Mr Show - Larry Kleist: Rapist

[@RhysHalliwell]

Even though I have seen this many times, the idea of a 79 day rafting expodition cracked me up.

[@goldentaco4970]

Funny. Ive seen this so many times and had just realized how ridiculous the 79 day part is. Lol

[@mightisright]

The family of 5 going to college was funny too.

[@joeking5679]

there's wilderness camps that do 3 month canoe trips in northern canada for teenagers (i did one), so its not that ridiculous, the joke is that its ridiculous for a family of 5 to do one instead of go to college.

[@kevinmcdonald6477]

$800,000 for a 79 day rafting trip is somewhat exorbitant! This show is the funniest sketch show , with the exception of Monty Python. Which I'm sure was the inspiration.

It’s meant to make the Rapist feel like they’re in their natural environment. This calms the Rapist and prevents further rapes.

[@EnigmaticEncounters420]

Just wondering why that is? Seems just a little sarcastic but idk

[@MediumHalf]

@@EnigmaticEncounters420 yeah there's no joke, not sure what they're thinking is "underrated"- it's just office sarcasm consistent with the setting

[@atomzero1]

It's funny because he's acting like this news story or whatever is about anything other than him being a rapist.

[@ErikWilliamsviolin]

@trollolol I think LRA meant that the joke is deeper: you see, cold calls are a form of verbal rape, where you call people without their consent. Thus, it makes sense that the rapist loves cold calls, as they are a legal way for him to get his fix.

[@CrizzyEyes]

@@EnigmaticEncounters420 Cold calling is what telemarketing laws were designed to crack down on. It's a bit of a dry joke, but no reasonable person would want to be a cold caller because you'd be ignored and yelled at by nearly everyone who picks up the phone.
