Anyone notice this quote was used in Kobra Kai season 6? I’m assuming those guys got it from E.T. ,but it could just be a coincidence. It’s the only two times I’ve ever heard this expression.
shareI remember being sooo shocked when I heard that while watching "E.T." as a kid, hehehehe. We had a lot more taboo words kids weren't [technically] allowed to say back in the 80s and 90s, but as you know, kids love breaking the rules.
shareWhen the film was released, parent groups were outraged by the line and the mother's reaction where she laughed and did not scold Elliott. That and the FBI agents chasing a kid with a gun.
shareShe did scold him in a sense. Not harshly, but she admonished him with a stern "Elliott!" and told him to sit down. Her laugh was somewhat involuntary. And the correct line was "It was nothing like that, penis breath!" not what OP wrote.
shareThere is nothing funny about it, if we go by Adam Parfrey's essay released in 1993. The people working on Cobra Kai obviously know what it is all about. It's quite sinister.
