To be clear, "presumptious"

To be clear, "presumptious" is a guy's joke, usually to gross out other guys who wouldn't go that far. And I tell it better than Clay, perhaps because I'm not as stoopid, or maybe cause they don't think I'd be screwing my sister.

In reply to I think this one is way

Comes to mind that maybe it is a male/female difference this way: women who have spent time in the bar pickup scene have all had had to deal with guys like the Clay character, really that disgusting. that try to pick you up with gross locker room and macho crap, as if they think you would find it attractive. And there might be a Anita Hill type effect going on, where guys go: really, guys actually do that to you?. There are a lot more of them out there doing that than less clueless men suspect. Men talk like Scaramucci with other men but they don't use that on women. But there are also a lot of clueless guys out there who do. Women see a lot of Andrew Dice Clay's in their life, so it's not as shocking, just: oh that, yuck.

Edit to add: and yes, the Trump "pussy" tape is exactly that. It is not amusing, it signals that this guy is: a real ass, doesn't get it. Hence the huge reaction with the women's protests after inauguration, even non-feminist. That is what signaled that he is that kind of guy more than anything else. The whole beauty pageant thing was another clue but not as strong. The billionaire taking of trophy wives is not the same thing, not all women react so viscerally to that, it is not signifying that: this guy is a clueless disgusting oaf that doesn't get it.

I think this one is way funnier than that one and also more over the line, maybe it's funnier because of that. Makes clearer why I don't find Clay funny, his stuff is just standard guido type talk. I react like this: I don't get why people are laughing, haven't they met any stupid oafs that talk like this all the time?

Yes, that's the one - perhaps the only one I heard of his, perhaps the only one I liked. YMMV. Worried now that I should be writing in caps all the time, or perhaps cap-bold-italics...

Side note, I found the joke I mention on Reddit.com/jokes. They've got a great line for forums above the the sign in box, with the old Microsoft Clippie character asking: It looks like you're writing unsubstantiated nonsense. Would you like to turn on all caps?

In reply to Do you know Clay's

I don't know it, went googling, not sure. The one with the underage punchline?

(I don't know a lot of his jokes because I haven't listened much because mostly he doesn't make me laugh, not because it's dirty.)

Do you know Clay's "presumptious" joke? Used to be one of my standards until I realized people had trouble talking to me afterwards. Okay, that didn't stop me either...

I definitely see a very strong element of white DooWop culture in Scaramucci's rant. I was reminded of this by Obey bringing in the word pomposity, which made me think of Steve Miller's famous created phrase pompatous of love, the whole song "The Joker" riffs off DooWop culture some. New Joisy does have this deep in it, too, and I think PP's reference to Chris Christie also very apt. This is where Bruce Springsteen and Andrew Dice Clay cross paths: up yours, motherfucker!

You actually got this right, very sophisticated and subtle understanding of greater NYC subcultures. He is actually not Tom Wolfe's Sherman McCoy of Park Avenue, Manhattan. That is WASP world, white shoe, one step above. What people don't get about "Wall Street" is many more Wall Streeters are slick tough Long Island gangsta types than the McCoy bond salesmen. Middle Long Island is not white shoe, even the Hamptons aren't. Long Island is all varying levels of nouveau riche, classier the farther east it goes, but still nouveau riche. Old money WASP's of Upper East Side Manhattan ("Park Avenue") mostly do not have second homes on Long Island, unless they are very old inherited estates, is considered tacky. Conversely, a Scaramucci type would never get lost in the Bronx driving from JFK airport to Manhattan, he would know all the exits and which ones to avoid.

Edit to add: should clarify the tacky thing.The eastern half of Long Island is not tacky looking at all, what is called "the Hamptons" is extremely beautiful territory, I myself think of it as heavenly. The ocean light beautiful suffuses everything, everything is manicured to perfection to maintain a small town picture book feel, not overdone. Somewhere in the middle of the island you cross over from McMansion world to heaven and you know it. I haven't read where the Scaramucci house is, but if that is where it is, I totally get a woman so lucky as to have a place there not wanting to give up life there for D.C. With major money, it can what Martha Stewart calls a "Fantin Latour moment" continuously. And also sheltered from all the crap that it takes to make that kind of money.

Where the scatological merges seamlessly with sophomoric entitlement?
