I don't find it offensive.


I don't find it homophobic.


There isn't really a word for what I find it. I remeber back when that sketch was popular. I liked it. And then they did another version of it. I still liked it even though it was the same joke. The characters were good. Then, the next week, they brought them back and I thought, okay. And then again, and again, and again. And by that time you couldn't go anywhere without loathsome colleg students and highschoolers doing their dumbass impressions of Hans and Frans, most of which totally missed the point of the original skecth, which was that bodybuilders, in particular Shvatxenhoozy, protest too mcuh seeing as how they are very effeminate.

And now, years and years after that sketch had it's heyday, in a way that only the old can pull off, not recognizing that time moves more slowly the younger you are, and that for anyone younger than I am that bit is ancient history, a man who is now Governor and supposedly not an entertainer, resurrects the bit. And still doesn't get it.

It's Ironic tht the only language that could construct a word that would convey the feeling I just tried to describe is german.
