Comic Sutra: Difference between revisions

'''Wendy Ward''': I own one, Adam. Adam, have you ever had a Dominican face-hat?

'''Adam Rafkin''': No.

 

Someone with [[Really Gets Around|a lot of sexual experience]] knows a lot of maneuvers, but doesn't want to go into detail about them, [[Moral Guardians|for various reasons]], so they refer to them by some name that isn't even remotely descriptive, and often has the name of a place in it, for some reason. This is truth in television; e.g. Cleveland Steamer, the name of which has nothing to do with the act itself. Any innocent viewer will remain blissfully ignorant of the meaning of the phrase until someone tells them. [[Squick|Then they tend to wish they hadn't asked.]] One variation is where an unseen work describes or depicts a particularly bizarre, but nameless act. Another is where an act isn't named, only implied. Whatever the variation, it most likely involves one or two [[Noodle Implements]]. Related to [[Attack Pattern Alpha]]. See also [[Head-Tiltingly Kinky]].

 

 

 

* In episode 9.5 of ''[[DearS]]'', Miu heads over to Takeya's house to check in on Ren, only to find her "Watching porn to study Takeya's preferences in the earthling ways of sex."

{{quote|'''Ren:''' ''Holy cow, that looks pretty complicated...''

* ''[[Eating Raoul]]'': Mary is reviewing the flood of incoming letters for their fledgling sex-fantasy business. She asks, "What's a Basket Job?" Returns as a ''[[Brick Joke]]'' later, as one of the swingers at the big party complains vaguely while recounting a half-heard story: "Some Basket Job!"

* Although forgettable in every other way, ''[[Deuce Bigalow|Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo]]'' knew what it was and really went to town with this trope, giving us such intrigues as the Mud Pretzel, Turkish Snow Cone, Irish Facial, Filthy Lopez, and Cambodian Creamsicle. The Portuguese Breakfast even became a [[Running Gag]], [[Incredibly Lame Pun|climaxing]] with some Comic Sutra ''almost'' being [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_TxQEE7Z44 demonstrated on-screen!]

{{quote|Ptraci defused the situation by grabbing Alfonz's arm as he was serving the pheasant.

* ''[[Lamb: The Gospel According To Biff]]'' includes a sequence in India where, while Joshua is learning things like yoga from Gaspar the Magi, Biff learns a number of bizarre sexual positions from a prostitute. It's obviously a take on the Kama Sutra, but seeing as the real Kama Sutra doesn't have positions like "The Rhinoceros Balancing a Jelly Donut on its Horn"...

* In ''[[The Hollows|Dead Witch Walking]]'', Ivy gives Rachel a copy of a vampire dating guide so she won't accidentally set off Ivy's bloodlust. Rachel makes the mistake of reading it on the bus, and being asked about various acts by other bus riders.

* ''[[Heirs of Alexandria|Shadow of the Lion]]'' has a position called the "twin Camellias", which involves a footstool and a number of cushions, and "could very well give a man a permanent back injury".

 

* "Mexican Halloween" on an episode of ''[[Community]]'' isn't just a nickname for the Day of the Dead; Chang, Troy, and Jeff all seem to know what it is, while Abed and Annie don't.

* The above quote from the [[Too Good to Last]] tv show ''[[Action]]''.
