Peter's riddle "Why do women have boobs?"


Does anyone think that wasn't funny? Not to be a bigger buzzkill than Buzz Killington, but "So you got something to look at while you're talking to them" is just... true. LOL Like most stand-up comics, the delivery of his joke, as well as his laugh afterwards, was funny. But the joke itself was not. *shrugs*

I thought it was a cheap, but funny joke.

I was a preteen girl when it was originally on and me & my bro laughed at it lol

I don't think it was supposed to be funny. It was just supposed to establish him as a misogynistic pig.

reply

While being funny... Yes i agree.

But you don't mind or even see the misandry of portraying the men always as 'misogynistic pigs', as you would put it?

Also, what's so misogynistic about Peter? He's married, so he clearly loves women. He loves boobs, so he even loves women on a particular level in addition to the more general one. I see no hatred of women - if anything, he's equalist or equalitarian; women deserve the same treatment as men.

How badly men are treated in this show doesn't seem to phase you at all. But if boobs are mentioned and a good explanation is given to admiring them, it's suddenly some kind of misogyny?

On the subject of Peter's delivery, the old voice acting was much better.

reply

Wasn't meant to be.

You seem to have forgotten that Peter is an idiot. Jokes don't need to be clever or funny to make an idiot laugh. Besides, the point was just to show how he viewed women, not to make us laugh.
