YOU SAID DILDO AND MATT COHEN IN THE SAME SENTENCE, THE TWO CORRELATED TO EACH OTHER AND I NEED TO KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS please, and thank you
OKAY OKAY OKAY OKAY OKAY OKAY
SO. There’s this short/pilot episode that Matt Cohen was involved in, called Hard Crime. It’s a spoof on like, a mix of CSI Miami and a few other crime shows and it’s fucking brilliant in how gloriously irreverent it is.
ANYWAYS.
So, Matt is the main character, and one of the things that the main character (whose name I do not remember which is a crime, but it means I have to watch it again, which is an AWESOME thing), does/gets…is that when there is crime nearby, he gets a Crime Boner.
I shit you not, a large portion of this whole thing has uber-gruff Matt Cohen (scruff and all) wandering around with a GIANT. BONER.
It is the funniest thing you have ever fucking seen in your life. NOW. Moving the plot along, there’s this whole scene where Matt confronts the police chief/mayor person and he says he’s the only person who can catch the dastardly evil person who wants to take over a very specific part of California. (We’re talking like, specific COUNTY.)
So, following the Crime Boner of Hardness - they track down the villain, who is none other than a dastardly evil Richard Speight Jr.
There’s a bomb, and a plot to take over this piece of California, and a very bad guy, so Matt Cohen saunters up with the Crime Boner, and there’s cursing over how accurate it is…and then.
AND THEN.
TRUE GLORY HAPPENS.
The Crime Boner becomes a machine gun. All the bad guys are killed by it (including Richard, who fucking LAUGHED when I asked him how it felt to be killed by the Crime Boner in Hard Crime. He went on to explain that he didn’t remember it well, but that the whole idea had been Matt’s plan and baby and idea and fuck, he was just enthusing talking about it and it was GREAT), however, there’s still the bomb.
So, what does Matt Cohen’s character, with the machine gun Crime Boner do? Well, of course he has to defuse it.
BY FUCKING IT.
I shit you not, now knowing that the Crime Boner is a giant flesh-colored dildo, watching Matt Cohen fuck that bomb into deactivation is pretty much the best thing EVER.
So, fast forward to MinnCon, I’ve got Matt signing a few things for me and I mention Hard Crime and he starts laughing and I ask my questions (”In Hard Crime, what was the Crime Boner made out of it, if it wasn’t, you know, real.”) and explains that it was a giant, flesh-colored dildo, precisely 18-inches, and it was most definitely NOT REAL and he’s laughing his way through this explanation while the handler looks at me in horror and the person behind me is trying not to laugh.
Oh god, I manage to tell Matt that he has made my convention with the answer to this question, and walk away happily with my autographs.
And that, THAT, Letzi, is the story behind Matt Cohen, an 18-inch flesh colored dildo (that is apparently a strap on, because I have no idea how else he could have kept the thing in place), and Hard Crime.
THANK YOU.
