Context Funny / Macklemore

Go To

1* Pretty much the entirety of "Thrift Shop", though we'll only give a few examples so as not to make [[DarthWiki/HowNotToWriteAnExample this edit seem like a cop out.]]
2** "Walk up to the club, like, what up I got a [[BiggerIsBetterInBed big cock!]]"
3*** In some censored versions, "cock" is censored by a [[ItMakesSenseInContext rooster sound]].
4** "Probably should have washed this, smells like Music/RKelly's [[TakeThat sheets]]"
5*** ''[[{{Squick}} ~Piss]][[DontExplainTheJoke sssssssssssssssssssssssssssss...~]]''
6*** "But shit, [[WorthIt it was 99 cents!]]"
7** "I'mma take your grandpa's style! No, for real, ask your grandpa, can I have his hand me downs?"
8*** "Thank you!"
9** "They had a broken keyboard, I bought a broken keyboard, bought a [[{{Squick}} skeet blanket]] [[note]]A skeet blanket is a blanket people use to masturbate into[[/note]], then I bought a knee board."
10* The ''video'' for "Thrift Shop" is this for those familiar with UsefulNotes/{{Seattle}} - all of those locations are actual thrift shops in the city [[note]] Though the Value Village on Capitol Hill had to close due to rising rents [[/note]], including the Goodwill Outlet on Sixth Street South where they take all the junk and oddball stuff [[EvenBeggarsWontChooseIt that the regular Goodwill can't even sell at their stores]] and sells it by the pound (those are the "bins" he's referring to).
11* Some choice moments in "White Walls" include:
12** After Macklemore raps the line "in my C A D I L L A C, bitch," you can faintly hear "...biaaaaatch." It's the matter of fact delivery that sells it.
13** After he mentions "In my paint, wet, dripping, shining like my 24s" before sheepishly admitting in the very next line, "... I don't got 24s..."
14** While bragging on the car, he feels the need to add, "Don't pay attention to the mileage." It's made better by the fact that it's apparently being said [[ItMakesSenseInContext by Angel!Bernie Mac]].
15* The exposition voice-over at the beginning of "And We Danced". "He brought the only woman he ever loved… his horse."
16* In this [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EY_cKt1FXq0 Funny or Die video]], a greedy record producer ask Macklemore and Ryan Lewis to change a lot of things about them. Macklemore refuses but does agree that Ryan Lewis needs to change his name because it's both first names. Ryan Lewis' reaction is priceless!
17* The music video for ''Glorious'', on top of being incredibly adorable and heartwarming, culminates in Mack hiring several male strippers for his grandmother and her friends; the looks on their faces are hilarious.
