  • Pagliaci goes to the doctor and says, “help doc I’m so sad.” The doctor replies, “well, pagliaci, there’s a famous act in town where a guy eats a clock, you should go see it.”

    “But doctor” replies pagliaci sadly, “I’ve already seen it. It was unbearable!” The doctor gets up, crosses the room and slaps pagliaca for pulling that shit.

    misogynoir

    I’m trying to work what kind of film genre that would be.

    Probably a mix between 1950s film noir (read: well-dressed white men in fedoras slapping hysterical dames) and 1970s blaxploitation film (read: well-dressed black pimps in capes slapping back-talking street workers).

    The fusion of tropes probably means that the women depicted are either given cartoonish-level plot armour to endure the abuse, or, more darkly, never make it past the first scene.
