Some years ago, the phenomenon of “Tourette’s Guy”
took the internet by storm. While his popularity cannot be exaggerated—Tourette’s
Guy’s emblematic catch phrases have rapidly become part and parcel of the
popular lexicon, including such phrases as “Fuck salt”, “Bob Saget!” and
“Asshole!” —few have bothered to offer a comprehensive theoretical
interpretation of this cultural icon.
In the interest of applying the same systematic
approach as has been used for scientific hypotheses, psychological theory and
Biblical exegesis, I offer here a holistic analysis of Tourette’s Guy,
attempting to unify several disparate and apparently contradictory statements
made by said Guy.
Extracockal approach to the penis
Concerning penile references and the broader category
of penile miscellany in general, the position of Tourette’s Guy can best be
described as extracockal—focused
nearly exclusively on the dick of the Other, to the exclusion of Tourette’s
Guy’s own dick.
