Well, I teach annual police in-service training and showed this video every week last year. It never failed to get a big laugh from the class full of bullies. Lighten up.

I’ve had a cop bully me as well, it isn’t pleasant. It elicited a ‘wtf’ from me and took a while for me to come to terms with it. In my head, cops were always supposed to be there to protect you and help out people, not be d!cks (and, in essence ‘just human beings’).

That said, I didn’t find the video funny. Stepping outside my experience with cops, I can say I guess _something_ like that could be funny, but the video, as is, is simply juvenile and misogynistic.

I say this AND I admit to laughing at Daniel Tosh jokes…so go figure.

I can get that - but I dunno, I guess I’m just arguing that it could have been done better, I suppose. I just strikes me as something that an 8th grader would come up with.

I’m not offended that you find it funny (to each their own), FTR.

Nah, Super Troopers was _funny_. 😃

This reminds me of one of the gags that Farva would try to pull.

I’m sorry folks, I can’t get past the thread title cross linking with a memory of John Belushi asking, “How much for the little girl?” It’s got me giggling like a…well, a very giggly thing indeed!

Not very funny in general, but the “girl behind the light pole” thing is especially stupid because you can only see her if you very carefully pause the video at that point and advance it frame-by-frame – i.e., only if you know in advance what to look for, where, and at what point in the video. It’s not something you’d notice while watching the video at normal speed.
