What episode is this?

[EssentialOption]

@ThisBeautifulWorld1 I think it's from Series E episode 8

@llelea He is an acquired taste... Though I do believe he is being facetious here.. He thrives on somewhat inappropriate humour.

"If you don't like how she looks now you're not going to like her when she's sporting a shiner, now, are you?"

@EssentialOption

he thrives on being funny

@theporksickle saying "she's a man" might as well

[theporksicle]

Wouldn't saying, "I don't havce a wife" get you out of the catch 22 question?

Is it weird that I know the answer to Stephen's question through reading Terry Pratchett novels?

TRiG.

He's not likening women to cars at all and if anyone thinks that or that he said it in a 'shocking' way he's not. He's literally saying if you love something so much, why would you damage it? Kinda like shooting yourself in the foot... The only comparison he really made was that women should be loved MORE than cars, which is the reason he mentioned the fact we wouldn't key our cars.

If you wouldn't damage you really like, you wouldn't damage something you really love. THAT'S the logic he used

@TheDrakaan The point is that he always relies on the shock factor not wit or intelligence and it's boring.

@llelea

I find it amazing that people STILL think Jimmy seriously holds the views of the JOKES he tells. Fucking hell.

[JPVeigaaaa]

@TheDrakaan The guy who played "Chef" in South Park, Isaac Hayes, is a wonderful example of that.

No problem joking with AIDS, black people, Christianity, mentally handicapped people, feminists, etc...

But say something offensive about Scientology and he suddenly thinks the show has gone too far. Then he resigned.

Too bad Chef was my favorite character in South Park. =(
