Help me remember a movie with a tooth-cellphone scene.

I am trying to find a movie that probably came out in the mid to late 90s, maybe early 2000s. There is a scene in it in which the one of the characters is talking to a woman, who has a cellphone embedded in her tooth. During the scene, she gets a call and very theatrically places her tongue on the front of her teeth to answer it. She performs the same action to hang up.

Honestly, I am just looking for this scene in particular.

Does this ring any bells?

Best answer: This is Hedwig and the Angry Inch, but if I remember correctly, not the final version. I believe it's an alternate edit on the DVD special features. Andrea Martin has the tooth phone!

Weirdly, YouTube accepted “tooth phone” as a search term without trying to suggest other things. When I added hedwig, it was the first result.

It does make me wonder how often people search “tooth phone”…..
