Heckler Gets Stomped

Excellent use of the Socratic method.

to be fair, she almost certainly objected to the idea that being pregnant and giving birth takes less effort than ordering a pizza.

his exact wording was that it takes more effort to order a pizza than to have a kid. i understand the joke fine, but pregnancy, wanted/planned or not is quite a bit more effort than ordering pizza- and thats without addressing the actual effort it takes to "have a kid". i think its normal for a mother to get defensive with this joke, and it does seem like he was fishing for the response.

That's why the joke is funny. The absurd juxtaposition of pizza delivery and childbirth with the proposition that the pizza delivery is the more difficult act is why this is comedy.

No one would laugh if someone got on stage and said, "Boy, childbirth sure is harder than pizza delivery".

I believe the intention of the joke, which was not lost on most people, is that it takes less effort to 'make' a child than to order a pizza.

Disagree? Next time your wife is 9 months pregnant and complaining tell her to suck it up. I mean, she didn't hear you complaining when you did your part. Sure your back hurt, you were tired and you just wanted it to end...but were you demanding a foot rub? I think not.

I love it, watch @ 1:50 when he subtly flips her off for ten seconds! lol....

I'm sure it may just be due to how he's holding the mic, but I like to believe it was for the reason stated above .

diegosays...

exactly, and she didnt get the joke, got offended and set herself up for a takedown so perfect it was almost planned. shes a dumbass, never argued otherwise, but I understand why she took offense.
