Have you ever had to deal with an aggressive bigmouth? For those of you outside of Canada, Ed the Sock is a VJ on MuchMusic. He's in a similar vein as Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, who sometimes appears on Conan O'Brien. Basically, he's a sock puppet who insults everyone and everything, which kills everybody else with laughter.
I've been in situations where I'm dishing out an Ed-the-Sock treatment to people, but also in situations where I'm on the receiving end. Usually, I just laugh and try to move the conversation on. I know that the ideal response would be a funny comeback, but anyone familiar with Ed or Triumph will tell you that the "victims" who try comebacks usually look like idiots (although less so than the ones who react negatively).
Any comments?
