Movie and TV references to Enemas

In the mash there is an episode when Trapper mentions that if he doesn't get the truth from a young gi he is going to prescribe a 24 hour colonic.

another episode when hawkeye mentions that generals need a colonic and then go on a 10 mile hike

and another episode where they give Col Potters horse an enema

Monument to Enemas!

On another MASH episode, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcMj62DOgfM, at about 20 minutes and 40 seconds into the movie, Hawkeye sets up a monument in the garden, it is composed of several red rubber enema bags, what appear to be enema buckets, and white bed pans.

The name of the episode is "hang 'em high, Hawkeye," is in Season 10, Episode 04.

I'd save a screenshot of it if I knew how to post it. the hoseman1

Just this past Thursday morning, Kelly Ripa had several references to coffee enemas during a segment of her show devoted to "various other uses for coffee". She seemed to enjoy bringing the subject up in front of Ryan Secrest; I wonder if Kelly indulges in coffee enema play herself. Her body would certainly be a likely monument to their possible usage.........

Regarding celeb's other uses for coffee--Kelly, Ryan, and their guest Amy, bouncing off the walls:

My wife started watching a series called "Call the Midwife" recently. On the first episode, a matronly nurse who was teaching a new midwife visited a woman in advanced labor. The first thing done was mix a very strong white solution in a large pan with a wisk. It was so frothy, there was no question that it was an extremely strong soap solution. This solution was poured into a 1 quart can with a long rubber hose attached. It was held over the midwifes head and the elderly nurse commented - "high, hot and hell-of-alot". The patient clearly did not enjoy the procedure. The series is set in early 1960's England. Many other references to enemas, including glass nozzles, are mentioned throughout the following episodes.

and another episode where they give Col Potters horse an enema

I just saw this on TV. It is Season 5 episode 12 . I once had a lady tell me that her dad was watching this episode with her brother and the brother did not know what an enema was so the dad had to explain the procedure and then tell the brother "Your sister has had them from mom" She about died and had to run out of the room.

E 4 2: I once tried a soapy solution like the one in Call the Midwife and had to jump onto the toilet. For a woman about to give birth, it must be awful to have to jump onto a chamber pot (one sees the midwife trainee bringing a large potty down the stairs)..

It is possible the solution was exaggeratedly white for the purpose of better conveying to the viewer the soapiness and unpleasantness, even if it was not as bad in real life. On a similar note, I once saw a movie where some girl was submitted to a virginity exam, and a speculum was shown, whereas in reality one would not use a speculum to check for the presence of the hymen (and the real-life testimonies that inspired the movie mention no such instrument). The speculum however is a symbol of the embarrassment and unpleasantness of a gynecological examination and thus conveys the idea to the viewer.

In these mediums, one has to suggest unsavory episodes (soapy enemas, genital exams, pooping the enema out...) in a way that is not too explicit... On a similar note, in The Handmaid's Tale TV series a clitoridectomy is done, but one only sees a woman with bandages on her crotch and the explanation that she will not longer feel an urge to commit lesbian acts, but will still be able to have children.

Moppy: How old was the sister?

I was just recently watching South Park and, it was either Cheech or Chong, who recommend that Kyle should have a brain enema as a holistic remedy. Fortunately, I was by myself so I didn’t have to have an awkward moment in front of anyone. Now, this episode of South Park took me back to the Cheech and Chong movie where one of them gets a coupon for a free massage or enema. I happened to be watching that movie when I was younger with a huge group of my friends. I heard enema and almost died. I now avoid Cheech and Chong movies altogether.

Moppy: How old was the sister?

12 or so...

Allie80, I never did see the movie where Cheech and Chong may have received such a coupon. I wasn't a Cheech and Chong fan until I happened to play a couple of holes of golf with Cheech Marin. What a great guy and entirely different from the personna of that timeframe.

I posted this in another thread. I was in a hotel getting ready for an appointment. I had Regis Philbin and Kathie Lee Gifford show on and I heard Regis say. "I haven't had an enema in years." I missed what to what the inference was.

Kathy Lee Gifford responded. "You don't know what you are missing." Needless to say, the audience laughed. She then added mischievously. "You just grin and bear it!" The inference was spelled Bare instead of Bear. LOL!

Doc Martin of the BBC series has a pharmacist that, they have subtly suggested is a Kilsmo and wants the Doc in her filling room. She keeps a collection of gallon bags of no less than 4 colors. At first she has a store full of them properly pined on her wall for sale, and then as the series progresses, you have to really watch for them. At final count, there was only a green one left, for sale.

The BBC series "The Call for The Midwife" often gives their people a good washing out. They regularly talk about their enema skills. In one story, an elderly one wants to give a young new brave nurse, a nice comforting reward as an apology for having been rough around the edges toward her. The poor unsuspecting servant, realizing what is being offered, stares into the camera like, "ahh, What have i just gotten myself into." The others look at her and nod like, "mmm, Your turn!"

In the new Netflix series Mindhunter (season one, episode three at approximately 40:03 in) the young FBI profiler is discussing things to be removed from the FBI sexual deviancy list with the matriarch over the classifications lists. She is calling out names and terms that are in question to be removed or not.

She says. "Klismaphilia!"

The young male agent responds. "Klisma what?"

She looks up at him and says, "Enemas! Either giving or having!"

He says, "That can stay."

The time period setting for this show would be 1977 at this point.

This may already be here but a search didn't find it. There is an episode on TLC's "My Strange Addiction" on a couple obsessed with daily coffee enemas. Part of the episode is on YouTube... https://youtu.be/bznDjbQLzMo

I saw that episode a few years ago, and didn't think they took very much of the coffee. It was great to actually see something like that on TV.

Can anyone give me the episodes when Enemas are given in Call the Midwife?

Especially the one given to the new nurse

In the 1963 movie--"Spencer's Mountain",there's a 3 second glimpse of a red 1950's 2qt enemabag hanging upside down on the inside of the bathroom door.(About +/- 12 minutes before the movie ends.)

This show has another enema episode! There is an episode of this show where a girl who has issues with cleanliness after she goes to the bathroom. This girl takes a shower and gives herself enemas in the shower after every time that she goes to the bathroom. She uses a blue enema bulb with a white standard nozzle and the nozzle is upside down, she has the attachment end as the insertion end. I of course noticed that right away and wondered how 1) she was able to insert it that way and 2) how it even stayed attached to the the bulb like that. This was one of those times where I was watching it unknowingly with someone and just about died right there. There was this one scene where she was getting ready for one of these showers and is cradling this enema bulb and then you see her get into the shower with it ??⚰️

1994 movie called The Road to Wellville. Matthew Broderick gets an enema from “Nurse Graves”. Very enticing scene.

I passed by a TV yesterday and heard a commentator say the following: "If the US needed an enema, Los Angeles used to be where they would stick the nozzle, but now that has officially been moved to Chicago". No idea the network or context, but it caught my attention and made me laugh.

3rd Rock From the Sun is on nightly around here. Last night, Nina was being queried by Dick about his scheduling. He asked her if she had scheduled his colonic. Her reply was that she didn't schedule enemas among other things.

I've seen this clip a few times, but never heard of a paraffin enema before this. Is this a real thing or just invented for this film? It sounds like a messy "solution" of clumps of wax floating in water, or does paraffin liquefy in water? Or in other words, WHAT?

Don’t know. It was a movie. Google parrifin enemas. Like an oil enema. . Messy!

Ha ha ... but I bet Nina, and just about everyone else at the university, would just love to give Dr. Solomon a huge enema ...

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.

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

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.

That was funny.
