Is it me, or were these toys incredibly homoerotic?
Exhibit A, the copy for this commercial …
The incredible Dr. Steel!
You’ve got Big Jim and Big Jeff hacking ‘cross the land
Stopped cold by a gleaming hand
Of the incredible Dr. Steel
With rugged face and strange tattoo
You make him break a bar in two
Make Big Jim and Big Jeff strike a blow
Is he friend or is he foe?
Get him drunk and make a pass
Take him in the alley and pound that ass
Of the incredible Dr. Steel!
I think you can find the limited edition version of Dr Steel with assless chaps on eBay.
Ha ha.
And interchangeable sex toy hands with karate chop action!
When the demand for The Sweats eventually waned, it’s pretty clear where the writers went.
