How does that rate on The Mindy Scale of Fail? Let's review. Mindy attempts humour using a tried an tested but tired comedy sketch show scenario. It is confusing to the reader as the punctuation is non-existent, the dialogue is too contrived and the attempted punchline is poor beyond words. This coupled with the use of a 1950s phone to provide sound effects means surely it must rate highly on the Scale of Fail. Its one redeeming quality is that at least the gag tries to be current. Overall, this is not the worst in a long line of fails but it is a God awful attempt at humour from someone with poor social skills and a small cock. 6/10.
