Being shot in the penis is not funny.


It happened in 21 Jump Street too.
It's gross and actually kinda disturbing. The fact that it's played for laughs makes it so much worse too. And especially in The Heat with the guy being thrown in prison afterwards with a load of guys he put in there - he's gonna be tortured - I just don't find it funny at all.

Wow, what a buzzkill. You must be loads of fun to hang out with.

That's what comedy is all about. Have you seen the hangover?

Always be yourself. Unless you can be Batcatt, then always be Batcatt.

reply

Yeah - I don't remember any comical castration in that though

You've gotta be a chick. It's *beep* hilarious. If a flick had a bitch shot in the puss would you make a "being shot in the vagina is not funny" thread?

made you look!

reply

Probably. I think that's kinda sick too. haha

reply

My advice is, don't take it seriously.

We all know being shot in the dick wouldn't actually be funny, but neither would being dropped from three stories onto your own car, but I still laughed *beep* hysterically at it.

reply

Well the same could then be said for rape scenes in films.

Simply don't take it seriously....

Yet we get loads of nut jobs who come out of the woodwork when they even hint at showing a rape scene.

reply

Are you saying rape scenes in movies are funny?

reply

That part I found funny. But I didn't find it funny when Sandra Bullocks character stabs the guy in the throat and sticks a straw in there. That grossed me out.

reply

That was borderline for me.

reply

I know anything that is assault is disturbing yet it's been done forever. I guess you have to not take it literally since it is fiction. I hate date rape but it's in a lot of college comedies..

We live by the Sun, we feel by the Moon

Didn't like the dick shooting either. Same goes for the Giraffe being decapitated for laughs in Hangover 3

I think she missed his wang and tagged his prostate and pubis. Oweee.

Are you guys serious? The guy is a drug lord who had loads of people shot just like that because they get in his way or don't want to be his accomplices. We see one get shot in the forehead on-screen, and the other one is in the hospital in an induced coma.
To say he deserves all that came to him and is coming to him, is an understatement. And I would only get a thread like this is the OP was actually shot in the dick himself, which is not the case.
It's a movie....it's a comedy....it's a chick-flick.
