Adam Scott and Buick joke

First, I liked this movie a lot more than I expected to. Rob Cordry and Craig Robinson are fantastic. It's funny and a good, goofy hard-R comedy.

It's great to see Adam Scott in a more absurd comedy. I've seen most of his movies and tv work and love his podcasts so, even though the part left something to be desired, he crushes it in this movie. But I kind of feel like I like it more because I'm familiar with his comedy work.

Scott is our main ambassador to future culture which seems sexually ambiguous, relentlessly cheerful and in possession of a certain dark streak. It really made me look for some kind of millennial satire. So I probably thought a little too hard about what this future was like and maybe that's the idea.

The Buick joke. There's a scene with a game show where someone has to do anything the audience tells them. I don't want to ruin the joke but Robinson and Scott basically have sex against their will on TV. It's like an extreme reality show. It becomes basically a really weird rape joke about the two men.

When the movie came back to it I thought it was really funny if a bit shocking. But then Scott said "you're not the one who got a Buick put in his butt". To which, an amused Robinson sees that as a compliment and says he has has a Buick dick. Scotts reaction, "Yeah, you do!". I could be wrong but I think they high five?

So that's two bros forced into that scenario, and the way they act. They're not high fiving his rape, or even his Buick dick. They celebrate the shared experience. It's not a big deal. After the first movie did similar jokes this one goes through with it and acts like it's no big deal. Don't get me wrong but does that seem actually kind of tolerant?
