Transcript:
Pig: Hey, Goat... I'd like you to meet my friend, the loofah. Goat: Hey, Loofah, how are you? Loofah: Whatever. Gotta go. Goat: I never knew how aloof a loofah could be.
Unworthy of Cartoon-Boy’s more usual exquisitely crafted puns, this simple wordplay should have been scrubbed.—Or, we could hit Cartoon-Boy over the head with a bat….
Hyde: “No, Fez, man …. when you’re looking for girls, you gotta be aloof.”Fez: “Did you just call me a ‘loof’? Because if so, I’ll have to kick you in your …” [use your imagination here]Hyde: “No … A-loof. It means ‘distant’, ‘far away from’.”Fez: “You’re the loof.”

It’s only a quick stop at Big 5 and a 90 min drive. First go will be a wiffle ball bat, then if it continues we can work our way up.

The loofah wasn’t being aloof. He had to go to the loo .. for a while.

Does a aloof loofah aim for the oompah-loompahs?!?

I honestly thought that the loofah had legs that were hidden by the wall. It could even have arms, if they were set low enough.
Reppr Premium Member about 10 years ago
Thank goodness the loofah had enough sense to leave before things got out of hand. It’s not aloof, just discerning.
