The crew built an actual 11-foot-high, 30-foot-long prosthetic… um… yeah.

We’re talking, of course, about the Termite scene.

That process included building an actual 11-foot-high, 30-foot-long prosthetic penis.
Termite is already going wild.
That isn’t good when he goes to a back room with his lover (Bruce Langley).

“I want you inside me,” Termite’s man says as they snort more lines of coke.
But it’s not what viewers are thinking.
Kripke actually sees this as “a very natural evolution.”
“But then we realized that we already had blown up someone’s ass.”
That would be Translucent and his lost battle with the anal pipe bomb in season 1.
“There’s only so many orifices a person can go in.
So really, by process of elimination, you [have to] run into a urethra.”
Kripke was shocked by how few problems the executive overlords at Amazon had with this sequence.
“They were cool with it,” he promises.
Though, they did have one standard the show couldn’t cross.
“You’re not supposed to show an erect penis,” Kripke explains.
“So we had to be very careful with the design of the penis ‘cause we built it practically.
That’s a real 11-foot-high, 30-foot-long penis built at great expense.
So, anyway, it’s exhibit 7,023 why I love this job.”
“I stayed away from that set.
I didn’t feel like that was something I needed to see,” Urban admits with a laugh.
The first three episodes ofThe Boysseason 3 are currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
