There is truth in what they say about the sexes. Men like cars; women like clothes. I also like cars because they take me to clothes.

The humor depends on a two-step reversal. First, Rudner invokes a conventional generalization about gendered tastes, inviting the audience to recognize the cliché. Then she undercuts it by aligning herself with the “men like cars” side—but only because cars function as a means to reach the supposedly feminine object of desire, clothes. The joke satirizes consumer desire and the way stereotypes flatten individuality, while also acknowledging how people strategically adopt interests for practical ends. Its light, self-deprecating tone is characteristic of Rudner’s comedy: it critiques the stereotype even as it uses it as a shared cultural reference point.
