This blow-by-blow account of a colonoscopy procedure (and the prep) is butt-clenchingly funny
For anyone who has been through a colonoscopy procedure this TikTok from Ben Affleck Is An Ok Actor is hilariously relatable, and we salute her for her honesty in the telling of the tale and for showing people that there’s humour to be found in a common medical examination which can sometimes be life-saving.
Thanks to I Am Ken for sharing on Twitter.
Colonoscopy truth
If you’ve had one-you know it.

We’ll now have a quick and painless examination of the comments.

Spot on.
Had one recently.
The tech was amazing though.
Reminded me of Chevy Chase in Fletch, who, as the procedure begins, starts singing “MoooooOOOOOON river…” Then asks, “you got the whole fist in there doc?”— The Adventures of Lavender (@FarRightThugs) July 29, 2025

It’s not this bad. I’ve had 3 colonoscopies. There are other prep options than what she describes. The best part is the fentanyl lol It’s over before you know it and in the recovery area.

Hilarious account and spot on. I had mine today. Without sedation! The prep is gruesome but the peace of mind justifies the whole exercise.

While the prep isn’t fun I’ve had way worse experiences at the doctor. If you’re at risk or over 50 get this done, it could save your life.

lol, that was funny, my prep wasn’t that bad, but the drink is totally nasty. They found two polyps and burned them out in my tail pipe and I’m all good and ready to go.

Had my first colonoscopy at the beginning of the year, wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought it would be and that includes the preparation for it.
This girl beautifully sums up the whole process in a very entertaining and ACCURATE summary.
I give it and my colonoscopy a 5 out of 5.
