“Doesn’t anyone fuck anymore?!”

It’s a question Jennifer Lawrence shouts in exasperation after frantically searching a college house party for boning teenagers in 2023’s R-rated sex romp, No Hard Feelings – but she might as well have been taking stock of comedy’s recent dry spell on the big screen.

We used to be a society, one that collectively laughed whenever a flaccid penis flopped around on 35mm or naked body parts flailed with abandoned in a packed cineplex. Movies once bravely mined humor from carnal rites of passage – backseat blowjobs gone wrong, prom virginity pacts, the nauseating ingenuity that happens when a horny teenager meets a hot pie – forcing us to cringe in embarrassment, then cackle at our own prudishness.

Raunchy comedies weren’t always perfect – in fact, plenty of them feel misogynistic, reductive, crass, and exploitative upon rewatch – but they were vital to how we view sex and nudity, consent, and relationships on screen. They mocked our own insecurities, but somehow, made it easier to accept them too. They crafted ludicrous storylines that reminded us of our own beginner mishaps and fumbling embarrassments. They were dumb teenaged quests for climax drenched in ill-gotten warm beer a la Superbad, absinthe-fueled Eurotrips, a 40-Year-Old Virgin’s chest-waxing montage, frat bacchanalias, and regretful one-night-stands – but they mattered.

Somewhere along the way, – likely sandwiched between the birth of streaming and the sterilization of cinema via superhero-neutered franchises – studios lost their appetite for filth and foul-mouthed fun, and audiences began to question the need for debauchery of all kinds in moviemaking. Well, no more. We may have evolved past the formulaic bawdiness of American Pie franchises but there’s still a place for R-rated exploits on screen, and a way for comedy to use them to surprise, entertain, and maybe even liberate modern audiences from the sexless cinema we’ve been resigned to.

These are our picks for the 15 best raunchy comedies to come in the past 15 years.

No Hard Feelings (2023)

Naturally, Lawrence’s comedic piece-de-resistance tops our list of recent(ish) raunchy comedies worth watching. Everything about her performance as Maddie – a crass, selfish millennial struggling to weather the gentrification of her seaside paradise and seeking financial assistance from two wealthy overbearing parents trying to pimp their purity-saddled teenage son – is brave. From her failed attempts at seduction to some brilliant roller-blading bits and that skinny-dipping smackdown – Lawrence lets it all hang out in this sex comedy that has a surprisingly sentimental climax.

Bottoms (2023)

Two unapologetically horny teens start a lesbian fight club to hook up with the hottest girls in school. Emma Seligman’s modern comedic masterpiece has done what David Fincher never could – make punching people both a feminist commentary on inequality and a form of foreplay. Rachel Sennott and Ayo Edebiri have sizzling chemistry, playing off each other’s improvised banter with ease while also making us root for their lusty, lewd Queer outcasts to finally get some. It’s a refreshing gender reversal that uses old tropes to set up new jokes and introduces us to our new favorite sleazy sapphic antiheroes.

The Hangover (2009)

Todd Phillips’ Vegas-set fever dream sits atop the pantheon of bro comedies for a number of reasons. It’s relatable: Who amongst us hasn’t been so hungover they forgot the exploits of the night before? It’s also completely absurd: Who amongst us has actually gotten so drunk we lost our best friend and had to scour a city’s criminal underbelly to find him? It’s well-cast, sporting some gutsy, gut-busting performances from Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, and Bradley Cooper. And it’s got a great bit involving Mike Tyson and a tiger that ends with a truly catch jingle. What more could you ask for?

Blockers (2018)

Blockers works as both a coming-of-age and mid-life crisis comedy, a butt-funneled blend of laugh-out-loud physicality and surprisingly progressive messaging that goes down smoothly despite the initial discomfort of its premise. It succeeds thanks to its cast — John Cena is fearless when it comes to selling a joke and he’s propped up by dependably funny performances from Leslie Bibb and Ike Barinholtz. While the adults of the film fumble their way through parenting their teenage daughters, chasing them down in mini-vans and attempting to interpret their eggplant emoji usage, the girls take a refreshing, hormone-driven approach to sex, delighting in innuendos and hatching hilarious plans to get laid that don’t quite go off with the kind of bang they were hoping for.

Girl’s Trip (2017)

The defining characteristic of great raunchy comedy is its ability to transform a seemingly innocuous food into a sex toy. That’s what this female-led romp starring Jada Pinkett Smith, Queen Latifah, Tiffany Haddish, and Regina Hall does – desecrating the sanctity of citrus fruits for laughs as its stars f*ck, fight, and raise hell around New Orleans. Vacations are comedy breeding grounds but rarely do women get to behave so badly on them while also reaffirming the power of female friendship. (And good luck keeping your jaw closed any time Haddish drops an improvised one-liner.)

Bridesmaids (2011)

Not too long ago, Hollywood questioned whether women could be both crass and funny, so Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Ellie Kemper, and Wendi McLendon-Covey shit themselves — in bathroom sinks and bridal suites and busy streets — to silence those doubts. Paul Feig’s female-fronted comedy never lets up on the gas, launching with a laughably cringe sex montage before plugging as many crude punchlines and smutty setups as possible to tell the story of Annie (Wiig), a failed bakery owner competing for the title of “Maid of Honor” in her best friend’s upcoming nuptials. She’s pitted against as deftly funny Rose Byrne but her biggest adversary is herself, which is why everything goes to shit (literally) when she hallucinates on airplanes and melts down near chocolate fountains in preparation for her bestie’s big day.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)

Coital supercuts, Dracula musicals, Paul Rudd playing a surf instructor filled with existential advice about lemons and shark attacks … this Judd Apatow-produced comedy really does have it all. Jason Segel does some of his best comedic work playing a composer trying to heal from a breakup with his actor ex while on vacation only to run into her and her new rockstar boyfriend at the same resort. His attempts to both avoid and confront the reasons they separated are hindered and helped by a slew of funny co-stars like Rudd, Mila Kunis, Bill Hader, Jonah Hill, and Jack McBrayer while Kristen Bell and Russell Brand cluelessly bang their way around the island and add to his misery.

Bachelorette (2012)

Bridesmaids may have delighted in the chaos of wedding planning but this underrated comedy starring Kirsten Dunst, Rebel Wilson, Isla Fisher, and Lizzy Caplan gives us the coke-fueled, stripper-stuffed, sex-crazed bachelorette party that film never got to. The premise follows Dunst, Wilson, and Caplan — three friends from high school reuniting for the wedding of their less popular fourth wheel (Wilson). The girls are mean, rude, horny jealous hangers-on who spend the night before the wedding hooking up with male bridal party members, nearly overdosing, and desperately trying to repair the wedding dress they destroyed in a moment of cruelty. They are entirely unlikeable and yet, easy as hell to laugh at.

Neighbors (2014)

Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne fend off the fraternity from hell in this debauched comedy littered with used condoms, airbag pranks, and dildo fights. The two play a couple of reformed partiers parenting their newborn when Zach Efron, Dave Franco, and their brotherhood move in next door. What begins amicably devolves into a war of one-ups for the block as the college kids punish the couple for calling the cops on their parties, making it harder to sell their once-beloved home.

Step Brothers (2008)

Adam McKay’s joke-per-minute coming-of-middle-age tale isn’t technically that risque, but there are enough crude innuendos and shirtless Will Ferrell gags to warrant its spot on this list. Most of the dirtiest comedy bits come from the enemies-to-brothers storyline that sees Ferrell and John C. Reilly playing two grown men still living at home when their parents marry and blend their unconventional families. Catalina wine mixers, sleepwalking hijinks, teabagging drum sets — it’s all here, as is a deliciously funny subplot involving Reilly and Kathryn Hahn as a wildly horny housewife desperate for some action.

For a Good Time Call (2012)

A truly underrated gem about two frenemies who start a phone sex business, this R-rated binge is a surprising comfort watch. Uptight Lauren (Lauren Miller Rogen) is forced to room with her college enemy Katie (a terrific Ari Graynor) who runs a phone sex line to pay for her Grammercy pad. When the two join forces in the name of making rent, they end up bonding over the strangest things — first-time threesome dial-ins, phone anal, adjectives that pair well with genitalia. What starts as a ridiculous, raunchy romp turns into a surprisingly sentimental ode to female friendship — albeit one you wouldn’t want to watch with your parents.

Magic Mike XXL (2015)

Steven Soderbergh’s first strip club outing was all moody lighting and dramatic redemption stories which … fine. But the sequel to Channing Tatum’s real-life inspired come-up is wilder, racier, and funnier, focused more on the absurdity of the main character’s profession and committed to squeezing its premise of every titillating drop. The boys reunite (sans shirts, obviously) for a convention in Myrtle Beach, surviving the usual road trip gaffes while crafting a routine filled with enough thrusts, gyrations, and body rolls to leave you laughing (likely uncomfortably).

Good Boys (2019)

A movie so vulgar, its own underaged cast probably can’t watch it, this coming-of-age comedy starring Jacob Tremblay, Brady Noon, and Keith L. Williams as three sixth graders on a quest for popularity is filled with cringe-humor. Most of the film sees the trio in tense negotiations with Molly Gordon over a bag of ecstasy and a high-tech drone as they battle frat bros, cross busy interstates, and wield dildos against police officers. The boys are foul-mouthed but naive and that dichotomy is what sets up most of the funniest jokes.

Booksmart (2019)

Olivia Wilde’s directorial debut sees Beanie Feldstein and Kaitlyn Dever play two straight-A students determined to indulge in one night of depravity before they ship off to college. The movie delights in toying with stereotypes — the popular kids the duo is determined to party with are also Ivy League bound — and doesn’t shy away from the messy Queer hookups and toxic teacher friendships and drug-fueled mistakes that have come to define modern coming-of-age stories. It’s a bit more tame than most on this list, but it’s just as funny.

Plus One (2019)

Another under-the-radar rom-com worth a watch is this R-rated indie starring Jack Quaid and Maya Erskine as two best friends who brave a busy wedding season as each other’s plus ones. As Alice and Ben, Erskine and Quaid have terrific chemistry, getting blackout drunk on dance floors, boinking in graveyards, and perfecting the art of being each other’s wingmen. Erskine borrows the same comedic sensibilities that made her PEN15 show so funny, crassly kidding about everything from accidental boners to unkempt bushes while Quaid plays the embarrassed straight man type just trying to get laid.

Oh, the simpler times! Pogs flipping in the schoolyard, the snap of a brightly colored slap bracelet adorning a wrist, and the joy of opening a lunchbox to reveal a smorgasbord of treats. The lunchboxes of the 90s and early 00s were filled with neon-colored fruit gummies, buildable pizzas or sandwiches with the crust meticulously cut off. Despite these artificial flavors and lackluster nutrition, the thrill of opening a vibrant, flavor-filled lunchbox remains unmatched.

Fast-forward to the 2020s. Now, as parents, we face a conundrum: ensuring our kids’ lunches and snacks are just as nutritious as they are fun. While we fondly remember our fluorescent fruit snacks, there’s now a clear understanding of the need for real fruits, veggies, and fewer additives in those packs.

The ocean covers over 71% of the Earth’s surface and serves as our planet’s heart. Ocean currents circulate vital heat, moisture, and nutrients around the globe to influence and regulate our climate, similar to the human circulatory system. Cool, right?

Our ocean systems provide us with everything from fresh oxygen to fresh food. We need it to survive and thrive—and when the ocean struggles to function healthfully, the whole world is affected.

Pollution, overfishing, and climate change are the three biggest challenges preventing the ocean from doing its job, and it needs our help now more than ever. Humans created the problem; now humans are responsible for solving it.

#BeOceanWise is a global rallying cry to do what you can for the ocean, because we need the ocean and the ocean needs us. If you’re wondering how—or if—you can make a difference, the answer is a resounding YES. There are a myriad of ways you can help, even if you don’t live near a body of water. For example, you can focus on reducing the amount of plastic you purchase for yourself or your family.

Another easy way to help clean up our oceans is to be aware of what’s known as the “dirty dozen.” Every year, scientists release an updated list of the most-found litter scattered along shorelines. The biggest culprit? Single-use beverage and food items such as foam cups, straws, bottle caps, and cigarette butts. If you can’t cut single-use plastic out of your life completely, we understand. Just make sure to correctly recycle plastic when you are finished using it. A staggering 3 million tons of plastic ends up in our oceans annually. Imagine the difference we could make if everyone recycled!

The 2022 “Dirty Dozen” ListOcean Wise

If you live near a shoreline, help clean it up! Organize or join an effort to take action and make a positive impact in your community alongside your friends, family, or colleagues. You can also tag @oceanwise on social if you spot a beach that needs some love. The location will be added to Ocean Wise’s system so you can submit data on the litter found during future Shoreline Cleanups. This data helps Ocean Wise work with businesses and governments to stop plastic pollution at its source. In Canada, Ocean Wise data helped inform a federal ban on unnecessary single-use plastics. Small but important actions like these greatly help reduce the litter that ends up in our ocean.

Ocean Wise, a conservation organization on a mission to restore and protect our oceans, is focused on empowering and educating everyone from individuals to governments on how to protect our waters. They are making conservation happen through five big initiatives: monitoring and protecting whales, fighting climate change and restoring biodiversity, innovating for a plastic-free ocean, protecting and restoring fish stocks, and finally, educating and empowering youth. The non-profit believes that in order to rebuild a resilient and vibrant ocean within the next ten years, everyone needs to take action.

Become an Ocean Wise ally and share your knowledge with others. The more people who know how badly the ocean needs our help, the better! Now is a great time to commit to being a part of something bigger and get our oceans healthy again.

Some of the Fast and Furious muscle men allegedly have it written into their contracts that they’re not allowed to lose a fight. They don’t want to look like — god forbid — a “wimp.” Kevin Costner reportedly has something similar in his Yellowstone contract, except his is a “moral death” clause.

Puck reports that it “lists in general terms the various ways that Costner’s character can and can’t be killed off, including deaths that would cause shame or embarrassment to John Dutton — and, implicitly, to Costner and his family.” It’s Costner’s way of making sure he, not creator Taylor Sheridan, has the most creative control over Yellowstone.

Costner and Sheridan indeed got on a call together in early July to discuss how a return would work. Before the strike, Sheridan had written most of [season] 5B assuming Costner would not be back, but he is said to have been willing to scrap those scripts and re-write them post-strike with a John Dutton arc. But on the call, Costner, while speaking in a friendly tone to Sheridan, unfurled his list of demands: Increased money, reduced shooting schedule, and — here’s the kicker — the right to review, approve, and potentially veto every Sheridan script.

Sheridan did not take kindly to this demand (nor should he, considering how popular Yellowstone is). Now, following some legal ugliness, “Costner and his team believe that Sheridan’s planned kiss-off for John Dutton might violate that ‘moral death’ clause” as an act of revenge. It’s increasingly unlikely that Costner will be back for the final season of the most-watched scripted series on TV. But don’t worry, there’s 300 more Sheridan shows to come.

Whoopi Goldberg stunned pretty much everyone in the room when she randomly asked Alyssa Farah Griffin if she’s pregnant during a panel discussion on Mitt Romney’s salmon sandwiches during Thursday’s episode of The View.

The outrageous moment brought the show to a screeching halt because you don’t just ask a woman if she’s pregnant as Joy Behar pointed out. Whoopi immediately apologized and chalked the whole thing up to Griffin having a “glow” and a “vibe” to her that prompted the question. While Griffin was understandably flabbergasted by the moment, it didn’t help that her mother-in-law was in the audience and wants grandbabies.

Despite the moment quickly going viral, Griffin is taking the whole thing in stride and has nothing but love for Whoopi.

“She thinks out loud sometimes,” Griffin told The View: Behind the Table podcast via Mediaite. “And I chose to take it as a compliment that I’m glowing. She’s so sweet and at the break she’s was like, apologizing to me and giving me the heart sign.”

Griffin said wild moments are just part of being on The View:

“That’s what makes the show fun. It’s completely unpredictable. I thought we were talking about Mitt Romney, but then we were talking about my pregnancy plans of the future, which just again — headline news — I am not pregnant at this time.”

Griffin also made it a point to thank the make-up team, who apparently did an incredible job that day. “I’m giving credit to my makeup artist for making my face look like it was glowing,” she said.

Sadly, Joe Jones and Sophie Turner aren’t the only entertainer couple looking to dissolve their relationship. According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, “I Ain’t Gon Hold Ya” rapper Jeezy (real name Jay Jenkins) and America’s Test Kitchen host Jeannie Mai are reportedly heading toward divorce, too.

After two years of marriage, Jenkins has reportedly filed for divorce from his Emmy Award-winning wife. The outlet alleged that prior to the filing with the Fulton County Superior Court, the pair had been separate for a significant period of time. They did not confirm what reason was listed in the court documents, but the publication did share that Jenkins will seek joint legal custody of the couple’s one-year-old daughter, Monaco.

The duo got married in March 2021 at their Atlanta home. Since they began dating in 2018, they’ve shared their love story with the press and documented it across social media.

During an interview with ET’s Deidre Behar, following the ceremony Jeannie Mai opened up about their life together, saying, “Oh my god. Married life feels 1,000 percent different than when we were dating, in the greatest way. I loved our dating life because we really spent such concentrated quality time getting to know each other and making sure that we were right for each other. And now being married, it’s even more handled with such delicacy and such thoughtfulness, because we’re in our 40s and we both grew up in households that weren’t healthy marriages. We have never seen what that looks like.”

Neither Jeezy nor Jeannie Mai have released a public statement regarding the matter.

Jann Wenner co-founded Rolling Stone in 1967. In 2017, he sold it to Penske Media for more than $100 million. That same year, he was accused of sexual assault from former employees. More recently, he wrote the book The Masters, which is slated for publication later this month.

In a new interview with The New York Times that has gone viral, he clumsily explained why The Masters, which is a compilation of interviews with prominent rock figures, only centers on white men. David Marchese asked, “In the introduction, you acknowledge that performers of color and women performers are just not in your zeitgeist. Which to my mind is not plausible for Jann Wenner. Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell, Stevie Nicks, Stevie Wonder, the list keeps going — not in your zeitgeist? What do you think is the deeper explanation for why you interviewed the subjects you interviewed and not other subjects?”

Wenner replied, “When I was referring to the zeitgeist, I was referring to Black performers, not to the female performers, OK? Just to get that accurate. The selection was not a deliberate selection. It was kind of intuitive over the years; it just fell together that way. The people had to meet a couple criteria, but it was just kind of my personal interest and love of them. Insofar as the women, just none of them were as articulate enough on this intellectual level.”

He claimed, “Joni was not a philosopher of rock ‘n’ roll. She didn’t, in my mind, meet that test. Not by her work, not by other interviews she did. The people I interviewed were the kind of philosophers of rock,” he said. “Of Black artists — you know, Stevie Wonder, genius, right? I suppose when you use a word as broad as ‘masters,’ the fault is using that word. Maybe Marvin Gaye, or Curtis Mayfield? I mean, they just didn’t articulate at that level.”

See the stir this is causing on social media below. Wenner also had more to say on the subject, so check out the full interview here.

Even before the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes shut down Hollywood sets this summer, Suits was swaying people into the power of bingewatching older TV shows. Granted, the Gabriel Macht and Meghan Markle-starring USA Network series ended in 2019, so it’s not exactly ancient. Yet it’s still notable that people will not stop watching the show when there’s a buffet of new content constantly up for grabs. Suits has been on the Nielsen streaming lists all summer long and could turn out to be the biggest show of 2023. Much of the newfound binging is going down courtesy of Netflix, which has the first eight seasons available to watch.

Will Season 9, however, ever materialize on Netflix? Certainly, the audience is there for it, given that Nielsen noted that Suits broke the “record for acquired programming” on the streamer. Prince Harry has gone on record to declare himself not a fan of his wife’s sex scenes of yesteryear, but billions of minutes prove that other people are into the show as a whole. Netflix, thus far, has not publicized a date when Season 9 could join the rest.

At the moment, Season 9 (and Season 9 only) is available to watch on Amazon Prime. If, however, you would like to watch all nine seasons in the same place, then one streaming service has you covered. That would be Peacock, which has been spreading the word.

So, there you have it. Peacock initially launched with plenty of jokes about being The Office-focused streaming service, but there’s much more there now. That includes Yellowstone, Suits, and many other top series to explore.

Elon Musk desperately wants to be seen as funny, but actual funny people can’t seem to stand him. “This is such an age-old story. It’s somebody who wants to be funny, and they’re not funny and not everybody can be funny,” Patton Oswalt explained about the guy who destroyed Twitter, while Nikki Glaser unfavorably compared him to “Michael Scott meets Dr. Evil.”

Larry David, who created two of the funniest shows ever in Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm, also isn’t a fan.

David and Musk were seated at the same table at the 2022 wedding of Hollywood agent Ari Emanuel and fashion designer Sarah Staudinger, as revealed in author Walter Isaacson’s new biography of the Tesla founder. David, never one to not involve himself in uncomfortable confrontations, wasted no time in getting under Musk’s skin. “Do you want to murder kids in school?” he asked, a reference to the Uvalde school shooting a few days prior.

SF Gate has more:

Reportedly “baffled and annoyed,” Musk responded, “No, no, I’m anti-kid murder,” which compelled David to retort, “Then how could you vote Republican?” David seemed to be referencing Musk’s then-recent public flirtation with the GOP, and the lack of action from Republican lawmakers in the days following the mass shooting. On May 18, 2022, Musk wrote that he had voted for Democrats in the past but would no longer do so because “they have become the party of division & hate, so I can no longer support them and will vote Republican.”

David confirmed that the incident happened, telling Isaacson, “His tweets about voting Republican because Democrats were the party of division and hate were sticking in my craw. Even if Uvalde never happened, I probably would have brought it up, because I was angry and offended.”

It might have been worse for Elon. David could have called him “disgusting.”

“Hellcats SRTs 2” rapper Sexyy Red is offering her deep condolences to two Florida families caught in a heartbreaking tragedy. According to TMZ, late yesterday evening (September 14), gunfire erupted near where Sexyy Red was reportedly filming a music video with past collaborator Sukihana. Although the incident did not take place on the set of the visual, the shoot-out was not far from the Oakland Park Flea Market grounds in Oakland Park, Florida.

The reports revealed that two unnamed individuals were struck, and one was ultimately pronounced dead on the scene by local officials. Gerdy St. Louis, a spokesperson for the Broward Sheriff’s Office, shared that when deputies arrived, they attempted to treat the two victims as quickly as they could. The surviving victim was rushed to a local hospital for further treatment.

After learning about the fatal incident, Sexyy Red took to her official Instagram page to issue a statement. Read Sexyy Red’s complete statement regarding the incident below.

“I send my condolences to the family of the man who lost his life and prayers up for the person who was wounded. But I gotta address the rumors that it happened at my video shoot because shit is not true at all. To be clear it happened at a gas station across the street from my video set. Florida Highway Patrol and Broward County Sheriff confirmed that the shooting wasn’t on my set. [I’m] secure, and thanks to my production team getting all the paperwork right and working with the Broward Sheriff’s Office to hire off-duty’s to make sure everyone was safe. We finished the shoot at a different location, and everyone from our set went home safely. Period. I’m just trying to work hard, make good music, and connect with my fans. Please don’t try to twist narratives and put this on a b*tch.”
