The story telling is on point so you're just waiting for the joke to destroy but it continually delivers nothing. And as that is the set piece of the special I can understand it wiping the memory of the rest of thw special.
Dunno, I really like that bit. It doesn't have a punch line but it works as a piece of literature, basically. I think Freud, who once wrote that jealousy in heterosexual relations is often just sublimated homosexual desire, would've enjoyed it.

Like, way to defend mindless bureaucracy, you prune faced cunt. Clearly I forged a fake ID that wasn't even current so that I could hang around the guy actually buying the booze cause we're just that dastardly. Bitch was probably mad wet just at the thought of defending the 18th Amendment.

Yeah I like literally everything about the bit, the word choice, the pantomime running down the field with the old timey pajama cap, the fake Chinese when ordering NFL prostitutes, everything, but it just doesn't make me laugh. It's great performance art but lousy comedy and oddly impressive that it accomplishes this weird task.
