Added DiffLines:

* SelectiveStupidity: The hosts collect signatures from women to "End Women's Suffrage," just by phrasing it as if "suffrage" was a synonym for "suffering." To their credit, they did show several people pointing out how dumb that is and trying to correct people who had been duped, demonstrating that not everyone they met was ignorant enough to fall for it.

On reading again, this seems like a deliberate homophone / mondegreen. Not an omission, but more in line with deception in a way that isn't omission. Leaving the commented-out trope if someone who knows more about that event can confirm/deny if an actual omission occurs.


* LyingByOmission: Adam and Jimmie of got dozens of women to sign a petition to end Women's Suffrage (the right to vote) by phrasing it to sound like they meant "suffering". Things like, "Women have been suffraging in this country for decades, and nobody's done anything to stop it!"

Cross Wicking new trope. Upon re-reading it, not sure it's actually omission. Second opinions?

* ADateWithRosiePalms: Adam's frequent masturbatory habits were the butt of many jokes. They also got a lot of mileage out of Adam and Jimmy visiting a sperm bank.

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: In a bit about vasectomies one of the characters comments that it's important to him to see a puddle of semen after masturbation. It isn't entirely clear if the characters being unfamiliar with their own anatomy is part of the joke, or if the hosts legitimately thought that a vasectomy would stop them from ejaculating semen, but semen is produced in the prostate not the testicles. While their semen would no longer be fertile, it would still be ejaculated[[note]]A vasectomy removes part of the tubes that connect the testicles to the urethra, and the cut is done within the scrotum, very close to the actual "ball"[[/note]].

He also uses his pre-adolescent daughter as a human shield to get past the feminist picket line besieging the studio on "Bring Your Daughter To Work Day" but is then appalled when she joins the Juggies bouncing on their trampoline.
