Wow. I didn't find most of them funny, but they certainly committed to the bit (as is their way). I was amused by Tosh being the reference point.

The point of a lot of these family guy bits is to be intentionally hit or miss as it's just a bunch of bar dudes spewing random insults. Note some non-sequiturs and relatively benign insults included as well. Those are intentional "misses".
Which is not to say that every intended hit lands, only that they swing wide or nonsensical on purpose on occasion.

What is the point of Brian on the show? Please compare and contrast with other straight men throughout cinematic history.

My point was that some of the insults are not supposed to land. That you don't find them funny is intentional.

Dude. You wrote, paraphrased, "I don't find these unfunny jokes funny", but I'm supposed to know that you actually do get it, but just chose to write something that implies the exact opposite.
My explanation was sincere. Your response was snarky. That's when the rolly eyes were broken out.
Digging a bit, it is probably an ill advised attempt to appear thinner. With the vest, it probably has the opposite effect.
Donald Trump has had a confounding relationship with his ties, from the scotch-taped to the infamously, strangely lengthy. While the jury’s still out on why he’s yet to just buy a simple tie clip, we finally have an answer to the question that has plagued many: Why does Trump wear such giant ties?
In former New Jersey governor Chris Christie’s forthcoming memoir, Let Me Finish, he says that Trump apparently thinks the long garment has a slimming effect on one’s body. According to The Guardian, which obtained an early copy of the book, Christie writes that during the 2016 presidential election, Trump advised him to wear longer ties so that it would make him appear thinner.

Does the guy behind Trump come closest to the ideal fit?
Yes, because his vest isn't stupidly long. Vest shouldn't be that much longer than the jacket. If at all.
Whoever let him wear that needs to be fired. Or given a medal. Not sure which.
Trump's sleeve length is all wrong too, no? Not that I'll ever wear a tux, but just in case.
Yes. Presumably to hide his hands and/or make them appear larger.

Side by side the sleeve look fine with shoulders in a relaxed position but the jacket is too short and that is exacerbated by the vest being too long. If I had to guess, he wanted input into how fat he is and the tailor sucked it up and let POtuS be the expert. But that's just a guess.

I want tRump out of office and facing charges for everything he has been a part of as much as anyone but the whole flap regarding that ridiculous tux is a bit to "tan suit" for me. I couldn't care less about his lack of fashion sense or personality. I want him to answer for his actions.

Whatever. This isn’t approaching anything like the tan suit nonsense.
