It’s been years since anybody could say something that was vaguely related to size, longevity, prowess, positions, food, literature or art without someone somewhere following it up with the words “That’s what she said”. Don’t get me wrong I enjoy a good old “that’s what she said” from time to time, but can we let it rest for at least fourty two minutes?
I was visiting a friend last weekend and heard the saying “that’s what she said” more than thirty times over the course of two days from at least twelve different people, and I heard them being referred to as hilarious by their peers. That being said, most of these people constantly quoted, among others, Family Guy, Frat pack films, Dane Cook, and skits of a rising star from the YouTube generation. Now these people who quote them, well they are considered hilarious. Well you know what? You’re not you douche. Stand-up comedians are funny, the writers and performers of film and T.V. are funny, hell even a clown can be funny when they aren’t scaring youth. That being said I must be honest it is just fine to quote, but add something to your repertoire. Have an original thought from time to time. You know what? You may have to come face to face with the fact that you just might not be a naturally funny person? Perhaps your talents lay elsewhere?
In the end you have to ask yourself, what the fuck hasn’t she said? So let’s turn off our TV and do something with our lives. Pick up an instrument, write a book, draw a picture, make the next medical break through and let us hit the books and create something on our own merits and stop trying to be socially accepted through comedy. So next time you are with your friends let the funny ones be funny, and maybe you’ll bring the intellect or the culture to the mix.

God bless your box, she does say to much, have we ever considered, maybe not qouting sitcoms in our lives? or turning off the t.v.... I wait now for the angry mob to reply to my ridiculous comment above... no one will ever believe me, your lives revolve around a box, and the things in the box, the t.v. is a box...your lives are becoming the things
ReplyDeleteThis is far too true, its nice very once in a while to have a decently funny conversation that is actually original. I get sick of hearing the same jokes over and over because I heard the comedian say it, then I heard 6 other people quote it regularly.
