Thanks. Glad I’m not going completely mad.

I’m not sure how I “dug it up”.

Also, good point about Young Frankenstein.

Still, it was a serendipidous find given the recent discussion on FCB, and certainly deserving of a “cheer”.

The trend of men getting raped by gorillas continues at least into the 90’s, such as in Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls. One of the bad guys gets what he deserves and is pulled into a bush by a gorilla.

Wierd!

I can think of examples of women being raped in 80s movie comedies, but the rapes are by deception rather than violence.

The 1975 film Young Frankenstein had a “comedic” violent rape of a woman.

Impute whatever subtext you’d like.

The 70’s and even the 80’s were very much dominated by men.
Men are stronger then women, men dominate women, men rape women and women are trapped in a male dominated world.

Now the tables are tuned. The big strong dominant man is trapped in the cage, with a gorilla. The gorilla is stronger then the man, the gorilla dominates the man and rapes the man.

But then again I could be reading way to0 much into this.

I’ve seen female versions of this play out too but I can’t remember the movie/TV series titles. Usually it’s the same “guy in a gorilla suit” but the real gorilla is female. We know she’s a female ‘cause she has really long eyelashes, which she flashes often or because of the bow she has tied at the top of her head. She rapes the man in costume and he resists at first but then begins to show signs of enjoying it. Later there might be a scene of his male compatriots asking him where he’s been and the man saying nothing but giving a little sheepish grin. Doesn’t this just perpetuate the stereotype that men will do anything with anyone as long as there is a vagina involved? I’m just saying…

Given that Dan Akroyd was involved with the same in Trading Places is this traceable to Sat Night Live. Hmmm. Will ask my friend Dennis Perrin.

Prison rape gags, I realized now that you made me think about it, never involve the actual act of rape. The gag centers around a fear of prison rape, like Norm McDonald’s statements on Saturday Night Live or the episode of The Boondocks where Mr. Dubois is wrongfully arrested, or the commonplace nature of prison rape, as in the season 2 premiere of The Venture Brothers. But in no case is there an actual point where a character is raped.
