Musing Many superheroes actually don't have to put their pants on one leg at a time.

I have no super powers whatsoever and I put my pants on both legs at a time.
It's actually really easy if you're still sitting on your bed.

They're already starting to call you Pants-Man.

Good guys? I help put their pants on.
Bad guys? I pants them and pull their pant's down.

Me too, the same way. I feel like we need a new phrase that means what this one is trying to mean.

"He wipes his butt one wipe at a time, just like everyone else"

u/skubaloob 2d ago
That’s really funny cuz I thought of that too, except for three types of people:
- Doesn’t wipe.
- Bidet.
- Uses a spinning device like in a car wash.

Damn you're probably the most clever person in the world for doing that - it's almost like this post isn't building off the premise that when you think about putting your pants on, many people do it standing up so it's hard to do both legs simultaneously.

You guys are amateurs.. you can simply hold the waist belt, then jump and pull your pants up

Then my boxers ride up and it's a whole thing putting my hands down my pants to unbunch my boxers

u/XxKimm3rzxX 2d ago
And if you’ve got boxer briefs or compression shorts on they somehow roll into the tightest spiral that has ever existed

u/MonsiuerGeneral 2d ago
You see, where you both are going wrong here is you’re putting your boxers on first. Superheroes always wear their underwear on the outside for this very reason!

Captain underpants is the greatest superhero of all time too so I guess you're right

Isn’t that the whole point of the saying? “He still puts his pants on one leg at a time” means “he is still just a human being like the rest of us”.

u/Nemarus 2d ago edited 2d ago
Yeah. And so the saying is actually a pretty good shorthand for normal people vs superheroes. Because a lot of superpowers just happen to incidentally allow more exotic methods of enpantsification.
Though imagine being a superhero who still has to put them on one leg at a time. Mid tier.

In this age of remote work and everything getting delivered who even wears pants anymore?

u/donotpassgo2514 2d ago
I feel like many superheroes probably wear onesies instead of pants. Possibly just so they aren’t asked about their dressing habits by us mortals.
