@@rhysstanley7387 That means you are watching after her. So you are in fact the stalker, so stop watching the same things as hers. And stop trying to get her attention with these nonsensical comments. It's seriously creepy.
It has the same vibe as the South Park episode with the nurse with a fetus (edit: I mispelled fetus) attached to her head. Singling out a minority does not help. You end up making a guy what he is instead of who he is. Self-serving activism is for the activists and for no one else.
He really knows his way around nuts and bolts. They sell a DeWalt cordless for about $45, but if you ask me, Paul's the most valuable screwdriver in the whole store.
I think an extra funny part about it is if he is really the only gay man in the town, there is no reason to test him for aids. Unless he frequently goes to the next town over, he shouldn't be having sex, unless of course, he isn't actually the only gay man in town.
@@chiarifairy6862 the only way he knows he's gay is because he became attracted to another man at some point ... so either its a celebrity crush or somebody is lying about their preferences lol (but this is funny regardless)
Thats exactly what theyre satirizing lol. Stereotyping is bad even if the characteristics in question are considered a "good" thing. Like gay men being effeminate and fabulous, asians being good at math, black people being good at basketball, women being naturally maternal. These are all inherently discriminatory and prejudicial. The stereotypes become expectations, and reduce people's identities into a spectacle.
@@lifewithkids5231 Paul being annoyed and possibly disturbed from the parade, while the whole community being so ecstatic for the parade. That is quite a high possibility.
It's the only thing that would make sense if this actually happened. Only alphabet people do this shite. That and mentally unstable feminists, but tomato, tomato.
@NikZedika bro thinks pedophiles are a part of the lgbtq community and is too scared to say the word pedophile. bro has and will never feel true happiness and belonging in this world. my love and respect for discriminated against people such as myself will persist and shine bright for generations beyond your hate and refusal to understand i'm a person too
It reminded me of this episode of the office in which they discover that Oscar is gay and Michael basically kisses him against his will in order to show his support lmao
@@k.g.b.1150 calling yourself a ”homophobe” just let’s yourself know something’s not right. Like it’s the same principle as saying ”even though i’m a racist”
@@henrikledin4166 Dunno. I guess it might be because disagreeing in the slightest with the LGBT movement makes you a homophobe nowadays. Or antifa, which makes you a fascist, or BLM, which makes you a racist. The list goes on and on
At first i was like “Awww thats actually a really wholesome concept for a onion video” but then i heard “He was so humble we had to DRAG him out to do the parade!!” And i was like oh
@yossarian00 you clearly have no fucking idea who rhis video is actually poking fun at. It's poking fun at the people who support pride for their own self service, without actually caring about how gay people feel
I'm from a small place. Pop 660. There's 4 gay people, me, 2 women, and a guy who has mental issues. Everyone knows, no one cares, we have our places in the community. We joke about having a Pride Parade. The 4 of us, marching up the road, yelling "We're here, we're queer, get used to it!" at people who know we're here, know we're queer, and got used to it a long time ago. Lol.
@@andrew8577 I don't. Been there, done that, got the therapist bills to prove it. Coming home, for me, was getting back to a more peaceful life. Back to the culture I grew up in, away from the Americanized city that I didn't belong in. Where I'm defined by my family and my friends, not a flag that changes every year, an acronym that grows ever longer, and the way Americans say I'm supposed to be.
@@Hotdogenthusiast Why would we insult our neighbours who accept us, who cook meals for us, who watch our property when we go on holiday? Why kick up a stink about that? We're the gay people they know. We're not being all "New York Pride parade" outrageous, flashy pink hair urbanites needing some kind of issue to latch on to so we can feel valuable. Where I'm from, we pity those people.
😂😂😂As a gay man, this is kinda spot on. The virtue signaling, the gay jargon, the stereotyping... But even a somewhat misguided effort is better than homophobia.
This to me would be like a christian town throwing a parade for me because they find out I'm the only atheist. Even if they decorated the town in dead babies and demon skulls or whatever it is they think I'm into and offer to baptize me and cure me of my wickedness at the end so I can avoid much deserved eternal torture I would still think it was a really sweet gesture on their part to go through all this for me. And I have a self deprecating sense of humor so this would be the best day of my life. Especially if someone got all my humiliation on camera so I could show it to people later.
I have a narc mother and stay closeted because I know she would use it to make herself a martyr and try to get special treament starting every sentence with "my daughter's gay" and oh how she would milk it and deem herself worthy of having her own float in the pride pirade as "Mother of a Gay Daughter" just like how she treated(and alienated) her gay male bff who she coveted like a prized accessory.
For anyone looking for a interpretation: The Onion is satirizing how people’s “support” is often self- serving and is not intended to actually help. In this case, their support is actually reinforcing stereotypes. I think it’s a bit weird that people assume that all gay people want to be flamboyant and if they’re not, that means they’re closeted.
The next time some dumb bitch ask me if I can be their gay best friend, do their makeup, tell me how much they lOoOoOve gay people and then be homophobic towards lesbians I will give them a slap.
sorring by new on any mildly controversial topic is not good for the mind because you're actively seeking people to hate. tho i do admit that i am also guilty of this
As a bisexual guy who doesn't really bring it up much. I feel you Paul. The nicest interaction I had with someone when I told them was when I said "I like both (men and women)" and the guy was like "Oh, ok. it's all good." and that was the end of it. THAT'S the normalization I want. Just another joe who just happens to be bi. I don't need the craziness of pride personally.
You're getting a flag and a parade, goddamn it. We need to feel like we have supported you, or we won't feel good about ourselves in front of our friends. That's how we know we're good people. Here's a cupcake that didn't come out right, but it's in the shape of genitals, so we know you'll love it. Also we need you to be _expressive_ or else our cognitive dissonance flares up. Anyway, glad you agree! Tata!
@@meusisto it turns out you actually don’t need to combat common paraphillias to have healthy and functioning society. But you know, you do you. Wait 30-40 years for a definitive biological picture of sexuality to engineer your own perfect straight kids
@@meusisto nah, bro you dont get to talk about lgbtq when your pfp is a frog known for a website commonly used by old gen x'ers/millenials who wont let go of the past 2000s era desperatly trying to drown themselves in nostalgia to make scary things like jobs go away and also cant be let within 500 feet of a elementary school
@@pisces2569 it’s the latter since the guy didn’t ask for it, if anything he’s implied to be at the very least inconvenienced by it. The townspeople only did it to show their “support” for gay people. They don’t actually _listen_ to the (only) gay person to ask what _he_ wants, what _he_ needs. They just do what they (the cis and straight townspeople) _think_ he should want and need, and force it onto him. The fact that there’s (supposedly) no other queer person in this town just hammers this idea even more, because there was definitely no queer person to say “oh maybe this isn’t a good idea” when they were discussing how to do the parade. Maybe it’s also the fact that the town does this to their queer residents that’s why no other queer person has come out yet. Or maybe all the other queer residents left the town lol The whole thing would’ve been fine if there was a queer person/people who was there with them to decide how to do the parade, and if did it for the queer people to know they are seen and loved. And also if they didn’t force Paul to come out of his house and do all these stuff with them. But instead it was just a bunch of (again, supposedly) cishet people showing off their “support”. (Sorry for the long comment. I’m a queer person)
@@pisces2569 wow, RU-vid immediately shadow banned my comment (because gay people are bad ig) but I’m gonna try again: It’s the latter since the guy didn’t ask for it, if anything he’s implied to be at the very least inconvenienced by it.

This is hilariously true. I’m a bisexual man and I refuse to tell anyone other than close friends because I know other people will make a much bigger deal of it than I’d ever care too
WHAAAT? NOW YOU MUST CELEBRATE!!!! I know a place that does everything normal, but they have plastic decorations shaped like genitals YOU WOULD LOOOOOOOVE IT
@@OurNewestMember bro I’m not repressing anybody, I’m just saying some people don’t want to draw attention to themselves for being gay or wtv, some people just want to lead normal lives. What are you going on about lmao, I’m not trying to offend anybody. You must be straight because no lgbtq person would actually act like this 💀
They’re acting so accurately like "woke" straight people do - obvious it’s exaggerated for satire purposes but the more subtle elements are so, so, so spot on that this skit MUST have been written by a gay person, there’s no way a straight person wrote this.
I know the onion doesn’t do these videos anymore but they revisit this fictional town but the only difference is that the same residents who loved Paul now hate him and call him a groomer. The obvious joke being that Paul barely talks to kids and barely tolerates them.
“The gay pride...” Paul, I know our innocently condescending support for your beautiful gay lifestyle is embarrassing, but we’re going to keep on giving it to you. Get tested every month, Paul. And don’t do any drugs. We made sure each corner store has a bucket of free pink condoms at the counter. Long live the gays! Yay Paul! Congrats!
manichvh the video itself is the joke I believe bc the onion specializes in comedy u less they’re talking about a comment that made a joke then idk. I legit thought the video was reaL OOPSIE POOPSIE
Ok click this because the guy wearing a beach hat in 0:15 looks like Cameron in modern family. It even wears the same shirt that Cameron would wear…. and I suppose this guy is gay
If you think forcing an introverted person into the public and smothering them with attention when they OBVIOUSLY want to be left alone is endearing...
I think it’s funny that there’s some people out there that don’t see this as being satire or irony, but in fact a wonderful turn of events that should be
Dorkmax is it? Is staying in the closet really worse, than a three day long event, where complete strangers run up to you and ask, how far you shove the p”s up your ass and mouth? Is it worth all overweight guys in fetish gear in the middle of the street, telling you how much they love and respect you? Is it worth the rainbow car? Be honest with yourself.
