The wife is 14 years younger than the husband and had the kid at 17…
That, or she’s “29” for the 8th or 9th time. Which makes it funnier because obviously she didn’t think of the implications of her fake age.
This is a pretty funny little deal, on several levels. At one level it’s obviously sending up the suburbanites lifestyle, but it also has a subtext gently teasing New Yorkers about how they see the rest of the country, like the old “View of the World from 9th Avenue” magazine cover. Probably depends on the audience, I reckon.
My favorite is probably the fake address. 24th street cuts across Manhattan, at roughly 900 feet per long block, each of which corresponds to a building number 100 higher than the previous block. Extending it out to the fake address, you end up about 90-100 miles away, in the suburbs of Scranton, Pennsylvania, the far hinterlands where people practice weird religions, play with “Toy Men,” and pursue their hobby of “Car Engines” with their shoe-collecting wives who are either teen mothers, being cutely faux-29 forever, or probably both. They live in huge houses on isolated plots of land like an eighth of an acre or more, and they never talk to each other. It’s all really pretty much the same as Michigan or Minnesota or Montana, I think.
Okay but you didn’t have to do Scranton dirty like that.
It’s the Electric City man, show some respect.
Because of the electricity
I honestly haven’t heard that joke since The Nanny or maybe Sex in the City?
That’s roughly when I grew up. lol. My mom was “29” for about 5 years if I recall.
One of my grandparents used to do that. He was 41 for several decades, and just turned 42 that last year because he said he was starting to feel his age
That doesn’t help to narrow down the religion.
Right?!
“Please don’t call or text”
Adds phone numberOn first glance I assumed this was a joke about introverts.
If this is real, it’s in Chelsea, Manhattan. I had originally assumed maybe it was some rich people who didn’t want attention but that doesn’t seem like a nice place to live, about average in a high-rise apartment. But I know jack about NY.
I kind of assume the religion thing is BS and they just don’t want attention. Though sending this out is really going to have the opposite effect.
The “hobbies” are so obviously fake I wonder if it’s witness protection? Except they aren’t that inept.
Definitely a joke… there is nowhere on Manhattan with a building number of 56322–it would be somewhere in New Jersey if the numbers went that far west. I’m guessing Patrick has some fun friends or it’s all for lulz.
I put it into google maps and it gave me a high-rise so I assumed it was an apartment number? Unsure how those are numbered.
Hobby: toy men
?!?!
Big muscular bare chested military men.
Thank you! Tbh I just saw this on FB and shared. Lol
So…you block out your address, but not their address. That’s a bold move…
Which one of the internet jokesters did this? Has serious Alan Wagner vibes.
Good catch! I’d never heard of him. Looks like his patreon subscribers could get a hard copy sent to them.
The passive agressive one liners with unnecessary clarifications that sound like they were written by a alien or schizophrenic plastered all over are 100% his schtick.
The kid, I’m willing to accept, but both the parents look like default sims
Are the suburbanites alright?
