I’m fucking Sarah Silverman
I think this video works because it plays with the slippage between the homosocial and the homosexual. Also, it’s almost painfully funny.
The video, “I’m Fucking Ben Affleck” is a response to the “I’m Fucking Matt Damon” video that Sarah Silverman and Matt Damon did. In the response video, Jimmy Kimmel says the video is a jab not at Silverman, but at Damon, who he blames for “taking something [he] loved.” For this and other reasons, the video becomes further homosocial as the significant exchange is not that between Silverman and Damon or Silverman and Kimmel, but between Damon and Kimmel.
In addition to being an interesting study in homosocial romantic/sexual exchange, it’s a great parody of Live Aid. Check those celebrity appearances. Gold star to Joan Jett.
