I think the clip is especially funny/poignant because we've all been there. It's total hopeful denial; nudging the ball back into play, thinking "oh, this is bad", hoping that no one noticed. THAT is relatable.

I know this girl. She's my sisters best friend. She's the biggest sweetheart and a great softball player. Go (name redacted)! You may be in hell now, but this will be a funny story some day!

I dislike how many articles I see now (not just on Jez and this isn't meant as a criticism of the author) that are: "man/woman did (something crazy) because of (something trivial).
