“Weird” is a word usually reserved for our world and that is precisely why it’s so fucking funny to hear it in theirs. Like on “King of Queens” after Carrie sold her hair, Doug goes, “You look like a… weird… boy.” (it’s here at 0:44) Holy shit did it’s out-of-placeness provide intense hilariosity. It was like hearing your dad say, “Just chill it man” instead of “chill out” or “I was blown out” instead of “blown away” (can he not get the “out” in the right spot please?) We’re the ones who say things are weird when we can’t come up with anything else to say. Like when a car full of girls asks you to hop in and you realize after a few blocks that they’re actually whores who are hustling you so everyone starts yelling “TOO WEIRD TOO WEIRD TOO WEIRD.” Normal people don’t have stories like that.
This is why I spit out my lemon cocktail when the new Just for Men commercial said, “Your beard is weird.” How fucking funny is that? To call someone’s beard weird is so honest and real it should never come out of a normal person’s mouth. No wonder the Just for Men series is such a TV Carnage staple. Shit is comedy gold.

Being straight edge as a kid is a great way to rebel against: puking, getting pregnant, and wrapping your parent’s car around a tree.

also my dad doesn’t say goofy shit like that cause he’s a grown man with 3 kids who talks like a grown man with 3 kids.

you’ve just seen this now?!?!?!?!?!
02.03.09 at 2:35 am
i’m going to watch this for a third time, but i never finish. once he gets his groove back i’m over it. just the first fifteen seconds or so.
02.03.09 at 3:33 am
yeah okay, the beard is weird part is good, but it’s when emett goes, “Oh, it’s baaaaad…” He does it all wistfully. That part is the part that feels honest to me. Yeah.
02.03.09 at 3:34 am
Haha, I always liked that part of King of Queens, too. And how Deacon always calls Kevin stuff like “nephew.”
“Oh, it’s baaaaad…”

Gavin,
This commercial is 2 yrs old.

Comedy is funnier when it’s not being analyzed by gavin and dissected in terms of delivery or how out of character. Yes, you hang out with comedians and are trying to be funny yourself. We get it. Now can you please hide the strings and preserve some of the magic? At least your comedian friends have the wisdom to do that.

You should have had david cross edit this for you.

Everyone I know says weird, and I’m a goddamn accountant.

@jetpack:
No, because anal-ysis itself is funny and you suck.
02.03.09 at 1:40 pm
This was so boring that I’m actually going to start working now. Thanks a lot.

This us against them shit is stupid. It either needs to be more obviously retarded or more true to be worth reading, but as it is it’s like listening to 14 year olds at the mall food court talk to each other.
02.03.09 at 7:16 pm
king of queens??? really???
02.03.09 at 9:22 pm
this commercial has been on tv for over a year
02.04.09 at 12:45 am
100 bucks says Gavin will use this when he’s 55.
02.04.09 at 10:18 am
‘Hilariosity’?
That’s like saying weird in the wrong place.
02.04.09 at 2:39 pm
Why are people bluntly stating that this is an old commercial like their comment is some sort of scathing remark. I didn’t realize this was a news site.
