The Talk: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

* ''[[The Andy Griffith Show]]'': Andy literally tells Opie, "Sometimes, when a man and a woman love each other very much..." and the show dissolves away.

** Opie tells a friend afterward that he knew all about it already, but didn't say anything since Andy was so eager to tell him.

** One episode ends with Pearl giving "the talk" to Bobo.

** In "Parts: The Clonus Horror", Pearl, Bobo and Brain Guy try to give "the talk" to some Space Children.

* Subverted by a ''[[A Bit of Fry and Laurie]]'' sketch in which Fry asks Laurie (playing his son) if he knows where babies come from. Laurie replies "I always sort of assumed that you put your penis into mummy's vagina and then intercourse occured". Fry responds that this is indeed what they told him but that it is a bit more complicated than that, going on to say that somehow carpets are involved in the process. (The whole sketch turns into a spoof plug for the show's supposed sponsor's "Tideyman's Carpets').

** Even better in another Fry and Laurie sketch when a father (Laurie) brings his son to the headmaster (Fry) complaining about the "vulgar lies" his son had been taught in his biology class. "Sexual intercourse sometimes leads to pregnancy in the adult female." Apparently the man believed that children came out of nowhere after a man and woman had gotten married and bought a house.

* [[Buffy]] and her mom have a different kind of talk after Angelus tells Joyce that he and Buffy had sex. It is played not for laughs, but for angst, as it brings up the emotional agony Buffy is suffering as a result of Angel losing his soul.

* ''[[MASH]]'': Colonel Blake gives a lecture on the dangers of getting STD from the local prostitutes which creates much amusement in those listening, as he acts like an embarrassed father giving [[The Talk]].

* Subverted in the ''[[Married With Children]]'' episode "Raingirl", where Peggy gives this speech to Kelly:

{{quote| Kelly, maybe it's time we had a little talk. You're getting to be a big girl now, and there's something I've been putting off telling you for a while. But time is slipping by quickly, and I don't want you to learn about it on the street. Honey, there is a thing out there that men will want you to do. In fact, they'll expect it. Now, no woman really enjoys it, but we do it, get them to marry us, and then never have to do it again. That horrible thing is called "work".}}

{{quote| '''Vastra:''' I am trying to be delicate. I know how you can blush. When did this baby...''begin''?<br />

'''The Doctor''': Oh, you mean...well, how should I know? That's all human-y private stuff, it just sort of goes on. They don't put up a balloon or anything! }}

** The rerun issue sounds like they used a "music and effects" soundtrack. A lot of shows have these, they're used to create foreign language versions, otherwise you'd have to rebuild the entire soundtrack. I'd guess it was a cockup rather than some kind of censorship.

* Subverted in ''[[South Park]]'', "The Return of the Fellowship of the Rings to the Two Towers", where the parents think the children have watched a wild porn film, and seemingly out of the blue explain groupsex, urine fetishism, etc. to the increasingly aghast children. This is because of an earlier scene where they tried to deliver a more traditional version of "the talk" to Token (who ''did'' see the film). When they're done talking about the things a man and a woman do when they're in love, he says, "And when the woman has four penises in her at once, then stands up and pees all over the men... is that love? Five midgets, spanking a man covered in Thousand Island dressing... is that love?"
