Stereotypical Things you can Safely Assume about People Based on Their Appearance.
Man with camouflage hat and beergut.
He will be wearing jeans.
He bowls regularly and knows his average.
He drives a pick-up truck. The possibility that it is also camouflaged is 70%. It does have a gun rack and a cartoon drawing of Calvin pissing on his truck’s main competitor’s logo. He’s feels passionate about his truck’s superiority in the American market.
He owns a confederate flag, and proudly has it displayed somewhere. Even if it’s only his living room.
He finds Jeff Foxworthy insightful and hilarious and often compares himself to Hank Hill.
He has pissed in a sink more often than you’d think reasonable.
Most of his hobbies involve killing animals or fish.
He voted straight republican on account of the blacks and queers.
He has been in the emergency room for both firework and beer can related injuries.
He calls his wife his Ol’ Lady.
His Ol’ Lady gets violent on the hard stuff.
He doesn’t quite know how he feels about the International Monetary Fund but he doesn’t think he likes it.
He is a premillennial dispensationalist but has never heard the phrase and wouldn’t know what it meant if he did.
He suffers a deep seated sense of inadequacy around people who are outside of his social standing/circle and tries to cover it with racism and lawyer jokes. Mostly learned from the Redneck Comedy Tour featuring Jeff Foxworthy.
Girl in Prius with Yoga bumper stickers
She presents a serene, slightly ambivalent face to the world but if you happen to make her angry, especially during her Colon Cleanse *With Acai Berry® week, she’ll turn all poltergeist and destroy you and everything you hold dear.
She fancies herself more enlightened than the masses and can’t help but feel a sense of superiority, even though she knows that she’s not supposed to. She hates camo hat guy and secretly daydreams about breaking his jaw with a new move she learned in Yoga Boot Camp® class.
She listens to a lot of PBS and Radio Active even though it sometimes goes over her head and other times bores her to death.
She talks about ‘cashing out’ one day, buying a yurt and living like the ancients in the wilderness. But she never will since nature itself doesn’t have nearly the selection as Natures Finest®.
She’s passionate about sustainability.
She either has a Reiki session or a Reiki class scheduled for this week.
She knows that The Secret® is mass produced, intellectually vapid drivel but she still practices the Laws of Attraction® because the basic premise is right on.
Her tramp stamp is the infinity symbol.
She named her dog Deepak and tells people that it’s part wolf. She’s lying.
Guy in an Ed Hardy t-shirt
He’s a douchebag.
He’s also a tool.
Guy in ridiculous pajama pants because real person pants no longer fit him.
He owns two MMA style shirts and 3 Ed Hardy shirts but only wears them on special occasions.
He spends most of his mental energy planning and fine tuning his nutritional regime. He’ll be more than happy to tell you all about it.
He spends most of his money on steroids and supplements.
He can’t walk by a shiny surface without making his pecs jiggle.
When a good looking couple walks by he checks out the guy. Only to re-assure himself that he’s bigger and/or more cut.
He’s definitely, totally, not gay at all.
He’ll fucking kick your ass if you even suggest it.
He’d probably let you suck his dick though.
Because that’s not really gay.

The world would be so boring without great stereotypes. :p
True dat.
Thanks Maxim!
Living in the schizto town that I do, it wouldn’t be unheard of to see someone wearing a camo hat and an Ed Hardy shirt while driving a Prius. It is still safe to assume that they are a douche, though.
“He has pissed in a sink more often than you’d think reasonable.” Ha! However, what I think is reasonable and what you think is reasonable might be two different things.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen that kind of morphism before. It’s like the stereotypes learned to evolve a symbiotic relationship that would be beneficial to both.
Once. At a really crowded concert. Or something.
Thanks Amy!
100%! Would love to see more profiles, including “Reader of Zodi’s Blog” Don’t worry, we can take it.
Oh yeah, that would be good.
I’ll have to think long and hard about that one.
Thanks Thomas!
I am surprised that a redneck would know who Hank Hill is.
That’s the second most watched redneck show. Just behind Cops.
Thanks Bearman!
I might be able to make something of the girl, but the guy who is definitely not gay belongs in a band called Village People II.
Village People II is one of the best ideas I’ve heard all week, thanks!
Thanks GB!
I think the guy in the Ed Hardy shirt lives on the next block. I know the yoga chick – am currently working on my own 14-day Fat Burn Cleanse and just polished off 20 delicious fluid ounces of SOBE lifewater – strawberry dragonfruit … am unsure if my fat is actually hiding in my colon but I’ll keep you posted. Beer-gut guy is my first cousin on my mother’s side – seriously.
lifewater!
It’s delicimous! Love me my lifewater!
I know not of this thing of which you speak so fondly?
I definitely figured that you would know a few of these people. They really are everywhere. Maybe a hairstyle or accent or favorite adult beverage will change from place to place but the people remain the same. And they’re all hilarious!
Thanks Desert Rat!
The same people must live everywhere!
Oh they do. They live everywhere!
Thanks Karen!
Holding my sides. It’s hurts, hurts! Woman in trackie daks, ugg boots and polar fleece will most likely have appendix erruption from laughing too much at favourite funny-man blog.
Well a ruptured appendix is one of the highest comedic compliments that I could ever hope to receive so I thank you from the bottom of my own, achy, appendix.
Thanks Mitzi!
Wow, we even have the camo hat & beer-gut here in Canada. We only see the gun racks in hunting season though, but surprisingly we do see the confederate flag around. Must be from the draft dodgers of the Vietnam era.
Yea, I’d imagine you have quite a few of those. I’d love to read about some stereotypical Canadians at some point Reb….
Thanks Reb!
most importantly – love ya and missed ya too
wasn’t feeling too great and was also having trouble commenting on wordpress blogs
anyhoo – the Ed Hardy is so perfect, so succinct and so sadly true
Oh my god, I’ve missed you too! You can’t begin to match my laziness though!
WordPress has changed a few things around. I hate the changes having to do with commenting. Ugh.
Thanks Dianne!
You’re one amusing mutha fucka. I heart you!
Aww, thanks Candice. You warm my cockles…
I heart you moar!
Thanks Candice!
Decisions, decisions: which one would I ‘do’ if I had a gun pointing at my head…hmmmm…I guess the narcissistic dude in “ridiculous pajama pants” only because that seems to be my attire of choice these days (Burberry though). My daughter is a fashion blogger and I can safely assume that she would tell me you frickin’ nailed it. Don’t stop here Scott, there are so many more stereotypes to go. You would have so much fodder just sitting here on the Strip and people watching. You wouldn’t believe what the tourists are wearing.
Haha. Well done on this one.
People who buy designer t-shirts are idiots. That’s just saying that you’re showing off that it’s an expensive shirt. So dumb. I make my own shirts at t-shirt shops, and I get laid just fine. And I’m not all that “swole” either.
You’ll find no Ed Hardy wearing pecs jigglers at Yoga Boot Camp, that’s for sure
I love that spray tan those men are sporting. But who is Ed Hardy?
Ed Hardy wearing douchebags….They successfully RUINED the entire Christian Audiger empire.
As usual Scott, you have your finger on the pulse of society….you have affirmed one thing for me..there are way to many douche’s walking around…but hey as long as you keep me from them and keep them aware of themselves then hey your job is done….great stuff…zman sends
The girl is spot on. Maybe Ed Hardy is viewed differently down under. One of my patients wears an Ed Hardy t shirt. He’s 88.
Write something. Anything,
Have bail $, will travel.
Okay that first part describes 98% of the guys in my hometown. The other 1% became helicopter pilots in the Army. It’s true, I went to school in Daleville, Alabama. Is my math wrong? Did I mention where I went to high school?
I live in an area where I’m surrounded by guys/men who wear camouflage hats and have a beer gut. Lucky me huh?!
Thanks for a good laugh Scott!
Trisho
i wear black lace red lace and luv grim reaper lol good blog made me laugh xxjen
Scott, where in the world are you? We are worried!!
One of those moments when I sit back, read, and think aloud ‘it’s funny ’cause it’s true’
You got all those on the $… you made me realize that i actually know ppl like that…wake up call!!!!
Even the rerun is funny- I think you’ve got people pretty much figured out Scott. Where do you fit in? Oh nevermind I’m pretty sure you’re like me and don’t fit in anywhere. It’s the gypsy mentality.
Why are they orange? They look like big oompa loompas!
