Masturbation on the television is often depicted in a humourous tone. The League of Gentlemen is typical of this. The character who is obssesed with toads often mentions masturbation to his wife's nephew, Benjamin, who is staying with them. In the first episode of season one after he has explained to his nephew that "In this house we don't masturbate" the wife returns with a cup of tea and says "Everything hunkydory. Good. I'm so glad. Seamen is such a persistant stain."In the second episode the uncle says to Benjamin who is just waking up "Any tissues you need to dispose of?"In episode 4 Benjamin's cousins, Radcliffe and Chloe, who are about ten years of age blackmail Benjamin by suggesting that if he does not play games with them they will tell their father that they caught him "shaking hands with the governor of love" and they know how to make it sound convincing.
The subsequent clip is also from episode 4 of season one and you have to wait right until towards the end of the clip for the punchline on what will happen to you if you masturbate.
