I liked this one - the idea of the videogame-obsessed slob is such an ingrained image of cliched masculinity, so transferring that onto an attractive young woman creates an interesting frisson:

Brian, if you want to stick a toy gun in your pants, that is just fine with me. I am the last person to judge.
