Say it with us

Highly quotable.

Janine, I'd like you to meet my special friend, Specky the Speculum.

I'm shy, too!

The premise

Here’s the bit.

Janine, nervous about seeing a male gynecologist, is introduced by Dr. Wiswold to his "special friend," a speculum puppet with googly eyes. The puppet flirts, tells jokes and delivers unsolicited health advice, until the exasperated patient walks out. The doctor then produces a second hand puppet, a pap smear with its own sales pitch, and the two exam-room puppets head off to lunch.

The rabbit hole continues

One more couldn’t hurt.
