Some women enjoy seeing men masturbate, and many do not. The joke goes something like: "what if she said, thanks for asking, but no, I don't really want to see that." Are you wondering where the joke is? Me too. He asks if she likes it and she, like other women, "always" says "ooooh yeah". Another example - he brings a girl home and she starts masturbating, and he does too. Girls and young boys could probably relate. Therefore, I chuckled at the jokes, although I was thinking that it had nothing to do with any reality that I personally experience. Sure, I cry at certain things, but I never need a "good cry." I am not trying to sound tough here, it's just that I don't know any adult men that come home from work, and just start bawling because they wanted to cry their hearts out all day long. Many other jokes just missed the mark for me, such as the bit about crying - and the implication that "everyone" needs a good cry. Always? Really? His over-the-top descriptions of how men and women argue seemed completely false. His "observations" about relationships seemed like they were made by someone who had been in maybe 2 relationships, neither of which lasted more than 6 months - yet he used the words women "always" do such-and-such, men "always" do whatever. Most of the jokes seemed to be the kind that a teenager might make up. However, overall this just didn't do it for me. First, the compliments: it was interesting to see him perform "in the round", his physicality is admirable, and his ability to go from extremely clean (or even child-like) jokes to extremely vulgar jokes shows a nice range. On the whole, I thought this was pretty lame, but I can see how certain people might enjoy it - e.g., Catholic college kids, anyone under 18, or women (or gay men) who think Dane Cook is hot. Ted's Evaluation - 3 of 3: Worth watching. Look closely at the design of the pattern. If you are interested in who you are, surely you are interested in why you laugh. But it hardly matters because our investment in the story is deep enough for us to laugh at less clever comic devices. He's less talented at turning that attention into the sort of startling twists or insights that constitute great humor. What works here is that the man does draw us unto his stories. Its the Bill Cosby style of storytelling. These aren't jokes they're life, spun in a way that we have to laugh. If we laugh at things, we clump them together as if they had something in common. For instance, we have this category of "hobbies," a strange way to organize things we choose to do. We clump things together because of characteristics that show we do not understand.
