The episode where Hayley and Jeff find a Lambo wheel has a pretty spot on impression of the Rock.

Ehhh, they still don't actually portray Debbie well. Like at the end of the episode there's the "you had me at lasagna" joke when she's reconciling with Steve.

I take this to mean their portrayal of Debbie as being overweight? I'm not looking to get into a big debate over this as I can see how someone would find the character to be distasteful or fat shaming. I don't mind the line personally, Debbie likes to eat, so do I, I can relate to it and it's not like that is her sole character trait. I've been watching 30 Rock recently and I'm curious if anyone found Liz Lemon's food obsession distasteful for the sake of comparison.

Also, I'm not looking to bring Debbie back, at least not as Steve's love interest, but I did enjoy her as a character. Steve getting a steady girlfriend could be interesting but his desperate horniness is a pretty fundamental aspect of the character.

Hej min vän, hur står det till?
At this point I'd rather Steve have some female friends than girlfriend. I like the "steve is a sensitive goodboy to a humorous extent" angle they've been taking him in more than horny jerk steve.

Ali was one of the better-developed and characterized one-time pairings in the show, which is probably why she comes up in this thread more often than the others have. She'd be prime candidate to make a more 'regular' character at the school for Steve.

I actually think Debbie got worse AFTER her introduction episode, which was pretty good. Stan doing aerobics to Let's Hear It For The Boy will never not be solid gold. That song choice was absolute :discourse:



After that Debbie always came off to me as someone with lovely values as a person, like brow-beating Steve about taking the "moral high road" when someone is getting bullied, or thinking Etan was immature for getting upset about his Bar Mitzvah gifts being stolen (which is actually a totally fine thing to get upset about, even if Etan was a dick in that episode).

I mean, she learns her lesson and even apologized to Steve for not realizing what it was like to have someone come after someone you care about, and in the other example the dude was acting annoying about his presents throughout the party, even before it turns out to be the money.

Maybe but it's also an aspect of his character that has been pretty much completely used up so it's time to do something new

I mean him getting a permanent girlfriend would be a good way to permanently put away "horny jerk Steve"

the best thing would be if steve got a girlfriend, but she's religious or whatever so she doesn't want sex till marriage. so he's still virgin steve but also in a relationship, and he can maybe slowly run the bases but maybe not.

I'm rewatching Fellow Traveler and noticed that Freddy Underwood was the name of one of his earlier personas, and Freddy introduces him to "Grandma Macadoo" which was the name he gave Francine in his Baywatch opening credits parody.

E: Oh, these are all different persona names he's taken on, neat

That's honestly a really cool bit of lore that implies a lot of Roger's persona names come from people he's met in is incredibly long life who were important to him.

I wonder if he'll have a persona named "Francine Smith" in the far future.

Somehow that's very Steve. Finally, successfully get the girl and it gets quietly written out without explanation. Even Steve doesn't know why; he just has these painful thoughts at night in bed he can't account for.

IMO this was another case of ruining the joke by showing it. It was far funnier when they mention that Klaus wiped Hayley on the court because your brain starts going "What? HOW?!"
