‘Broad City’ Is Starting A Sex Toy Line

Just when you started to think good ideas had gone extinct, “Broad City” announces a new line of sex toys.

The “Broad City” twitter page retweeted a tweet Tuesday evening from Lovehoney, a sex toy and lingerie online shop.

The tweet follows an announcement that the season four premiere date has been pushed back by two weeks and, as such, I’m choosing to interpret it as an apology of sorts — a fitting apology from the most sexually adventurous Jewish women on television.

Both Abbi and Ilana have been known to use sex toys onscreen but by far the most memorable of these moments came when Abbi’s character accidentally puts the love of her life’s very expensive dildo in the dishwasher, teaching a generation of young adults to never, ever do that.

While there are no details quite yet regarding the kind of sex toys worthy of a “Broad City” stamp, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Ilana Glazer would not allow any object short of miracle-inducing to bear her name.

Are you one of our 2%?

Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.

But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses  —  take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.

Don’t just read the Forward — invest in it. Support our work today!
