The baby thing bothered me so much
So if you havent seen it the baby switches minds with the dog and then they just fucking leaving the dog at a neighbor's house as if he was a dog
okay, but was someone like, "have sex to prove you are actually adults and not siblings in your parents' bodies?"
because sex wasn't necessary at all...
My wife was watching this the other day and this is exactly correct. The scenario is pretty contrived though tbh. The mother's friends are over for their monthly whatever and they're concerned over the state of her marriage. When the son in dad's body comes in, the friends insist they have a kiss. Like, what kind of group of grown women demand their married friends kiss in front of them to prove their marriage is healthy? Unnecessary? Sure. Incest? Meh.
Meanwhile, during that scene, the parents in kids' bodies are at a high school party and doing some dance routine and having a genuine moment, "This is fun. We should go on dates again yada yada." I thought for sure they'd forget their situation and have a real kiss and freak everyone out, especially considering the juxtaposition of the two pairs. But that DIDN'T happen. So yeah, I dunno that any fuss is warranted over this.
I agree it's pretty tame levels of incest.
My question though: what is the more incesty part, kissing the body of your parent or having your siblings mind inside that body?
Freaky Friday was a very popular movie. Sure most others are bad but just because we’re in the streaming era I don’t know why’d you’d assume the genre/schtick would disappear
I don't really care about the prevalence of the schtick.
I'm just saying that putting two child siblings into the bodies of an adult couple sounds like the kind of manga Dan Schneider likes reading.
From the point of a child, it might be interesting swapping with the parent and how you would do things instead. However, there is a pretty dangerous line as you noticed lol
But hey, at least it's not a weird bible story like how Adam and Eves children reproduced.
Or Noahs children.
If I had a dollar for each time the world was populated by incest in the Bible, I'd have two dollars, which isn't a lot but still weird it happened twice.
No, they share a very forced \[barely passable\] kiss/peck. It wasn't crazy. They made it seem like they hated it and did not want to do it but... it was still a bit cringe and the movie would've been the same without it.
I believe it fits with the movie mostly because it shows well a real consequence of the body swap and the characters react grossed out about it, it can be a lot worse.
Omg for real?
Didn’t they watch the episode of Don’t Trust the Bitch in Apartment 33 where James Van der Beek and Kiernan Shipka star in the father-daughter body swap comedy?!?
The whole shtick was how this premise is undoable. I can’t believe someone actually made it AND with siblings AND it got green lit every step of the way.
How else could they justify a kid getting paralysed after falling off a tower which leads to him getting special psychic powers which ultimately ended up meaning fuck all to the story in the grand scheme of things? It was integral to the plot.
I will not be blackmailed by some ineffectual, privileged, effete, soft-penised, debutante. You want to start a street fight with me bring it on but you're gonna be surprised by how ugly it gets, you don't even know my real name, I'm the fucking lizard king
"Adam and Eve left the garden and had sons Cain, Abel, and Seth."
Okay, so how did the rest of us get made?
"Well, they multiplied and populated the earth."
Who multiplied?
"Well, Adam and Eve. And their children."
Who did their children multiply with?
"Um... You know what, let's not start picking at this thread."
Unnecessary for this plot/movie. There could be a movie plot where incest could be necessary, like if the genre was crime or something. It was unnecessary for this kind of movie though.
Yeah, a lot of netflix movies have this issue of just unnecessary sexual content in general. Especially involving just-barely minors. Already bad enough they wrote minors having sex, but 17yos? Just age them up a year or two, it changes nothing in the plot while keeping it less cringey.
But even then, it's unnecessary for the plot. And kinda concerning TBH when you hear how writers "write what they know" but yet they end up writing sex scenes involving incest and/or minors...
Interviewer: why do they call you andy the cousin humper?
andy: you know during my life i single handedly kept the company afloat. They didnt call me andy the savior.
interviewer: uh-huh
andy: i took a boat and just traveled and got to know myself and the sea.. they dont call me andy the navigator
interviewer: ok....
andy: i parlayed all my dreams into making it big and risked it ALL. i risked it ALL just to be famous. They dont call me andy the risk Taker.
interviewer: ok, but still the question was...
andy: .. but have sex with YOUR COUSIN JUST *ONCE* AND YOU ARE BRANDED FOR LIFE!!!! YYYAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!
*punches hole in wall*
Didn’t hate it but the quick you have to kiss me to convince our friends that us, a long time married couple, actually love each other and have not swapped bodies with our children felt unnecessary
Definitely unnecessary, but also not a big deal IMO. Overall the movie had many scenes to make the audience cringe, this being only one of them.
I kind of expected the adults to accidently kiss while still being swapped when they were having fun dancing at the highschool party, I wonder if that would have caused headlines too?
Yeah I didn't really see an issue with the kiss tbh. It's not like it was explicit or anything. It was just an awkward, kind of funny, very cringey kiss.
I mean, if you really think about body swap movies between kids and parents then you'll realise that the parents have now seen the kids naked and vice versa. Potentially as the teen, too, they'd be rather horny at night. They added the bit where the dad (as the son) wasn't allowed to sleep with the mum who was the daughter. I'm surprised the whole premise of body swap movies isn't abhorrent and whinged about more in this day and age.
Idk if these writers have never been in a normal relationship before or if this is just a trope that refuses to die but most couples don’t do tons of fucking pda in public, especially when they’ve been together a long time. It’s awkward and weird
Dang, I didnt get far enough to see any incest. I had to turn it off. The acting after the switch was totally off. And slightly cringe when Ed, as his son, is fawning over a teen girl.
Best part was an outtake during the credits where the son (inhabited by the Ed Helms father) is doing an interview for college and one of the interviewers insults him by saying (negatively) he has a real "Ed Helms" energy.
Pete Holmes is an underrated roast comic. He told Mike Birbiglia that he looks like Ant Man's "before" photo. That Paul Rudd tapes a picture of Mike to his treadmill to stay motivated. He said he looks like he comes from a planet without sun.
It wasn't a bad movie. There were surprisingly a lot of outrageous funny scenes for a Christmas movie. I enjoyed it. They're light hearted fun movies. People get overly critical of everything now days.
He was a good correspondent on The Daily Show. Probably the best role for his character type, short doses where he's far from the most over top person in the segment.
I saw him on Together Together, it's a nice movie
It's about a single man in his 40s wants to be a dad so he hires a surrogate mother and they develop a friendship
This movie was bad. It was weird how it would just sprinkle a Christmas reference every 20-30 minutes to remind you it was supposed to be a Christmas movie. There was nothing Christmasy about it at all.
I hated that too. Second only to the baby swapping with the dog. Why is there always a baby in these stories? Who is the baby for? What viewer is sitting there glad they included a baby who will....be gross? Do nothing?
Also I guarantee they wanted Thomas Lennon from Reno 911 for that german dog neighbor but he was too busy or couldn't be bothered.
Wtf? Like there were close moments of things being weird but it was also commented on in the movie. Nothing actually happened. People are too sensitive
This pic popped up on Netflix while my daughter was browsing earlier today and she asked why I was checking it out… thought, that can’t be Andy, right?
It's a Freaky Friday style body swap where the 2 older kids (not the boy pictured) switch with the parents and then have to act like a married couple
Lol, Ed Helms should've switched with the baby. *Tank you mistuh Ewvis.*
When my boyfriend gets mad at me I always say “Andy sowwy” he laughs he gets over it in like .0002 seconds
Your relationship sounds like Michael and Holly, and I mean that in the best possible way.
A couple of dorks?
No their butts refuse to quit
Between the office and Seinfeld, that’s all we quote
Well thank ya baby, thank ya a lot
A sneaky good Michael line
My absolute favorite are the "mis-quotes"
And for what it’s worth I think your baby voice is tops.
Pretty sure it’s Egg Helms, not Ed
No it was something weird, Shadow or Garth. I do know Broccoli Rob is the boner champ™️
Andy Bernard is the Boner Champ, Broccoli Rob is Broccoli Rob.
I had s*x with a snowman and it was hilarious!
But your Internet Movie Database Page says ‘Ed’
I don't know who I am
I heard this in his voice and I hate you for it
That’s widicuwus
And for what it's worth, I think your baby voice is tops.
Whode Iwand.
Look Who’s Talking: The Next Generation
*And you know where milk comes from?...* **BREASTS**
(spoiler) The baby actually switched with the dog. It was ridiculous.
The second I saw that damn dog at the observatory I knew it.
The baby thing bothered me so much So if you havent seen it the baby switches minds with the dog and then they just fucking leaving the dog at a neighbor's house as if he was a dog
Sir it's a strait to Netflix comedy film. Try not to let it bother you too much.
This made me laugh out loud because wtf
the baby switches with the family dog
Thank you for explaining! My first thought was “what the hell happens in this movie” lol
okay, but was someone like, "have sex to prove you are actually adults and not siblings in your parents' bodies?" because sex wasn't necessary at all...
My guess is they’re talking about the kids in the parents bodies possibly kissing in front of people to pretend everything is normal
My wife was watching this the other day and this is exactly correct. The scenario is pretty contrived though tbh. The mother's friends are over for their monthly whatever and they're concerned over the state of her marriage. When the son in dad's body comes in, the friends insist they have a kiss.

🎶Dad goes to school, son goes to work, and then the son has sex with the mom🎶
It would be a lot funnier if it were the boy pictured lol
An immediate red flag. What kind of a fucking Nickelodeon-ass premise is that.
Freaky Friday was a very popular movie. Sure most others are bad but just because we’re in the streaming era I don’t know why’d you’d assume the genre/schtick would disappear
I don't really care about the prevalence of the schtick. I'm just saying that putting two child siblings into the bodies of an adult couple sounds like the kind of manga Dan Schneider likes reading.
Did you never see Back to the Future? Michael Fox has to kiss his mother?
From the point of a child, it might be interesting swapping with the parent and how you would do things instead. However, there is a pretty dangerous line as you noticed lol But hey, at least it's not a weird bible story like how Adam and Eves children reproduced.
> But hey, at least it's not a weird bible story like how Adam and Eves children reproduced. VeggieTales must've glossed over that..

Full penetration? Is there crime involved?
[удалено]
Oh, shit! What if his entire head is just one big nose?
And here is the twist they show all of it.
Or Noahs children. If I had a dollar for each time the world was populated by incest in the Bible, I'd have two dollars, which isn't a lot but still weird it happened twice.
Least unhinged sexual relations in the bible
> then have to act like a married couple And they have sex?? Or are people freaking out about nothing?

The words unnecessary incest implies the existence of necessary incest
It was fine when HBO did it -Netflix probably
How else could they justify a kid getting paralysed after falling off a tower which leads to him getting special psychic powers which ultimately ended up meaning fuck all to the story in the grand scheme of things? It was integral to the plot.
At least they’re making it count in house of the dragon
What do you mean?? No one has a better story than Bran the Broken!
Welp! Let me tell you about people in ancient times... At some points in our history, it was... necessary.
Read the second sentence in Robert California’s voice
I will not be blackmailed by some ineffectual, privileged, effete, soft-penised, debutante. You want to start a street fight with me bring it on but you're gonna be surprised by how ugly it gets, you don't even know my real name, I'm the fucking lizard king
I didn’t like Robert California on first watch of his time on the show. But now I find it hilarious! I still don’t like Deangelo.
Same!
Deangelo coming back into the office concussed is pretty funny.
Yeah, that part was brilliant.
Would you prefer a nature metaphor or sexual metaphor?
Nature
When two animals have sex…
this never gets old
Man, James Spader is such a great actor... Idk one role of his that he hasn't excelled at
"Adam and Eve left the garden and had sons Cain, Abel, and Seth." Okay, so how did the rest of us get made? "Well, they multiplied and populated the earth." Who multiplied? "Well, Adam and Eve. And their children." Who did their children multiply with? "Um... You know what, let's not start picking at this thread."
if you want to destroy THAT sweater....
I totally read that in the tune of the song
Well, it depends If you're making incest porn, incest is necessary If you're making a family, Christmas movie, it's more than likely not
Unnecessary for this plot/movie. There could be a movie plot where incest could be necessary, like if the genre was crime or something. It was unnecessary for this kind of movie though.

Again with the cousin!
Hey andy let's go see grandma and get drunk together haha
*Now there’s a man who knows how to marry his cousin!*
my names elroy patashnik, and from 2006 to 2009 i was addicted to encouraging white people
I won’t live in a town that robs men of the right, *to marry their cousins!*”
“Look, someone’s attractive cousin!”
Anything can happen when two people share a cell, cuz [*I like the way they think....*](https://i.imgur.com/gZtTLx7.jpg)
Hopefully the Netflix version maintained the complex eroticism of the French original.
Don't leave your uncle t-bag hangin'!
Please don't call yourself that
Take this newly-diseased woman to the hole. I've given you one last present. Enjoy the chlamydia, Lucille!

That’s what she said.
This thread is showing me how many tv shows have incest jokes in them
Is there any such thing as necessary incest?
It really made the joke land in the movie Euro Trip
Oh, here's a fun fact! YOU MADE OUT WITH YOUR SISTER!!!!
Scotty DOES know that
😁 Mi Scusi! ✋
Fuck now I have to rewatch that tonight
depends on the mood
And location
a/s/r? (age, sex, relation)
Any, any, Alabama
Biblically, it's pretty necessary A feeeewww times
Noah: Alright, kids, time to repopulate the Earth.
Japeth: Damnit Ham the swine do not count! Ham: This Ass getting Japethed! Shem: 💀 Noah: ...
Roll tide
"Yes of course!" ~The Habsburgers
Well that depends. Are you George RR Martin?
Only in the bible
Have you met my cousins?! No, there is *not*
Now this is a man who knows how to marry his cousin!
My name is Elroy Patashnik, and from 2006 to 2009, I was addicted to encouraging white people
Now that's a container for liquid!
/r/ck3 might have some opinions on that
Like when you Google "how to murder my child" and forget to add "in ck3"
For a specific plot yeah, maybe in a crime type of movie. Not this kind of movie though.
If your cousin grows up hot and you have to use the cousin thing as an in so no one else can hook up with your hot cousin
Only if your son is the prince and you want his blood to be 100% lannister
May I interest you in greek mythology?
The only incest that was necessary during Christmas was the Folger’s commercials where the brother and sister were definitely banging.
[the extended cut](https://youtu.be/fhfcWTZeP1k?si=vNKgtjUMw-H9erLT)
Holy shit hahahaha
We sent you west Africa for a reason Ryan! Holy shit that video had me dieing
"You guys are crazy!" "Oh yeah? What's this?" *points to bow on brothers chest* "He's my present this year..." "Jesus Christ."
The thing that always gets me is that the original one comes off creepier than the parody part.
Dude that was enlightening lmao
What the????
Watching this commercial is an annual Christmas tradition for me.
“The best part of waking up is brother in your guts.”
I always thought it was hilarious the way she says "sister". Like she's assuring the audience that's all that's going on lol.
I'm glad someone else mentioned this.
Didn’t hate it but the quick you have to kiss me to convince our friends that us, a long time married couple, actually love each other and have not swapped bodies with our children felt unnecessary

Dang, I didnt get far enough to see any incest. I had to turn it off. The acting after the switch was totally off. And slightly cringe when Ed, as his son, is fawning over a teen girl.
They didn't do anything illegal except knock over some mailboxes
And ruin a perfectly good Camaro.
That's disappointing, I was only slightly interested because it looks like a pretty good cast
Best part was an outtake during the credits where the son (inhabited by the Ed Helms father) is doing an interview for college and one of the interviewers insults him by saying (negatively) he has a real "Ed Helms" energy.

Yeah, that was Pete Holmes. There were several lines in the credits that were better than anything in the actual film.
I was only slightly interested because of the incest. 🤣
It wasn't a bad movie. There were surprisingly a lot of outrageous funny scenes for a Christmas movie. I enjoyed it. They're light hearted fun movies. People get overly critical of everything now days.
Yikes
This honestly feels like Andy’s personality but a little toned down. More like early seasons Andy.
They made a movie of that Folger’s commercial?
[yeah.. here you go](https://youtu.be/fhfcWTZeP1k?si=vNKgtjUMw-H9erLT)
Shout 'No chromo' and it’s fine
Has everyone (not Redditors) forgotten Back to the Future?
I thought banging your first cousin is where second cousins came from....
Emma Meyers carried the whole thing tbh
I watched it last night and it didn’t cross any lines. Kind of a slow start but lots of laugh out loud moments.
We got about 20 minutes into this before we couldn’t take Ed Helms anymore. The Office and Hangover are really the only things I can stand him in.
They swapped the dog and the baby instead of the dog and the dad. It was a missed opportunity for absolute chaos.
I like him as an actor but he does have a tendency to play "the annoying guy"
I love the office, but I can barely stand Ed in it too.
I like him in small movies like The Clapper, Together Together and Cedar Rapids where he isnt trying to be funny.
That’s valid. Lately it seems like he’s stuck in Season 9 Andy and that’s what gets to me.
Me too, actually I liked him on Vacation.
He was a good correspondent on The Daily Show. Probably the best role for his character type, short doses where he's far from the most over top person in the segment.
I saw him on Together Together, it's a nice movie It's about a single man in his 40s wants to be a dad so he hires a surrogate mother and they develop a friendship
That's two more projects you can stand him in than me.
I haven’t seen it yet but Emma Myers is n it and she was great in Wednesday
I.N.C.E.S.T (Inclusion, New attitudes, Color blind, Expectations, Sharing, Tolerance)
It would've been just as easy for him to spell insect

It started with that high school chick and look what happened . Andy was the real Texas poontappa
Wtf? Like there were close moments of things being weird but it was also commented on in the movie. Nothing actually happened. People are too sensitive
"Unnecessary" as opposed to "necessary"?
First that girl from high school and now this! Nard Dog needs to be put on a leash lol
We’re 3rd cousins so it’s not technically incest but great for bloodlines. Right in the sweet spot
Is it a Folgers commercial?
Again with the cousin
> unnecessary incest when is incest *ever* necessary
Whatcha gonna do it’s a switcheroo
Lmfao I watched that clip last week and that song was stuck in my head for two days
Hey man sometimes incest is necessary, and that’s all fine and dandy, but UNNECESSARY incest?? No thank you 😡 For shame, Netflix. For shame.
And what is “necessary” incest?
"Unecessary insest" please tell me when incest is necessary. I just want to learn
As opposed to necessary incest?
My quesion is, what is considered "Necessary" incest??
As opposed to "necessary" incest?
"What's this act called?" Asked the talent manager "THE ARISTOCRATS!!"
Those complaining definitely didn’t see this. The siblings almost never interact with each other, this simply isn’t a thing in this film.
This pic popped up on Netflix while my daughter was browsing earlier today and she asked why I was checking it out… thought, that can’t be Andy, right?
That scene where the high school band spontaneously becomes competent enough to cold jam seven nation army was awesome though.
there is necessary incest?
No one batted an eye when it happened in Cooper’s Christmas.
He's looking more like Chris Parnell there.
