Like the Boys will be Girls and Girls will Be Boys videos, this parody swaps gender roles. Similarly to the other videos, it makes sweeping generalizations about women and men. It claims women all watch romantic movies, over-think nice gestures from a man, steal french fries, and want to 'take things slow,' while men have an awkward response to "I love you," never listen to what their girlfriend is talking about, check out other girls, finish too fast ( and claim that this "never happens" to them), and fart in bed.
I think such videos make people laugh because they are such an over exaggerated portrayal of reality but also because the actions of the individuals in the videos do not correspond with the gendered behavior and language we expect them to have, that we find it odd and silly.
