This may not be Bugs Bunny’s all-time greatest drag look, but it’s easily his sluttiest. And on the newest @gayestepisodeever.bsky.social, we’re joined by @tonyrodriguez.bsky.social to discuss it and other queer-leaning Looney Tunes shorts.

This week, we're covering The Critic, a show whose mix of high and low read as fairly gay, even if Jay Sherman himself repeatedly insisted that he was straight... almost every episode.

In celebration of Tubi getting all the Looney Tunes shorts, we are doing a @gayestepisodeever.bsky.social about those (plus Merrie Melodies) that lend themselves to queer readings. So...
Got a gay seeming Loones cartoon you think we should cover? Tell me!

What's that? You say Laverne & Shirley never did a gay episode? Well, give us any chance, we'll take it! Because we've got Stacie Ponder on to discuss the sapphic undertones of the show about female roommates who work in a brewery.

this episode is reminding me of when I had a chance to write actual Doctor Strange for actual marvel and I just wrote for Doctor Orpheus (I got sent to She-Hulk in the end)
This week, we're discussing Venture Bros., which we love... even if the show has a problem with snickering about the idea of two men doing it that gets even weirder with the Captain Sunshine ep.
Ventures Bros. Is a Very Gay Show, But… — Gayest Episode Ever
The Captain Sunshine episode represents this show in peak early 2000s humor mode.

In the latest @gayestepisodeever.bsky.social, we talk The Cleveland Show. No really! It actually did something sitcoms rarely do by outing one of its major characters. and it's actually kinda good?? ... even if it never considers that Terry could be bi.

One of the best aspects to the David/Stevie love triangle storyline on Schitt’s Creek is how quickly it reveals that they’re too emotionally stunted to share a hot guy.

Looking back, not only are Duke Igthorn and his team of (all male) ogres queer coded, but the whole AotGB show is pretty gay. I don’t think @gayestepisodeever.bsky.social has ever done an episode on the show and characters, but feel it would be interesting to hear them dissect it.

This week, we return to The Great North to profile Aunt Dirt, a Jane Lynch-voiced addition to the show. She's crucial lesbian curmudgeon representation, and it’s kind of awesome how she’s just baffled by contemporary gay culture.
