Enemas on Prime Time TV & in the movies?

Does anyone here watch The Big Bang Theory sitcom on CBS? The last episode had a couple of mentions of Enemas. Sheldon, one of the geeky main characters gets the flu. The next door neighbor, Penny, is tricked into caring for him.

Episode 11.

What other prime time shows or mainstream movies have you seen that used or mentioned enemas in the storyline? I remember one, but cannot think of the title! The Road to Welleville doesn't count! 😜 😁

There is mention of an enema in the movies "Pinky" with Ethel Barrymore and the "Bridge of Tokyo RI" with William Holden.

Gyro...there is a similar thread on this forum titled, 'enemas in the movies'. It has 47 replies thus far and will give you some great leads to mainstream movies and TV screen productions where the enema is seen, discussed or eluded to. Check it out.

Greys anatomy had a great enema scene two years ago.

Bones tonight, 10 September. A guy they hire to stalk a suspect is getting an enema the following Saturday. He and Seeley Boothe refer to them seeral times.

About 3+ years ago in CSI an overweight adult baby was given several fleet enemas by voluptuous starlet Susan Ward. I believe the episode was called “King Baby”.

A 29-year-old female contestant on "Big Brother" complained of being constipated after a week of being in the house and the discomfort caused her to request an enema from the producers. It was never revealed whether she got a Fleet enema or a regular bag.

There are a lot of things shown on TV these days that would not have even been MENTIONED a few years ago, so maybe in the near future? We can hope anyway!

Speaking of CSI,

There was an episode about an anorexic model that was found with rats eating her corpse. When they checked her apartment, they found boxes of Fleets and Grissom makes a comment to Marg Helgenberger about women and their ways, or something, and she replies, "Please don't generalize."

Enemas got a mention a few years ago on an episode of the game show "Win Ben Stein's Money". I don't remember the exact context but it was brought up jokingly at one point by Nancy Pimentel, the very pretty co-host who replaced Jimmy Kimmel. And then during the final round where one contestant went head-to-head with Ben, an enema bag with hose attached was brought on-stage and Nancy played around with it. She said something to the effect that they couldn't do the enema right then because they didn't have any soap available. The way she said that and the way she was looking at the bag made me believe that she had definitely had some experience with enemas.

Many years ago there was a TV show called MASH. It was about a mobile army hospital. For one or two seasons there must have been a group of writers that were into enemas because the word enema was used in many of the shows. One time Trapper John threaten a soldier with a 24 hour enema, Hawkeye told the nurses to give a patient ,who was suffering from hypothermia, a series of enemas to warm up his body core. Another time a general suggested that Frank Burns be given a high colonic and sent on a ten mile march. The best one was when they gave a horse an enema using a water tower and a garden hose.

Unfortunately the reruns today do not have the word enema in any of them.

Just a couple of weeks ago on Family Fued. The word enema came up on a question survey.

Actually, they do use the word enema a great deal and elude to enemas many, many times. There is always several bags hanging in the swamp. My personal opinion is that it was an Alan Alda thing and he had a thing for enemas.

Mash was one of my favorite shows and the enema bag was hanging up in the "swamp" a lot. I think you're right, Alan Alda was behind it. ( excuse the pun)

I was watching "Dracula, Dead and Loving It" today where Van Helsing (Harvey Corman) says to the sanitarium attendant after Rensfield (Peter McNichol) continues to eat insects, "Put him in a strait jacket and give him an enema! No wait, give him the enema first, then put him in a strait jacket." Funny stuff.

Was wondering if anyone caught the E reference in a new program last night? Was on the show "Fast Forward" Two guys talking; one says "why haven't you called her?" Other guy "I have this thing about nurses" First guy "she's not going to give you an enema, it's a date". Second guy "maybe I'm into that kind of thing" I might have the wording off a little but was surprised to hear this at 8pm.

In a classic episode of "All in the Family", Edith asks Archie if he wants an enema after he thinks he has eaten tainted canned food (I believe there was another episode when he was in the hospital and saw the bill, and said something like "for god's sake, they only used tap water. For that price that should have pumped me full of bourbon!". On "Seinfeld", Kramer decides he needs the "dreaded apparatus" after he hasn't been able to go in a long time. There is even a scene of him buying the equipment, and the ever so familiar white rubber hose is hanging out of the box. And in "The Drew Carey Show", Drew was making a joke and said "it was like watching a documentary about how to give a horse an enema", or something to that effect. They were also mentioned on "Grey's Anatomy" a year or two ago. There are others, but I can't recall them right now...

I remember an episode of "Married: With Children" where (I think it might have been in a dream scene) Al was laying on the couch and a large female nurse was about to give him an enema. Al had that look of distress on his face - and the nurse held up a "pumpkin" type enema bag and the nozzle!

In the U.k a few years ago there was a weekly program called Tarrant on T.V where the host Chris Tarrant showed funny clips on T.V, mainly adverts. But one clip he showed was what I remember as a Swedish game show where contestants are put through some kind of endurance test. To my surprise these two men were given an enema in front of an audience (a tube held by some dolly bird nurse was seen going into a slit through the seat of the contestants trousers as he lay down)Then he had to hold it as long as possible. The winner was the one who could hold it the longest!

There was a more disgusted reaction from the Chris Tarrant audience than the actual game show audience. I have not heard anything about it since and wonder if anyone had seen it or knows about it as it would be something I believe people would mention.

I know it was somewhere in Scandinavia, but do not know the title.

All the best DR. KRANK

Years ago I saw a cable show called "Most Outrageous TV Shows," or similar, and the Swedish enema scene was included. The "patients" were given bag enemas on their left side by cute "nurses" and none "lost it" on stage.

On Friday Jay Leno mentioned enemas in his monologue. It was later written up pretty much as I remember it as:

"I hadn't heard about this, but it was in the paper today-- Australian health officials are warning people around the world, be on the lookout for unlicensed doctors prescribing bad coffee enemas... they use coffee in enemas... You thought health care was expensive before, wait'll Starbucks is involved-- wha-- wha-- through the roof; please..."

[audience applauds

I forgot...it was also mentioned once on "Home Improvement"...Tim was in the hospital because he had injured his arm once again, and had to have surgery. The doctor came in, snapped a glove, and said 'ready for your enema?'. Tim tried to talk his way out by saying something like 'but my injury is way up here, is that really necessary?' Then the doctor says 'not really, but I get an award if I can give the most enemas in a day'. It was all a joke, of course, he was making a reference to the contest Tim was in with Bob Vila at the time, for the most consecutive episodes in a home improvement series.

I also remember references in "Scrubs" as well.

It happened last night on the Jay Leno Show, during his initial "stand-up". He talked about some Dr. being brought up on "bad coffee enemas". --his joke was, "aren't all enemas bad, or am I missing something".

Re Leno--

I heard Leno and found the text later on the net. See reply 21.

I also caught the enema reference in "FlashForward". The guy actually said, "How do you know that's not my thing?" I also found it odd that the second episode also had two references to bowel-related things. In one scene an FBI agent joked that the district supervisor (or whoever she was) was in the chief's office giving him a colonoscopy, meaning that she was prying into the department's business. And in another scene the FBI chief said that during the worldwide blackout "I was having a bowel movement". He was then shown on the toilet.

So perhaps the scripters of the show have some kind of enema/scat fetish?

Of course, we all know the famous (or infamous) line of dialog uttered by Jack Nicholson (as The Joker) in Tim Burton's 1988 big-screen rendering of "Batman." Said The Joker in referrence to Gotham City : "This town needs an enema!"

There is a show on tv called 1000 ways to die or something like that.

Anyway they showed the alcoholics whose wife who gave him a booze enema which later killed him. They showed the bag being held and the guy bending over. It was a sad true story.

Soapy water - good

Booze - bad

On the subject of mainstream movies, has anyone seen films with "simulated" anal sex? There are 2 that springs to mind. The first is Body of evidence where Maddonna is lying on the floor and her lover turns her over and does her from behind. It is obvious from her facial expressions that she is getting an anal. The second is I spit on your grave where the victimised girl is getting buggered over a large rock.

There must be many more but can' think of any as yet.

On desperate housewives, gabby tells Carlos that if he gave her a minute she was just one colonic away from being her own self. I also caught it again on the rerun this summer.

Yesterday a new GSN game show called "Baggage" had an enema mention. The show involves a dater choosing between three contestants after hearing about their "baggage" -- dealbreakers in their lives that might be unpleasant. The facts are revealed in printed cards in suitcases. In the second round, three facts are revealed without the dater knowing to whom they belong and the dater must say which is the biggest dealbreaker with that person going home. One suitcase was revealed as "I GIVE MYSELF REGULAR ENEMAS." Crazily, the guy said this was the biggest dealbreaker (at least it shows she's comfortable with her body and with anal insertion). When the women were matched up with their baggage, the enema enthusiast was revealed to be an average-cute blonde in her early 30s who said she does them for health reasons and likes to get herself cleaned out.
