By appropriating this song title, the adult film invokes a cultural shorthand for non-superficial, affectionate love. Yet within the context of pornography, this citation becomes deeply ironic. The viewer is not seeking a “funny” valentine in the sense of humorous or imperfect; they are purchasing a highly choreographed, surgically and cosmetically optimized performance of intimacy. The “funny” is thus resignified: it refers not to comedy but to the peculiar, even absurd, disconnect between the scripted romantic setting (hearts, roses, whispered endearments) and the mechanical, transgressive nature of the sexual acts.
