Have You Seen ‘Sex and the City For Dudes?’
We couldn’t help but wonder…What would ‘Sex and the City’ look like if all the characters were guys like us?
Until we saw the video below, we hadn’t thought about ‘Sex and the City’ for a while, mostly because it’s been long enough now that every woman we know has seen every episode enough times to have them on permanent DVR in their ladybrains. Recently, though, comedian Jarret Berenstein released an intro for ‘Sex and the City for Dudes’ which he wrote and produced. We think it’s pretty hilarious:
This got us thinking: If ‘SATC’ was a dude show, who would play the four main characters? We brainstormed for a bit before we realized — this show was already been cast in 2009 with a movie called ‘The Hangover.’
The Cast:
Carrie/Doug
Similarities:
Eye color
Entire series/movie revolves around their quest for eternal love
Girl/Boy-Next-Door appeal
Samantha/Phil
Similarities:
Affinity for red dresses
Most sexually-experienced
Complete disinterest in relationships
Tough exterior, incredibly loyal friend
Miranda/Alan
Similarities:
Gingers
Both portrayed as the sexless, un-bump-able one
The only one who ever eats
The only one who ever dresses like a slob
Charlotte/Stu
Preppy, restrained wasps
Tight-lipped smiles
Response to crisis: Shrill, panicked shrieks and loss of ability to blink.
Brief marriages to unsuitable matches (impotent mama’s boy and stripper, respectively)
Regardless of these comparisons, which we think are pretty solid, we’d like to make the following disclaimer to women who might be reading: It is still never okay to ask someone if they are ‘A Carrie or a Samantha.’
