Yea, the still frame isn't as funny as the clip. Now it just looks like a sweet embrace, and we all know its far from that.

LoL

Hilarious as it is - and absolute props to Matt and James for going the distance for a GOOD joke - perhaps it might be wise to ease off it? Y'know, not making such a big deal about it?

Wouldn't want to scare 'em away from doing it again. 'Cause that would be sad. Very sad. I can see them sitting in the Moonbase discussing it: "You remember what happened the LAST time we did that??"

@Brad: I've tried my very hardest to believe you DID climb down that rope. The illusion is ruined. RUINED! Seriously, though, compliments to Graham: another example of his great editting skills, specifically throughout this episode.

... although I did notice the audio change in some of the splices. Some one would sound quiet or far away, and then loud. But I'm sure that can't really be helped.

Really well done guys. This was the one I laughed the hardest at. The red hat reminded me of a cowboy video I did in high school where The only thing I could find that looked like a revolver was a hot pink squirt gun. Good thing we shot it in sepia. Again really great guys!

notomtolose - heh, my avatar is the Avatar (and some companions) from Ultima V, the first RPG I played when I was a kid. On an Apple II (!), and it came with a real cloth map and all sorts of nerdy accoutrements. So I'm right there with you on the intense long-forgotten memories.

ZOMG

-ahem-

Kudos to Matt for a great job on that one. All in all, this was an excellent Hustle; I love seeing the little character details, like the wall-staring and the gritty metaphors book. I'm so glad the crew personas are getting their time to shine. And now if you'll excuse me, I'll be in my bunk.

We were really only making fun of Mencia, for honestly being the only minority comedian I can think of with no redeeming features.
At least Martin Lawrence was in Bad Boys 2.

what about Russell Peters? all his jokes basically rely on making fun of racial stereotypes. although fairly amusing for a wile, it get very boring, very quickly.

Russel Peters is really funny though. Sure it can get old, but at least it starts funny.

I find russel peters pretty much always hilarious- the issue is that he doesn't change up his routine a whole lot.

But yeah, he's goddamn hilarious the first time you hear his bit.

It takes balls to kiss a man . . .0_o ?


Women, who aren't attracted to other women, kiss all the time to freak men out, or rather turn them on, and girls really go after it. I think it is perfectly reasonable to have two men get all into it for the sake of entertainment (Which in this case is a laugh and not the naughty entertainment provided to men by two women kissing). I mean, if Tom Selleck can do it, why can't Matt and James? If Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger can do it, why can't Matt and James? ...I'm trying to think of other examples, but men kissing doesn't really stand out in my mind so much...If that kid from Dawson's Creek can do it, why can't Matt and James? Okay.....I'm done with the rant.

*Becomes vicious dog-person*
NOBODY TOUCHES RUSSEL!!!

Sorry about that, but he's my favorite comedian! That's mostly due to our similar background and the fact that I can relate with so many of his jokes. I admit for the most part the tv specials of him are repetitive, but I've seen him do many more jokes than those (you just have to look, or go to his shows, as I have).

In summary, grrrr!

...If that kid from Dawson's Creek can do it, why can't Matt and James?

- It's a bit of a stretch to imply that all women are comfortable with that.

- Women are led to believe that men will find them more attractive if they kiss another woman. After all, it's male instinct to spread his seed far and wide, therefore more women is always better, right? Plus, it says 'I definitely like kissing, but I'm not kissing any other dudes right now.'

- Possibly it could work for men also, but I think most men are dubious of this prospect. I won't presume to speak of natural female instinct, suffice it to say that women are less famously known for polyamorous tendencies. Worse, it's male nature (which we, for the most part, gracefully overcome) to view other men as direct competition. If aroused, such instincts naturally come to the forebrain and present yet another barrier to heterosexual male makeouts.

- Since apparently it seems commonplace to you, it might be fair to guess you wouldn't mercilessly ridicule a woman for kissing other women on occasion. Certainly most hetero men would not be willing to risk the infinite puerile mocking (if not genuine shame and alienation) that would surely follow a habit of kissing other men.

- Societal norms (whether we like them or not) dictate that men pursue women more often than the other way around. Therefore, women attract men (ie. through image, which could be enhanced by showing off their sexuality), men pursue women (ie. through display of intention, not enhanced by kissing other people). I'm not making a value judgment, just stating common knowledge which suggests an answer to your question.

- Matt and James are neither 'making a statement' for social change, attempting to establish art house credibility, nor being paid vast sums of cash. These are three minor differences between them and the other men you named.

- Perhaps the most important of all! As demonstrated by many of the reactions (however lighthearted) in this very thread, guys DO NOT WANT TO SEE THAT. Going further than this would be more overtly gross and therefore less funny to most heterosexual males.

If this seems to be a failing of the male species in your eyes, please consider that men are more naturally sensitive to being aroused visually. Moreover, heterosexual men are visually aroused by physical features which are exclusive to women, which makes even rather androgynous men sexually unattractive to them (and manly men like Matt and James downright repugnant). This principle can apply even to 'enlightened' men who can appreciate an attractive male specimen under normal circumstances.

Edit: If we (or anyone else) wish(es) to take this discussion further (inevitably a pleasure, I'm sure), please let's do so in a separate topic.

Okay I believe in that case, if you had pants on, it prevented your balls from touching, therefore it isn't gay.
