The Town of Odyssey

I've noticed a bit of "awkward" (for lack of a better word) content scattered around the Novacom-and-on era in Odyssey, and I question the inclusion of it. But the strangest was the discussion of Whit's pink underwear in "Nothing But the Half-Truth". (Yes, you read it right.) I found it very inappropriate that he was discussing this with Marvin. Anyone else feel a bit disturbed by this?

I was very disturbed. Good, it wasn't just me.

Were you disturbed in "Missionary: Impossible" as well? I believe it was Alex that you could "see" his underwear underneath the tribal dress thingie... ?

Well, I was a little bugged too, but not that much. I wouldv'e excepted that joke if it had ended there.

But it didn't, and so it is known as the dirtiest jokes on Odyssey.

Ben

i havent heard the ep with the PINK UNDERWEAR de Whit yet...ew

and the underwear thing with Alex isnt THAT bad...it could be worse i guess...for older listeners it seems pretty "innocent" i guess but for younger listeners it could be a lil inapropriate....

Hmm...I've never heard about Whit's pink underwear...

Alex then says, "Do you want me to take them off?"
And then Nathaniel yells. "No!"

I found that comical....

But it gave me a mental picture

I thought that both of them were funny, even tho' the alex one did give me a rather nasty mental picture.

Me too!

These jokes weren't Odyssey's high points, but it could've been worse. Whit's pink underwear was just pointless in episode Nothing But the Half Truth...Alex's Star Wars underwear in Missionary Impossible was pretty funny, but bad mental picture as others already stated. Also, we learned that Wooton wears powerboy boxers in...Welcoming Wooton...I think. That was kind of pointless also, but it did help develop Wooton's great passion for Powerboy comics.

I don't like the underwear jokes either. Next thing you know instead of looking at sweater catalogs Connie will be looking at a "personal" catalog and one of the kids will advise her on which kind to buy! Not really, but still I'm not sure when that became an appropriate Odyssey story topic.

i agree it's super awkward. Another one is when Wooton sings the birthday song and Mrs. Randolph comments on his Power Boy boxers.

Yikes.

I didn't think they were that bad, I just thought that they were silly. Really little kids won't think anything about it and older kids will just think it's silly. That's my complaint; they're silly.

I agree completly. Many 7 and 8 year olds won't think anything more of the underwear jokes than hilarious jokes.

Yes, Yes, and yes. When I first heard that one that is exactly what I thought.

I didn't think that the first were that bad. I just thought that the line was crossed during discussion of Whit's undergarments. I'll never be able to think of Whit the same way again . . . the mental picture was unwelcome.

But at least it cleared up the age old "Whit: Boxers or Briefs?" debate.

i wasn't disturbed in the least! there's only so many things they can do not to "offend" people. i don't know if it's just because i have five brothers, or if its because it's really not that big of a deal.

if thats the only thing "wrong" with adventures in odyssey...praise the lord! i'm happy with that! haha!

To tell you the truth- I never really even noticed them.

There was a debate? Um . . . why was there a debate?

That was really funny.
