why is every woman on tv smart with a dumb fat husband

[b i o n i c]

seriously...

jim belushi... the belush - that fuck... if he was a regular joe he'd be bangin hoes off tenth avenue at three in the morning to get action

that other fuck who plays a ups driver, king of queens. that dude would never get laid without his fat wallet and hair transplants.

oh, yeah.. i forgot. tv says all men are dumb slobs. right.

[beastiegirrl101]

Gee, um..I dont know maybe because they love them regardless of looks?

[b i o n i c]

but they're dumb

[beastiegirrl101]

it's also TV.

[ScarySquirrel]

To give people like the male population of the BBMB hope.

[abcdefz]

It's amazing how many women I see with guys who seem to be out of their league.

The one that killed me most was this couple that was at my old church. She was HOT and smart* and a real sweetheart; he was an ugly fuck cousin of a certain famous local musician, and a total asshole. But he was also cheating with these two other women, and I was like, "WHAT THE FUCK!?" How could ONE woman want him -- and a hot one at that -- let alone TWO.

Must be a good provider.

[b i o n i c]

well thats what im talking about, why do they write shit that way.

im putting a hammer through my tv when i get home


my dad is fat-ish, so i'll probably be too, but at least we;re not dumb. what hope? i'm not hoping for a woman who will love me for me being dumb

[b i o n i c]

fat wallet

[beastiegirrl101]

What's his name, Kevin Smith? I think he's a total cutie...but I like bigger dudes anyway, the dumbness though would have to be elimanated.

[b i o n i c]

kevin smith the director, i can see a girl liking him. but that fucker from king of queens? what a tool

[abcdefz]

Kevin Smith I can see marrying, just to have the opportunity to poison him slowly and undetectably. But painfully.

Maybe make him watch his movies or something.

[beastiegirrl101]

kevin smith the director, i can see a girl liking him. but that fucker from king of queens? what a tool


OH NO NOT HIM...the guy from king of queens. his name is Kevin...something-ish.

EDIT: Kevin James

[b i o n i c]

on king of queens doesnt he work at UPS while his wife is getting a degree while working at some fancy office?

if its about hope, why arent there dumb fat UPS working women married to metrosexual executives on tv?






(by dumb fat i dont mean that either is dependant on the other, thats just the combination you see on tv)

[abcdefz]

I think it's kind of reflective of double standards here, too -- how women are expected not to "let themselves go" but men can.

[skinnybutphat]

As a dumb, fat Chicagoan, I resent the fact that Jim is rolled out and displayed as the face of the Chicago male.

[abcdefz]

Right. They're all more like John Cusack or Roger.... ebert....

[skinnybutphat]

Cusack hasn't been cool since 88'. What's wrong with Ebert?

[abcdefz]

I like Cusack and Ebert, actually.

Cusacks plural, actually.

[abcdefz]

you watch too much tv.



Yeah. By definition, if you're watching anything with Jim Belushi, then you're criming your eyes.

[skinnybutphat]

I like Cusack and Ebert, actually.

Cusacks plural, actually.

I liked Joan before she started making some of the worst commercials I have ever seen.

[b i o n i c]

we can just throw a wig on you

[abcdefz]

I liked Joan before she started making some of the worst commercials I have ever seen.


Another reason not to watch TV. See -- I miss all that shit. (y)

I could actually go see Out of Sight when it was in the theater and have zero Clooney-baggage.

[b i o n i c]

and she works for airborne, not ups :P

[Junker]

my dad is fat-ish, so i'll probably be too, but at least we;re not dumb.

That's what you think :D



lol...j/k

[b i o n i c]

at least not most of the time

[kll]

there's also that show Still Standing with jamie gertz as the wife and her husband is played by the fat guy in the Full Monty...

[b i o n i c]

thank you! what is that shit??

[kll]

The best part is that in the "flashback" episodes, the guys are STILL fat, so it's not like he gained weight AFTER he got married, which is often the excuse...

[Junker]

There's also Debra, Raymond's wife. She's hot and smart!

Well, actually he's not fat. Just dumb.

[b i o n i c]

they fix that by throwing a football jacket on him

[b i o n i c]

that was rich but not smooth

[b i o n i c]

that was smooth but not rich

[Junker]

Fine, I give you smooth, but I will get the Brazilian wax done. Again.

Brazilian wax (y) (y) Real nice y'all!!!

[paul jones]

oh fuck I hate that King Of Queens

I tried watching a bit of it but it was shit

[marsdaddy]

There's also Debra, Raymond's wife. She's hot and smart!

Well, actually he's not fat. Just dumb.Okay, so the chick that played Ray's wife had more plastic surgery than anyone since Joan Rivers.

On the other hand, many guys get pretty large around age 30. I've only been able to hold that off with rigorous exercise and a near-death experience that caused me to lose 30% body weight in 11 days.

Thanks.....you've ruined my image of her :mad:

[marsdaddy]

Thanks.....you've ruined my image of her :mad:Well, she's neither hot nor smart. She's fake and I bet, an evangelical.

Try picking someone in Brazil.

[b i o n i c]

Thanks.....you've ruined my image of her :mad:

oh cheer up... its not like joan rivers doesnt still have that hot derrier anymore! rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaar

[Junker]

oh cheer up... its not like joan rivers doesnt still have that hot derrier anymore! rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaar

I agree, I was actually just thinking this yesterday. This double standard has spent way too much time in the limelight...like Jack Black, isn't morbidly obese or something (very attractive to me), but there are simply no women who are around his size getting the same roles without being cast as "quirky fat lady" or, "scary ugly horny fat lady" or whatever. Laaaame

[Randetica]

he is and the dumbness just makes him more cute

i love that show but the newer episodes are unrealistic idealess unfunny time wasters

[Randetica]

oh yeah carrie the wife of doug got chubby after a while but the first few seasons she was pretty

and jerry stiller ownez

I've yet to see Tony Soprano. A fat balding man but yet gets the grade A finest of beefcurtains. Only on the show though and I'm not even sure if he's married IRL.

Anyway, I've been pretty damn plump before. I had a nice girlfriend of 3 years. I was struggling with an addiction of coke. I quit doing coke and then became obese because I was trying to fill the void with sweets and pizza and fattening shit like that. My ex didn't mind at all that I was a lard ass. The thing that pissed her off to the point of leaving me was the fact that I relapsed and started to snort again.

"why is every woman on tv smart with a dumb fat husband"

[ericlee]

Oh and ya'll must remember that back in the day, fatness used to resemble a person's social and financial status.

My Italian girlfriend says tony soprano is hot. She's attracted to the power she says. Fuck knows why shes with me then!

I think this has less to do with media double standards and more to do with the target market of these shows. We've had threads here before about how something like 70% of Americans are obese. We had a thread here the other day with Americans trying to figure out who won the Vietnam war. See, these fat dumb male characters are nothing more than reflections of actual Americans who come home from work, stretch out on the couch, turn on the tube, and watch shows about regular guys who are just like them. Of course, it wouldn't do to have the female characters remind the viewership of what their own wives are like, so the TV husband gets a nubile, witty TV wife who's perfectly content to stay home with the kids and get dinner ready for when Joe Punchclock gets home from a tough day of work. It's domestic reality coloured with a touch of domestic fantasy, a perfect formula to keep the TV-watchers of Middle America happy.

[ericlee]

I just think if a woman is with a man for the looks then she needs to hit the road. Yet, she can have morales. That's no problem. If she's dating a fat man, it's cool but, if she's dating a fat and ugly man then, there's gonna be some problems that she'll face in the meantime.

While on the subway not even 2 days ago, I saw a couple go on board right in front of me while I was sitting. The wife was just a little overweight (a typical american woman) and the man was fucking huge. He had to weigh at least 600 lbs. Anyway, they didn't have a seat and stood hanging onto the bars. I've noticed that because of the size of the man's girth, it was hard for fellow passengers to board. He was that big. The wife didn't really hold back her regret for him either. It was very noticeable.

I think that pretty much says it all. Thread closed.

yeah, shmeltz... sort of, but the most complete and half-true real answer here
