These Porny Scenes Aren't What You Think

Sometimes a lot of backstory is used to soften a not-so-great conclusion. The opposite route is taken in Alberto Belli's satire "It's Not Porn." Here, Los Angeles-based actors describe explicit sex scenes they have just been cast in, carrying on in great detail as their shocked friends and family grow more and more horrified. By the end, it becomes clear these so-called storytellers have buried the very important lede, proving that It really is all about the context.

Those paying close attention will recognize the descriptions as existing scenes from popular HBO shows including Girls and Game of Thrones.
