Christopher Moore, uses for his humour stereotypes of male and female behavior. Please explain. I will be looking in particular for the quality and sufficiency of your evidence and analysis.

A stereotype is a generalization of certain groups or classes of people. A male and female stereotype can for example stand for male being childish and female manipulative.
In the American authors, Christopher Moore, humoristic book You suck he uses stereotypes of male and female behavior in absurd situations. In this book Moore writes about a teenage vampire relationship and in the first chapter, "Get over it, a lot of people are dead" the readers get introduced to the main characters, Tommy and Jody.

Tommy is described as a typical male stereotypne; childish and a guy that only cares about physical interaction. In the beginning of this chapter there is a conversation between the young couple about why Jody drank Tommy´s blood and why he let her he claimed, "that´s not true, it was because you needed me." But the true was, "He was lying; it was because of the sex". In another discussion they were having, and this time about the case when Tommy had sex with Jody while she was unconscious, he argued in a childish way that he was just being friendly, "like when you put a quarter in someone else´s parking meter when they aren´t there- you know they appreciate it later". Later on Tommy says another childish comment, "Well-uh-yeah, but you´re not even human. You´re just some foul dead thing".

Furthermore when the couple had calmed things down and Tommy was trying to understand and adapt to his new life as a Vampire he felt a huge hunger and wanted to eat a Burrito. Jody was an experienced vampire and recommended him to not eat it, but he insisted, " Ha, that´s cute". He took a big bite and grinned at her as he chewed". In Jody´s case, she is being described as a female stereotype, manipulative and emotional, "Jody sniffled, completely for effect", "Great, she thought, in control once again".
The readers get to experience the typical stereotype in the beginning of the chapter by her explanation in why she converted Tommy into a vampire, "I wanted us to be together".

"We´re fucked. Together. Like Romeo and Juliet, only we get to be a sequel." Jody also claimed she turned Tommy into a vampire for them to be together for the rest of their life's. This could be seen as another evidence of how Moore describes the female stereotype character in the manner of being manipulative.
Furthermore she tries to manipulate him with her body, but it didn´t work "She couldn´t believe that he didn´t respond to the naked persuasion. What kind of monster had she created?".
"If it turned out that he was going to be nineteen forever, she might end up having to kill him for real." the chapter ends in the explanation of how Jody gets worried she might have done the wrong decision by turning a childish teenager into an undead creature, a vampire.
