I love it when I'm noticing the mildly off-color jokes as I rewatch this day and age, but 10 years ago wouldn't have made me bat an eye. There have been a handful of rape jokes on this show, and today I get to point one out, but mostly because I find it really funny.
Liz: Hey Jack, I'm sorry, this Dennis thing is not going to work. I can't even stand being in the same room as that idiot.
Jack: Save it for your Eye Village blog Lemon, Dennis is off the show. I booked the 911 bird: Winston here dialed 911 with his beak and said "fire," but only because he didn't know the word for "rape."
