| Queer Eye | comment |
Queer Eye was a makeover reality series that ran from 2003 to 2007, called Queer Eye for the Straight Guy in its first two seasons. The format involved a subject — usually, a straight guy, as implied by the original title — getting an all-around aesthetic upgrade from five gay men known as the "Fab Five": Carson Kressley (fashion) Thom Filicia (interior decorating) Ted Allen (food and wine) Kyan Douglas (hair and grooming) Jai Rodriguez (culture, which usually means things self-presentation and selecting appropriate gifts)This is all geared toward a significant event planned for the end of the show, such as a family reunion, marriage proposal, career-related gathering, engagement party, or sometimes just a regular old party. The Five indulge in a lot of catty remarks and Camp Gay humor along the way, which kept the show entertaining but also led to accusations of gay Modern Minstrelsy from some quarters. Nonetheless the show was well received by much of the gay press and led to a tie-in book, a hit soundtrack album and a short-lived Spin-Off series, Queer Eye for the Straight Girl.Netflix launched a revived series in 2018. The first season of the revival is set in and around Atlanta, Georgia, and the series features a new Fab Five.It fueled an (American) Cyclic National Fascination over a heavily stereotyped "gay culture" that lasted throughout The Noughties. | |

Artifact Title: Averted- the show changed its title from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy to just Queer Eye around the same time it started featuring women and queer guys. | |

| Queer Eye / int_2c7e9a70 | comment |
Makeover Montage: Like all makeover shows, it compresses a lot. Actually it compresses more than it first seems: each episode was shot over four days, but edited to make it seem like one. | |

Manly Tears: Sometimes shed if the event at the end of the show is a particularly significant one. One episode ended with the engagement party of an injured war veteran, which also included the doctor who saved his life and a comrade who was injured in the same accident, and had Manly Tears flowing all over the place. | |

N-Word Privileges: The Five freely use words for gay people that are insulting in other contexts, including in the title. In fact, Ted has said that the title was a hard sell because many people didn't realize that "queer" could be positive. | |

Men Are Uncultured: One of the show's premises is that straight men are pretty uncultured, though this is not universally true of all subjects. Some of them are artists or intellectuals, they're just not cultured in the particular areas at which the Fab Five excel. | |

All Gays are Promiscuous: Played with but also defied to some extent. Much of the humor is raunchy, but during one more serious conversation a nudist client remarks to Kyan that both nudists and gays are wrongly assumed to be all about sex. Kyan agrees: "Sex is just a tiny part of it." | |
