Why Aren’t Men Funny? A Case Study, with MGTOWs

Stranded on Total Lack of Sense of Humor Island
Stranded on Total Lack of Sense of Humor Island

So the fellas on the Men Going Their Own Way subreddit are trying their hands at humor. It’s not going very well for them.

Here they try  a variation on the old “so-and-so walks into a bar” formula, with Jessica Valenti and Anita Sarkeesian replacing the usual rabbis and priests. (I also make an appearance.) Here they attempt a MGTOW version of Jeff Foxworthy’s “you know you’re a redneck when …” schtick.

But their grandest failure in the humor department is this … thing, which even the regular MGTOWs couldn’t bring themselves to upvote.  I present it in its entirety, because what the fucking fuck:

A feminist, an MRA, a RedPiller and a MGHOW are stranded on a desert island ... (self.MGTOW) submitted 3 days ago by UneducatedLoser A feminist, an MRA, a RedPiller and a MGHOW are stranded on a desert island. The feminist begins harping about how the men are privileged with upper body strength and so any food they hunt must be taxed, with the tax given to her. The MRA counters by saying any law created must be equally applied to both sexes and any man-only tax is unfair. The MRA and the feminist continue arguing back and forth until the MRA, exasperated, takes out his gun and shoots himself committing suicide. The RedPiller looks at the body of the late MRA, shakes his head and goes up to the feminist. He backhands her sending her flying. He viciously beats her and tells her to learn her place. The feminist is quiet and subdued. Satisfied, the RedPiller turns around when the feminist takes a rock and hits him on the back of his head - knocking him out cold. The MGHOW looks at the unconscious RedPiller, the body of the late MRA and shakes his head. He goes up to feminist and the following conversation takes place : MGHOW : I am conducting a social sciences study as part of my thesis at Harvard University. Would you care to volunteer? Feminist : What is this study about? MGHOW : It concerns the abject failure of men in satisfying women through receiving fellatio.

Bah-dump tssh?

I went to the link so I could copy paste the whole joke in order to dissect and mock it. There aren’t many replies, but the ones that are there are mostly about how the feminist is probably too ugly to fuck, therefore the MGHOW should cannibalize her.

Anyway…

A feminist, an MRA, a RedPiller and a MGHOW are stranded on a desert island.

Poor feminist. On the plus side, I think we discovered a new good idea for a movie in the backwoods/survival subgenre of horror.

The feminist begins harping about how the men are privileged with upper body strength and so any food they hunt must be taxed, with the tax given to her.

Oh dear. Another example of how manurespherians coopt social justice lingo without having the slightest clue about how to use it properly. Privilege is about how society is structured to give certain demographics an advantage over others. It has nothing to do with bio truths. That’s the domain of MGTOW types.

Also, what does he mean by taxing food? It’s a desert island. There would be no use for money and most likely any paper money would’ve been destroyed by their nautical misadventures anyway.

The MRA counters by saying any law created must be equally applied to both sexes and any man-only tax is unfair. The MRA and the feminist continue arguing back and forth until the MRA, exasperated, takes out his gun and shoots himself committing suicide.

It’s more likely the MRA would argue that the feminist is trying to oppress him with her butt. Then he’d say if he hunts the mammoth (or whatever fauna live in the area) for her, she is obligated to fuck him. And why is he taking out a gun and killing himself? All over an argument with a feminist? This just makes 0 sense.

The RedPiller looks at the body of the late MRA, shakes his head and goes up to the feminist. He backhands her sending her flying. He viciously beats her and tells her to learn her place. The feminist is quiet and subdued. Satisfied, the RedPiller turns around when the feminist takes a rock and hits him on the back of his head – knocking him out cold.

This is kind of a slip up here. He’s basically admitting that he knows that red pillers are violent misogynists.

The MGHOW looks at the unconscious RedPiller, the body of the late MRA and shakes his head. He goes up to feminist and the following conversation takes place :

MGHOW : I am conducting a social sciences study as part of my thesis at Harvard University. Would you care to volunteer?

Feminist : What is this study about?

MGHOW : It concerns the abject failure of men in satisfying women through receiving fellatio.

Huh? I’m assuming that this is his way of saying that women should blow him, but he totally won’t enjoy it because women are icky? What does that have to do with a thesis though? And why wouldn’t the feminist know that being stranded on an island, he would be unable to finish and deliver his thesis? So many questions.

Joke wasn’t funny. This blog is, though. The island graphic made me laugh.

Maybe it’s an attempt at Dadaist humor?

I’m going with that. It makes life just a teensy bit more enjoyable.

A MGTOW walks into a bar, and then he spends the next fourteen hours telling Reddit how the placement of that fixture was totally a result of every woman in the world conspiring to nerf him personally.

When our older son was learning about jokes, he would try to make up his own. Random nouns put together in a format that said ‘joke’ in his mind – and all of them were funnier than this wilted word salad.

Isnt the point of MGTOW to not engage with women? Is that – is that the – *joke*…?

Robert,
Maybe MGTOWs are really robots built by Warren?*
http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2obm50zrR1qkbybho1_500.jpg

* For those who don’t watch Buffy, Warren is basically an MRA who builds a robot sex slave girlfriend, kills his ex human girlfriend who dumped him over the robot gf and then had the audacity to object when he tries to use magic to turn her into a sex slave, and builds Spike a robot version of Buffy so he can realize his obsession for her. Charming fellow.

I understood he meant a failure on the woman’s part, for not experiencing sexual satisfaction from blowing dudes.

Either way, not only is it not funny, the MGTOW is actually the butt of the joke.

Unless the MGTOW is “negging”, which of course would be out of character because that’s what RedPillers do, but it would make him like, a total hero in this story

Also, we know very well any MGTOW would cry and beg for mercy if they ever saw anyone, let alone a feminist, take on two guys and then head their way.

Apparently it’s “stranded on islands” week. There’s a particularly brilliant comment thread here that grew in response to some twerp’s comment that “if there were a gay island, a lesbian island, and a straight island, only the straight people island would survive”:

Off-topic: Elections took place yesterday and the super-far-right candidate from super-rich family Macri won.

If anyone is interested for twisted and mysterious reasons, here’s a decent article, previous to the election, about our new president.

How do men fail to satisfy women through receiving fellatio?

Is this even supposed to make sense, or is this just another nonsensical mental ejaculation, of the kind that make the manosphere such a stimulating marketplace of, er, ideas?

OK, let me try. This is based on the specifics of the three groups’ beliefs.

The Men’s Right’s Activist believes he’s in a matriarchal society, and is trying to change the system from within. His effort is doomed to failure because the people in power won’t allow the system to be changed.

The RedPiller believes that he’s in a matriarchal society, and decides that the system can only be changed through violent revolution. His effort is doomed to failure, too, because the people in power have access to superior weapons.

The Man-Going-His-Own-Way believes that he’s in a matriarchal society, and understands that the system cannot be changed. The best he can do is refuse to support the system, by taking a non-productive academic job to conduct a pointless study with no volunteers.

The joke is that the joke’s author hasn’t thought things through: The MRA would have won a vote on tax policy if he’d called for one, the RedPiller could have defended himself against the rock if he’d picked up the MRAs gun, and MGTOWs are incapable of being productive members of society even if they want to.

Why didn’t he just use the gun to hunt animals or something? Is he a vegetarian?

A manospherian walks into a bar, alone. Then he walks home from the bar, alone. Every night for 42 years he does this.

I believe the “joke” means:

MRA’s are self-pitying drama addicts who blame women for the MRA’s own self-inflicted wounds.

Red pillers are sociopaths.

And a MGHOW couldn’t get laid even if he was the last man on the island.

Sounds about right.

Going by the bolded words, I think the punchline is that the feminist would blow the MGHOW because she would be willing to do anything if it goes towards denigrating men. You would have to be willing to laugh at anything that amounts to “Fuck you feminists!! Blow me!!” in order to even be capable of finding this funny. The lack of upvotes suggests that even those with this capacity are unable to appreciate our UneducatedLoser’s sharp barbs.
