122: Quirky Girls
| Quirky Girls |
 Title text: Romantic comedy heroines, I'm talking to you. |
Explanation
This is a fairly classic play on what people say they want isn't always what they mean they want. As per the comic this is particularly true when it comes to the generalisation of wanting someone "different". When the girl opens up to the guy and say how she is "different". She is met with a stereotypical, but more accurate response of the guys definition of "different".
