Bruce Leddy (director) A Football Thing (Mad TV, episode 905) / 2003 [4.23 minutes]
When I saw Llauró’s first episode, along with its
break-time adventures, I was suddenly reminded of a long ago comic Mad TV skit
of November 3, 2003 titled “A Football Thing,” wherein two guys (Ike Barinholtz
and Josh Meyers) watching American football jump up from the couch each time
their team makes a touchdown, butting chests like other macho sports fans butt
heads...but this time moving on to madly kiss one another, feeling up one
another as they do so. They quickly back off in shock and awe, asking “What was
that?”
The team just scored, says one of them. No, I mean the other part, continues his friend. “You mean when I put my tongue into your mouth?” “Yea.” That was just a “football thing” they insist, while wondering “Are we gay?” “Were you excited?” asks the first. “No. No. Yes. A little bit” answers the second. “Does that make me gay?”
“No,” responds the first, “a little bit.” Finally, they decide that they’re just “two guys who got excited and made out.”
They’re still unsure, however, as they return
momentarily to their game. But with another exciting moment they again bump
chests, and this time move into a deep embrace and kissing session, finally so
excited that one raises the other off the floor, the second jumping him as in a
leap of sex.
Again they back off, the second demanding to know “What the hell is
going on?” “I think we’re gay.” “You think so?” “Yeah, big time.”
“What do we do?” asks the second.
“I
don’t know. I’m new.” He sits. “I’m a new gay.”
“Should we go to a gay bar?
“I
don’t know. Can you go when you’re new?”
“Should we light some scented candles?”
They begin to imitate the cheerleaders shaking their “booty,” but soon, again standing, find that they shake their hips and butts back into a deep hug and even mock-fuck for few seconds before breaking away. “I don’t know what’s going on here,” laments the first guy, “but just ‘cause a couple guys who kiss and dance a little, and grope each other, and one of them whispers to the other, ‘I know you’re a man but I’m going to treat you like a lady’...doesn’t make them gay.”
He finally decides he’s got to get over to his girlfriends, asking the
other “You’re not going to be weird about this, are you?” The second agrees.
But a moment later, after another touchdown, the two stand and begin their
routine, intensely resisting their desires to repeat their previous actions,
finally one of them planting a quick kiss on his friend’s lips as he leaves.
