Benjamin McKenzie - Ben humor appreciation post -contrary to popular belief, he is actually very witty

Sick And Twisted · 09-09-2004, 02:52 PM

I love watching or reading Ben's interviews, cause he's so funny. He has this dry sense of humor.
Like in the Elle interview, he said a few things I thought were funny. They're not these huge jokes, there very subtle.

ELLE: Would you change anything about yourself physically?
BEN: I'd like to be taller and tanner. I'm 5'9", but i'd like to be six feet tall. It's the perfect height. Maybe occasionally you'd be uncomfortable on a coach flight.

ELLE: So what's an acceptable number?
BEN: In the teens is understandable. But get into the twenties and that's not good at all. Over 50 would be like, Who are you?

ELLE: How has your dating life changed since the show?
BEN: It's much easier. For a man, 95 percent of the game is about the approach. Now that's ggone, because they approach you. And you can just sit there and say nothing for five minutes, and instead of being rearded as a loser who can't make converstaino, you're perceived as mysterious and soulful. You kind of feel like the hot chick in the bar.

I love 'You feel like the hot chick at the bad.'

Anyone have anymore?

LOL... how true is that? I always try to get the exit seat to get more leg room.

Wow, you must be tall then! I wish I was 5'7".

That's the perfect height for me. Not too short and not too tall. I'd settle for 5'5" at this point.

I'm *so* short. When I was younger I wanted to be taller. Now I'm 26, so my height combined with a "baby" face, makes people think I'm 17-19. So now I like it.

Ben is very funny. I remember him appearing on Letterman and making me laugh so hard. I really became a fan then.

Sick And Twisted · 09-10-2004, 12:46 AM

^ Oh don't talk about that. I didn't get to see it.

My_Completeness · 09-10-2004, 12:46 AM

i am like between 5'5 and 5'6.....i always get teased by my friends for being short cause i accidentally made friends with all tall people....should have picked the smaller ppl -

so ben isn't too tall for me

I wish Ben were a little taller, being that I'm six foot. But I think the fact that he's short fits his body style and makes him sexy.

Damn, Lisa, you're tall! Give me a few inches, please.

I'm only 5'2.5" and look 12, which is half my real age.

I love looking young, I mean w(who)tf wants to look old, but I'd still like to be taller, ya know? Then I'd at least weigh over 100 pounds.

Trust me, its not all it's cracked up to be.

Oh he was hilarious on the Letterman show - talking about his bank account!

Sick And Twisted · 09-10-2004, 07:52 PM

OK, now you have to tell me what he said.

I love the answer to this question, i think he's funny, lol, aww he's sooo cute!

xxlisaxx · 09-13-2004, 02:56 PM

NaijaChiqa is right, being tall isn't all it's cracked up to be, especially when you're six foot at 13 and have to wait for everyone, especially the male sex, to catch up to you.

I love his answer to the dating question as well. You know it's true.

What did he say on Letterman?

Well, I don't want to be THAT tall. I want to be a normal-sized 5'5"-5'7". One of my friends is the tallest member in her entire family. She's taller than all her brothers, dad, grandfathers, uncles, etc. She's 6'5". That's just too tall, especially for a girl. The funny thing is that she married a short Hispanic. He's like 5'5".

London2LA · 09-15-2004, 06:39 AM

Wow 6'5" is way too tall for a girl
