Yes it's male genital nudity again ........


Yes more of Hollywoods weird double standard regarding nudity. Male genitals and associated jokes abound and never a vulva in sight. In the very very few recent films with female nudity always safely behind a patch and merkin.
Looks like this film will be like all the others in this genre , a complete bomb and flop!

Apparently its scrotum pictures at the end of the film , presumably next film will show labia close ups , oh I forgot there's a massive double standard so No

ITS TIME FOR THE MERKINS TO COME OFF, ITS TIME TO FREETHEVULVA!!

There isn't going to be enough white people left for them to say make another movie we have a audience left for it.

never a vulva in sight
 I know. I can't see vulva action being socially acceptable in mainstream films for some reason.

Edit: oh, wait, I just remembered Basic Instinct. It's only fleeting but you get to see a bit of vulva action from Sharon.

I hope you're kidding...Not another one like Neighbors 2........there was no female nudity and it sucked ass so bad

Not kidding, its like all the comedies coming out of the US!

It's not as if there are any films with female genitalia.

But, in these movies, they are doing it for the sake of comedy. Showing female genitalia just doesn't have a whole lot of humor to it - it's considered a beautiful thing, whereas most people would agree that male genitalia is not the most attractive thing. Therefore, it serves as the punchline to a joke better than a woman's. That's just the way that it is - it's not a double standard. PLUS, a male's genitalia sticks out, so it's far more visible than a woman's. That makes it more awkward which, again, better serves the comedy.

There HAVE been examples of a woman's genitalia being used as a joke in a comedy (the most common example probably being a woman who is incredibly hairy in that area), but there's just not as much of a laugh there. It's kind of like saying that we see more knives in horror movies than we do spoons. It's not that they are anti-spoon, but rather that a knife is inherently scarier than a spoon, like a male penis is funnier than a woman's vagina. They are double standards - they just better serve that particular genre.

There have been movies that have fairly explicitly explored sex (I'm not talking porn) that pretty generously show both genders, so, again, I really don't think it's a double standard. It's more a case of Hollywood going for the easy joke - whip a dude's dick out and the masses will laugh.

Hello, hello. What's going on? What's all this shouting? We'll have no trouble here.

Female genitals aren't funny looking and instead are "beautiful"? Really? Not according to Hollywood where they constantly make fun of vaginas and call them ugly, gross, filthy, and disgusting (and don't even get me started on what Hollywood says about menstrual blood). That doesn't sound to me like they think the body part is normal looking. Also, comedies show boobs all the time. Are boobs funny looking? Do you laugh when a woman shows her boobs? Vagina is actually way funnier looking than boobs, so why are they showing the lesser funny looking body part in comedies? And not to mention, non-comedies don't show vaginas either. Did we see a vagina in Fifty Shades of Grey? Was that a comedy? When have they shown a vagina in a non-comedy serious film before? The point people are making is they don't show vagina AT ALL, whether it is a comedy or non-comedy, in Hollywood mainstream films.

Just for your record, they have shown vaginas in comedic manner - on TV shows. Actress Lena Dunham showed her vagina on Girls on HBO in a comedic shock value manner. They also had a sexting episode where a pussy pic was shown on camera on the show Orange is the New Black and it was hysterical. As you can see, you CAN show vaginas in a funny manner. Hollywood filmmakers always choose not to. They fear the body part and fear the backlash that showing the body part would create - just as women went ballistic when vaginas were shown in these two shows, even though they were shown in a funny manner.

Also, your justification in showing male nudity by claiming male genitals stick out is pretty dumb. They zoom in and show lingering closeup shots of male genitals even though they don't need to, and for women, they NEVER EVER do that and instead, use fake pubic hair merkins to cover up everything. A shaved vagina shown up close for a lingering amount of time is MUCH more awkward and will produce much more shock value. Heck, the shaved FAKE vagina shown in the movie Knocked Up for a nanosecond caused so much shock, even TMZ wrote an article at the time questioning how they were able to show that in a film. Showing male genitals is now a broken record because it's been done to death that it's becoming an old joke.

And yes, there have been movies that have fairly explicitly explored sex that pretty generously show both genders - ALL WERE FOREIGN FILMS, not Hollywood. The pansy "males" who run Hollywood are only interested in showing men graphically nude without equal female nudity in return. That's why they are crumbling and films such as this one become box office bombs.

i wish we could could just beat the crap out of the idiot who thought putting a cock and balls in today's comedies was even remotely funny.

I think those balls were most likely fake though.
