Time Squad/Ho Yay: Difference between revisions

*** Ah, but you forget why Tuddrussel gives him the poncho in the first place—earlier in the episode, Buck yelled at Larry for teaching Otto how to sew (something Buck finds to be "women's work") and rejected Larry's present to Buck: a denim jacket with the words "[[Incredibly Lame Pun|Tuddy]] [[Manly Gay|Bear]]" embroidered on the back [[Camp Gay|in sequins]]. Also, earlier in the episode, one of the designs Larry shows Otto is a rainbow, which is a gay pride symbol.

** "A Thrilla at Atilla's": the three protagonists each voice their own version of what happened during their mission so they can complete the report. Tuddrussell's features Larry dressed in a pink tutu, acting very much like a [[Damsel in Distress]] would, and having hearts float above his head as Buck shows off his strength and muscles, [[Unfortunate Implications|making you wonder if that's how Tuddrussell regularly sees Larry]]. Larry's reply to this portrayal of events is the icing on the cake: "Well I certainly don't remember wearing a tutu! At least [[Camp Gay|I don't think I did...]]".

** In "Father Figure of Our Country," Larry spent most of the episode shopping at the colonial stores, and showed up in the end with more pink and purple than you can imagine. He also had a [http://www3.picturepush.com/photo/a/4531391/img/4531391.png pink poodle and a face full of make-up.]

** In "Shop Like An Egyptian," it comes across quite clearly that half the intent of this particular episode was to show viewers that Larry just plain isn't attracted to women, by having him only like Cleopatra because of her fashion sense and her plans on turning the Great Pyramids into a mall (the writers ''did'' try to subvert this by having Larry declare that Cleopatra was gorgeous, but once he mentioned her matching sandals and dress, any thought of Larry not being gay was tossed out the window). There is a stark contrast between how both Tuddrussel and Larry try to attract Cleopatra's attention. The average viewer might see it as the old "two guys fighting for one woman's affection and getting rejected by a third man" plot cliche, but, if one was to look a little closer, you'll see that only Tuddrussel genuinely has a crush on Cleopatra (him mentioning "love", "Putting the moves on Cleopatra," and had hearts floating above his head for her, the latter of which is quite similar to what Larry had for Tuddrussel in a separate episode). Tuddrussel even cries uncontrollably when he and Larry get rejected by her for Julius Caesar at the end. Whereas in Larry's case, all his love for Cleopatra is actually ''only'' for her fabulous [[The Fashionista|fashion sense]], proven numerous times, by numerous statements, with him claiming that they both "Have so much in common," in that aspect. While Tuddrussel cries his rejected heart out at the end, Larry frankly looks like he doesn't care and instead goes on to comforting Tuddrussel.
