Movie and TV references to Enemas

New show on Netflix called Ratched, based on Nurse Ratched from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. First episode discusses the doctor recommending daily colonics group therapy and soft Peter.

I just binged this last night. Good show. I always thought the name was Ratchett and that's how it sounds to me when they say it.

In case I missed it, the TV series M*A*S*H mentioned enemas several times, including giving one to the colonels (Potter) horse.

That was funny.

I believe that was season 13 episode 4

And @bbw4doc, don't forget the red bag hanging from the post in Hawkeye & B.J. Hunnicut's tent.

Not mentioned is the movie SWEET SWEETBACK’S BADASSSSS SONG. It contains a scene in a brothel’s toilet. Clearly visible is a Sojourn-style douche bag hanging from a shower curtain rod.

The best was the coffee enema, followed by the question, "Milk and sugar with that?"

In early MASH the swamp had gin in an enema hanging from the post in the middle of the tent.I particularly remember Hawkeye pouring out ofA nozzle with a shut of straight to Martini glass

I need to search and watch the original “Right Stuff”. I seem to recall some heavy enema scenes with the wannabe astronauts were carting around their rubber bags on an IV pole and had balloon style nozzles (presumably).

SirKinky,

i watched most all of MASH and remember their hanging enema bag in the Swamp. Did they ever have an episode where they actually mentioned doing a coffee enema?

Hal,

I only saw The Right Stuff once, but as I recall, they did have a scene in which several astronaut candidates were given enemas of unknown volume then made to walk around holding them while carrying their bags, I think to get to the bathroom which might have been on a different floor. I guess they managed but didn't look happy about it! No idea what the enemas were given for. Maybe just to see how tough the astronauts were?

I remember getting a laugh over the enema scene in "The Right Stuff." I don't remember if it was explained in the movie, but I assumed they were given a barium enema and the radiology department was on another floor, therefore the trip in the elevator? Did anybody else remember it that way? I have no idea why they were not given the enema in the same department. All for effect in the movies, I guess.

Does it seem to you that if a man is getting an enema in the movies, it is comical, but if a woman is getting the enema it is a serious scene? Maybe it just seems like that to me.

I remember watching that movie with my parents and siblings at our house when I was a kid. I remember the scene where the the guy was walking down a hallway and into an elevator with a hose coming out of his ass and an bag hanging on an IV pole? I was like OMFG and literally wanted to die😵⚰️ I had no way to escape without being completely obvious. I’ve never watched that movie again and avoid it at all costs if I see it on the cable guide.

So I guess you were afraid you might have gotten rightly stuffed? Sounds like an enema phobia to me. I might have something for that!

Allie,

Hi. Just clue me in here. Your profile says you're fond of enemas and other forms of anal play also which I am as well. You said

"..........I was like OMFG and literally wanted to die😵⚰️ I had no way to escape without being completely obvious."

What caused this reaction? Just an unexpected scene of adult nearly naked men with enema hoses hanging out which struck you as funny (Ha, ha amusing)? What were you trying to escape - maybe other family in the room who would think you liked enemas for yourself? I love enemas so just curious here about what you were thinking. Thanks,

Eric

I read the book The Right Stuff once, but it seems like it was, indeed, a barium enema as part of the radiological exams given to the Mercury Seven. However, the humor of it was because some of the astronauts were making fun Hispanics by imitating the character Jose Jiménez (played by Bill Dana). But part of the "punishment" was the long walk and ride up the elevator.

See the following Wikipedia reference:

In the 1983 film The Right Stuff, Alan Shepard (played by Scott Glenn) is a fan of the character and uses the catchphrase in radio talk while piloting his airplane in for a carrier landing. Later he is warned by a very large, rather intimidating Hispanic medical aide (played by Anthony Muñoz) that the way he uses it is offending people, and he stops. Footage of the character's appearance as an astronaut on The Ed Sullivan Show was also seen in the film.

@Allie80 You cracked me up! LMAO!!!!

Sorry if this has already been mentioned. I can't read 'em all!

Dirty Harry. The second one, I think. Old Harry was lookin' for someone in a seedy part of town. Went into a dark theatre, and there on the screen was a guy on a bed with an old nurse about to plug him in. The sound effects in the theatre were disturbing.

Ha! I bet you would! 😁

I'll add this to my list of things not to watch.

This one requires a bit of backstory... the actresses Riki Lindhome (HOT!), and Kate Migucci (sexy-ugly) have an alter-ego filthy comedy song duo "Garfunkel & Oates" (think Weird Al meets Lenny Bruce). They had an eponymous short-lived TV show on IFC. In the second episode "Rule 34" they meet two porn actresses who do a porn version of their show. Riki and Kate go to the adult video store to check out the porn version of themselves. When they checkout, there's a very obvious red enema bulb sitting right in the middle of the counter. It's really kind of weird because it's just sitting there, not in a package or anything and no one makes any mention of it at all. Almost like one of the prop guys was trying to mess with the cast or something. I found it especially "interesting" because Garfunkel & Oats have a song entitled "The Loophole" (the video is on YouTube) about good Christian girls who engage in anal sex to preserve their virginity. The song refrain is "Fuck me in the ass 'cause I love Jesus." The IFC show is available on Amazon Prime.

Regarding Cheryl 7:7 post about the right stuff, I read the book. It was at the old Lovelace clinic in New Mexico. It was described as being very primitive. This explains why the bathrooms were on a different floor. And yes it was barium.

Yesterday (11/30/20), my wife had Ari Melber's Show on MSNBC (The Beat) on the downstairs TV while she was cooking dinner. I came downstairs when he was doing a segment on the 1918 flu pandemic and some of the things that were learned during that pandemic (had some video from a PBS broadcast about the pandemic in 1918 ) and he veered off to "home remedies" that were used/recommended during that pandemic.

Although he didn't say the word enemas, it was the second bullet item on the list. He did mention the bloodletting, tree bark, mercury, and whiskey, but not enemas. I just had to laugh that here on a cable news channel, they had the word enemas on the word graphic slide, but he/they wouldn't verbally say the word from the list that was on the screen.

Here's a screen capture of the slide:

..........and none of those "therapies" (Bloodletting, enemas, tree bark, Mercury, whiskey), alone or together should have had any beneficial effect on the influenza virus disease short of some unknown nearly miraculous anti-viral compound in the tree bark. In sufficient dosages, the bloodletting and Mercury could easily have increased the probability of severe disease and/or death. Granted that at least for enema lovers, the enemas might have made some of them at least feel a little better overall without specific effect on the virus. I hope in a hundred years or so when our descendants look back at Covid-19 they won't be able to comment on how clueless and primitive was our medical care. Here's to medical research and better and better vaccines and anti-viral drugs.

Willow bark contains salicin, which is a natural product that inspired the creation of aspirin, so there might have been some benefit. The 1918 pandemic jump-started the use of aspirin. But it's also possible that aspirin overdoses made the pandemic worse.
