Trojan Gauntlet: Difference between revisions

*** Except that oral contraceptives require a prescription in the USA (some other nations don't). So you can't buy them "over the counter" in the United States (where the show takes place).

* There's an [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xHRT0b2Bv4 hilarious scene] in the dark comedy ''G.B.H.'' where labor leader Mike Murray, eager to make love to the beautiful blonde waiting in his hotel room, tries to find a packet of condoms in the middle of a ''[[Doctor Who]]'' convention. Unfortunately the hotel's vending machine is empty thanks to a large influx of firemen the previous night. Mike has to borrow some from the hotel's owner who's in his office with several conventioneers, including one dressed as a Dalek.

'''Hotel Owner:''' "I don't work social hours, you know!" }}

* ''[[Everybody Loves Raymond]]'' devotes a Halloween episode to this one. In deference to the relatively family-friendly nature of the show, the condoms are referred to as "the stuff". So Ray buys "the stuff" to prove to Debra that he can be responsible. Brightly colored ones, to be specific. Unfortunately, before Ray gets to use them, Frank sees them in the bag on the kitchen counter and, thinking they're colorful candy, gives them to the trick-or-treaters.

* ''[[Bottom]]'' does this in the first episode.

'''Eddie:''' Rubber ones. }}

** And later:

'''Eddie:''' No, no, get two. }}

* ''[[Seinfeld]]'''s episode "The Sponge" sees Elaine's preferred method pulled off the market leaving her desperate to find whatever sponges remain in New York. This, of course, leads to the [[Catch Phrase]] "Spongeworthy."
