On her first day in junior high, _______ is humiliated by _______ and _______, a couple of bullies. On the next morning, _______ decides to put on make-up, because she believes the only way to fit in among the 7th graders is to do what _______ and virtually all of the other 7th grade girls are doing -- look twice as old as she really is by putting on makeup. _______ thinks _______ is overdoing it, so he lets _______ help _______ with the makeup. Meanwhile, _______ tries to teach _______ how to play golf so they can impress a client who likes to play golf.

This is kind of funny, and it would have been legitamately funny had you not included the line about golfing with a client in #1. By introducing the notion of the workplace--of impressing a client who plays golf--you undercut the very humor on which your post relies: the unequivical disparitity between the two shows' themes.
Your post is a brilliant critique of political correctness.
my brother told me it got erased, so i'll repost.
