My Uncommon Sense of Humor
So I’m bored on a Saturday Night. I decide to turn on the TV. Sure I could read a book or do some writing, but then I wouldn’t have stumbled upon the new comedy hit Dateline’s To Catch a Predator.
Yes, I’m aware that sexual molestation of minors is a serious offense. But Dateline plays the whole thing like a grown-up version of Punk’d. And it’s a struggle to decide which is funniest: the screenname’s these guys use (”marriedandlooking31313″), the excuses they use once they’ve been caught (”I was just asking for directions”) or reporter Chris Hansen reading their chat logs (”You are raising my horny level”).
But so far, my favorite line is definitely the detective asking the sex offender, “Astroglide. Is that some kind of sexual lubricant?”
I’m now writing a comedy sketch parodying this program. And yes, I’m aware that my sense of humor is a little off (although perhaps not that off since Borat made over $10,000 per theatre last night, which, for those that don’t understand Box Office, is phenomenal).
