WHO Framed Roger Rabbit references resurface on TV
ABC's airing of WHO Framed Roger Rabbit prompted renewed attention to Judge Doom, with multiple viewers likening Trey Gowdy's recent appearance to Christopher Lloyd's villainous look. Judge Doom, played by Christopher Lloyd, is famous for bulging-eyed prosthetics and the film's climactic melting sequence. The movie's stylized makeup and animation read strikingly in high definition, which sharpened the comparisons. This matters because Roger Rabbit's exaggerated villain design remains a cultural reference point that shapes how audiences read real public figures' hair and makeup choices.
So im watching Who Framed Roger Rabbit if you cant tell by my last post. But because you know me by now....I gotta take it there lol. Remember the scene where the judge was looking for Roger in the bar and used the "Shave and a Haircut, two bits" riff to lure him out? 🧵
2. Even if you dont know it was called that, you know the beat. You know the tune. Hell, usually people do the "Shave and a haircut" knock when they wanna be fancy knocking on doors. Here's Bug Bunny with a quick step to refresh your memory
Long ago I went to the video store to rent "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" and instead came home with "Who Reemed Rosie Rabbit" instead. Damn I got chewed out for not reading the box correctly. The wife and I watched it later that night after the kids went to bed. The next day I got the right movie.
I actually know where this is going, but I need a refresher ...
From the back room scene, i never noticed this comeback line: Q: You could have gotten out of those handcuffs at anytime? A: No, only when it's funny.
Did Trey Gowdy ever stop trying to kill Roger Rabbit?
