Starsky and Hutch - Favourite moments
Tap Dancing Her Way Right Back Into Your Hearts is amazing because it is so horny and so gay that it almost distracts you from how many questions it raises. Namely,
How did this happen? Does Dobey normally pimp his officers out in the name of justice? Was this all his idea? How did that conversation go? Did he haul Hutch and Starsky into his office and tell them one of them was going to have to lie back and think of Bay City and they got to decide who it was? How would they have done that? Was it because Starsky is marginally a better dancer than Hutch so he got to be the dance instructor? Or did they flip a coin? What would the coin flip have decided? Who got to sleep with the dance lady or who had to sleep with the dance lady? Or did none of that happen and Dobey just said to Hutch “Hutchinson, you’re kind of slutty, right?”
Or did Hutch volunteer for this? Did Starsky volunteer him somehow and he just went with it?
Or was it like in 90 Pounds of Trouble where they went up to Dobey together and were like “Captain…we have…and IDEA.” And Dobey’s just like “No, you absolutely do not” before immediately folding. If that’s the case, how crazy does an idea from these two have to be for Dobey have to stick to his guns when telling them no?
Also was Hutch being a cowboy a condition of him going through with this? Was he like “ok I’ll do it but only if I get to be a cowboy”
Things About Dandruff That Are My Favorite
- Hutch’s goofy round sunglasses
- Multiple women fawning over the boys even though these are easily the least heterosexual disguises they have ever adopted, which is saying something
- Their undercover IDs are definitely a couple
- Hutch flirting with the blind cigar seller
- The owner of the hair salon knows they’re cops and still expects them to do their jobs and treating them like misbehaving employees whenever they disappear to do police work
- Salon owner gets mad bc Starsky is 40 minutes late for work so she grabs Hutch by the collar and drags him across the counter, demanding to know where Starsky is
- Hutch (in character) calling Starsky a “naughty naughty boy” over the phone
- Starsky with his bare feet on Dobey’s desk
- The red herring of the old senile guy in the bathtub wearing one of those old style German helmets with the spike
- Starsky in character being weirdly possessive over a ladder
- Why the hell is this episode called Dandruff in the first place?
- Hutch nearly drowns a woman while washing her hair. This seems…semi-intentional….
- The fiasco with Starsky and the hair dryer that results in both of them being chased out of the salon and earns Starsky a good talking to by the salon owner (Starsky escapes with his ladder)
- The blind cigar seller deducing that Hutch is undercover because “he’s no hairdresser, his hands are too tough.” Hutch seems flattered by this?
- The boys keeping up their bizarre disguises even when alone with people who know they’re cops
- “What if we get one our own gays-” “Gays?” “Guys.” “Oh.” “A gay to impersonate a guy-”
- Everything about Huggy
- When Huggy shows up in disguise as a Nigerian (?) Prince, he’s carrying…I think it’s called an irukere and I want you to appreciate the google journey I went on trying to figure out what it’s called. Anyway, it’s made of horsetail I think and when Huggy refuses to let go of it, Starsky starts furiously trying to run a comb through it
- Starsky getting into an argument with the diamond guy over the correct nomenclature of the container holding the diamonds, then Diamond Guy agreeing to let the boys do whatever they want just to get out of the conversation. Starsky’s smug look is amazing
- The boys spending the episode tag getting pedicures. Hutch is still wearing his goofy sunglasses
- RENE AUBERJONOIS???!?!??!!!!
starsky in 2x21 the committee asking “have we met?”, being told “not unless you might say by proxy” and then asking “who’s proxy?” + hutch in 1x16 losing streak hearing “we caught him playing with queer” and asking “with who?” while there’s money on the floor all around him…………. literally they’re soulmates
