Netflix’s ‘Obliterated’: Shelley Hennig, Nick Zano, and a Camel Deliver One of the Weirdest Sex Scenes of 2023

There’s no shortage of sex, drugs, and shenanigans in Netflix’s raunchy new action comedy Obliterated. Created by Cobra Kai’s Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald, the series centers on an elite special forces team who, after a wild night of partying, have seven hours to find a nuke and save the world while massively hungover (and/or still intoxicated).

The first episode includes a wild sex scene between mismatched squad leaders Ava Winters (Shelley Hennig) and Chad McKnight (Nick Zano) that hilariously concludes with the team’s “tech girl,” Maya Lerner (Kimi Rutledge), recreating Ali Larter’s iconic whipped cream bikini scene from Varsity Blues.

Is that the craziest sex scene in the series? Not even close, friend. The penultimate episode of Season 1 (“Make It Rain”) earned that honor. Winters and McKnight once again give in to temptation, but this time they’re not alone. As Aerosmith’s “Sweet Emotion” plays, the two begin to have sex in their Vegas hotel room. Amidst the ecstasy, the two are greeted by… Joey the camel.

Vegas, am I right?

“I don’t think I can come with a camel staring at me,” Winters tells McKnight. Ever the gentleman, he spins her around but is also distracted by Joey, whose real name is Skittles by the way (thanks, Netflix press notes!). Perfect name for a camel. Love it. No notes.

Winters and McKnight’s impromptu threeway is eventually interrupted by Maya and the team, with Trunk delivering this pitch-perfect zinger:

Hopefully, the old adage rings true: What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

All eight episodes of Obliterated are now streaming on Netflix.
