The Very Tall Husband made this banner a while back as a sig file for the Something Awful forums. Since we were talking so much about Thundercats earlier, I thought I’d share the love.

The gay inter-species love.

FEEL IT.

What's that in your pocket, Lion-O? Snarf snarf.

oh… god…

Just the mental images cascading and careening through my gray matter are enough to make me wish for a bottle of vodka and sweet obvlivion. Let’s not even talk about the imaginary sounds…

I LOVE it!

I missed this programme in my childhood (too busy watching educational programmes from the BBC in black and white).

So could somebody explain what exactly is a Thundercats ho?

That is more than a little creepy. I think it might be a lot creepy.

Oh Stephen. You poor, poor baby. You don’t know what you were missing. I will attempt to address the gaps in your education with the following pictures, all unaltered screencaps I grabbed via Google:

Yes, yes, YES!
Cheetara will totally freak out when she wakes up and finds out that it’s actually Snarf putting that look on her face, not Lion-O.

Tie me up, tie me down
Really, when I look at some of these pictures, I wonder why people made such a huge fuss over the alleged homoerotic overtones of Spongebob Squarepants....

Catfight!!!
“Lion-O likes ME best!”
“No, I look more like a drag queen, I’M his favorite!”

HOOOOOO!
Hey, look, it’s not just romance novel heroines who can arch themselves like that!

Er. Whoa.
I don’t think there’s anything I can add to this screencap that can make it look any worse than it is already.

Funniest damn thing I’ve read all week!  (How can I make an avatar of that image and text, I wonder?) It does make me question a little - with Thundercats and He Man and Superfriends, etc. - was it ALL intentional on the part of the creators, or was there some subconscious working out of some personal issues going on there?  It also reminds me of the denial in the 1980s at even suggestion that Boy George could possibly be just the tiniest bit gay - it was obvious and there and yet, somehow, no one would believe it/speak of it at the time.

There, there, Sarah. Neither are those two dudes from Wham!

*hides all articles about George Michael from Sarah*

Oh, come on. He’s a man… without conviction… He’s a man… Who doesn’t know… How to sell… a contradiction… He comes and goes… He comes and gooooeeeesss…

Dude, even when I was a little girl I knew homeboy was batting for his own team. And the VHS special just confirmed it.

*humming Karma Chameleon for the rest of the day*

Thanks, Candy, it’s all so much clearer now.

So are Thundercats more gay than the Pink Panther, or less gay?

Picture of Lilith Saintcrow Lilith Saintcrow said on...

*tongue in cheek*

Is it possible to be more gay than the Pink Panther without turning into a glop of vinyl-covered hair gel? I mean, I thought the Pink Panther was like the terminus of gayness.

The Pink Panther is not gay. He’s an effortlessly stylish heterosexual who all the men wish they could be, and all the chicks wanna be with. Especially that cigarette holder. That shit is rad.

But the Thundercats? Gay as gay can be.

No, that’s Michael Caine. *grin*

But I agree on the Thundercats. Gayer than the day is long.

Not that that’s a BAD thing!

This is a tricky question.

Pink Panther: Sashays around naked. Pink. Debonair and slim.

Thundercats: Walk around in spandex bodysuits and/or bondage harnesses. Facial markings bear disturbing resemblance to drag queen make-up. Massively muscled, indicating dedicated hours of gym workouts. Those with hair on their heads show predilection towards drag queen hair or at least use of copious amounts of product. Sword grows when summoning companions.

I’d like to say it’s ALL gay, but from different parts of the homogaiety spectrum, y’know?

Hmm… I dunno about the gayness thing.  As the banner clearly shows us, at least one of ‘em loves pussy.

Wait.  That’s a male pussy.  brain melts…

“That’s a male pussy.”

I like to think of them as man-ginas. Sounds so much classier that way.

That must be a meaning of “classy” that passed me by.

Ah, I see it now: it’s gotta be a definition involving some combination of ”clit” and ”ass

AAAaaaaahahahahahahahaaa!!!

No, no, no.  The Pink Panther is not gay.  He’s gone THROUGH gay and out the other side. 

He’s comfortable in his own skin, man.  His pink, furry skin.

One more childhood memory ruined. :’( The whole gay thing with He-man never even occurred to me until someone in those VH1 shows wondered outloud about how he and Skeletor probably got it on.

I know, I’m completely oblivious.

Picture of SB Sarah said on...

There was a LOT of tension between them - almost as if they had a “history” that was never fully explored on-camera.

Pink Panther is a metrosexual.
