I think the movie could have been more popular without the PENIS scene and references.
shareI think the PENIS scene was funny. It definitely ADDED a lot of over-the top (in a GOOD way) humor to the FILM.

Yes, we frequently see boobs in movies, but not an actual vagina, the female reproductive's organs. I'm not talking about the bush either, you can't see the slit anyway with all the pubes in the way, it'd be like if a guy tucks his dick between his legs and all you see are the pubes...
>> mfw people think that seeing a man's penis is equivalent to seeing a woman's breasts

Boy, the sheer size of this is just amazing! And it just keeps growing!
I am sure Jason Segel will be delighted by the perseverance and performance of this thread!
Sometimes the littlest things seem to get people really excited.
What a long, fertile and passionate discussion!
This thread just seems to grow longer and mightier, it must be one of the strongest and most outstanding I have seen in a long time.
I hope the outcome will be very satisfying for everyone involved.

Because penis is not always intentional.
We're hiding like elephants when they're happy.
It's never necessary - We won't even take our kids to see him in the Muppets new film because he sunk so low.
His supporters now may think he is pushing the edge and being cool but over time his box office will slip away as he is found out for lack of talent and will just be a forgotten name ten years from now.
The actors who think they are cool flashing their penises now will of course get their immediate knee jerk reaction support from the noisy minority and the liberal media machine, but sooner or later only real talent gives the longevity of career to survive in a cut throat business.
When men get their cocks out it offends so many people and just sends the message out to so many that anyone who sinks this low is plain desperate and just has not got what it takes to last the distance. This is not just my view - check out Michael Caine on the subject and I am sure a lot of other very talented people who have gone the distance feel the same way, but just keep their head down below the parapet for fear of being labelled out of touch or worse.
Utter Rubbish of course - Comedians for ever and day have made people wet themselves in fits of laughter without having to parade around naked and any comedian that has to sink that low for gags should be ashamed of himself. Complete and utter FAIL.
Still he is in good (bad) company now that Owen Wilson has rushed to joined this merry band of deluded cool dudes with his pathetic efforts in Hall Pass - Just desperate or what? This guy had so much going for him and almost universal appeal and yet he is so full of himself or just misguided trying to match other cool comedians, that he signs up to offend 80%+ of his paying audience. He is a train crash waiting to happen(again). May not be this year or even the next five - but it's coming as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow. Shame - he had a lot going for him, but hopefully others can learn from his mistakes. There is always plenty of new guys round the corner to take their place, and I will be now paying to see them rather than our two deluded friends. I imagine a good few million others will as well.

I absolutely agree with you, no one could say it better, you got the point..
and I will be now paying to see them rather than our two deluded friends. I imagine a good few million others will as well.
But there is a key difference between what Segel's state of mind was when it happened to him and that of his movie character, who is too despondent to even pull on a pair of jeans as he gets the news. "It's like my sickness," Segel says, "but the whole time I'm trying to be present, and all I'm thinking is, 'This is the funniest thing that has ever happened! Let her leave so I can write this down immediately!' "

It amazes me how much some nudity especially a penis can stir things up in the U.S. Grow up man, it's a dick. If you're human there's a 50/50 chance you have one. My question would be was this film necessary? It wasn't very funny and if I want to l see beautiful scenery I'll re-watch Lost and have something to at leat think about while I enjoy Hawaii.
shareIt actually surprised me for a moment. I'm not actually used to movies going full-frontal on men.
It doesn't really bother me though, even if I'm a heterosexual man. I mean, you see women's boobs quite regularly in movies and all so I just don't see what's the problem with showing a guy's dick. Hell, he's definitely bigger than me but I'm comfortable enough with my sexuality so that it doesn't bother me at all.
The full frontal nudity was too distracting. I kept trying to figure out what was going on, so I couldn't get whatever the scene was trying to do / say.

To "fraank79:" (from 29 Oct 2009):
Showing a human penis in itself is not necessarily sexual except in pornogrophy when the human penis is always 'boned' and ready. That was not the case in the penis scene(s) in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall." Jason Segal was simply nude in a couple of scenes and those scenes were a part of the story. The scenes did not involve any kind of sexual relations, activity or arousal.

Men are just as good looking naked as women are unless one wants to see her or him only in a sexual way all the time. Life means more than all that.
John Martin, 52, Texas
Dicks are a staple of Judd Apatow movies. Was it 'superbad', with what seemed like 5 minutes of grotesque penis drawings? What is wrong with him?
That said, here, it was part of the joke. It didn't make me squirm. Maybe because of Jason's humor...
