No, I much prefer this response as it invites dialog that can be enlightening and enjoyable.
My character might be rudimentary, you may very well be right, but I also see a certain kind of sophistication. Often times because what I'm really saying has larger connotations and addresses larger concepts. The type of humor that I am attempting to deliver isn't just superficial self basing. If you look at it closer, what you may find immasculine in one sense can very well be masculine in another sense. In the scenerio I depicted, what is the correct or masculine thing to do? Is the masculine thing the correct thing to do? These arequestions thereader mustask themselves. If I was masculine in a crude sense then I would simply state who I am and confront the guy, which will lead to a definite altercation between the couple. Is it right for me to destroy a marriage no matter how bad it is? In another sense I could have simply hung up, but that only breeds suspicion between the couple and only makes me look like a coward, which of course isn't very masculine. Instead I confront the challenge, and attempt to save a relationship I didn't know I was in the middle of. So I showed bravery, cleverness, and did the right thing to do.
So this rudimentary character was actually poking fun at crude definitions of masculinity, in an attempt to show that things aren't always black and white. The conclusion should be that there is a broader sense of masculinity that can sometimes go against a common definition. It's a very abstract concept that crude caricatures won't do justice. Was there an element of humiliation, yes, but that is where the comedy stems from, doing things that are ridiculous and embarrassing but also getting away with it.
I also find situational comedy funniest especially those that poke fun at social conventions. Must be why I liked the office so much.
