One of my great joys in life is watching R-rated movies edited for broadcast television. (I have a boring life.) Such movies are usually hilariously edited to confirm with broadcast standards; for example, the FX version of Grandma’s Boy, a stoner comedy, almost completely eliminates the pot smoking from the movie. (Again: A boring life.)
My favorite, though, is when — instead of just censoring the swear words — the movie’s lines are re-dubbed with “acceptable” words and phrases. I recently saw American Pie on Universal HD and made a little edit of my favorite replaced words. Yes, MILF is now, “Mom I’d like to feel!” I think my favorite is the scene where the younger Stifler comes out of the closet and goes, “You guys are gonna fool around, aren’t you?”
I’m happy to report that American Pie has aged quite well; 10 years later, it’s still a funny, enjoyable movie. In other news, Jason Biggs was recently attacked by a monkey.
