MUH CAPTCHA
Oh, I see how that whole hindsight thingy works now.
Everybody hated captcha back then nobody liked it at all.
He was on t-shirts but never really that big a hit in my neighborhood.
I'd have to say Mushmouth was a cult fav and then later everybody started using whatcha talkin bout willis.
Fonzie was a nigger everybody I grew up with back then thought he was a F&G poseur.
Three's Company was prolly the last of the fag bashing on TV - Eddie Murphy movies in film.
What made that show an immediate success was Mr. Roper.
The whole Jack is gay thing, not fucking his ugly desperate wife, and being a closet perv.
Really resonated with people as funny af.
Media/TV Show fag bashing.
They didn't bash things as directly as they bash wrongthink today, it was subtle.
And Three's Company used being in the closet as a way to work the old system.
Acknowledging the closet today is a major no-no punishable by exclusion from the club.
Anyway…
Mr. Roper didn't love Jack, he wanted to boot him out but Mrs. Roper always talked/threatened him out of it.
Roper did like that Jack was gay but only because he could make fun of him.
Yeah, I'm aware of beating up fags for money as a real meme.
But, bashing is also a multiple meaning term when it comes to belittling or demeaning something.
The Mr. Roper smirking close-up was legendary.
He did it after every Ur Gay Jack joke.
He was always at his happiest then.
Whitewashing the history books.
Roper ripped into fagdom the way most Americans did back then.
And the public loved him similar to how they loved Archie Bunker.
That's why HW pulled the plug and spun off the doomed to failure The Ropers and turned 3'sC into Don Knotts stale shit.
Even Chrissy got booted - they were totally killing it man.
>get over yourself
Well, I'm right about the cultural impact of Mr. Roper and his place in history at a turning point.
That's all I was looking for - legit prove me wrong feedback.
I'm with you on the bashing part and will think of a new term for it that is moar solitary in the multiple meaning department.
Developing…
Jack Tripper needs to take some heat as well.
He was overly flamboyant whenever he was gaylarping in front of Roper trying not to get kicked out.
How about Fag Mocking?
Roper (tv) & Eddie (movies) were the last ones allowed to do the always guaranteed to get laughs fag mocking thing.
Well, it's definitely the fuck with big ships ammo box they opened recently.
Q never did say how much ammo they have, just that it's good when they waste it.
Good in the Precipiss multiple meaning context that is.
