Line Out Comments
"I'm the butt police, and I'm looking at your rear (rear, rear)!"

It's dumb, no question about it, but at least that line has a kind of goofy and honest (albeit juvenile) quality, and the his use of onomatopoeia to complete the rhyme is moderately clever. I would submit that "...now you get to watch to watch her leave out the window/Guess that's why they call it window pane" from Love the Way You Lie is about a million times worse, because it completely undercuts an attempt at genuine emotional weight with an awful, groan-inducing pun. Eminem couldn't hold off his impish urge to engage in silly wordplay, even when it was completely inappropriate for the emotional tone he was trying to set, and that line basically ruins the entire song.

Sorry, the line about "guess that's why they call it window pane" in "Love the Way You Lie" is still much dumber.

"They said I can't rap about being broke no more
They ain't say I can't rap about coke no more
(AH!) Slut, you think I won't choke no whore
'til the vocal cords don't work in her throat no more?!"
