PLAY ALL 5 CLIPS

Clip 1

Heading home from a ball game, Kevin decides to teach his younger sister, Taylor, a song he'd learned at camp the previous summer. Taylor finds it very, very funny. His parents? Not so much.

Kevin

When you're slidin' into first and you're feeling something bust, diarrhoea, diarrhoea.

When you're slidin' into third and you lay a juicy turd, diarrhoea, diarrhoea.

When you're slidin' into home and your shorts are full of foam, diarrhoea, diarrhoea.

When you're sittin' in your Chevy and your shorts are feelin' heavy, diarrhoea, diarrhoea.

Karen

Kevin, honey... where'd you learn that song?

Kevin

Last Summer at camp, Mom.

Gil

Ah, that was money well spent!

Clip 2

Taylor is poorly. She looks poorly, she sounds poorly and when Gil tries to comfort her, he gets more than he bargained for.

Taylor

Hi, Daddy.

Gil

What's the matter, honey? You don't feel so good?

Taylor

Um-hmm.

Gil

You feel like you wanna throw up?

Taylor

Okay.

[She projectile vomits all over her Dad and begins to cry]

Karen

Gil! Oh my God. Oh, Taylor baby. Oh, sweetie. Oh. Gil, why you just standing there?

Gil

I'm waiting for her head to spin around.

Karen

[To TAYLOR]

You'll be all right. You'll be okay.

Clip 3

Let the last five words of Larry's dialogue sink in for a moment. Could this be THE most inappropriate thing any grown man could say to his own sister? Yes. Probably. Yes.

Larry

My God, Susan... you look great. If you weren't my sister...

[Laughs]

Clip 4

There's been a mix-up at the Fotomat. Helen was expecting photos from a party. Instead, she's ended up with pornographic photographs of her own daughter and her boyfriend.

Helen

[Leafing through the photographs as JULIE looks on, horrified]

I... I... I... I think this one is my favourite. This is just...

Julie

It's just for fun, Mom.

Helen

Well, I'm glad to know it's not a job! It's that, uh... Todd, isn't it? There's one where you can see his face.

Julie

Is that what bothers you? That I did those things or that I did them with Todd?

Helen

Gee whizz, Julie. There's so many things that bother me about this... I don't know how to separate them. Oh! Wooh! Here's something for my wallet!

Clip 5

It's a father's duty to teach his son some phrases of which his mother definitely wouldn't approve. Like... THIS, for example...

Gil

Okay, now... what do we say when we see a cute eight-year-old girl walk by?

Kevin

Ubba ubba!

Gil

Ubba ubba. Okay. Oh, don't tell your mom I taught you that. It'd be bad. Let's go.
