99% of those macros are embarrassingly transparent male wish-fulfillment.
Really?
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Well, the evolution of them make it pretty clear.  They're a spin-off of a specific macro, which is basically a guy who is nice to people.  Of course, when people made a version about a woman, it becomes mostly about pleasing men.

GP's right. The meme is called 'Cool Chick Carol' (i.e. the female Good Guy Greg), but of course every single example of her being 'cool' is just stupid and sexist.

What's wrong with being sexy?

EDIT:  And since there has been en effort made to point out that "GASP!  You said something sexist!  How DARE you??  That's offensive and not at all funny.", I'll offer the following:





Dogs have very short attention spans and are more concerned with chasing wild animals than most other things.  Offensive.





Soda cans are people.  Just like evil evil corporations.  Offensive




Uses the word retarded.  Offensive.





Taking the Christ out of Christmas.  Offensive.





Not Kevin Moore.  Offensive.





Japanese people are into some crazy shit.  Offensive.





Old people are easily influenced.  Ageism.  Offensive.





Women only like guys with money, guys will fuck anything.  Offensive.





Single people are fat and ugly, that's why they're single.  Offensive.


That's only going back 10-12 pages.  I could go on and on, but I think we all get the point.  Everybody is able to find something offensive, if you look hard enough for a way to be offended.  Political Correctness:  Don't find something funny?  Say it offends you.  Then NOBODY is allowed to find it funny anymore!

First, I thought Good Girl Gina was the Good Guy Greg spinoff.

But regardless, both are funny. The fact is that lots of guys have problems with women that lead them on and manipulate them, so a male wish-fulfillment meme is funny.

And by the same token, plenty of women suffer the same at the hands of idiot guys, so if the meme played in reverse, it would be just as amusing.  To most people, anyway.

Multiple ways.

1. Funny cause it's true.
2. I said the word "crap" thus qualifying it for potty humor.
3. Observational humor.
4. Anti-humor.
5. BECAUSE I GOD DAMN SAID SO!

Those jokes can be considered offensive and sexist because they imply a sort of exceptionalism from "normal" women who don't mean what they say or girls who don't give out sex to any nice guy. It's basically saying women would be better if they gave out more sex. That's pretty sexist.

That being said, it's just lowbrow humor. It's not a big deal, just not very funny.

Okay. Now something funny: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zizSqLiwfA
