Sometimes humor is just juxtaposition.

Tough guy, gentle herbal remedy.

It comes off better like this....

Slow your roll mothafucka. I'm tryin' to get my herbal tea on.

Yo, yo man doesn't sound tough enough.

It's funny how humor gets analyzed with the juxt of positions and what not. :ermm:

Humor comes down to three things

Stereotypes, unexpected outcomes, and play on words. Or any combination of them.

This is all three. The man not only breaks away from his stereotype, but goes to something you would never expect, at the same time he says it in his same stereotypical lingo which would fall under play on words.
