dirtiest joke the show's done?


Watching Best Men, and I have to say I did not pick up on this one until now:

Cam is threatening to withhold wedding ring from Sal. Mitchell tries to wrestle it from him and essentially ends up on Cam's back like a monkey. In comes Sal, and very quickly with the delivery of "Well this is a mystery solved."

Woah. Dirtiest joke in the show's run?

My favorite (maybe not the dirtiest) is when Haley and Alex and another girl have sneaked into their school to fill a girl's locker with shaving cream - a security guard approaches and the girls scatter - Haley and Alex hide in the boys locker room - Alex says "Ew! It smells like feet." - Haley says "That's not feet!"

reply

Not necessarily...the wrapped mini-van was pretty dirty in itself, and the jokes it inspired. ;-)
("Does the carpet match the drapes?")

Also, at the school play: "We Love the F Word."

And, Cam called teaching his students about musicals, "Sondheimizing them."

reply

"...I don't know. I haven't checked in a while."

"It'll give me a chance to give them a good scrubbing."

 Loved that whole scene... and episode! (Bring back Jonathan Banks as Jay's brother!)

reply

I forget that scene with Sal's comment. Is it just a "who's bottom, who's top" joke, or am I missing something more, lol?

I'm so bad at coming up with stuff like this off the bat, but this scene came to mind: http://youtu.be/BmA3e89gwgA

If people can't or don't want to click on the 19-second clip: Cam is pissed they can't adopt a cat without going through a whole process so he talks about how the cat would have been "on the receiving end of affection 24 hours a day." As he carries on, Mitch is pulling up--making the car "bounce" for Lily--and their plastic animals awkwardly roped to the car look like they're humping each other!

reply

The stuffed animals was probably the most overt sexual joke, but I think the more subtle Luke's "dirty" sock in Claire's face was filthiest. Very funny though.

Probably the reference to Haley masturbating from the episode where her webcam had been on all summer and Alex said something to the effect of it being in her room where she changes and who else knows what to which Luke said, "Everyone else knows what."

reply

i don't think the joke was about her masturbating... I think the joke is the "who" knows what else being "everyone"

I can't remember the exact joke or the set up but it was something like this; Cam suspects Mitchell is cheating on him and said he knows he's been talking to someone and Mitchell says "it was just a cockatoo" and Cam's response indicated he thought Mitch said, well you know...

reply

These are the lines, from American Skyper - last episode of season 6 (from Springfieldspringfield.co.UK):

"- Cam, you're acting crazy.
- Am I? Mitchell, I found the receipt to the Avian Hotel.
- That's pronounced "avian."
- Well, it sounds seedy.
It is.
It's a kennel for birds.
- It's where I picked up George.
- There's a George too?
Calm down.
I'm talking about a cockatoo.
Oh! One or two.
Is that all? How blasé.
Cam, George is a bird and Spencer is an old man I've been hanging out with at the park because I - I got laid off."

I contend there may be another joke in there because blasé, without the accent, spells a form of the German word for blow, and is the slang word - the accent is on the first syllable.

This one is fairly explicit, from A Fair to Remember - Manny thinks a little old lady messed up his cake, but it was Gloria:

"It's Los Angeles after an 11.5 earthquake.
I call it earth-cake.
Manny, that's amazing!
You think that's amazing? Wait till I smash this thing right on top of Enid's piece of sheet cake.
No, no, no! Wait! Manny, Enid didn't do it. ..."

reply

gay friend "I have to leave Im going to a hockey game, Kings vs Blackhawks"
Pepper. "Wow, they can call a team THAT?"
Friend "Black HAWKS"
Pepper "Ohhhh"

reply

and later Pepper hears it again and goes "Sorry, I still hear it"

When Mitchell was saying if they drop to a three star rating, the only person who would rent their apartment would be people who are about to have a baby so they can stay here. Not dirty but wasn't politically correct, I thought it was funny.

It was from the episode with the 3 weird family who rented the upstair unit.
