Dandruff!
I really enjoyed this episode. But then I enjoyed "Huggy Bear and the Turkey," too, so maybe I just like them being silly.
AND GAY. Though by now that almost goes without saying.
Never one to leave a point unbelabored, however, I felt the need to picspam.
Hutch goes undercover as Marlene, the most lisping, effete-mannered, gay hairdresser ever.
Starsky goes undercover as Tyrone, also a hairdresser.
He has a ladder and a truly atrocious "French" accent.
I LOVE the ladder. It totally makes Tyrone's character.
Marlene and Tyrone work closely together.
They also engage in foreplay with like 4 different girls each in one episode. That's got to be some kind of record. Especially for Marlene who is obviously gay.
My favorite was the twins. Because really. Twins.
If they have a foursome with twins they might as well be having sex with each other.
And omg the salon employee in the background!
Here is Tyrone about to go down on this woman. I mean--give her a pedicure.
I never realized that "hotel beauty salon employee" meant "male prostitute," but that's certainly how the women making these "private appointments" are treating them.
And this is the third time this has happened now--Hutch goes undercover as a wimpy, weak-seeming man, Hutch gets raped by a woman, has to fuck for justice, etc.
It's kind of skeezy, yeah, but I sorta enjoy how outrageous and wrong it is, and how Hutch still manages to be hot while playing the slutty Catholic schoolgirl who says no but kind of means yes. It's unclear whether he does fall sway to their charms or whether he just lets them fuck him to Protect His Cover. Hm, I wonder who was the force behind this repeated motif. It would be even more skeezy if it were David Soul.
"You don't object to aggressive women, do you?" asks Vivian as she undresses him.
"Oh no, of course not," Marlene lisps with a nervous giggle, "as long as they're gentle!"
A man appears from the next room. Vivian seems unconcerned.
"Who's the fussy guy?"
"I'm Mr. Marlene, from the beauty salon downstairs." Then he goes into camp overdrive, maybe trying to look harmless in case the guy is the jealous type.
"Uh, treatment, split ends, I have to condition and set it..."
The guy walks away laughing hysterically at his wife/girlfriend? having sex with a gay hairdresser.
"Who's my baby boy?"
Aaaand let the raping begin!
It's hard to hear through all the nervous giggles, but it sounds like he's saying, "Vivian! No, no... I'm...I know I'll get very upset!"
***
And Starsky's "accent" isn't fooling anyone.
STARSKY: (outrageous Tyrone accent) Just een case! What eef we get one of our OWN GAYS--
SECURITY CHIEF: Gays?
HUTCH: Guys.
STARSKY: A GAY to impersonate a GUY who BUYS.
(Of course the gay they get is Huggy.)
I love how Hutch/DS is trying to keep from laughing when Starsky says all this.
***
Also the cigars. Kind of mild innuendo, but I thought it was cute.
DOBEY: Scotland Yard says these are the only cigars the Baron smokes. I want you to get to know them, smoke them, eat them, chew them, stick them in your pocket, I don't care what you do with them.
And... are they wearing anything under those blankets?

Re: No, it is MY ladder!
room and all the ins and outs of the situation while Starsky is
following him around and gazing. The buyers and courier do not appear
to be listening, but as a group they acknowledge that they were. Out
of the pouch comes the shiny diamonds and off the boys go to sit on
the couch, ready to watch the sale. They're so domestic, sharing the
paper (Hutch requesting the section Starsky was getting ready to
read). The comedy routine is about to begin. Mr. Van Dam starts the
bidding at three million, which earns lowered papers from the boys.
Mr. Adachi and Mr. Van Dam start bidding against each other and the
boys relax. That is, until Prince Nairobi pops up with a four million
dollar bid. The boys freak, throwing down their papers and starting
forward to head off this disaster, but Mr. Van Dam outbids him and all
is well again. Holland just got some lovely jewels. Prince Nairobi
starts playing with the diamonds as the other buyers talk. He's a
showman to the core. He drops the diamonds in Mr. Van Dam's pouch and
opens his hand to prove he's not pocketing any. Starsky and Hutch are
heading towards the door, Starsky taking out the radio from the vase
to let the outside crew know that it's over. The buyers are all
talking amongst themselves about their families. Mr. Adachi's
quintuplets have the Asian Flu, bad joke.
Elevator arrives and the attendant is none other than "The Baron."
Nobody's the wiser. Hutch bids them all goodbye, thanking the courier,
telling Mr. Van Dam something that even Hutch doesn't understand
himself, telling Mr. Adachi sayonara, and saying to Huggy "see you
later, bro." I love Hutch. As the elevator doors close, they recognize
that the attendant had a gun. Starsky calls down to Dobey that they
can follow "The Baron" with the bug they put into the pouch. Down the
stairs they run, Dobey giving them directions. The bug's signal is on
the 16th floor. "The Baron" exits the elevator, leaving his stunned
victims on the floor. He goes to his room and starts changing clothes.
Starsky and Hutch burst out of the stairwell, Starsky asking Dobey for
more direction. Hutch doesn't need directions, he's just gonna start
opening doors. The sights you can see when you haven't got your gun.
They get a lamp flung at them by an angry lady and a very angry man
curses at them. The signal is moving down again, but Hutch determines
it's not inside, but outside. Into the angry lady's room again, she
starts shouting and goes off to call the manager. The boys spot a
window cleaner and figure that's gotta be their man. Out of the room
they go, angry lady slamming the door behind them. They descend in the
elevator, very impatiently, but they make it to the ground floor
before the window washer. They wait, figuring they got their man, but
alas it's not to be. However, the audience is in the know and can see
that the window washer is actually one of the goons that work for "The
Baron." Three uniforms gather down the street, one of which is "The
Baron" himself. Starsky and Hutch uncover the other goon lying on the
floor of his scaffolding, scared but alive.
Re: No, it is MY ladder!
Back to "The Baron" who takes off his hat to wipe the brow band and we
see that he's got the diamonds stuffed in his hat. Back on his head it
goes as he flags to an approaching patrol car, giving the uniform who
knows what kind of direction before taking the car himself. The boys
have the pouch, which contains the bug and nothing else. They're happy
that the bug worked, but Dobey's running up to them (yes, running) and
he's more concerned with where the diamonds are. He wants answers and
he wants them now, so Hutch delivers one of my favorite lines: "Here
come the prince, here come the prince." (Laugh-in fans will recognize
the take-off) And the prince brought gifts, namely the diamonds. You
see, Huggy's sticky fingers are an asset to them all.
And finally we get to the tag, the lovely tag. Hutch is under the hair
dryer-sunglasses on, holster, and in his pretty blue shirt, which will
make a reappearance in Starsky's Brother), filing the fingernails of
one Ms. Zuckerman's right hand. Starsky's on the left, an almost
mirror image of his partner—under the hair dryer, sunglasses on,
holster, red shirt which will reappear in Starsky's Brother, and
filing Ms. Zuckerman's left hand. She starts off on a speech about
patriotism and the little guy. The boys are trying to fight her to sit
back down because it's kinda hard to file her nails when she's pulling
away. Mr. Tyrone asks her to simply blow out the candle on the cake
in front of her. She complies just as Dobey comes in, ranting again.
Dobey: "Why aren't you back at the office?"
Mr. Tyrone: "Because, we are here."
Obviousness, a good trait to have. Dobey delivers a present, which Ms.
Zuckerman snatches up. It's two cigars, which are distributed to the
boys (proving Starsky is very well skilled in having such things in
his mouth), along with a note. It's from "The Baron" who has once
again gotten the last word. Puff puff on those cigars until the next
time they meet again.
