︎hard R comedy
n.— «This is what those in the biz like to refer to as a “hard R” comedy, meaning lots of profanity, sexual content and other mature themes. This is not a comedy for your kids, nor is it a comedy for your grandparents, but if you dig funny stuff regardless of why it’s funny, get ready to spew soda all over the person in front of you.» —“’I Love You, Man’ a hilarious ’bromantic’ comedy” by Matthew Jackson The Huntsville Item (Texas) Mar. 25, 2009.
