Fuck this stupid shit line. I'm sorry I don't fall under the umbrella of constant, hedonistic entertainment and that my use of a brain offends you so greatly.

I hate when people say this. I love to joke around and have a good time as much as anyone else, but people tend to throw it around whenever someone makes an intellectual or well reasoned comment. Basically a more subtle version of this:

It is anger inducing.

Context: The instance that sparked this thread wasn't said to me, actually, but it was overheard in another conversation. Someone cracked a joke about the name of a character from a movie and the other guy corrected the name and started to talk about the character. It wasn't like he killed the joke or anything, he was just starting a new conversation. But the other guy took it personally and attacked him for it. Not the worst example, but it reminded me of how many times people pull this line.

Floridian · Mar 9, 2015

You can be smart & be great at parties too. Why not both?

themagicalkitsune · Mar 9, 2015

To be honest I've only heard the phrase being thrown when one makes a killjoy statement, not an intellectual one.

DUFFMCWALIN · Mar 9, 2015

Could you be any more condescending? You must be great at parties.

How did you think this thread would go, OP?

You must be great at parties.

gohepcat · Mar 9, 2015

This come across as incredibly arrogant.

The only time I've ever seen it used is in the context of a lighthearted reminder that someone is being overly serious or negative about something.

Zukuu · Mar 9, 2015

First the thread about being offended by a MENU difficulty screen and now this...

People really DO get offended by EVERYTHING nowadays. We're a generation of wimps.

Context: the internet.

I only like using this line on people that seem especially dreadful/boring, which isn't very many.

Ninja Scooter · Mar 9, 2015

Are you guys crazy? He sounds like he'd be terrible at parties!?!?

I don't think he's sorry at all!

bernardobri · Mar 9, 2015

Debes ser genial en fiestas.

Tagyhag · Mar 9, 2015

If people use it in the context of someone making an intelligent observation, then they would be using the line wrong.

It's really used for jerks who think they're better than everyone else for not finding something funny or entertaining, and having to point that out to make sure everyone understood that this type of entertainment was beneath them and their superior intellect.

I'm sorry I don't fall under the umbrella of constant, hedonistic entertainment and that my use of a brain offends you so greatly.

People like this, OP.

Naughty_Doge · Mar 9, 2015

Sounds like OP is great at parties.

jon bones · Mar 9, 2015

it's the OP's tone of false superiority that no one enjoys at their parties
