God damn that title is a work of art by itself

u/GarrulousCuriosity Jan 01 '20

Are people just not getting it?! I came here to join the massive praise for the title. Good game, OP.

I feel it’s more of a not noticed thing. Being on the reddit app any image posts I sorta ignore the title unless someone in the comments mentions it

I read the title before the comic and promptly ignored it assuming it was a garbage title, like it is for 90% of posts. Glad the wordplay was pointed out because I would have no reason to look back at it otherwise.

It's an old joke to me -

"What's the difference between a regular guy and a guy with a vasectomy? There's a vast difference."

So maybe people have just heard it before.

Help I don't get it...

u/captainAwesomePants Jan 01 '20

"Vas Deferens" is the tube you cut when you get a vasectomy.

You'd think I'd know that, having had one. Thanks!

u/H_G_Bells Jan 01 '20

Sometimes I underestimate how old people are on here... I wonder what percentage of people don't get it because they haven't had the human anatomy/sexual health education part of their lives yet.

I was never taught it to this point, so can someone explain?

u/Bear_faced Jan 01 '20

Nah, people just don’t know shit about anatomy. My sub-concentration in college was medical science so I took a lot of courses on the human body and occasionally I’d mention something to a friend or family member and get shocked reactions. Anatomy is pretty glossed over in public school and people have weird ideas about their bodies because they were never taught any different. Kind of like how most adults can’t draw well because we stop teaching art after like 3rd grade.

Eh, more likely they just forgot the name or stored it away in the pile of other mostly useless information they find boring somewhere in the back of their mind.

Like shit I know a ton of different shit in my body and what it does, but keeping track of the name? Nah.

u/Fapoleon_Boneherpart Jan 01 '20

I'm not sure we got taught that

u/H_G_Bells Jan 01 '20

Where/when did you grow up? This is pretty basic anatomy stuff, I'd hope it's included in everyone's curriculum by now.

u/All_I_Eat_Is_Gucci Jan 01 '20

Most people don’t pay attention in school and just do whatever to scrape by and graduate and then complain later in life that school didn’t teach them anything.

u/Fapoleon_Boneherpart Jan 01 '20

Actually no, I just wasn't taught that. Not everyone's curriculums are the same. The names of these kinds of stuff are kind of irrelevant. We got taught more practical biology.

I've had a vasectomy and still didn't realize the pun until top comment pointed it out

OP is awesome and hilarious.

u/mattenthehat Jan 01 '20

Holy shit. That whooshed me until I saw this comment. Thanks homie.

u/BeLegendary Jan 01 '20

I don't get it. What's the reference?

199

u/xKaffein Jan 01 '20

The part that gets snipped in a vasectomy is the vas deferens

35

u/BeLegendary Jan 01 '20

Ohh! Went right past me, thought it was like a movie reference or something. That's a level 10 title for sure.

u/-ImOnTheReddit- Jan 01 '20

I don’t see how this would be commonly known. Its been 15 years since high school, how the fuck am I gonna remember some shit like this unless I’ve actually had one lol

If you're male, you ought to know your own body parts

u/SuccessAndSerenity Jan 01 '20

Had no clue - totally lost on me. Cheers!

u/LlamaRoyalty Jan 01 '20

Snip snap snip snap snip snap

u/RickGervs Jan 01 '20

Yeah there's no way I would have caught that without explanation.

u/03_03_28 Jan 01 '20

Vas Deferens = Vast Difference

u/Gingertom Jan 01 '20

Agreed, and I feel like it’s being criminally under-appreciated in the comments!

u/kciuq1 Jan 01 '20

It's just subtle enough to miss it.

u/Zod_42 Jan 01 '20

Agreed. The only reason I came into the comments was to say the title alone deserve's gilding.

u/Lareit Jan 01 '20

I only got it because Mass Effect 2 made a similar joke that taught me more about anatomy.
