a lot of fandom seems to gloss over the fact that cas is like, funny? like has a dry sense of humor. often it gets pigeonholed into naivete or cluelessness, which in the earlier seasons is sometimes genuine, but take, for example:
“But come on, dried dung can only be stacked so high.”
“I’m not ashamed to say that my big brother knocked me into next week.”
“It’s a shortened version of my name.”
“The bird represents God. And coyote is man, endlessly chasing the divine, yet never able to catch him. It’s…it’s hilarious.”
“[What the hell?] Guess again.”
“Uh, you could try….insouciant, maybe.”
“You should’ve seen Luke.”
“[Do I look like I’m joking?] …you never look like you’re joking.”
“Just so you understand….why I can’t help.”
“[How was Jerusalem?] Arid.”
“[What was riding in a car like?] Uh…slow.”
“[I’m dead?] Condolences.”
“Don’t ask stupid questions.”
“[How’d you get here??] I took a bus.”
“[‘Hello? Hello??’] Uh…that is still the term.”
“It seems this is going to require talking to people.”
“I got this. I don’t got this.”
“[to a cat] Hey, I’m not through with you.”
cas’ humor is weird and offbeat and esoteric because….he is? cas is weird and offbeat and esoteric. luv it.
