SEX BURRITO posted:A while ago some cruise company was using Lust for Life by Iggy Pop to sell squeaky clean family cruises. Which was pretty weird. Iggy said something to the effect of it being good that new audiences were being exposed to his music, so he could overlook the inappropriate use of the song.

I used to listen to a lot of DipSet way back, I loved Juelz Santana in particular but haven't listened to any of their stuff in prob a decade. I found a book of mix CDs from when I first started driving (2004?) and I couldn't believe how often those guys said "no homo" in their songs, that was such a common thing in rap back then and i'd totally forgotten about it. Do people still say that? It's almost funny in hindsight, if you missed out on that the whole conceit was the rapper was about to say something that sounded totally gay but wasn't so it was prefaced with hey, no homo. I even remember it got so commonplace that we would joke with each other like "hey, no homo, but I really wanna touch your dick, bro" because it was just so absurd. Still it just sounds bizarre to me now.

I remember seeing some parodies of that kind of thing. 'No homo' turned into a complete joke very, very quickly.

In answer to the OP: Any episode of Frasier with Bulldog Briscoe or Noel Shempsky in it. Love that the show had not one, but TWO characters whose entire persona was "serial sexual harasser with a heart of gold".

A general thing about aging media that I like is that cartoons are getting more and more complex as time goes on, with the most recent arcs of two shows (Steven Universe and Star Vs the Forces of Evil) that are nominally comedies actually taking the time to allow some melancholy where it helps the story - there were a lot of serious cartoons in the 2000s-2010s, but they rarely dipped into comedy and were mostly fairly straightforward good vs evil stories even when they did mix it up, and now we have Star Butterfly realising just how terrible her home has always been under the surface, with a hopeful note that she will never stop fighting to fix it no matter how many former friends resist her and Steven Universe getting home from Homeworld to find that his reckless actions and messiah complex have caused irreversible repercussions through out Beach City. Some of them, like Sadie's burnout and the Mayor's replacement, were inevitable certainly, but the alien invasion and attempted kidnapping of it's citizens (that was mainly caused by Steven's loose tongue when first speaking to Peridot) have accelerated things. It's cool that we can have not just isolated episodes of certain shows that dip into the opposing mood when it's needed to advance the emotional core of the story.

Lonely Island (Andy Sanberg's group that did all those SNL shorts) have a song that has the guys getting more and more explicit on the premise that saying "No Homo" makes it not gay, culminating in an all male threesome.

Flyball posted:Ted Nugent had a song called "Stranglehold". Here's the lyrics for the last verse: I heard that song for the first time about a year ago and loved it. Great guitar solo. Then I looked up the lyrics. Definitely off-putting. I don't think anyone's mentioned "Little Girls" by Oingo Boingo yet. I assume it's satire of some kind, but man it's weird.

I’m pretty sure “Little Girls” is tongue in cheek, but only because of how creepy Danny Elfman sings it. I still feel weird listening to it when it comes on.

He's said that Little Girls and Capitalism are both tongue in cheek songs. I thought it was pretty obvious when I first heard it.

I'm doing a watchthrough of Cheers on Netflix, and the end of season 9 has a two-part kind of festival celebrating their 100 episodes. At some point, they play the entirety of the Cheers theme song and oh boy, that third verse.... "Roll out of bed, Mr. Coffee's dead The morning's looking bright And your shrink ran off to Europe and didn't even write And your husband wants to be a girl Be glad, there's one place in the world" why even throw that in? i don't know that many women who go through that, much less go to a dive bar and talk about it.

Also, they probably only wrote the one verse and then had to extend it when it became poplar, like with F*R*I*E*N*D*S.

I was watching some old Law & Order the other day and one particular episode from 1997 or so really stood out in terms of not aging well. The episode's crime was a mentally challenged teen (as played by Claire from Six Feet Under channeling the Simple Jack from Tropic Thunder school of acting) was raped by three classmates. Holy poo poo does everyone from the teachers to the lawyers throw around the word 'retarded' like it's going out of style. As in "McCoy! You've got to figure out how much of a retard this girl is. You won't have a case unless you can prove she's retarded enough to not give consent and those teens knew she was that retarded". Like I could have sworn by the late 90s it wasn't that kosher to use 'retarded' like that.

Reminds me of the least funny American Dad episode Tearjerker. "I'm afraid your son is... retarded." "What does it mean doctor?" "It means that he will never be.. not retarded." "Nooooo!"

Speaking of SVU, the first season has a scene where they're trying to track down who the victim of frat hazing gone too far knew, so they say they'll look at the victim's facebook. I knew that word meant something different back in the day, but it still threw my brain for a weird loop when they pull out an actual book with pictures of people in it.

I've been rewatching the first season of Survivor and I wonder if Rudy would be as popular a character today as he was back then. Not in a homosexual way, that's for sure.
