One of the episodes of “That 70’s Show” has Kelso talk with fear that he will be the guy that they let into the police academy, who is not qualified, just to be made an example of. Someone clumsy and out of shape, they dismiss in order to scare and make the other recruits feel proud. I forgot the name they gave it. What was it?
Rope a dope?
Scapegoat?
The stooge. They say it several times in the show. Turns out Kelso wasn’t it.
