80s movies also taught me that sexual assault is kinda funny and a totally harmless prank.

How do you explain this then:

She gets dick?

The exception that proves the rule.

I'm indigenous in Canada and we pretty much grew up poor in my family. We had enough but we never had a lot to enjoy any luxuries.

One family in our town had a bit of wealth and they lived very comfortably, the girls looked good and the boys were good looking young guys. They were all older than me so we were in awe of them.

One of the boys although he was native had a very light complexion with curled hair. He often wore a sweater like that around town and he looked so completely out of place it was almost funny. Except he was popular, built, strong and well known by everyone. He could do whatever he wanted and there was nothing anyone could do about it.

And to top it all off ...... he was a dick ... just like in the movies.

Lol

Ted McGinley, AKA the TV series grim reaper (if he shows up in a series it's almost definitely getting cancelled).

Patron saint of jumping the shark.

Who is Ted C Mcginely and what has he been in? Ted M Mcginely was the Marcy’s second husband in married with children and lasted longer than the first husband (4v6).

Happy Days, The Love Boat, and Dynasty were some of the shows he joined that got him the title. Also the Revenge of the Nerds movies. He was in the first one, then came back for the shark jumping in 3 and 4.

Interestingly, McGinley isn't always the reason for the shark jump. Sometimes he's fine, like you pointed out with Married With Children. He just gas a knack for joining series later in their production, as they're turning to shit.

Edit: I reread your post, now I see you're talking about the middle initial. Previous poster probably mixed up the name a bit with John C. McGinley of Scrubs and Office Space. Still leaving this here.

Conversely, he plays my favorite character on Shrinking, but I guess it helps that he's in it from the very beginning

Back when dinosaurs cost a dollar and 640K of RAM was more than enough for any purpose, people in my sphere would refer to this style of dressing as "Preppy" and it was a style largely relegated to wealthier people and people who wanted to appear to be wealthy. So, maybe there was a bit of an association with this appearance and "rich assholes" in general?

Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God, it even has a watermark...
