A Woman's Guide to Woodworking - Building an End Table

Paybacksays...

I think she got help making that. Not to sound dismissive or anything, but I think that was beyond her. Probably had her mom help.

transmorphersays...

I got the feeling that she's just an actor in a satire video, not an actual carpenter....

Paybacksays...

I have no doubt in my mind she's actually performing the build, I was just trying to be facetious and say, because she's female, she needs help, but then do an about face and come in with the zinger about her MOTHER doing the helping. I'm not actually a misogynist.

Asmosays...

Is it the bit where she ineptly tries to be ironic by adding on pointless bits like "how to apply mascara"? Maybe the silly double entendres about screwing etc? Or the flip flop between "I'm just a helpless woman who can't do anything" to "Fuck sake people, of course I can do this"..?

Irony is only irony when it reverses expectations. Perhaps this would be hilarious to a person who honestly believes that she is the ditsy centerfold she spends half the video making out to be. Maybe if she maintained some sort of constant narrative rather than flipping between polar opposites, it wouldn't have landed so flat for me.

That being said, it's all subjective. I don't view women as incapable, subservient morons, so attempts to play up that view as the predominant one don't really get much traction with me...

She can change a tyre and make a decent end table, but she's a shit comedian.
