Last week, Nerve.com updated their
Sex Scene Database, a repository for all things sweaty and nude from the world of cinema. It was hard work, but I picked the 10 funniest scenes from the list, including some that aren't supposed to be funny.
And why not? Sex is funny and stupid. Buncha naked people fitting things into places and making weird faces and screaming. Sometimes you can even see a girl's boobs if you're lucky and you feed or pay her enough.
So close the blinds, sit back, open another browser on your work computer, and kick out the laughs, or take off your pants.
10. American Psycho Sure it ends with Patrick Bateman beating the prostitutes bloody, including a nude hallway chase with a chainsaw, but the part where he flexes into the camera is hot as shit. I mean, scary. And by scary I mean we also flex into the camera during sex.
9. Ace VenturaThis was the part in
Ace Ventura: Pet Detectivethat my mother would fast forward, and also the scene my father would ask to rewind three times.
8. High Fidelity In this scene, Rob imagines his ex-girlfriend getting it dirty from Ian, his neighbor from the next floor up. Ladies, this is what Susan Sarandon saw for 23 years.
7. Fast Times At Ridgemont HighLess a sex scene than just watching Judge Reinhold jerk off in a pirate costume. Is it just me or did Phoebe Cates look like a deflated Kardashian back in the day? Because it still rules.
6. Jerry MaguireImagine my discomfort when the family rents this Tom Cruise and Cameron Crowe flick, thinking we would get a sweet love story with that squinty girl from Katy, and we get a howling sex scene with Kelly Preston. Chubs FTW. For Kelly Preston, I mean. Yeah...
5. Secretary I had to do a Twitter poll on this one, the office panty scene, because I wasn't sure if this was funny or sexy to people. The results were split between "Hot as hell" and "Ew." I find Maggie Gyllenhaal attractive, so funny wins.
4. Jackie BrownI always wanted to see Robert De Niro panting on Bridget Fonda for 30 seconds, and for Christmas in 1997, I got my wish.
3. Knocked UpI'm not saying this scene is eerily close to something that happened to me, but I'm not saying it's not.
2. Showgirls For the longest time, I just assumed all women splashed and gyrated like that during sex. Imagine my surprise when all they really do is slap you in the face and laugh at you.
1. SuperbadI do not miss drunk high school girls at all.
Keep the Houston Press Free... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Houston with no paywalls.
