Monk's: female body art male Jeep

What happens

14:49–15:02

At Monk's, Jerry and Elaine discuss the naked fallout. Elaine argues the female body is a work of art, the male body utilitarian ('like a Jeep')—hideous, lumpy, simian. Jerry realizes he can't stop picturing Melissa naked, and she can't unsee him naked.

Why not? It's a good look for a woman.

14:56

The male body is utilitarian. It's for getting around. It's like a Jeep.
