Wit & Attitude Quote by Johnny Vegas

Vegas is doing two jobs at once here: flattering women with power while skewering the fragile mechanics of male “leadership.” On the surface, it’s a bit of comic strategy talk - win the women, and the men will trail behind like shopping carts with a bad wheel. Underneath, it’s a neat inversion of the old assumption that women are the persuadable audience and men are the rational default. Vegas flips that script, then punctures it with a wink: men aren’t nobly decisive; they’re often performative, status-driven, and terrified of being out of step with what women seem to approve.

The line works because it’s not a manifesto; it’s a mischievous stage insight dressed up as folk wisdom. “Gentlemen” is doing heavy lifting, too. It’s mock-respectable, a word that suggests manners and authority, then immediately gets undercut by “so foolish” and “easily led.” That whiplash is the joke and the critique: masculinity as a costume that comes with remarkably little steering capacity.

Context matters: Vegas’s persona trades on vulnerability and boozy candor, the bloke who admits what other men try to launder into dignity. In a comedy club, “win the women over” also signals a practical truth about energy in the room - women laughing early can recalibrate what’s acceptable for everyone else. The subtext isn’t that women are manipulators; it’s that men often outsource their judgments to whatever keeps them from looking foolish, then call it following.
