Reminds me a bit of Bud Bundy in “Married with children.” “Oh, Bud, your arms are so strong, especially the right one. Do you work out?”

I thought she was the obnoxious Kathy Griffin until I looked again. Anyhow, if I walked into the National Arm Wrestling Championships and I saw Cully McCaulken with The Incredible Hulks right arm attached to him, I'd turn around and walk out.
