TOP THREE WAYS WAS A BAD SHOW Ostensibly a show for teens, Nickelodeon's Hey Dude was primer for tweens in how to be an awful. It was sexist and racist, and probably other ist's too. You the viewer identified with Buddy, the bumbling city-slicker owner's son.  1. An important lesson oft reviewed was that girls were just as good, if not better, at handling horses and chores and challenges than boys. Girls rule boys drool! That's feminism, right? 2. It was also important to feel good about the inclusion of a Hopi Indian. Hey Dude was multicultural, y'all! No need to get too deep into this, I think Ted's fallen in the water trough again brb gotta save him. 3. Finally I leave you with this, perhaps the greatest reason why Hey Dude is contemptible. Imagine the reality of a dude ranch run by a bunch of teenagers too busy playing grab-rear end to work. It had to suck to be a guest--you spent your time and money on this!--but for Hey Dude, your vacation is merely a plot device. |
