At a holiday party last weekend, Mike Parsons revealed to his friends that he does not like the popular card game, Cards Against Humanity. “I had been keeping it a secret for a while… In theory the game sounds hilarious and fun, but it’s not, and couldn’t let it go any longer, I had to speak up.”

“You play the card ‘A Big Black Dildo’, it doesn’t matter what the question is, it should be hilarious. But in practice, when ALL the cards are some variation of ‘Big Black Dildo’, its only hilarious for about five minutes, but after that, it’s mildly amusing at best”

Once Mike came out about his contempt for the game, his other friends finally had the courage to reveal that they were not fans either.

Mary Edwin, the wife of Mike’s best friend, was the next to speak up. “I thought I was the only one not having a good time. I couldn’t tell them that this game completely bores me, I thought I would come off as a prude.”

Mike’s college roommate, Jeff Jenkins, owns the game. He describes how he ended up with a game they all loathe. “I played it for the first time at a friend’s house. Everyone else was having such a good time that I went along with it. I must have been a little too convincing, apparently I seemed to enjoy it enough that they gave it to me as a birthday gift”

Mike felt validated when he discovered that the creators of the game are fully aware that it sucks. The creators freely admit, “The success of the game is built around a premise that sounds like it SHOULD be fun. No one can admit that they don’t like it without coming off as a party-pooper”
