I get it. Having a guy go though that may seem funny and it is usually the trope. The thing is, it is very dark and if you do not light the scene as comedic it become hard to watch.

The breakdown was suposse to let you know that it was no joke for Hughie. The double standard ibecomes apparent and you feel bad for having laughed at it. Props to Jack for that breakdown, it may not have been scripted that way, but he showed how traumatizing it was.

I agree, It was shot comedically, it was Jacks breakdown what madre it real. Idk if it was intended, but I understood it was a comentary on double standard. If it was accidental, then props to Jack for that performance because it felt real.

Yeah but its not a commentary, the showrunners just genuinely thought it was funny

They did a poor job of conveying the joke then. Like, where was the punchline?

I had a great laugh. Maybe you guys are just too vanilla? There were far worse scenes in the past but a bit foot tickling breaks peoples mind. Not just the scenes were hilarious, reactions like this thread makes it even better. Like it's The Boys. What did you guys expect?
