WASHINGTON — Local porn viewer Caleb Fuller was surprised this week when an seemingly innocuous Redtube clip featured the infamous Wilhelm scream in the background.
“It was a really fun Easter Egg, but to be honest it kind of killed the mood of whackin’ off,” Fuller said. “As a cinephile, I appreciated the reference, but as a masturbator, I felt it was a strange choice. I know that with porn, you accept that the acting and editing will be a bit shoddy, but this just didn’t fit at all. It would be one thing if it happened when one of the actors had an orgasm, but it kind of just happened in the background at one point.”
The director of the particular video, Sluts Gone Crazy V4, explained his editing choice.
“I thought this would be a fun, knowing wink to all the people rubbing one out at home,” said director Spencer Rice. “I always like to include allusions and references in all my videos. Many people realized that the ending to my previous piece, Sluts Gone Crazy V3, was a reference to Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo. People love a dolly zoom cum shot! Not to mention that Alfred Hitchcock’s name has ‘cock’ in it. But the best was when I paid tribute to my favorite movie as a child, A Christmas Story, when a woman gets her tongue stuck to a penis in Christmas Fuck Brigade.”
Pornography critic Curtis Wheeler says this inclusion was a much needed shake up to the series.
“I for one was able to ejaculate quicker, if anything, thanks to the Wilhelm scream,” Wheeler said. “The Sluts Gone Crazy franchise had gotten stale, but this Easter Egg helped me keep my attention for the full three minute run time. I was impressed at the inclusion of the sound clip, and I look forward to what this director does, or rather who he does in the future.”
At press time, Rice announced that Sluts Gone Crazy V5 would feature Sam Raimi’s iconic 1973 Oldsmobile.
