FunnyorDie has another gay marriage video up, this one from comedian and actor Michael Rappaport (you might remember that he had a pretty interesting gay storyline on his sitcom The War at Home a while back).
The joke here is pretty edgy ... does it work for you?
I loved The War at Home when it was on (hey, Fox, can we have that back instead of Sit Down, Shut Up?), and hated to see it go. When I saw this earlier today, I wasn't sure if I liked it, but had to admit it was creative. And actually, I kind of liked the humor, I just didn't understand why we had to endure the endlist list of credits at the beginning of the piece. That could be why I didn't find it that funny - if that's part of his schitck, then I guess it fits. I don't know his stand up, so I just thought it took away from the actual joke.
nothing wrong with this piece, except me....sometimes it takes me a while to get a joke....so this would be one of those times.
he's ranting how his wife is gay and he has to pay gay alimony. ok....?
WHAT? is there a double meaning in this? is he making fun of how 'gay' alimony is in the first place? is he saying that if his ex wife or something got married to a woman, he wouldn't have to pay alimony?
yes, i am stupid. i will wait for someone to explain the message.
It's the: "is he saying that if his ex wife or something got married to a woman, he wouldn't have to pay alimony?" bit. Basically, if his wife could marry her lesbian partner, he wouldn't have to give her money anymore. But Prop 8 stopped that.
The joke itself is funny, but the manner in which it was told, not so much.
I have no idea who that guy is (I haven't watched any of the media he lists at the beginning) but it was pretty easy for me to understand the joke. I thought he made a great point.
I guess the joke was ok, but the delivery was kind of long and not as funny. I didn't laugh the first time he said "gay alimony," but if I had, I doubt I still would have been after the fifth and sixth times :)
I just loved the Gaythering Storm video on FunnyOrDie though.
