  1. > “I was lying on top of a bed and I was wearing boxer shorts and a T-shirt and all of a sudden — this had never happened before — I heard the audience laughing,” Rudd recalled. “And I’m like, what is going on? I realized it’s because I was lying on the bed and I had my leg up and my balls were hanging out, which is worse than actually, penis — it’s like, just your balls.”

    > Smartless cohost Will Arnett got a kick out of the fact that this occurred during a production of none other than The Shape of Things, laughing at the apt and ironic title.

    > “That’s exactly right,” Rudd said. “That was the show.”

  2. I think I would feel my nutbag hanging out in the open sooner than catching the audience laughing at it.

  3. My father recalls to great hilarity the time my mother dragged him to the ballet. During intermission the lead male, wearing white tights and apparently flesh toned makeup adjusted himself offstage. When he got back onstage the handprint over his crotch gave my dad a case of the giggles that precipitated my horrified mother ushering him out of the performance. He still finds it hilarious to this day.

  4. To be fair if I was playing with Rachel Weisz, my balls would be out too…

  7. OMG I saw this play in London. I must have missed the night his balls were out — too bad!!

  8. In college I did a semester abroad in London. As a group we went to a lot of shows. On one occasion the professor in charge of the whole thing and our dean were with us at a play. As a group we learned one of the actresses forgot to put on underwear. Her full Monty was on display for all. As the students did a double take the professor responded with an Oh…oh Mmmyyyyy!
