Cunts and Morons

The other night Sara and I were watching TV, and she pointed something out to me - in virtually every commercial featuring a married couple, the wife was a total cunt and the husband was a borderline-retarded moron. And she's right. Just pay a bit more attention the next time a commercial with a married couple comes on, and you'll see - what's depicted isn't romance and friendship (unless it's an ED drug commercial), what's depicted is a strange, adversarial relationship in which the smart and evil female is constantly thwarting her toddler-brained, good-natured dufus husband's attempts at fun. For example, I took the trouble of transcribing a recent Budweiser commercial, word-for-word exactly for real seriously:

THE HUSBAND SITS ON A COUCH DRINKING A BEER

THE WIFE WALKS IN

WIFE
Did you do the errand!

HUSBAND
But beer.

WIFE
(glares at husband)

THEIR DOG WALKS IN WEARING A FOOTBALL JERSEY

HUSBAND
(shrugs helplessly and then falls off the roof which he is suddenly on)

WIFE
I ceaselessly plot to thwart enjoyment!

THE END


Crazy, right?
