"Hey guys, I'm doing a poll. Which do the ladies prefer… THUG LOVIN'? Or… GANGSTA LOVIN'?"

"My friend from work said gangsta, because it's more hard-core, whereas thug lovin' is more like a hobby. But another friend said gangsta lovin' is all drama and danger, whereas with thug lovin' the dude is hard, but when it comes to the ladies, he's smooth and sensitive…"

When to use it

With a group in a fun mood, at a party or a bar. Deliver it with a straight face as if it's a serious survey: the contrast makes it funny.

Follow-up

Let them argue it out, then ask what they actually find attractive in a guy. That turns the joke into a real conversation.

Why it works

A silly either-or question is easy to answer, invites teasing and gets everyone in the group talking at once.
