I gave the 2005 Tim Burton version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory another go a few weeks ago (Still sucks!) and Mike Teevee drops it within 30 seconds of first appearing on-screen. The film is working very hard to establish Mike as an awful, crude child, very quickly, but it was still jarring.

Yeah, the R word was the go-to insult for edgy kids for a looonnng drat time, and it fell in that kinda middle ground where it didn't sound childish but also didn't need a swear word so it popped up a LOT from like the mid-80s until around 2010 or so.

Joe's debut was great, but I don't think Scott knows what a general is. TNA Slammiversary 6/19/2005 "When you think of great generals, you think of Stalin, you think of Hitler, and you think of Mussolini, and when it comes to professional wrestling, you think of D'amore." - Scott D'amore

It's more like what I referred to in the 2003 version of the thread: bigotry-adjacent, in that matters pertaining to Hitler are, at minimum, adjacent to the topic of bigotry. In this case, it's calling Hitler great at something, which is awkward, but it's in character, and it works for a deluded heel, in that y'know, Hitler was a really really poo poo general. I wouldn't say that D'amore did anything wrong.

Raw 6/20/05: "I have been laughed at. I have been spat on. I have been tied to a post where Daivari gives me spanking. Oh Glorious spankings." - Cena imitating Hassan's complaints Cena didn't mind gaybaiting back then, but he was actually savvier than Stone Cold, and resisted getting racist, while still undercutting Hassan and his complaints. "These people don't hate you 'cause you're Arab American, they hate you because you rear end in a top hat American." - Cena

I remembered the Mexicools from around the time I was not watching much but still reading wrestling news, but I didn't remember how loving weird their debut was. 6/23/06 Smackdown:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQ_38p_CAMk (Just to be clear, the (likely) bigoted people involved in this sketch were the writers and Vince. The wrestlers didn't say anything that they should be criticized over. The whole thing was just entirely loving weird and off conceptually. I will sometimes be quoting people who weren't being bigoted or saying something bigoted when it's germane to the topic in general, but I will probably drop this disclaimer in future posts after a bit. I just want to be clear I'm not making GBS threads on these guys.) "What about us? What about the Mexican? Look at us you gringos. You are <unintelligible>. Yeah. Yeah gringos. You always look at us like a degraded thing. You know. You always degrade us. Even our own president degrade us y'know. But you know we are not just about the dairy<?> stuff you know about just washing toilet. We are not just about crossing the river." - Juvy "EXCUSE ME" - Psychosis "We also have a what is that bro<?>?" - Juvy "The Mexican Limo 2005!" - Psychosis "Mexican Limo <as he points at the lawnmower>. You see. We are Mexicans. Come on. Laugh about us. You know. This is the beginning. This is our statement. Now things are going to change. We are tired to be working for you. Now you gringos are going to be working for us. Yeah. Yeah. We're gonna take over Smackdown. We're gonna take over America. We're gonna take over the cruiserweight division. Because we are not Mexican. We are Mexicools" - Juvy with Super Crazy and Psicosis joining in on the last word "Mexicools!" - Juvy "Did they just say Mexicools? Yeah he said Mexicools." - Michael Cole "Mexicools?" - Taz "Can somebody explain to me what's going on around here?" - Cole "What's a Mexicool? What's that? I know what a Mexican is. I don't know what a Mexicool is." - Taz --- (JBL, on the other hand, is, as usual, an rear end in a top hat.) "Can you explain to him in English hip hop or whatever he understands?" - JBL to Benoit regarding Booker T collocation fucked around with this message at 13:33 on Dec 11, 2021 |
