Top 20 Raunchiest Scenes in R-Rated Comedies

#20: Dinner Scene

“Wedding Crashers” (2005)


And you thought your family had problems. This beloved 2005 flick centers around two buddies, played by Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson, who’ve perfected the art of meeting women at weddings. But when they meet the wealthy Cleary family, they learn that their “crashing” days will never be the same. From the potty-mouthed grandma to the volatile brother to a queasy Bradley Cooper and unhinged Isla Fisher, this has to rank among the most uncomfortable dinner scenes ever featured on screen. And the best part? This is just a sample of the movie’s degeneracy. You ain’t seen nothing yet!

#19: Dirty Fozzy

“Ted” (2012)


The titular stuffed bear in this film may look cuddly on the outside, but on the inside, he’s not exactly warm and fuzzy. Take, for instance, the part where he tries to get the attention of a pretty new cashier at work. He starts with a cute wave and blows a kiss. But soon, he takes it to the next level…leaving Tami-Lynn a little put off. If you’ve never seen the “Ted” films, they’re worth checking out (provided you’re not among the faint of heart). Just don’t blame us if you never look at your teddy bear the same way again.

#18: Garf Didn't Shave

“Neighbors” (2014)


This 2014 flick starring Seth Rogen and Zac Efron has its share of crazy moments, but perhaps none so painful to watch as this one. The story follows an ongoing battle between married couple Mac and Kelly and the wild college boys who live next door. Amidst their fighting, fraternity president Teddy comes up with a brilliant, if unconventional, plot to earn money and save the house. But trouble arises when Garf realizes he was supposed to have shaved before the molding process began. The outcome? Just about as harrowing as you can imagine…if not more so.

#17: The Panty Raid

“Revenge of the Nerds” (1984)


The title of this ‘80s classic is pretty self-explanatory: some less popular college students decide to take action against the “cool” kids. But it goes to more shocking places than you may expect. At one point, the nerds break into the Pi Delta Pi sorority house for a so-called “panty raid,” and an uproarious chase scene ensues. While it is, of course, played for laughs, this scene hasn’t exactly aged well, reflecting how comedy’s boundaries have shifted over the years. Then again, the film was panned upon its release for its sophomoric humor, so it’s no surprise that much of it didn’t stand the test of time.

#16: Speaker Trouble

“Booksmart” (2019)

Olivia Wilde’s directorial debut, this modern coming-of-age comedy was widely praised for its sharp writing and relatable characters. Both are on full display in this optimally uncomfortable sequence. Best friends Molly and Amy, determined to make up for lost time before graduation, find themselves hitching a ride with their school principal, played by Jason Sudeikis. After deciding for some reason that now is the perfect time to watch their first adult video, the girls are horrified when Mr. Brown accidentally blasts the audio through the car’s speakers. The tension in the car after it’s over is simply priceless.

#15: Jason Segel Shows All

“Forgetting Sarah Marshall” (2008)
Getting dumped is bad enough – but getting dumped while naked? Ouch. Peter, played by Jason Segel, is in nothing but a towel when his girlfriend, played by Kristen Bell, arrives with devastating news: she’s breaking up with him. Standing there, emotionally (and physically) exposed, Peter refuses to put on clothes, going by the logic that doing so will somehow make the split official. Segel, who also wrote the script, revealed that the “naked breakup” was based on a real-life experience – one so memorably awful and hilarious that he wrote it down immediately, intending to use it in his works.

#14: Period

“Superbad” (2007)


People adore this 2007 gem, but it’s hard to forget a certain part that turned our stomachs a bit. While partying with some older kids, things get steamy between Seth (Jonah Hill) and a woman on the dance floor. The encounter leaves him feeling on top of the world – until he’s alerted to a mysterious stain she’s left on his pants. Not only is Seth horrified, but his fellow partygoers go out of their way to make the situation as humiliating as possible for the poor guy. As mortifying as it is entertaining, this scene is a prime example of “Superbad’s” crude humor.

#13: The Music Video

“Step Brothers” (2008)


What do you get when you pair Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly? Pure, over-the-top absurdity. “Step Brothers” is packed with wacky moments, from the infamous “drum set” fight (xref) to the brothers’ disastrous music video. In this scene, Dale and Brennan pitch their new production company to their family with a rap number that’s as profane as it is ridiculous – filmed on Dale’s father’s boat, no less. Their antics quite literally take a turn for the worse when the yacht crashes. Like the rest of the film, the video is a chaotic blend of juvenile humor and total mayhem.

#12: “It’s True!”

“Blazing Saddles” (1974)


When comedy legends Mel Brooks and Madeline Kahn are involved, you know you’re in for some decidedly not-so-family-friendly hilarity. “Blazing Saddles” is considered one of Brooks’ best, featuring clever and monumentally offensive laughs that continue to delight today. At one pivotal moment, Lili Von Shtupp tries to seduce protagonist Bart, played by Cleavon Little. But Bart turns the tables, winning Lili over with, er, charms of his own. In just one night, Lili finds herself head over heels for the sheriff, doting on him and singing his praises. All in all, the scene is classic Brooks.

#11: Pool Fantasy

“Fast Times at Ridgemont High” (1982)


Some movie moments are so iconic that they define growing up during a given time period. For many ‘80s kids, the “red bikini scene” is a prime example. Here, Brad daydreams about his younger sister’s friend, Linda, while she lounges by the pool. The fantasy escalates as Linda emerges from the water in slow motion and walks toward Brad. And then it comes to an abrupt, humiliating end when Brad is snapped out of it. Is this scene sweet and innocent, or awkward and cringeworthy? Maybe a bit of both – but it’s all part of the appeal.

#10: The End Credits

“The Hangover” (2009)
Just when you thought we had seen the full extent of the Wolfpack’s depravity, director Todd Phillips saved the raunchiest for last. Discovering a digital camera, the Wolfpack revisits their notorious night out, filling in several holes. Although the story is chronicled through still images, that doesn’t make the removal of Stu’s tooth, the bombardment of strippers, or the presence of Carrot Top any less jaw-dropping. One might assume that this was all planned out and staged. According to Phillips, though, the photos were spontaneous. This includes the mouthful Alan receives in an elevator. Zach Galifianakis offered Phillips’ assistant $1,000 to have this removed from the movie. Phillips kept it in despite Galifianakis’ trepidation, but whatever happens in the credits, stays in the credits.

#9: Baby Ruth

“Caddyshack” (1980)
If you didn’t notice the resemblance between a Baby Ruth and human excrement before, this classic comedy forever changed your perception. When the unfortunately-designed candy bar makes its way into a pool, swimmers react as if Jaws were in the water. The music even mimics John Williams’ score. It’s not what the characters think, but that only makes it slightly less disgusting. Bill Murray’s Carl finds that it was a false alarm. Considering that the chocolate treat was soaking in a pool of people and chlorine, though, chowing down isn’t the most sanitary choice. In real life, this scene might’ve played out differently since Baby Ruths apparently don’t float. It’s still a surefire way to gross out people, especially world-class snobs like the Smails.

#8: Going Streaking

“Old School” (2003)
“Old School” marked Will Ferrell’s first major movie after leaving “SNL.” As Frank The Tank, Ferrell established that he was willing to do just about anything for a laugh. Frank’s drinking at a frat party escalates quickly. After several chugs, Frank finds himself wearing nothing but his body hair, inviting everyone to join him in a late-night streak. Nobody takes Frank up on this offer, although he doesn’t realize this until his wife and her friends stumble upon him. While Ferrell had something covering his front for at least part of the shoot, no butt doubles were used as he ran down an actual Pasadena street, much to the confusion of onlookers. Ferrell also drank between takes, having to shoot the scene over 100 times.

#7: Where’s the Cream Filling?

“National Lampoon’s Van Wilder” (2002)
Never again will you eat a Hostess or Little Debbie product without a level of suspicion. In a prank war, Van devises a plan that feels fitting for somebody named Richard Bag. Team Wilder delivers a basket of fresh cream puffs to Delta Iota Kappa, much to the delight of Richard and his frat brothers. It isn’t until the guys have creamy goo running down their faces that they see the photographic evidence of how these pastries were made. What’s the only thing more revolting that stimulated essence from a dog? Seeing it turned to vomit. We’d say that this scene is gross, but considering that Richard is such a “Richard bag,” seeing his comeuppance is as satisfying as a Twinkie out of the microwave.

#6: Locker Room

“Porky’s” (1981)
Depending on who you ask, “Porky’s” is either one of the 80s’ funniest or most problematic comedies. However you interpret it, this scene is beyond raunchy - and you can’t even shower it off afterward. We all remember the film for its locker room set piece. In reality, the men and women shot this scene separately. In the context of the film, though, the guys see everything and so do we. When the showering gals catch wind of this, some find it humorous. Well, Coach Balbricker isn’t laughing, playing a game of Stretch Armstrong with Tommy’s member. If you think that’s too much, the filmmakers shot an extended take where a stunt double exposed all through the peephole, but this would’ve resulted in an X rating.

#5: Glued

“American Pie 2” (2001)
Getting caught inside a warm apple pie is embarrassing, but Jim has found himself in stickier situations. After a botched attempt to fix a broken lamp, Jim accidentally mixes up his lubricant with a container of super glue. You might think that the worst has happened, but matters only snowball from there as Jim glues his other hand to a dirty VHS tape. Fun fact, apparently paint thinner can come in handy under these most unorthodox circumstances. Nail polish remover could also do the work, although you’re probably better off going to the ER, as humiliating as that sounds. Jim ultimately has no choice when the cops catch him on the roof and he has to show both of his hands. At least Jim’s friends are supportive.

#4: Lava

“Bridesmaids” (2011)
The original script for “Bridesmaids” always had a scene set in a bridal shop, but it wasn’t nearly as raunchy. Initially, Annie and Helen would’ve butted heads over an expensive dress. To intensify their rivalry, the filmmakers decided that Annie should take the ladies to a cheap restaurant before going to the shop. Other than Helen, who just had salad, everyone gets food poisoning at the worst possible place while wearing the most glamorous outfits. Annie refuses to let Helen win, acting as if everything’s fine. Yet, it’s hard to overlook the evidence. Exhibit A) Vomit, which was made from oatmeal, yogurt, and carrot juice. Exhibit B) Megan’s lava in the sink. Exhibit C) A bride in the middle of the road, losing all control.

#3: Condom Trouble

“The 40-Year-Old Virgin” (2005)
As the title implies, Andy spends much of this movie attempting to lose his virginity. It appears everything has fallen into place when Trish takes Andy back to her place. Alas, Andy neglected to learn how to put on a condom. Andy turns a Magnum into a Muppet and inflates another rubber like a balloon. Even after taking several condoms out for a test drive, Andy isn’t getting the hang of it. Before Trish can see how inexperienced Andy is, her teenage daughter walks in on the scene. Nothing has happened yet, although the pile of discarded condoms paints a different narrative. Andy takes his leave, but not without raising a question: how did he get a condom on his foot? Also, why?

#2: Hair Gel

“There’s Something About Mary” (1998)
Even gross-out humor depends on timing. Rather than immediately cut to an image of Ben Stiller’s frank and beans, his accident is described in graphic detail before we’re finally treated to a glimpse. Similarly, this scene initially relies more on suggestion with much of the debauchery occurring off-screen. After Stiller’s Ted finishes up, he loses track of his bodily fluid. Mary finds the smoking gun hanging from Ted’s hair, assuming that it’s hair gel. In too deep, Ted can’t prevent Mary from giving herself a new do. The Farrelly brothers spent six months fighting with Fox over this scene until finally getting the green light. The scene reportedly had some audiences darting out of the theater, but we mainly remember it for the laughter.

#1: Naked Wrestling

“Borat” (2006)
Discovering Azamat getting intimate with a photo of his beloved Pamela, Borat jumps in for a full-frontal attack. We mean that literally. Ken Davitian, who plays Azamat, suggested that he at least wear boxers for the scene. Everyone was okay with this… except for Sacha Baron Cohen, who felt they had to go all out. The scene wasn’t any easier for Cohen to shoot. He feared for his life as Davitian sat on him with air running out. The fight is eventually taken out of the room and into the hotel. The filmmakers shot this at a couple of different venues, but the onlookers didn’t react as they had hoped. Finally, they got the desired shot upon crashing a San Diego mortgage convention. Very nice!
