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.”
“I’m an angel, you ass.”
“I missed television.”
“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.”
“Less dumb, less ass.”
“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.
