So here I am, sitting at home on a Saturday night wallowing in my own crapulence and participating in video game trivia. I like to leave the TV on because I enjoy the background noise it provides, and it comes with the added benefit of drowning out, albeit barely, the repetitive music coming from the living room, where Joshums is playing FFVII. I flip through the channels for a moment, looking for anything that might provide suitable viewing in between questions, and finally decide on Comedy Central. Perhaps not the best choice, but there's at least SOME level of assurance that it won't suck horribly, something I can't say for any other channel's weekend line-up. (Unless Chappelle's Show comes on, that is -- thankfully, it didn't). Jeff Foxworthy is yapping away and I'm only half-paying attention until he gets into this little spiel about women being different from men. YOU DON'T SAY! I usually enjoy these little routines comedians fall back on because, hey, being a man, I can relate somewhat to what's being said. Unfortunately, Jeff Foxworthy ruins what is quite possibly the least-easy-to-ruin fallback comedians have.
I'll give him credit for not asking if you've ever noticed how men always leave the toilet seat up -- that's it, that's the joke -- but he does come up with some pretty ridiculous crap. You'll have to forgive me for paraphrasing here...
Men and women can say the same thing to each other and come away with entirely different interpretations
Okay, sure, men and women think differently. That's not too bad.
Men drive like THIS, while women drive like THIS
You'll just have to imagine him making hilariously polar gestures for each sex here.
Men have names like Alex, while women have names like Sarah!
Okay, this is pretty damn lame.
Did you ever notice that, while men have penises, women have vaginas?!
GASP! This is news to me!
Please, Jeff Foxworthy, just die. You aren't funny. At all.
