To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Dirty Work. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical ironymost of the jokes will go over a typical viewerâs head. Thereâs also Mitchâs nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that theyâre not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Dirty Work truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldnât appreciate, for instance, the humour in Mitchâs existential catchphrase âNote To Self...,â which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenevâs Russian epic Fathers and Sons. Iâm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Bob Sagetâs genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. đ
And yes, by the way, i DO have a Norm MacDonald tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. Itâs for the ladiesâ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that theyâre within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid đ
