Final Chapter in this Epic Saga

http://www.buzzfeed.com/skarlan/the-final-chapter-from-gay-men-will-marry-your-girlfriends

I found this article, and since we discussed the "Gay Men will Marry your Girlfriends" video in class, I thought this would be a nice follow up. As always, the videos were quite amusing, and here are some of my linguistic notes.

Go For It, aka Video 1

"Jazzercizing, or whatever the fuck" -by adding "whatever the fuck", the man in the video is distancing himself from the activity and is trying to show that he doesn't know what it is called. He doesn't want to to admit that he knows that Jazzercizing is because it is not seen as a "manly" activity.

"We are ripped"- this reminds me of the conversation we had in class about the different ways men can describe their physical appearance. Apparently, this man identifies as "ripped".

"Devirginized" -is that even a word?

"You find vaginas to be icky" -'icky' is a very immature word to use to talk about a mature or adult topic. Perhaps they are using it because a woman is stereo-typically more likely to use the word 'icky' in general, and gay men as perceived to have more 'feminine language'. 

We Need your Help, aka Video 2

"This is a grill...It only cooks red meat." -I found this stereotype extremely amusing-that men only cook or eat steaks. Also, everyone loves a good steak, so don't be bashing on some meat!

"How about a nice...Eggplant Parmesan" - First of all, "sensitive side to your cooking"? I was not aware that cooking had a sensitive side? Also, if steak is a problem due to it being unhealthy (which I assume is the problem, because what other problem could there be with a steak?), Eggplant Parmesan is not particularly healthy either. Nor sensitive. Maybe a mousse? Mousse sounds sensitive,

"Alright Mary Sunshine, let's go"- I found it very interesting that the gay man used a female name to refer to the straight man in a demeaning way. Apparently women can't get any support from anyone. 

*Random Dance Caveat* -The music is an Argentine Tango. One does not move their hips in an Argentine Tango. Nor plie.
