      The part where they almost get caught because the husband unexpectedly comes home early so the other guy has to hide in a closet or climb out a window, I’ve seen some halfway decent riffs on that bit over the years

      It’s not, Will was just being edgy.

      Although a bit of a hot take I think people having such strong visceral reactions to it stems from patriarchal brainworms more than anything, which I guess could be considered funny for an edgelord like him.

        it has to be patriarchal brainworms; multiples sources have described the infidelity that takes place in the armed services (both private and public) at “epidemic” proportions and they pretend it doesn’t happen.

          It’s pretty funny when it happens to US military ghouls when they’re off killing kids tbh

            a little bit, but then you gotta account for the fact that the child can be as indoctrinated like his/her false father/mother was. lol

      For being a very common, human failing, a lot of people at least talk about it as something more serious than many actual crimes. Platner is case in point: there are voters out there who will excuse a Nazi tattoo and working as a mercenary, but draw the line at cheating on your wife.
