BioEnchanted posted:On the gay panic thing I thought Cheers did it fairly interestingly - Diane, to prove a point as she was sick of their bigotry about it, stated that there were two gay dudes in the bar, but kept who it was to herself to watch the other character's self-destruct over it, with all the characters thinking that it was the obvious two guys who were there together were the "offending" couple. However it turned out that the gay guys had actually hid themselves in the panicking crowd, and that they had not been suspected once. Making a good point about why stereotyping is harmful and counterproductive, and that homosexuals are just like everyone else? That was also a cool episode because Sam basically told his regulars to stop coming in if they had a problem with gay people.

Jmcrofts posted:The Manbearpig episode of South Park is loving shameful, especially when you realize it's not even that old. There was an overwhelming scientific consensus that man-made climate change was happening in 2006 too. I still think it's funny even if what it's making fun of is true.

BioEnchanted posted:Since people have mentioned the inverse before in this thread I think this is fair game - some of the satire in Rocko's Modern Life has actually aged fairly well. While some episodes are nowadays irrelevant due to things like cartoons being less censored and certain places getting rarer and rarer, or even just the tech leaving the portrayal behind, there was a fairly prescient subtle joke right in the second episode - The O-Town Minimall is right in the middle of O-Town National Forest - land that should be federally protected due to it's national park status. It seems in the world of Rocko, Conglom-O's lobbyists beat the government and now they can build wherever. Still one of the best jokes in any cartoon/tv show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flQXmz2AReQ

Ecoterrorists could have been a real thing if anyone actually cared about the environment. But no one does, so they don't really exist in any numbers that matter. I blame the cancellation of Captain Planet after only 6 seasons.

bean_shadow posted:The parts where Bulldog flat-out sexually harasses Roz and the way it's played for laughs hasn't aged well. What about the time he forcefully kisses her as she smacks him in the side of the head to stop him before realizing she wants to gently caress him again? I think we can all agree that's just normal everyday human courting. Nothing predatory or creepy about it.

F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:There's an interesting early Cheers episode that provides a lot of insight into LGBT acceptance in the early '80s. The guys in the bar find out that two of the guys sitting in there are a gay couple, so they spend most of the episode trying to figure out who the two offending gay guys to be, all the while trying to persuade Sam to kick them out. To his credit, Sam doesn't really give a poo poo and is pretty much of the opinion that a customer is a customer. Also Sammy basically told the regulars at Cheers that if they were going to do a "it's them or us" thing then they weren't welcome in his bar. That may have been the same episode he was supporting his catcher (heh) friend who came out of the closet.

I wish there was a listing site for murder houses or haunted houses that are being sold for dirt cheap because I would buy either in a heart beat. What's a ghost gonna do? Rattle plates until it wakes me up from my drunken stupor? Ha, good luck. Or a murder house. How many separate murders can take place in one house? I'm sure statistically speaking I'd be safer from murder in a murder house than a non-muder house.

Choco1980 posted:Nah, you guys don't realize how crazy it got. There was a period where Hollywood films were tanking in the seventies (this was before Jaws changed the entire system, basically inventing the Summer Blockbuster). And then suddenly porn with plot came along, different from the bland stuff hollywood was doing, and it sold like gangbusters. Deep Throat was just this mindblowing success, where a porn literally became the #1 movie in America for a minute. There were all kinds of weird porn films to come out of this fad. It didn't last long, but it definitely made an impact. Is this were all those weird sexploitation movies and stuff came from?

Aesop Poprock posted:I'm gonna sound square as all hell but what is the purpose of porn if you're not jerking off to it or using it as like a sex aid or whatever? Were couples going to see it to get horned up and bone once they went home? Who the gently caress is the type of person to go see porn in a theater for the story or whatever? I honestly don't understand Someone hasn't been to a porn and cheese party. Also Twisted Spoke in Chicago does Smut and Eggs night which is a lot of fun.
