How Jason Segel’s p-nis in Forgetting Sarah Marshall Changed Movie Nudity

Jason Segel’s p-nis has become a topic of discussion ever since he bared it all in the 2008 movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

Even though it has been 15 years since the movie premiered, his humdinger still makes headlines and is often talked about.

In fact, Harrison Ford, Segel’s co-star on the Apple TV+ series Shrinking, described Segel’s dong as “nice.”

The loss of a new Segel n^de scene in the 2012 movie The Five-Year Engagement was lamented by fans.

In 2014, Segel shared that his sainted mother cried when she saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

Recently, Segel appeared on Conan O’Brien’s podcast, Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, where he discussed his career, mental health journey, and, yes, his p-nis.

However, this conversation only happened under direct questioning.

Segel based the n^ked scene in Forgetting Sarah Marshall on a real-life n^ked break-up of his own.

Like Peter, his character in the film, Segel decided to surprise his girlfriend with a bold, unexpected display of the flesh.

Unfortunately, like Peter, Segel’s unexpected display met the unexpected response of an abrupt dumping, which was a brutal way to end a relationship.

O’Brien gave us a new way of thinking about the scene discussed on his show.

“I like seeing you n^ked,” O’Brien quipped to Segel, making a joke.

But seeing Segel n^ked isn’t core to what O’Brien says he likes about Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

O’Brien thinks the movie is a perfect comedy, sweet, nice, and funny.

Segel explains that he wasn’t trying to be funny but honest.

The scene in Forgetting Sarah Marshall is both sincere and a punchline.

Peter exposes himself by choice, thinking that slinging his meat in plain sight is all it’ll take to rev up his girlfriend Sarah’s engines.

However, Sarah doesn’t reciprocate.

No one in the history of humanity has ever said that they need to have s** when they say they need to talk.

Peter’s girlfriend broke up with him because she was not impressed by his gesture.

Segel’s p-nis is the sunny side of the scene, as it is innately funny.

Segel used his own breakup as a blueprint for Peter’s in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, making the scene metatextual.

It’s about Segel being willing to make himself the b*tt of a joke written around Peter, while also being willing to make himself vulnerable.

That takes guts and chutzpah.

Even a decade and a half on, most male movie stars comparatively lack next to Segel.

The post-Forgetting Sarah Marshall 2000s and 2010s saw an adequate share of male nudity, in movies ranging from “studio” to “independent” and from stars ranging to “big” to “small.” Nevertheless, Segel is unique because he wrote his own movie and chose to get n^ked in Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

He chose a personal basis to justify unwrapping his package.

By the time Forgetting Sarah Marshall opened in theaters, Segel had just under three seasons of How I Met Your Mother to his credit.

He was practically a household name, but he still decided to keep the movie honest by writing a painful memory based on his own break-up.

That’s progress, pride, confidence, and chutzpah.

The significance of Forgetting Sarah Marshall goes deeper than Segel’s flailing fire hose.

Any male movie star can get n^ked if they want to.

However, only a few write their own movies, much less their own n^de scenes.

Segel is unique because he chose to base the scene on his own experience.

Segel clearly doesn’t mind being n^ked, as he has appeared in other movies with n^de scenes.

However, only Segel is man enough to actually do it.

O’Brien may like seeing Segel n^ked, but Segel’s confidence and chutzpah are what make him unique.

In conclusion, Segel’s p-nis in Forgetting Sarah Marshall has changed movie n^dty by showing that male movie stars can get n^ked if they want to, and that they can choose to show more than their bums.

Segel’s choice to base the scene on a personal experience and write his own movie shows progress towards equality and breaks the barrier of male modesty.

His confidence and chutzpah make him stand out, and hopefully, other male stars will follow in his footsteps.
