Gee, this wig weighs a ton! What dope'd wear a thing like this?

What it means
Our interpretation.
A grumble about how heavy a wig is, followed by a rhetorical jab: what fool would choose to wear something like this? The speaker is complaining about the discomfort of a fashion item and mocking anyone who'd put it on willingly.
