how-to videos for relationships/dating advice

[jrtom]

by some very funny Brits. In format it's a straight instructional video, but with tongue stuck so far in cheek it's in danger of coming out the narrator's ear.

E.g., "How to Undo Her Bra With One Hand":

Also includes such gems as "How to Kiss Passionately", "How to Be the Perfect {Girl,Boy}friend", etc.

The ones on bra-wrangling and kissing were highly entertaining and humorous. Unfortunately, both of the "how to be the perfect boy/girl friend" ones were so full of tired, offensive sexist stereotypes that I rolled my eyes halfway in and didn't even bother to finish watching.

Well, glad that at least 2 of them worked for you. :)

As for the other two...I viewed them as skewering said stereotypes, rather than celebrating, or attempting to reinforce them. But this may have more to do with how I tend to look at things than how they were intended.

heheh :)

Actually, I found all of them hilarious, including the "perfect {boy,girl}friend" spots. Although there was a fair amount of stereotypical stuff in there, the fact of something being stereotypical doesn't necessarily make it untrue, or keep it from being funny. :)
