- Did homosexuality kill the dinosaurs? You might think you know the answer, but consider the perspective of the weird early 90s sitcom Dinosaurs, featuring giant Jim Henson puppets that tackled timely topics like war and drugs and racial prejudice - and yes they even had an episode with a thinly veiled metaphor for homosexuality, and parents who overcome intolerance.

ah yes, the gay communist stoner, my favorite dinosaur
Reading this in Wanda’s voice makes it even better
Sounds like the entirety of GenZ
@@lilly6357 you mean Xoomers: the grifing generation
@@twinkiesmaster69 what are Xoomers never heard of that term
@@proxybum8895 basically it is what particularly salty boomers and gen-zers call anyone who criticizes them.
some boomers are so hurt by being called a boomer that they (wrongly) assume changing a couple letters and throwing it back will probably be just as harmful to the ones who are making them feel hurt while not understanding the meaning behind the term boomer or looking up why it wouldnt work as a return insult. kinda like if you call a racist a racist and they shoot back that you are double racist for calling out their racism. there is no awareness of what is even going on

@@MattBaume Hi, Matt! Unrelated but I enjoyed your videos about drag balls and their history/ documentaries. Would you consider doing a similar piece for Drag Kings?

Good idea - Nopsca in general was an interesting figure and apparently worked as a spy in World War I, though his stories might also have been a little embellished.

"We met at the salad bar" is the new way to tell your parents when you actually met on grindr.
The use of salad in this metaphor is making me giggle.
@@EricaGamet and the meme!
it reminded me of "not in front of my salad!"
@@Gr95dc same 😂
@@EricaGamet There are some interesting possibilities in there. Consider:
"I tossed his salad last week."
"Yeah, I'm a fan of big mushrooms."
"Overripe? No such thing."
I saw a pro-vegetarian message when this aired. My mom saw an anti-drug special. We never figured it was a gay episode parody. I think it is just a parody of as many very special episodes as possible.
If it were an anti-drug message, that would mean the dinner where they had a mix of veggies and meats would be like saying some illegal drugs are ok some times.
Well... I guess that checks out. Go mom!
I'd argue that it's less of a parody and more of a deconstruction (but even that's not 100% on point). Either way tye general applicability to a wider number of social "problems" makes it surprisingly modern, even if it causes the metaphor(s) to break down a bit.
This show literally has a pro-weed episode
@@denisenova7494 hahaha yeah..."A New Leaf"
Yeah it could be vegetarianism, expressing individuality, challenging accepted ideas of morality, homosexuality.
The episode is transparently way more than just being gay

I was a little disappointed they didn't mention omnivores as a mirror for bisexuality, but this was the 90s so I can't expect that kind of forethought.
Yeah that would have been good
My first thought was... if you eat veggies time to time... sounds like bi.
Well, Spartacus already made a similiar connection back in 1960.
Marcus Licinius Crassus:
Do you consider the eating of oysters to be moral and the eating of snails to be immoral?
Antoninus:
No, master.
Marcus Licinius Crassus:
Of course not. It is all a matter of taste, isn't it?
Antoninus:
Yes, master.
Marcus Licinius Crassus:
And taste is not the same as appetite, and therefore not a question of morals.
Antoninus:
It could be argued so, master.
Marcus Licinius Crassus:
My robe, Antoninus. My taste includes both snails and oysters.
In the 90's the heteronormative mainstream (#patriarchy) used the word "gay" obliquely for anyone in the LGBTQ+ community (like some still do today).
Interesting points here. I wonder if the show makers thought about it to this extent. Considering it's a comedy... I'm not sure.
When will there be a film about the gay dinosaur hunting couple climbing mountains and escaping bandits in Transalvania?!
The whole kidnapping situation is just perfect. I can picture them ready to escape.
"Right. On the count of three. One... two... Do you hear gunshots?"
"I hear someone screaming."
"I recognise that screaming."
"It sounds like you father."
"That is definitely my father. God, I haven't heard him that angry since I was 14 and..."
"And what?"
"Never mind."
"I'll ask your father about it later."
"Please don't. He's got a gun."
"That bad, huh? So should we still try to break out or..."
"I think he's got this."
(Bandit falls in front of them)
"Shall we go out for dinner tonight or..."
"Honestly, I could just do with a quiet night in."
(A second bandit lands on the first)

@@iIO_OIi bruh omnivore in term that describes an animal that eats plants and meat which makes it a better punchline than your made up word
@@zebraman7703 it was in reference to bisexual, if I had just said "omnivore" most people probably wouldn't give the comment a second thought and the joke would completely pass them by, if I say "bivore", they'll see the made up word and possibly think about it, and hopefully get the joke.
@@iIO_OIi if you know what a herbivore is you know what an omnivore is
I wonder if the swamp monster is a metaphor for intolerance and toxic masculinity, hence why it causes the son to disappear while his father can’t accept him, and also why it finds male-on-male affection gross. Only when the father dives into his own intolerance can he see the harm he’s actually done to his family, and what he needs to do to fix it.
That may be too deep a dive into a 90s show about dinosaur puppets, maybe father and sons love for each other being the solution to their problem is just deep enough

Seriously though I was the same. Nearly * *nearly* * makes me want to give this show another go
The 90's were surprisingly brutal yet at the same time astoundingly naive.
I read it as gay as a kid. Lol
I guess a more optimistic view of "two men hugging makes the monster puke" is "destroying toxic masculinity by expressing emotions freed them".
The red scare and lavender scare reference actually made sense, in the executive order made to purge communists from the government there was a clause that basically posited that gays could be communists because their sexuality made them vulnerable to blackmail and therefor treachery. Over 500 federal employees were fired and employees were asked "are you a homosexual." Additionally, the more well-known gay rights organization, The Mattachine Society, was started by someone who had communist ties. So during that era, public perception of communism and gayness were very intertwined because they both represented a secretive "invisible" enemy.
Well, I mean, I guess you could say the entire dinosaur population got bottomed by a REALLY big, hard pounding from space by a really rough top?

Thank you Kelly!
I searched “gay Transylvanian dinosaur hunter” and he was the first result
Prior to President Clinton's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell, Don't Pursue" policy of the 1990s, there was a question on enlistment paperwork "Are you now, or have you ever been a practicing homosexual?" A yes answer was automatically disqualifying.
Since making this video I've heard from multiple people who were asked that when joining the Army! It's wild that that would even be asked. Reminds me of how, when my dad enlisted in the 1960s, they asked him point-blank if he was Jewish, and when he said yes they assigned him to an all-Jewish unit. Incredible.
Jodie was once asked that question (in a different context) on Soap. He said 'I don't have to practice. I'm good at it'.

Did people in the 90s US still feared communism? You know since the USSR fell?

@@MattBaume So was 7 year old me when I watched the finale on Disney channel.
wait... they all die? D:
I watched this a bit when I was younger but never finished it as it was taken off of Netflix... That makes me really sad...
As a kid that chose vegetarianism at a young age in an omnivore home I completely thought this episode was exclusively about vegetarianism . I really enjoyed this show thank you for the dissect.
The detour into McCarthyism references makes sense. Ever since the first Red Scare came to the US about 100 years ago, anti-communism, anti-Marxism, anti-leftism in general has been an extremely useful disguise for all manner of other bigotries, because it's 100% acceptable among both conservatives and liberals in our society to be anti-leftist. It's trivially easy for reactionaries to frame any specific bigotry they hold as _actually_ an opposition to communism. For example, the struggle for Black Liberation currently playing out on the streets across the US: how often do you see right-wing propagandists describing BLM as Marxist? Struggles against the oppression of racial, sexual, and gender minorities are attributed to "the Marxist myth of ubiquitous equality," because anyone who's not a communist knows minorities are _not_ equal, so their oppression is natural and good.
It's true, those 1950s scares are pretty intersectional. I didn't want to go TOO much into detail because they're all so intertwined, it's easy to make that history confusing. There might be a Culture Cruise about McCarthyism and the lavender purge in the future though.
@@MattBaume That would be great!
@@MattBaume yes please!
@@MattBaume +++
@@MattBaume Man, I'd definitely love to see that.
This is the strangest video essay title I have seen in ages, feels like the title of a randomly generated book in dwarf fortress.
I think the male affection making the giant dinosaur vomit works quite well, in that the giant dinosaur represents the old order :)
Exactly! It's on message with the anti-homophobia moral of the episode.
Agreed
I honestly don't think the metaphor is murky, it's just not an allegory about one thing in particular.
The communism-/drug-/hippie metaphor is just the societal framework. Conservatives always throw homosexuality into one big mush of "lefty soy latte-drinking liberalism", which in turn is embraced by a liberal counterculture as a sign of solidarity. Robbie, torn apart between the poles, then makes a speech that no one should care that much about his "feeding identity", but about his worth as an individual.
I watched Dinosaurs as a kid but I was still too little to properly remember it and I never knew how it ended until today, I feel a little sad now.
This Franz guy sounds super interesting, the things you learn on the culture cruise will never cease to amaze me.
It ended with the world entering an Ice age caused by major climate change. It literally ended all of them together in the room talking about how they will make it but the older family members knew it wasnt true and it just faded to black. They have the ending up on youtube.
6:05 The only thing i notice was those pea pod earrings and thought that would be something Ms.Frizzle would wear.
Honestly I couldn't look away from those either. I hope they wound up with someone who got to wear them.
"there's nothing particularly gay about that fact, I just thought it was neat"
I'm trans woman and I've seen many depictions from the eighties, nineties an beyond of of male protagonists literally vomiting or at least gagging when they find out that attractive woman was "a man" all along. Reactions of disgust are not great. in this case though, the idea that the embodiment of toxic masculinity is defeated or overcome by men talking about their feelings, coming to an understanding and hugging each other. I don't know it might be cool. But it depends on how you interpret it.
except if you are dating someone, you should be upfront about yourself regarding your gender vs biological sex.

Pro tip for future reference: There are these things called search engines and also online encyclopedias, they are pretty usefull if you are unfamiliar with a particular term, you type it in and hit the "search" button :)
I just commented a very similar interpretation!
@@tynj4173 the last bit is a little transphobic. Toxic masculinity is about the idea that men don't show emotions, feelings, and can't show affection, romantic, brotherly, or paternally, towards each other.
@@tynj4173 first off, I thought you were saying trans woman were men dressed as woman. I agree there is nothing transphobic for those who have preferences
I was like 12 or 13 when i saw the metaphore ep, I seriously thought it was about environmentalism and vegetarianism and I was WORKED UP about the tyrrany of meat eating. So many of these shows flew over my head.
I don’t mind that ending, honestly. Seeing that the monster stands in for “bigger” in the dad’s worldview, I also kind of read him as more conservative than the dad too. While the dad is willing to soften his beliefs and, in turn, show male affection, the even more conservative monster who won’t change finds it disgusting. Feels pretty appropriate to me.
The dad joined an all men group to “eat meat”. Their ritual was literally “eating” another dinosaur. I’m not sure if the connotations where different in the 90s or if universal bisexuality was the social norm in their society
Yussef they were def gargling each other’s special sauce.

12:56 End of episode not so bad to me. Two men hugging was disgusting TO A MONSTER, who was also calling it "mushy stuff", a typical kid's reference to all adult affection displays that they don't like. Doesn't seem that they're excusing homophobia, just continuing with the show's overall disapproval of anti-gay prejudice.
I had such a crush on Robbie back then :P
And am only just realising that was kinda weird :p
totally get it
Same here! Robbie was my favorite part of the show. It's not weird at all.
He has cute boy energy
He’s the Bud Bundy of Dinosaurs... and yeah I had a huge crush on Bud as a kid lol...
nope. not weird. Robbie is definitely super cute!
I don't think it's necessarily confusing that it seems to be a metaphor for several different things. The episode is just using elements of a few marginal groups over the years, of which homosexuality is certainly one.
reads the title...
"Okay... you have my attention."
The 90s is like a different dimension
Nothing compared to the 80s.
A friend of mine was in one of those rubber suits so I'm sending him that link.
I think the ending isn't necessarily saying that male affection is disgusting, but that male affection literally saved their lives and family. The only character grossed out by it was an enemy to be defeated.
I need a movie about Franz and Bajazid now tho. a Romcom, pls.
I was thinking the EXACT same thing!!! I want a whole movie of these two men's love story PLEASE
Oh man! Someone remembers Dinosaurs! And it's Matt, who proceeds to make a terrific video about an episode. Seriously, thanks Matt. Great work. BTW, want an Earl figure? I still have a couple kicking around somewhere....

There are so many good stories in history, I don't know why schools make it such a slog! I hated my history class in high school so much doing homework made me cry, and then when I started finding actual interesting stuff I was furious that nobody told me it could actually be interesting.
Yes! This was one of my favorite episodes 🌿 using vegetarianism as an analogy for being gay. “He gets it from you’re side! Your uncle used to eat off the wrong side of the plate”

I enjoyed this show when it came out. It was pushing the envelope just enough that it could air during “family hour”. Maybe that’s why they muddled the gay metaphor with other things a midwestern family wouldn’t approve of?
If someone could now draw the comet coming straight for a dinosaur just waiting to take it, not realizing this will be the time it will be too much for him, that would be great.

The ending 100% is about that
I love this show. It's beyond bonkers.
Like. There's one episode where Robbie is dating a girl who is rumored to be a "man eater", 'cause all of her former boyfriends have gone missing. She is also the daughter of Earl Sinclair's boss.
Any ways. The twist at the end is that it was actually the dad eating the boyfriends, out of wanting his daughter to stay pure, I guess.
There's also no retribution for this. It's suburbia, but cannibalism is the norm. Totally bonkers!
They also broadcast people getting eating for fun on TV, the food in the fridge tries to revolt, there's a monster underneath the bed and he tries to eat the baby.
Yeah. Just totally bonkers. It has some bad episodes, but a lot of good ones as well, in my opinion, and the good ones are generally speaking really good.
I don't really see it as a Simpsons clone. I mean, there's similarities, but in a lot of ways, this show's satire was more sharp and risky, in the good episodes at least which I'll admit, the quality is a little uneven.
I watched this show when I was like 4-6yo and I loved it so so much!
There's an episode about masturbation (dancing), drugs, reincarnation, afterlife, wanting a boob job (bigger tail)..
The caveman pet episode was also bonkers. And almost throwing grandma into the tar pits. Everything about this show was crazy commentary but it was so good!
saying it's a Simpsons clone is like saying Star wars and lion king are clones because both Show a son struggling with his father heritage
Asking the REAL questions
I am soooo glade you covered this episode! 👏🏼👏🏼 One of my favorite shows with so many good episodes that speak volumes now than what they did when they first aired.
I woud like to take this opportunity to give you my recommendation for a pretty unknown and underrated gay love story called "les amitiés particulières" or "This Special Friendship". It tells the beautiful story of the secret love between two young french catholic school boys Alexandre and Georges.
I feel that this episode is half a parody of every very special episode, while also trying to tell parents and kids that it's okay to be....something (noncommittal)
I vaguely remember the show as I was a toddler when it aired so I saw reruns when I was slightly older that aired on Disney. So I only remember the last episode which is pretty great but clearly no one with power cared. I think the episode's multiple metaphors works enough (the drugs tho) in aiming at any differences kids and parents have.
Henson's puppets and designs tho are some of the most amazing yet haunting things that I'm glad plagues my mind. He died before I was born and I cried when I found out. Truly a legend.
I've missed your Culture Cruise videos -- this was a great way to start the day!
I was wondering if/when you were going to cover this episode. I've been wanting to recommend it to you for months, but someone clearly beat me to it. Nicely done!

The episode "A new Leaf" where Robbie and Earl do a choreographed dance number is one that sticks in my mind.

This is absolutely bonkers but the costumes are actually amazing
Yeah cool costumes but from what I remember, most episodes were not meaningful or funny or anything lol
I never thought this episode was about homosexuality. I did think they didn't want their son to become a vegetarian, which just made sense to me with the hippie aspect. Interesting how people interpret the same thing so differently. Neat!
A YEAR later, I am watching this and thinking the same thing, as I watched this with my kids and we so enjoyed the entire series and laughed and joked with each other over it constantly in our home. I'm 67 now, a Teacher, and Matt's videos have completely shifted my CONSCIOUSNESS about the "Gay" Community. For my entire life, I've been a God & Bible believing Christian as well as a staunch believer and upholder of the US Constitution and Bill of Rights. For so many years, with much conflict for me with my Christian/Bible beliefs, US Constitutional Rights vs how I held and internalized what to do about those who are identified as "Gay" in the World. Matt has helped me be accepting of HUMAN & US Constitutional Rights for Gays as well. What I object most is the bizzare and very in your face publicly by many Gays. That is very putting off and offensive to many and does not help their cause.
I don't know how, I don't know why this was recommended to me now but boy am I subscribed! Great work!!
I’ve never seen/heard of this channel before. Found this vid in my recommended.
I was expecting a very, very different video
I grew up in the 80s/90s in Midwest USA and had friends who were vegetarians for moral reasons, much to their parent's chagrin. Vegetarianism made them an embarrassment to their parents, the black sheep of the family, meaning this episode's plot is literal and not a metaphor in that case. More generally this episode seems to be about not being afraid to challenge tradition or question the norm, if you have strongly held beliefs to the contrary, even though you might upset people you care about.
it's actually sort of cool to see old shows like this with representation. i can imagine being a kid back then and really seeing myself in this, and feeling actually acknowledged. heck, even growing up in the 2000's i barely had that.
The Golden Girls was pretty good about it.
Ah, I was so young back then. Back in the glory days of *The Specialest Episode Ever* , truly a walk down memorylane for us up-and-coming dinosaurs
Is this a series? I would love to hear discussion on many of the other episodes because this was good! This is my favorite sitcom and the fact that the material in it can provide us with diving board topics to think about like this is what really attracts me to the show. However, I have watched every episode of it lots of times already so the perspectives of others on the episodes, like this video, are what I would like to watch/hear more of now.
I’m also just drawn to it because they’re anthropomorphized dinosaurs but that’s beside the point! 🤣

The last part about the "Male affection looks disgusting" is from the point of view of the villain, so technically it's implied that it's a bad behaviour.
