Nice Hat/Live-Action TV: Difference between revisions

** And the Spacing Guild representative; you know the Guild has been knocked down a peg when he appears without his bizarre black headgear.

* Mention ''must'' go to Jayne Cobb's "cunning hat" in the ''[[Firefly]]'' episode "The Message"... knitted for him [[Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas|by his mom]].

** There's also Badger, who, despite being a villain with a questionable taste in ties and suits and sports a bare chest under his coat and vest, wears a ''nice'' little derby, referred to by Mal as a "very fine hat".

** Also, an inversion, where a [[Nice Hat]] doesn't help:

''(Jayne's sniper shot puts an entry hole in Two-Fry's hat, and his head)'' }}

** And even Mal aspires to Nice Hat-dom. "And I'd like to be king of all Londinium and wear a shiny hat."

** Aaaand just one more example: "I swear by my pretty floral bonnet I will end you."

** Aaaaaaaand another:

'''Mal:''' Well, yeah, last night I was. Had some mulled wine, pretty girl gave me a [http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lka2a1EswD1qalw95.jpg hat made out of a tree]. Nobody said I was signing up to have and to hold. }}

** It is worth noting that the ''vast'' majority of characters on the show who wear hats are bad guys. Joss Whedon half-jokingly said it was how you could always tell who the bad guys were. They always had hats.

* The ''[[America's Got Talent]]'' contestant Hannibal Means' actual performance is based on his singing, which is excellent, but he is also remembered for his unusual dressing habits, one of the most memorable of which featured a hat shaped like a rooster. More than that, he actually ''crochets'' these hats, and got Nick Cannon to wear one (which probably wasn't hard) during his most recent performance.

** I imagine the conversation went something like this:

Nick: Oh, HELL yes. }}

* ''[[Farscape]]'': When Crichton said that War Minister Ahkna scares him, Claudia Black ad-libbed the line "It's the hat."

* Cowboys Jet & Cord from Seasons 16 & 18 of ''[[The Amazing Race]]'' would never be seen without their cowboy hats, and always kept them on, even while bungee jumping. On the final leg of Season 16, Jet's character avatar at the Industrial Light & Magic challenge was even given a cowboy hat.

* When the Rangers from the future in ''[[Power Rangers Time Force]]'' get 21st-century clothing, Wes gives Trip a bucket hat to top off his ensemble (and to disguise the fact that he's a [[Human Alien]] by obscuring the crystal in his forehead.)

** If we're going to get into that franchise, we ''must'' mention the ''[[Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger]]'', [[Space Pirate|Space Pirates]] with the requisite hats (or a do-rag in the case of the [[Sixth Ranger]]) built into their Ranger helmets ''and'' their Megazord!

** Speaking of the Megazords, the ones in ''[[Mahou Sentai Magiranger]]''/''[[Power Rangers Mystic Force]]'' and ''[[Samurai Sentai Shinkenger]]''/''[[Power Rangers Samurai]]'' also have Nice Hats (a pointy wizard hat and a samurai helmet, respectively).
