> [@Moriarty](#): > > He knows Jessie, but he’s not _friends_ with Jessie. They don’t hang out or anything. Jessie is actually kind of a prick. So how come Jessie ended up with that hot girl he saw hanging off him? Man, he’s thinking, why can’t I find a woman like that? She’s loving him with her body, he just just knows it! Dammit, he wishes that he had Jessie’s girl. > > It’s nothing personal, just envy from afar. Actually, Jessie is a friend. In fact, he’s been a good friend. It’s just lately something’s changed. ---

He doesn’t actually do anything but whine about it, so I would say the question is rather moot. ---

It seems quite obvious to me that if his advances (“being cool with the lines”) got any traction with her, he’d absolutely take the opportunity. Then he and she would be “the villain”. I don’t know, if someone tries to do something bad and fails, we don’t usually look kindly on that, and definitely don’t call them heroes. ---

To be fair, there’s not much that goes on with he’in and she’in that could be considered _heroic_. Unless he saves her from a burning building or something… ---

I was going to do a top ten biggest assholes in an 80’s video but could only think of a couple The dude in “Voices Carry” And Laupers boyfriend in “Time After Time” when she cuts her hair. ---

What about the guy Pat Benatar shakes her tits at in “Love Is a Battlefield”? Or the dad from that Twisted Sister video? ---

> [@Dung\_Beetle](#): > > What about the guy Pat Benatar shakes her tits at in “Love Is a Battlefield”? > Or the dad from that Twisted Sister video? Heh. I’d say Pats dad in that video is a much bigger asshole. Nice accidental find! Edit: In ‘Voices Carry’, El Douche also\* has a problem with her hair. “What’s the deal with not liking womens hair in 80’s videos??” \*Referring to ‘Time After Time’ here.
