Oral Sex Gag Takes The Simpsons‘ Katy Perry Muppet Parody Way Over the Line

video
» 51 comments

In its eleventy-billionth season, Fox’s long-running animated hit The Simpsons seems more intent on retaining its edge than Patty and Selma‘s Lady Schick cartridges. Sunday night’s Christmas anthology was capped off by a pitch-perfect parody of The Muppet Show, but veered into adult humor that would make the Muppet-inspired pottymouths of Avenue Q blush.

Following a musical number with Sesame Street exile Katy Perry, creep’s creep Moe Szyslak goes in to kiss Perry’s belly button. “That’s not my belly button,” Perry points out, followed by the jaw-dropper, “but I didn’t say stop.”

As any longtime Simpsons fan will tell you, the show has long trafficked in edgy, not-for-kids humor, but this has got to be a first on network television. breaking the dual taboos of oral sex and puppet-on-human conjugal bliss. But did it have to be Moe? Those who object to the gag on moral grounds can at least console themselves with the fact that this clip was immediately followed by the sound of millions of vaginae slamming shut.

Here’s the clip, from Fox Television’s The Simpsons:

    Are you saying the gag wasn’t ‘tasteful’?

    Ouch!

    Link bait is nice but this isn’t even vaguely about poltics :P

  • moriarty70

    Anyone who got morally offended by this should be ashamed of how filthy and disgusting they are. You have to be otherwise how did you get the joke?

    Me, I loved it, and stand by the view that if your kid got the joke, it’s not the shows fault.

  • Just4thefax

    Fact: Liberal cartoon porn. That’s great.

    C’mon, vague is the only word that applies. People are going to scream about the “moral decline of family values. THINK OF THE CHILDREN!” (See my above post on that take)

    Although this seems like the humor right in line with the values my family raised me with.

    Erm, do you even know the meaning of the word fact. Or is that the Republican definition?

  • Harry Flashman

    I dunno.

    I’m no prude by any stretch of the imagination and have watched The Simpsons since their birth on the Tracy Ullman Show. While they have always been a bit crude with a sort of an Al Bundy-ish hand-down-the-pants sort of humor, they’ve slipped from crude-funny to vulgar-cringe humor. See the above video.

    Sorry but – it ain’t funny.

    This isn’t “retaining its edge”. It’s stretching the field and doing a poor and classless job of it.

    Of course, that’s just my opinion. I could be wrong. (With apologies to Dennis Miller)

    Oral Sex Gag….Tommy, tell us “no pun intended.” We won’t believe you.

    No, he has proven repeatedly that he has no idea what a fact is or what the facts are.

    And on FOX.

    If Russell Brand doesn’t have a problem with a puppet doing his wife, who are we to complain.

    I’m offended that it was Moe doing it.

    Was it intentional? Well, maybe just a hair…

    Tommy was thinking outside the box.

    You almost missed it, it was a pretty close shave.

  • Magister

    Way back in elementary school, the following joke made the rounds…

    Gomer Pyle asked his girlfriend Lou Ann, if he could stick his finger in her belly button. In her wonderful accent, Lou Ann said that she guess it’d be okay. Gomer shifted and Lou Ann exclaimed, “Gomer – that’s not my belly button” to which he replied, “and it’s not my finger too”.

    It was just a wise crack.

  • Arch

    I thought it was funny and not out of bounds. Of course, I loved the whole segment. I’d happily watch lots more puppet Simpsons.

  • Arch

    I should say I agree with the poster above who said if your kid gets it, it’s not because of the show.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Chris-Kelly/720731075 Chris Kelly

    It was slightly funny, but it was more adult than I’ve come to expect from their show.

    What’s worse is that Perry doesn’t have to “work blue” when she has at least a couple of phenomenal talents:

    On certain websites I’d say that “Successful Troll was successful”.

    Give me a break. This crossed no line that was not already obliterated by network television a decade ago.

  • Bad Wolf

    The beauty of the Simpsons is that it appeals to all levels of intelligence.
    Kids find it funny and more sophisticated adults do too, if they choose to watch.

    Without some double entendre’s and cultural witticisms, this would just be a cartoon.
    Great episode.

    A “jaw-dropper”? Katy most certainly is!

    Fact: You have proved daily you’re a dumb ass that’s stuck in stupid loop. It hurts us all to read anything that spewing from your mind to post. What can I say other than it must be tuff to sputter thru life. Sorry about the delay in your welfare but don’t worry democrats will submit and you’ll see it soon.

    That doesn’t make a lick of sense!

    well , at least everyone has a sense of humor

  • Kspraydad

    I really didn’t find that this fit with the humour I expect from this show. It was unnecessary.

  • cjd ohio 1

    hell, the puns on the comment section were better

  • TinaFromTampa

    I’m guessing Justice Thomas replayed the scene over and over again on his TiVo.

    At least Marge and Martha Stewart did not parody “I kissed a girl and i liked it!”
    That’d be disgusting, but I’d still watch.

    It was a pretty boring skit and shows that Katy Perry is so vain she couldn’t even allow herself to be Simpsonized in order to be on the Simpsons.

  • tugbote

    Even with Moe’s tongue, I wouldn’t lick that.

  • Liberty_Hound

    There are times when being a puppet has its advantages.. I’m just saying..

    2 more new words for Webster’s…
    What’s the term for “being into puppets”?
    Puppetifile – people into under age puppets…
    Pupposexual – people into puppets old enough to consent…

    I wonder.. Can pupposexuals join the military? It really shouldn’t be a problem since I don’t think there are puppets in the military.. Well, not the literal kind anyway.

    Never mind.. Why did I even bother?.. I’m reluctant to admit I didn’t know who Katy Perry was until today. I’ve seen her on covers of magazines but truly didn’t know she was a singer. She’s pretty good at it too, although I’m more into Classic Rock .

    Hey Tony Westover: sorry to hear about your rampant homosexuality. Katy Perry is damn hot and if *you* were offended by something, that’s *your* fault. Freedom of speech rules. No one made you watch the show, but you did.

    The worst part about that episode was that this incident didn’t happen until after they’d sung “the unabridged 39 days of Christmas, rolled the credits, and only after the credits were done did they come back to the puppet-house for Moe to say “I wanna give you a kiss but I’m too short. I’ll just kiss your belly button.” I’d already finished recording it on my phone and was transferring it to my computer when this happened, and I missed recording it.

    Luckily, I saw it in a rerun not too long after and I was able to get the entire skit recorded the 2nd time, and uploaded to FB.

    I’d eat the corn outta Katy Perry’s asshole, yes I would.
