ABF, I think you're finally starting to understand the nature of "absurdist humor". Another part of it is they're making fun of "manliness" by exaggerating it to ridiculous proportions. It's funny, with the only real distraction being the product they're advertising.
Weltall I AM absurd. I tend to laugh at absurd humor all the time. I'm not sure what you're talking about. SQUIRREL!
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
