CBS has a new television hit with their new comedy 2 Broke Girls. The show tackles many topics from the perspective of two young females. In particular, the two use explicit sexual and mature language throughout the show. Listen to the clip above.


At times, it can be a little too vulgar in my opinion. The girls language goes beyond the indecent but okay boundary. I think the producers could clean up the language some and the show would still do just fine.

Is 2 Broke Girls a little too vulgar?

In the most recent episode of 2 Broke Girls, Max and Caroline take jobs as elfs in a department store to make extra money for Christmas. The gig requires the girls to wear a very embarrassing outfit. They have to wear elf costumes consisting of tights and elf hats as seen in the picture. If you needed extra money for Christmas, would you consider doing something similar?

In the last episode of 2 Broke Girls, Max and Caroline attempt to find their horse, Chestnut, a job so he'll have lodging for winter. We learn Max has actually become very attached to Chestnut, and she is having problems giving him away. 


When the finally do find a place for him, Max starts to cry as she tells him goodbye. Their plan is only to leave the horse in a stable over winter and then come back and get it in the Spring. However, is this a good idea? The girls don't have a lot of money and are struggling to make. Taking care of a horse is costly and not easy. To me it seems as though it would be better for them to get rid of chestnut. He'd have a place to live, he would stay warm, and would be well taken care of. What do you think?

In a recent 2 Broke Girls, Johnny takes Max out to "tag" a billboard with spray paint. The two share an intimate moment, but Johnny chooses not to kiss Max. Later on in the episode, we learn Johnny has a girlfriend. However, we also learn that he really likes Max and didn't kiss her that night because he didn't want to cheat on his girlfriend. Instead, he wanted to break up with her first. 


Should he have kissed Max anyways and then broke with his girlfriend? Would it really have made a difference? They had the perfect romantic setting for a first kiss, but he chose to not take advantage of it. I don't think he should have passed on it if he intended to break up with his girlfriend ASAP! He should have done it and their first kiss would have been better!

In the last episode of Bachelor Pad, Jonathon, the "Weatherman," broke out a Speedo and rolled around in the paint with a bunch of the girls. As you all know, the girls are all smoking hot. So would you rock a Speedo in a room full of beautiful women in bikinis rolling around in paint like the "Weatherman" did?

Today a NY Magazine blog lamented that CBS' quirky gal-pal spin on The Odd Couple, 2 Broke Girls, is less about the camaraderie and too focused on being catty. Are the show's characters too snotty or is this idea about the ladies' sharp dialog a sneakily sexist concept?


"Broke Girls is not the only new comedy of the season with an overenthusiasm for nastiness: Whitney suffers from this tendency, too," the blogger compares. "....As a viewer, it's easier to invest in characters who are invested in each other. Whitney's central relationship is a couple: If they can't stand each other, why should we?" Are Broke Girls viewers under the impression that the girls coexisting together and relying on one another cannot stand each other? I wasn't.

One can blame the writing of both Whitney and Broke Girls on the sardonic stand-up-comedy-style of Whitney Cummings (who contributes to both shows) and the blogger does site Cummings' style as potentially being part of the problem. But some of Entourage's-- of all the series steeping in tea-bagging jokes, accusations of poor sexual prowess and equating emotions with weakness-- best episodes were executive produced and written by the guy-mind hidden inside the girl genius Ally MusikaJuno writer Diablo Cody knows a thing or two about serious sarcasm and nastiness as well. One doesn't have to be a stand-up comedianne from the gritty ol' stage to put some hilarious filth and fun put-downs down on a page. 

"Sure, meanness has its place," she goes on. "Just imagine Golden Girls without Bea Arthur's disdainful eye rolls and slow turns. But then try to imagine it without the cheesecake chitchats and underlying human compassion. Not everything has to be as merry as Jimmy Fallon or Parks and Recreation, but there are reasons both of these things are connecting with people, and it's that they're silly and hopeful, not just cruel and ironic."

2 Broke Girls does have its share of biting humor and cruel quips, with Kat Dennings' Max character certainly doling out the majority. However, the entire concept of the show is a Max reaching out a stranger she's just met, who has fallen on hard times. Max is teaching her the ropes at the diner they work at, and how to get by being broke, as the title implies. She's done countless favors for poor-little-rich-girl Caroline throughout the show's very brief new existence and it's easy to see their bond developing. 

Beth Behr's Caroline has also come back with some cutesy but cutting one-liners but her character came up with the show's underlying concept: that these two struggling chicks will bind together and utilize their talents to do something great for themselves together, becoming entrepreneurs in the trendy cupcake biz. Their relationship seems to be headed much more in the direction of the exasperated mutual respect and  reluctant adoration of Laverne & Shirley or Will & Grace than the actual back-biting and cruelty of Gossip Girl or 90210

And let's take a moment to think about this sort of sordid dialog exchange in male characters of shows and films driven by bromances. The kind of petty, snarky, picking on one another that's going on on 2 Broke Girls isn't an oddity on two other CBS showcase shows Two and a Half Men and The Big Bang Theory.  But are men bonding over evil exchanges and calling out each others' faults easier to watch? When boys tease it's funny, when girls tease it's me-ow.

Can it be that when it a bitchy insult comes from Kat Dennings' ruby red lips, fueled by breath drawn from lungs housed by a generous bust, it just seems meaner than when two dudes swap zingers about dick size? Maybe Entourage's tough but sweet E can take a joke better than Broke Girls' posh and petite Caroline? Her Wharton Business School intellect be be damned, words hurt!

Is a plea to tone down the contempt simply reinforcing stereotypes of how the fairer sex should be portrayed? Or is 2 Broke Girls really too liberal with the verbal abuse?

In his relationship and exchanges with me, my really close guy friend, who I'll call Mike, is the sweetest, most caring, sensitive, and attentive man I've ever met.

I've known Mike for several years now and have seen and met several of his girlfriends. I can't help but notice that Mike does not treat women that he is dating as good as he does me. So I asked Mike why he didn't put his girlfriends on the same pedestal as he does me. His response was that girls run all over good guys that act the way he does towards me, and therefore, he has a slight asshole routine he enacts towards girls he dates.

I've been thinking about what he said, and it became apparent to me that I have been somewhat of a bitch towards every "good" guy I've ever dated. Furthermore, almost all my girlfriends have been mean or didn't give any "good" guys the time of day.

Why is this the case? How come girls mistreat and run all over good guys?

The New Girl, the much-anticipated new Fox sitcom starring hipster icon Zooey Deschanel, premiered on Tuesday, September 20. The reception was huge -- the Wall Street Journal reports that more than 10 million viewers, including many desirable young viewers, tuned in to watch Deschanel's "adorkable" character Jess move in with three guys. The show flirts with a  "male friends help dowdy girl become a Real Woman" plotline, but the LA Times reviewer thinks the show's self-awareness makes "their little experiment in gender studies much more intriguing than" a standard ugly ducking trope. 


The New Girl isn't the only female-centric show this fall. 2 Broke Girls stars Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs as servers in a Brooklyn diner. Kat Dennings does for this CBS sitcom what Zooey Deschanel does for The New Girl -- people are tuning in just to see her. Monday's premiere recieved mixed reviews. The Washington Post found it a "lukewarm revamp of The Odd Couple," but the Boston Globe said "The actresses transcend their types," and the LA Times reviewer agrees. 

I think transcending stereotypes is essential to the success of these female-driven comedies -- if they don't move beyond cliche, the shows will simply rehash tired jokes about how different men and women are. Besides being unoriginal, plots based on gender differences perpetuate limiting roles for both men and women. It would be great to see these shows embrace female leads while letting each character develop as a full person with non-gender-based personality traits. Sounds like 2 Broke Girls is well on its way to surpassing trope "rich girl" and "city girl" characters, and the self-awareness of The New Girl may rescue it from a self-improvement-to-get-a-man scenario. 

EW.com's preview of the shows doesn't necessarily agree: "These two shows aren’t so much about girl power as they are about girl strategy: All three protagonists are young women who use their stereotypical “girl” qualities — flirtiness, mock-innocence, adroit manipulation of dumb males — to achieve some of their goals." There may be some truth there, but we can't expect a sitcom to break barriers right out of the gate. Only the pilot episodes have aired so far. There are less promising shows along these same lines this season -- Whitney is especially disappointing -- but these two in particular seem like they may turn out great.

Ribbed condoms don't do anything. They don't add pleasure and are just a stupid Gimmick. I've asked former partners and I've never had one say they loved it and I've never had a partner request it. Girls/Guys, do y'all agree?

So do you usually just start with a normal conversation with a girl at the bar? If so, how often does this tactic actually work? It's perhaps the approach with the least effort and the least danger of embarrassing oneself. You just talk normal and see where it goes. If it goes the way you want, then you make your move.
