Lyrics Special Victims and Ice T - John Mulaney

Special Victims and Ice T

I don’t mean to complain about censorship at all though, because as you
probably have seen by now,
you can basically say whatever you want on television, it’s ridiculous.
You can say anything you want and if you don’t believe me, you should watch a
little program called Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, yeah.
A show that I love because on that show you can say the grossest things you’ve
heard in your life.
No, you can’t say, like, the F word, you can’t say that on Special Victims Unit.
But people walk around on SVU going like «Looks like the victim had anal
contusions, looks like we found semen and fecal matter in the victim’s ear
canal.»
Those are two real things that I heard on Law & Order: SVU
at three in the afternoon, both spoken by Ice-T.
Ice-T is a detective with the Special Victims Unit.
He handles New York’s most sensitive cases.
I love Ice-T on SVU.
He is fantastic.
He’s awesome.
What’s so great about him is that he’s been with the SVU for like — umm… 11
years now.
But he still treats every case like it’s his first in terms of total confusion.
Sometimes, they will be in the middle of an investigation, and Ice-T will be
like,
«Yo!
You are telling me this dude gets off on little girls with pigtails?!
«He's like — yeah Ice.
He’s a pedophile.
You work in the sex crimes division,
you are going to have to get used to that.
You know how they try and tie in like current events to every episode SVU.
So there was this episode I saw, a while ago,
that was about sex addiction because a lot of
celebrities have come out as sex addicts.
So the episode is about sex addiction.
There was a scene in the episode, where the other detectives are trying to
teach Ice-T, what sex addiction is.
And it takes a couple of minutes.
And finally Ice-T gets it, and they cut to him
in his close-up and he goes «Oh I get it.
You mean like when someone drinks too much or snorts cocaine or bets the house
on the ponies.»
And I was like, «Yeah you got it man.»
And I was shocked that Ice-T understood.
So that they could continue with the investigation, but I could have watched
another four hours of Ice-T just naming examples, just that close up,
and Ice-T like,
«…or like when someone smokes too many cigarettes,
or like when someone shops too much with credit cards,
or like when someone plays too many scratchy lotteries,
or like when someone eats too much chocolate cake,
or like when someone eats too much chocolate cake and then barfs it up.»
And he would just keep talking and would slowly fade out and say,
Executive Producer Dick Wolf.
