    It’s a joke from The Nanny specifically about linguistic drift.

    This post is like someone watching Austin Powers and being like “I can’t believe they almost showed his dick! What a whacky accident!”.

      Yeah, I know it’s black and white but some younger folks seem to way overestimate the quality of older television. This looks like it may have actually been HD, or at least higher SD.

      That’s one of the only bits from The Pentaverate that really stuck the landing for me, guy really put his penis (or at least I think it might have been real) out in the open for us. Lots of people hate that netflix allowed a lot of male genitalia around that time, but I think it was a huge step forwards.
