River City Rocker Posted October 17, 2004 Report Posted October 17, 2004 Well, she'd watch the Three Stooges, which makes her unusual to begin with. I'm not a fan, mind you, but most women I know have a VISCERAL hatred. However, the idea of a serious discussion of the lack of reality in the Three Stooges seems like it has the potential for great comedy. I had to twist her arm into doing so, once we had run out of options of stuff to watch. Before then, she'd always shriek "NO! All they do is HIT each other!" Fortunately, I do have a female friend who is fanatical about the Stooges. That's how we met, really, when I commented elsewhere about how cool I thought it was to see a girl admitting she was a Stoogeaholic. With my last girlfriend, it was easy to persuade her to watch certain comedies. She definitely had no problem with Python (except for The Cycling Tour episode) or MST3K, although she would overanalyze certain scenes that she just could not suspend her disbelief over. The Stooges were an effort. But there was no way in hell she was going to sit and watch South Park, no sir! -Ben
Guest Nanks Posted October 17, 2004 Report Posted October 17, 2004 The one advantage to unfunny chick friends is that if you burn them they rarely if ever have a good comeback so you inevitably win every exchange.
Guest The Shadow Behind You Posted October 17, 2004 Report Posted October 17, 2004 Girls always have the "well yeah...I faked it! all of them!" card.
Guest MikeSC Posted October 18, 2004 Report Posted October 18, 2004 Girls always have the "well yeah...I faked it! all of them!" card. That's when you unleash the "I don't care!" card. Which, at least, is undeniably true. -=Mike
Lando Griffin Posted October 18, 2004 Report Posted October 18, 2004 That brings up a good joke. Q: How do you make a woman have an orgasm? A: Who cares?
Guest MikeSC Posted October 18, 2004 Report Posted October 18, 2004 That brings up a good joke. Q: How do you make a woman have an orgasm? A: Who cares? It's funny 'cause it's true. -=Mike
Giuseppe Zangara Posted October 18, 2004 Author Report Posted October 18, 2004 That wasn't funny at all, actually.
Guest Nanks Posted October 18, 2004 Report Posted October 18, 2004 Seconded. In fact every post since my last has been a waste of keystrokes.

Star Ocean 3 Posted October 18, 2004 Report Posted October 18, 2004 It's Q: Why do women fake orgasms? A: Because they think we care.
Nighthawk Posted October 18, 2004 Report Posted October 18, 2004 Q: Why do men say they don't care? A: A defense mechanism to mask their inadequacy.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted October 18, 2004 Report Posted October 18, 2004 The Stooges are so misunderstood. Fuck the Marx Brothers. Well, not Groucho, he was good, but the rest of them. Even though only 2/3 of the various stooges over the years were good, they're still the best old school comedy team, bar none. Man, whatever. Harpo was the king of body language and Chico played "wily sleaze" to perfection.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted October 18, 2004 Report Posted October 18, 2004 The stooges were the shit too, except Joe, but who cares about him anyway?
The Czech Republic Posted October 18, 2004 Report Posted October 18, 2004 I grew up watching Three Stooges on WPWR 50 in Chicago, on Sunday nights. For me, I only like Larry-Moe-Curly. Shemp I can tolerate, and it's just not the same with Joe. And then there's Curly Joe. Yeesh. But I prefer the Marx Brothers because I have an appreciation for Groucho's rapier-sharp wit. Also, he and my late great-grandfather (who represents my Jewish heritage) look almost exactly alike.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted October 18, 2004 Report Posted October 18, 2004 I don't like the handsome one. He's like Joe Marx.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted October 18, 2004 Report Posted October 18, 2004 Quick: Favorite Stooges and Favorite Marx Brothers Movies/shorts/moments. Stooges: Taxi driver-"Where to?" Curly-"Egypt!" and the car pulls up in the desert with four flat tires. Close second goes to WWII propaganda Stooges where they dressed Moe up like Hitler and made him king of Moronica, or some shit. Marx Brothers-A Night at the Opera. Hotel room scene where they move the rooms around.
AboveAverage484 Posted October 19, 2004 Report Posted October 19, 2004 I think my generation will be the one where cooking as an everyday thing done by the woman of the house is permanently eliminated.
Guest T®ITEC Posted October 20, 2004 Report Posted October 20, 2004 This has something to do with the downfall of society, doesn't it?
Sass Posted October 20, 2004 Report Posted October 20, 2004 Along with that, the final downfall of society will be when KJ is elected President.
The Czech Republic Posted October 20, 2004 Report Posted October 20, 2004 I don't like the handsome one. He's like Joe Marx. NOBODY liked Zeppo. And what was the deal with Gummo? Actually, Groucho sans makeup looked a lot like Zeppo. My favorite is Horsefeathers.
The Czech Republic Posted October 20, 2004 Report Posted October 20, 2004 Along with that, the final downfall of society will be when KJ is elected President. With an inaugural mixer coordinated by Vice President UseTheSledgehammerUh. Then with them in charge, the United States will become Europe's bitch just for the sake of supplying them with comedic fodder.
Nighthawk Posted October 20, 2004 Report Posted October 20, 2004 Close second goes to WWII propaganda Stooges where they dressed Moe up like Hitler and made him king of Moronica, or some shit. That was before Chaplin's Great Dictator, by the way. My favorite short was Uncivil Warriors (you can probably guess which one that was by the title), and my favorite scene was everything from when Larry impersonates Moe's father until the end of that one. They were hitting on all cylinders all the way through. Larry is my favorite stooge, by the way, but I'm probably the only one you'll meet in your life. I like Shemp and Curly equally.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted October 20, 2004 Report Posted October 20, 2004 I'm a Moe kind of guy, but everybody likes Curly. Hey, actually, Curly should be the mascot for your ice cream and french fries store, since everyone likes those things too. Curly's fries. I get 50%
