Boo. I'm laughing with him. The over-the-topness was right on point for this video.

I'm guessing they probably shot this back when they were filming the movie.

Did KITT run over your dog or something

Saying it falls short of creative triumph isn't the same as saying it's a bad show.

Better than the Titanica kid.

Very glad to hear that. And it makes me feel less crass to ask: whom did your kid meet and how did it go?

My guess is that they didn't intend it to be as accusatory as that word does come across, if only because of their qualifier recognizing that people didn't see it as hateful at the time. The fact that this was an off-the-cuff response and not a written statement makes me wonder if they would have phrased it…

This is going to blow your mind but a whole lot of the America families staying up late to watch Saturday Night Live together weren't so big on British prog rock. I don't recall any Mick Jagger impressions on the playground but there were quite a few Wayne's World quotes.

You just pronounced you will no longer be an ally for marginalized people because some rando on the internet disagreed with you about Pat. The allyship of your kind is worth less than nothing. You demand marginalized people stop expressing themselves and their experiences on pop culture discussion boards and panels…

No… But I am glad I saw it if only for how familiar it all was when my family dealt with a sibling's alcoholism.

You were laughing at Pat sketches 10 minutes ago…

Because it'll create awkwardness for you at the Pat fandom conventions?

"any more" lol

Because there still aren't really very many examples of positive trans and non-binary pop culture figures to draw from and because a lot more people watched 90s SNL than Orange is the New Black. Pat was the face of gender ambiguity throughout the formative years of many trans and non-binary people, and that sort of…

I've seen Soloway's comment compared to Bible burning and crucifixion in this very comment section.

I don't think it's hard to believe it was really more than a molehill. Like I said elsewhere in these comments, I remember as a cis girl being afraid that I'd look like Pat if I cut my hair too short. As a kid watching "grown up" comedy I inferred a primer for how adult society and humor works. I interpreted from the…
