In general, I believe it started when the grocery and convenience stores ramped up their efforts as far as selling bottled drinking water back in the 1970s because doctors suddenly decided we were all dehydrated. Even Robin Williams joked about it on his first comedy album "Reality ... What a Concept", saying "Whenever I spend a dollar on a bottle of water, I have Perrier," because the idea of paying for a bottle of water was still absurd.
A few decades ago Johnny Carson was interviewing an actress (Dyan Cannon maybe?) on The Tonight Show, and she had slightly over-indulged in the alcohol made available to the guests in the "green room" so she began telling stories about some of her male co-stars over the years. The subject of filming "love scenes" came up and she said her most memorable was with a very well known male actor, not because of what he did while filming but what he did before filming. She said he approached her and said, "Listen, I've done a few of these before and no one ever really knows how they're going to go. So I wanted to apologize in advance just in case I get aroused while we're shooting this scene. And I'd like to apologize in advance just in case I don't."
Billy Connolly, advice on turning sixty:
Mae West is often quoted as saying: "Is that a pistol in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?" But in fact she ad-libbed it:

The Brits have made snobbery an art form. When you have a list of titles and qualifications longer than a tin pot dictator, you need Debretts.
Larry Wilton....1966 on stage making his stump speech for school president while sporting an (involuntary?) erection. It was most evident and the girls in the audience were silent while the guys rolled in the aisles with laughter. The dude won the election because everyone remembered his name......there is a politcal lesson in there somewheres.
In a related note: My wife and I always watch as the credits run at the end of the movie. Last night I saw for the first time following the "First assistant wardrobe istress" was the title of "Covid Runner". No idea what the role entailed but there it was. Perhaps running the covid tests to the lab each morning?
Thank you for the link, but I was only curious. I don't want to have to pay to join up with anyone for that bit of trivial knowledge.
You never know. One of my high school classmates was so well endowed that everyone at school knew about it; a local legend, you might say. *shrug* Nothing he could do about it, and he said his attempts to try to hide or disguise it just made things worse. A lot of the female students considered him to be a rather good-looking guy, but he was socially awkward and shy because of his "handicap". Nice guy, good sense of humor, intelligent, but...the grass is always greener.
