Clever enough. (none / 0)

Could have been completely done without the cursing, though, other than maybe the line "I'm just some f*cking guy."  That was needed to juice up the line.  But otherwise, the cursing took away from the rest of the "subtext as text" laughs, rather than enhancing them (i.e. if the abbreviation BS had been used throughout, the comedy would have lost nothing.)

So I give it an 8, "which is just an arbitrary number designed to make it seem like I have a smart, reliable rating system for a comedy bit I have no particular expertise judging."

huh, prude (none / 0)

And so you would banish the four-letter words,
whose meaning is never obscure,
The Angles, the Saxons, those hardy old birds,
were vulgar, obscene, and impure.
And yet you take pride in the weaseling phrase,
that never quite says what it means,
You'd rather be known for your hypocrite ways,
than as vulgar, impure, and obscene
