 Simple Show explains pick-up lines through the ages. Meet Keith. He sees someone very attractive at a party and decides to truly impress her with a pick-up line. He walks over and says, Do you maybe know karate? Because your body is really kicking. Unfortunately, Stacey is not impressed. Keith makes a hasty retreat. He doesn't get how his awesome pick-up line could have been rejected. He figures that since the dawn of man, pick-up lines have been used to woo the hearts of women as a way to start a conversation, make a great first impression and perhaps lead to something more. Keith wonders, How have pick-up lines evolved through the ages? For starters, he imagines cavemen must have had it easy as they were men of few words. Caveman Keith would have just said, Urgh, as a pick-up line. And if that did not work, there was always option B. In medieval times, pick-up lines were probably not even needed. For men of honour and valour, actions spoke louder than words. Keith the Knight just had to rescue the damsel in distress. But then again, Keith always saw himself more as a lover, not a fighter. Perhaps he would have found his place in the golden age of pick-up lines, the Renaissance, an era of romance and amour, where each pick-up line was an intricate poem, like every second of every hour, without you is like a thousand knives stabbing me in the heart. How long for the... Urgh, maybe not. Keith then feels that perhaps they got it right in the 50s, at the age of gentlemen, when doors were held and manners mattered. A great pick-up line would have been, May I have this dance? Today, that line would be more like, I must be dancing with the devil, because sir, you're as hot as hell. In fact, Keith starts to wonder if pick-up lines have evolved, or actually become worse through the ages. He begins to doubt that pick-up lines even work, as he just ends up feeling awkward and embarrassed every time. Keith realizes that perhaps the best pick-up line that has endured through the ages is to simply walk up to a person and say, Hi. Because keeping things simple is often the best way to go.
