Bisexuality immediately doubles your chances for a date on Saturday night.

In this one-liner, Dangerfield uses a mock “practical” observation about dating to deliver a risqué joke built on arithmetic. The humor depends on treating sexual orientation as a numbers game: if you’re attracted to more than one gender, your pool of potential partners is larger, so your odds of finding a date “double.” It also reflects a common stand-up persona move—reducing complicated human experience to a blunt, self-interested calculation—while leaning on taboo topics for shock value. Read today, it can be seen both as a quick, clever bit of comic logic and as an example of how mainstream comedy often framed bisexuality as a punchline rather than an identity.
