There is a YouTube series "Odd One Out" by Jubilee with that premise, not necessarily gay but other social groups as well. In one episode, there really were only Odds and no one how was what they pretended all to be

[–] tacofox@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

Started watching it based on your comment. It’s mid, but good enough to watch and can be funny. I am hoping it picks up a bit though.

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 61 points 2 years ago (2 children)

What if there are zero straight men at the end?

[–] SpraynardKruger@lemmy.world 49 points 2 years ago

You both win an all-expenses-paid romantic getaway with your new soul mate/fellow contestant.

This would be a nightmare because I have no idea what the signals look like.

[–] SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago

Are you swinging clockwise or counter clockwise?

[–] essellburns@beehaw.org 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The show would be very revealing as we'd learn what 12 men think the signals look like!

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

Or rather the opposite of the signals look like

Maybe the ones that ping on "gaydar"?

[–] tryptaminev@feddit.de 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Gaydar is a 1312 kHz signal.the encryption is specified in ISO: 11919

[–] riwo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

well fuck because i'm not going to pay to find out what iso 11919 entails

[–] ramble81@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Had a girl one time tell me she has perfect gaydar. Asked her if I was and without skipping a beat she said “yeah you are”…. Spoiler: I’m not.

So when one of them is voted off, does a screen plate report the exiled contestant is gay? Because if they're all typical straights and the comedy is based on them being at least a bit homophobic.

This reminds me of classic USMC gay chicken, which seems to be a conspiracy to turn all our fresh trained marines ~~totally gay~~ questioning.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 30 points 2 years ago

This is brilliant.

[–] FakeGreekGirl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 29 points 2 years ago

So it's gay Werewolf?

[–] lowleveldata@programming.dev 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Do it with girls and I'd watch it

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago

Do a gay show and a lesbian show. I'll watch both

[–] grue@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If all the men are straight, the game will end after one week no matter who gets voted out (and everybody except the one guy who's worst at acting gay gets $1M).

I guess that's not a problem, as long as the folks making it are okay with it being a one-off special and not a series.

[–] nvvp@discuss.tchncs.de 21 points 2 years ago

That's just the cover story to tell the contestants. The real game is seeing a bunch of straight guys pretending to be gay. Probably poorly.

[–] Zuberi@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 2 years ago

...but 20 dollars is 20 dollars

[–] SternburgExport@feddit.de 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

I would be voted out so fucking quick and I‘m proud of it.

Edit: Oh fuck my dumbass misread this and thought gay people would be voted out

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 29 points 2 years ago

Weird thing to brag about.

[–] ChemicalPilgrim@lemmy.world 20 points 2 years ago

Big "I'm not gay! I'm not gay!" Energy lmao

[–] Magnus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 years ago

Big "I'm gay I'm gay!" energy in that edit

[–] MeepsTheBard@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The more time that passes between each repost is more time for the premise to be less "2005 dude-bros can't fathom being unmasculine for a second" and more "when did Troye Sivan write this?"

Or Grayjay.app for android

[–] OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

I feel like it would work better as a show with like 5 gay men. That way you get reaction shots of gay men judging straight men trying to act gay, and things actually progress romantically. I feel like anyone who thinks they are the one straight guy might just act like a sexually conservative gay man, the pressure will be on when people start talking about things getting more sexual.
