Sue Anne Nivens’s elaborate boudoir was, if not childish, kind of adolescent.
Les Nessman’sever-present band-aid (in a different location every time) didn’t exactly enhance his grown-up creds.
Batman runs around in animal jammies. Could he have issues?
Who’s the guy in AC-DC in a schoolboy uniform? Forty years on, it’s just kind of icky.
Kojak had a lollipop.
Lead singer Angus Young.
Lead guitarist. Lead vocals was Bon Scott followed by Brian Johnson. But, yeah, childish. But it’s AC/DC.
Lucy Ricardo didn’t have any particularly childish belongings that I can recall but her trademark crying like a baby (“Waaaaaaah!!”) is uncomfortable now and, I would think, even back then. (After all, Ethel didn’t baby it up for Fred!)
TBF that’s Worf, Troi and Data.
Worf and Troi are aliens…so it’s not like they can be blamed for wanting to experience Earth westerns (It was Alexanders idea anyway i think)
And cards was Data wanting to play poker with …great scientists.? If i recall, didnt one of the holo characters say what a waste of time it was.
Kind of like a built-in way of the computer saying “Really?”
James Cagney’s relationship with his motherin White Heat
If I want to keep going on the topic of aspects of star-trekery that disappointed me: I was a child who was into computers, and the idea that Data couldn’t speak in contractions was offensively stupid.
George Costanza’s late lamented fiance, Susan Ross, owned a large doll collection. She would sleep with chosen dolls from her collection, including the particular one that looked like Estelle Constanza, George’s mom.
Even more telling is the suit he sewed for Robin. Hell-o! :dubious: :eek:
Alfred sewed both. Maybe he’s the Grey Eminence power behind the Bat-Throne!
Ray and Robert on everbody loves Raymond. Seriously creepy hold their mother had on them.
A “Will & Grace” episode - I can’t remember the specifics, but Jack had gotten into trouble with a project, Grace secretly stepped in to help him out, and Jack (who was supposed to be a little over 30) was convinced Santa Claus had come to his rescue.
Sebastian Flyte in Brideshead Revisited had a teddy bear named Aloysius.
I think it’s not that he couldn’t use contractions, but that he was programmed to not use them. Dr. Soong said he wanted to create an android that was less human-like than Lore, so he gave Data no emotions, and I imagine he programmed Data to not use contractions for the same reason.
Having said that, he didn’t do a very good job, as we have seen Data slip up in the series before. Worf actually did a better job of not using contractions.
Not only that. LARPing about the 18th century in the UK and the US.
Not in the original comics he didn’t (reference: “When Batman was Robin,” DC Vol 1, No. 226, 1955). Bruce Wayne learned to sew in the Sea Scouts and made himself an outfit like Robin’s when he was a teenager learning criminology from a police detective.
I’d like to see a kid walk into a police station dressed like that and saying “Teach me everything you know!” today. He’d probably be shot as soon as he walked in the door. :eek:
Archie Bunker had to have a Twinkie in his lunchbox every day.
Charles Foster Kane had that sled. Forget what he called it…
I’m pretty sure it was called “Marion Davies’s Vagina”
