So the doc calling him weak is a good example of “negging” - when someone manipulates you into doing what they want by insulting you in a subtle way. I”m still not sure whether the comic is portraying this (the insecure guy trying to prove himself) as funny or if the doc is gonna learn his lesson later ... I hope it’s the second thing. Him preying on the other guy’s insecurities isn’t hot ... it’s pathetic.
