Inappropriate Scenes That Aired On TV???

I just saw that on the bottom of the page where they show all of these stupid things that you can click on. None of it is very good or informative. I always think of it as Enquirer Crap.
This Inappropriate Scenes That Aired On TV had a picture of Kramer from Seinfeld lighting up a cigar.....
Is that really inappropriate? I didn't bother to click on to find out what else is inappropriate. I never bother with that nonsense on the bottom.
i just can't believe that Kramer lighting a cigar is considered Inappropriate!
He always smoked cigars! Next you'll tell me that we shouldn't watch Burns and Allen!
I refuse to give up George Burns! He played GOD!

George burns is a legend

[–] MissMargoChanning (6630) 8 years ago

I agree! Nothing he did was inappropriate!

Oh, it's worse than The Enquirer, Miss Margo. The folks at that paper get paid pretty good money. The click bait hacks get paid peanuts, and their idea of "of all time" means "as far back as I can remember," which is on the order of the past 10 years.

My memory extends farther. You mentioned a cigar. You mentioned a legendary comic. You want an inappropriate TV scene? Let's go back to 1950s US TV, when TV was live. Groucho Marx, who smoked cigars, hosted a quiz show titled, "You Bet Your Life." Although there were questions and monetary prizes, the show's raison d'etre was to let Groucho ad lib with contestants. One night, he was making small talk with a lady and asked her if she had any children. The woman smiled, and said, "Oh, yes, Groucho. I have 11 children." Marx replied, "Eleven children . . . ! Jesus, lady, I like my cigar, too, but I take it out of my mouth occasionally."

They took him off the air for a few weeks.

But keeping cigar in the mouth doesn't make someone pregnant, does it?

[–] R_Kane (15828) 8 years ago

It's what's known as a metaphor.

[–] actionkamen (23176) 8 years ago

Aah... make sense!

[–] MissMargoChanning (6630) 8 years ago

I am laughing so hard! I can believe he actually said that. Live television sure was fun! I suppose that it meant a whole lot of ulcers for a whole lot of people in the industry.
I have seen a number of You Bet Your Life episodes. I never caught that one! Glad he was only suspended.
i suppose that one would qualify for inappropriate, but only in the 50's. Today? Nobody would bat an eye.

[–] R_Kane (15828) 8 years ago

I agree, but so much of what made that scene work was the quickness of Groucho's wit. Johnny Carson had it. Among contemporary comics, it seems to me that only Chris Rock, Dennis Miller and perhaps Bill Mahr have it. Pretty much all the others today would "quip," "So, bitch, you like to fuck or what?"

[–] MissMargoChanning (6630) 8 years ago

Johnny Carson definitely had that wit! He could so easily come up with some of the greatest comebacks.
Today? There just isn't any style.....

[–] R_Kane (15828) 8 years ago

And Carson was so smooth. Not edgy, not quirky, not dark. His Wonder Bread middle- America style and charm concealed a laser wit. Hosting The Tonight Show, following after Steve Allen and Jack Parr, is as hard a job as is conceivable. Carson made it look easy. Here's another inappropriate TV scene that I KNOW the click bait hacks missed: One of Carson's guests was as actor named Ed Ames. Ed played a Native
American on a network cowboy show called The Virginian. As part of Ed's appearance on Tonight, the show's staff wheeled out a life-sized painted profile of a cowboy. Both Ames and Carson were given tomohawks. They were going to take turns with hurling their weapons at the target. Being the guest, Ames went first. He nailed the cowboy square in the groin. He then graciously turned to Carson and told him that it was
his turn. Johnny deferred and said, "I don't think I could hurt him any worse than that, Ed."

[–] MissMargoChanning (6630) 8 years ago

Oh my goodness! I was thinking about that show Ed Ames and the tomohawk. I just saw that on TV recently. That was so funny! Johnny's reaction was priceless!

BAHAHAHA!!!! 😂😂😂😂

That reminds me of some of the bloopers on The Newlywed Game.
The question was "what's the strangest place you've ever made whoopie" (their cutesy euphemism for sex).

they mean like, in an elevator, in the airplane bathroom, on top of the Eiffel tower, etc.

this one lady thought a few seconds, then says
"In the butt."

the host proceeds to lose his mind in convulsive laughter.

Then there was the time when Zsa Zsa Gabor was on the Johnny Carson show. She brought her cat who was sitting on her lap.
Zsa Zsa: Johnny would you like to pet my pussy?
Johnny Carson: Sure, but you'll have to move the cat.

It got you at least a bit curious, though, didn't it? Those images are just something to get you to click on the link, they might not have anything to do with the actual content of the article. But didn't the actor playing Kramer have a whole controversy around him with something racist he said? So if you remember that, maybe that leads you to think "Huh, maybe he did something inappropriate on Seinfeld as well. Might as well click to find out."

The other day I saw one about Jacob Tremblay's biggest life regret. The kid's 10... All these are just ridiculous, but you gotta fight for those clicks (more clicks, more ad money).

[–] MissMargoChanning (6630) 8 years ago

"But didn't the actor playing Kramer have a whole controversy around him with something racist he said? "

I never heard anything about that. Now YOU have me curious. LOL!
I agree that these things do get a person curious. i have seen them on other sites and I clicked a few times. They are usually stupid and haven't got much to do with the topic. I never bother anymore.
I wish this sort of thing wasn't on this site, but as you say, more clicks, more ad money.

[–] MinaVladimir (4086) 8 years ago

I'm not to sure, but I think he used the n-word at a comedy gig. So, that'll surely get you into hot water.

These articles are specifically designed to make you click as much as possible. From the title and the images, to the way the content is presented. They're made to sell ad space basically, not to inform. I've gone down that loop in the past as well, but I've learned my lesson.

[–] R_Kane (15828) 8 years ago

Amen, Mina. Those links are worthless.

Behold, bat-shit crazy....
To quench that curiosity.... 😉😊😉😊

Wow, he really went off his rocker, at least for the moment. I was curious about the controversy as well, but not enough to satisfy curiosity ;)

[–] croft_alice (12180) 8 years ago

Milla smokes a joint in " A perfect gateway"is that an inappropiate thing too?😉

[–] Stratego (31085) 8 years ago

Having clicked on some of those links in the past, that scene was probably not even featured in the article.

[–] R_Kane (15828) 8 years ago

Miss Margo, apropos of your enthusiasm for the immortal George Burns, I want to say that George was great, but I always thought that Gracie was the greater talent. It hurt me when I learned that she knew he cheated on her often.

[–] MissMargoChanning (6630) 8 years ago

Yes. Gracie was the greater talent. George was the first to say that in his book, Gracie, A Love Story. It's a very funny book. I have it and I highly recommend it. He also touched upon the cheating and how she handled that. Gracie had class and grace! In spite of what he had done, she loved him very much. They had a good life together and I have no doubt that she was his true love.

[–] R_Kane (15828) 8 years ago

You nailed it. She had class, grace and wit. Does a person need to have more?

Gracie Allen was 'way ahead of her time. That reminds me of the time when Tina Turner, another pioneering woman, was interviewed after receiving her first
Grammy. The interviewer asked, "Tina, it took you 10 years to get your first Grammy (for What's Love Got To Do With It?). How does that feel?" Tina replied, "It just took the world 10 years to catch up with me."

Legends endure.
