Can lesbians ever have too many tents? Comedian's viral TikTok has us giggling
"Sounds like a lesbian problem."
A lesbian comedian's back-and-forth with an audience member lamenting her wife's obsession with buying tents is bringing the camping lesbians out to play.
Kristin Key had been in the midst of doing crowd work during a show in Australia when one audience member bluntly shared what she considered to be a problem in her marriage.
"My wife keeps buying tents," she called out.
"Sounds like a lesbian problem," Key quipped as the rest of the crowd laughed.
@kristinkeycomedy ⛺️ Can you really have too many tents? #camping #lesbian #camp @comedy #standup (recorded live in Sydney @comedystoresyd)
A love of camping is one of those stereotypes lesbians just aren't going to be beating anytime soon, right up there with driving a Subaru and wearing Birkenstocks. Doesn't even matter if these things are true or even widespread anymore, they're just an undeniable Known Fact of lesbian culture. That was made even more clear by responses to the clip, as the comment section of Key's TikTok was filled with kindred spirits.
"I have 3: a 6 person, 10 person, and 2 room cabin with a front porch. Plus a changing tent. And a sun shade beach tent," wrote @toebeans_and_rice.
"To be fair, they have different purposes!" @runningtomtns insisted. "You need a backpacking one, a car camping one, a massive one that all your friends can fit in together when there's a downpour so you have a place to all hang."
And sometimes you just have to embrace the culture rather than fight against it.
"Dude, I don't think there's anything wrong with her; I think my wife's just made a new friend," Key ultimately admitted after an amusingly escalating back-and-forth. "So I don't know what your question was. I'm assuming it's 'Why is my wife so fucking awesome?' I don't know, but you gotta hang on. You gotta stake her down, if you know what I mean."
"That's what we're doing with the lesbian army," she added. "We're just going to build tents."
Alright, who's bringing the carabiners?
Rachel Kiley is presumably a writer and definitely not a terminator. She can usually be found crying over queerbaiting in the Pitch Perfect franchise or on Twitter, if not both.
