you have to have something that blends with the gnarly with this guy, he's not your average Johnny Carson sort of weasel, he's kind of asexual although I think one day he'll admit to being a gay blade and that'll be the end of that, not that it's important we know his orientation (really, here comes the old adage 'who gives a fuck/" but in our day and age, it's kind of limiting if you're going for the gay audience and the straight audience and everyone inbetween...tosh doesn't quite operate that way as a comic, no he's like the ten year old kid like one of my four brothers looking at the odd scene he's interpreting for the humorous content and while he's over sucking his thumb, he definitely knows it's there if he needs to do it...and that's his powers of observation and innocence all wrapped into one package being himself...a good guy...one who takes the blame for being himself and doesn't let on that he's been hurt by a cruel public because he'd be the first one to say to that 'who gives a fuck' and although I don't know that he uses much profanity in his act, he does keep the wide eyed innocence in there with some glib anecdotes that keep his audience amused, young men like my son who enjoy his ambivalence about gender and kind of a crusader in terms of finding out what's funny in today's society...what's not funny is what should be funny which is those school shootings and how to weed out the characters responsible for these otracities..atrocities...boy I couldn't even spell it for a minute
ok, weeding out school shooters, psychology 101 for beginners
lecturer, rotating psych major with a major hard on for Karen Horney (I just like the name, he says smacking his lips together)...students are in a round table, this is limited to 15 students, could be any age but there's one or two coffeeskinned in the bunch because relativity demands it...and there's a bowl of popcorn in the middle of the table and wise guy lecturer knd of picks up a handfull and lets it drop on the table..
now students, here we go, imagine this popcorn is bullets, aimed at your head by some wildeyed maniac that watched too much television violence and thinks you can buy new brains at walmart
go for it, what do you do?
student 1: eat the popcorn
lecturer: maybe, but it's not buttered so if you leave on the table it won't get things greasy
student 2: ping 'em in the head with your slingshot, kick off balance with a hard rock to the crotch
lecturer: passive aggressive works, it might even improve your ping pong score
student 3: why do we have to be the ones to figure this out
student 4: shut the fuck up
student 5: I think it's awful all the kids with guns, I mean really
lecturer: yep...totally mainstream gun lobbyists get all they want from the feds
student 6: how about alcohol firearms and tobacco getting tougher and leaving us psych students out of the loop entirely
lecturer: my kinda guy...but really, there's a reason Clementine went to school with a Mauser not bowser and splattered brains because she was a) not having her period b) broke up with Schlomo c) her dad molested her
Lectuer: clemintine went to school with a gun because she thought it was sneaky fun and she was pissed about something more important...any ideas?
Student 7: not a clue dude, really, we just got into the mind as a subject, how would we have the slightest clue about this shit?
Lecturer: my point exacatly, you're about as fresh on the topic as any federal bureau is going to get for insight, forge on
Student 8: It's usually the weasly pimply guys that get a beef they have to resolve with violence because a) they have no dick b) they have no balls c) they are pussies (big laughs all around the table from these enlightened remarks)
Student 9: Ok, so Engish Lit is not your forte but talking about dicks and balls and pussies is something you can relate to, I get it, you're an arse! yes...
Student 8: takes one to know one, Fido
Student 9: remind me how we got into this class at the same time
Lecturer: shut the fuck up
Student 10: really, all the world needs is a little more love
Student 11: we got the dicks and the pussies covered, and the arses...is that the only thing on the menu with these active shooter goons? I mean really what motivates these creeps, seeing people fall down dead? what gives with that?
Lecturer: a student after my own heart, have some popcorn
Student 12: I'm with him, we just got started on this class and we're solving the big question of the active shooter, what can we do about it? I mean really.
Lecturer: it's what is called a round table yum yum...have some popcorn, now has everyone had a turn talking?
students nod their heads in agreement, dip in to the popcorn, take turns shooting it and spreading it around the room...lecturer walks away from the table hands out pencil turning in his fingers
Lecturer: ok class...picture this...Buddy BigBoy has a mean daddy that tells him every day he's a pathetic wimp...how you think Buddy Big Boy gonna go through life hearing that dull message? he gonna get mad, he gonna get even...he gonna go get the newspaper for Daddio? what he gonna do?
Student 4: probably kill the cocksucker at some point, wouldn't you?
Lecturer yeah, negative reinforcement does what?
Student 8: adds a layer of poopoo to the shorts
