I'm sure the script writer and director both thought that line was original & hilarious.
Much like the role McDonalds plays in fast-food humor, Speedos have become the all purpose 'go to' joke for inappropriate male fashion.
It's like Chinese water torture: I've got a sense of humor and the occasional Speedo joke is funny, but there's a constant drumbeat of anti-Speedo jokes that aren't funny. That poisons the atmosphere for someone who wants to try wearing Speedos, but lacks confidence. Can't joke writers spread their targets around a bit?
