Twitter Is Spiraling Over the Talking Penis Scene in ‘Pam & Tommy’
Spoilers for Pam & Tommy lie ahead...although it’s based on a true story, so not really!
Anyone else watch Pam & Tommy on Hulu? Because we’re here to discuss the talking penis. Specifically Tommy Lee’s talking penis, which opens its mouth (??? help!) and starts chatting to him during a drug-induced argument over whether they should settle down and marry Pam Anderson or keep having sex with a bunch of other celebrities. Normal stuff.
Anyway, literally no one was prepared to watch this show and see a talking penis, and Twitter is frankly not okay:
Wondering how this scene even happened? Showrunners Rob Siegel and D.V. DeVincentis say they got the idea from Tommy’s memoir.
“It came from Tommy Lee himself, his memoir Tommyland. His penis is a character in the book,” Rob told Entertainment Weekly. “Throughout the book, he has these, I presume imaginary but maybe not, exchanges between himself and his dick.” D.V. added that they saw the penis “almost like Tommy’s id” rather than “a sentient organ.”
Meanwhile, Rob notes, “That’s not actually Sebastian Stan’s dick. If we were showing full-frontal male nudity, that would be a different issue, but it’s almost so silly that it makes it maybe less [of an issue]. I can’t think of a more fun and cuddly way to get away with extended full-frontal male nudity. It’s a puppet; it’s like Yoda.”
Wow, Yoda did not ask for this comparison.
