A kung fu fighter in a disco

Well, the situation itself is kind of interesting. "I kissed a girl and I liked it -- uh oh." That's a genuine reaction. But Katy herself isn't selling this as a personal drama, even as a funny one -- she's selling at as something that should make you snicker a little. And by comparison, she wants you to have a nice big laugh at "UR So Gay" (the ending, which I hadn't noticed on first listen... "you don't even like....PENIS!!!!"). But she isn't painting a situation that's actually FUNNY. There's something a little sad, and potentially touching, about the scenario as she defines it -- she did something impulsive thinking of her boyfriend, turns out it was really about her. Except with the comedy, she really really wants it to be about the boyfriend. (If Katy understood, or even attempted to convey, an idea that the problem is HER, I might actually like repressive etc. etc., because it's an interesting viewpoint in terms of confessional angst. But it's NOT interesting as an obvious joke.)
