First, Sarah Silverman made a hilarious music video for boyfriend Jimmy Kimmel called "I'm F***ing Matt Damon." Then Kimmel countered with a response called "I'm F***ing Ben Affleck," which upped the ante and became a "We Are The World" spoof, complete with cameos by Brad Pitt, Robin Williams, Josh Groban, Cameron Diaz, Huey Lewis, and many more. Both videos became huge YouTube hits.
All the guest celebrities Kimmel gathered to sing an idiotic and obscene song is indeed a scream. And the very idea that Kimmel and Affleck are lovers is just a thigh slapping laugh riot. Everyone knows these two are as straight as John Wayne at a Texas barbecue, and most of America still thinks that two guys in love is a total joke.
Kimmel and his writers, rested from being on strike, show their rejuvenated creativity by hauling out 25-year-old flaming fag stereotypes. They know a couple of certifiably straight stars pretending to be big queens will have them rolling in the aisles. So, they open with Kimmel and Affleck in an open-air bar populated by a shirtless West Hollywood harem. They stand at a bar with a blender and glass of what looks like a strawberry daiquiri, and on the bar sits a large bowl of fruit. Get it? Fruit. Get it? They're FRUITS. Get it?
Affleck is wearing a tight green shiny spandex T-shirt, and Kimmel wears a leopard print scarf and what looks like a flesh colored body stocking displaying his prominent nipples. Then, we switch to a scene with the two on a bed wearing matching robes, and Ben is styling Jimmy's hair with a blow dryer. (Get it? Blowjob.) Then, Ben paints Jimmy's toenails. Everybody knows fags like to paint their toenails.
We then see the two facing each other in what looks like a clip from Xanadu, both wearing shiny disco wear, as they sing and move closer and closer together, almost kissing full on the mouth. As their faces move closer, the audience's laughter rises to an outraged crescendo, almost to a scream of horror. Ohmigod, are they going to actually kiss? Aaaaaah! Whew, they don't. We're safe.
Then we move to a studio to the epically stupid celebrity chorus, as we hear more censored bleeps than lyrics. The uber-serious Josh Groban is especially funny. But wait, we're not done with the funny fag stuff--we're never done with the funny fag stuff. Jimmy and Ben walk along arm in arm in their tight Ts and Daisy Duke cutoff jean shorts, then drive in their lemon colored convertible, and who pulls up next to them and blows them a kiss but Harrison Ford. Oh, my God, Han Solo is a fag! Are you just dying with laughter yet?
You know what would have been a really audacious kicker to make it a genuine comedy classic? If they had concluded with Jimmy and Ben getting the ever loving crap beaten out of them and left bleeding on the sidewalk. After all, gay bashing is in vogue around the world and several gays are either attacked or murdered in the US alone every few months, so the stereotypes might at least have been a little more 2008 rather than 1980.
Next up, let's see Jimmy to do a video where he's f**king a famous negro, running around with chitlins, watermelons and a spear, while tap dancing and singing "Shortnin' Bread." Let the hilarity begin!

Oh boo-effing-hoo. If you can't stand a little stereotypical humor, don't leave your house, don't turn on your television, and stay off the Internets.
You'll find gays, blacks, whites, the rich, fundies, and everyone else stereotyped here:

lets me a little homoclueless.
The humor, to most gay guys under the age of 150 is not homophobic is nature.
Most people assume that the former college roomies and ultraclose friends were at some point um...very close.
The humor is that Kimmel isnt trying to get revenge on Sarah, although he does in the video, but that he's getting revenge on Matt Damon by letting him get a taste of the same apples.
When Don Cheadle sings in the song: We hope Matt will understand", what do you think that's supposed to be referring to.
What's hilarious about this is that the implication is not only that Jimmy is also with a hot male sex symbol---which matches Sarah being with Matt, but also that Jimmy is willing to go gay in order to revenge himself on Damon.
Sheesh....its humor that works for even straight lunkheads.
Surprised you didnt know that.
The humor is better subtle though, without having to call it out and wait for denials.

When a comedian points things out about people, regardless of race or sex or sexual preference, we laugh because there often is a seed of truth in there, albeit presented in stereotypical form. But we are laughing at the stereotype and not the fact that, for example, gay people may paint each other's toe nails. This sketch leaned toward feminizing *Jimmy and Ben* in the guise of homosexuality, rather than making fun of gay people. They were making fun of each other!
Maybe you should direct your writing (which again I find excellent) toward Mike Douchebaguckabee and the other Christian bigots who are against equal rights because they believe in a book of fables written by uneducated and poorly imaginative men. These people should make you cringe, not comedians.
Lighten Up.

However, I have met gays who are flamboyant and would be all "faggy" as you would put it. Maybe you have trouble with flamboyant gays or something. Do you think there is something wrong with them? Do they act too faggy for you, and you prefer them to act more straight.
I will agree that the American public needs to grow up a little. Its funny. I watch tons of British TV where there is more variety. One of my favorite shows, Torchwood, stars a gay man (John Barrowman) playing a bisexual. There are regular kissing sessions between men and women, men and men, and women and women. At first it was shocking, but it is really no big deal. We are too fast in America to judge and condemn. Does two men kissing on TV make me any less heterosexual. No. Does two men kissing make straight men cringe as they doubt their own sexuality. Yeah, probably.

I have since shared with all my gay friends, and except for my own life partner (go figure), all feel the same way. Perhaps it has something to do with Ben Afleck's support for the Human Rights Campaign. My guess is that every one in the video asked their best gay friend for advice and were told to lay it on thick. Lance Bass didn't have to ask anyone for advice of course.
Honestly I thought this video make fun of those who hate us.
