Epic Win: The Fonz


Once Upon A Win

Submitted by katsak

Arthur Herbert Fonzarelli aka The Fonz aka Fonzie aka The Coolest Guy Ever:

If there’s one thing The Fonz was cool enough to teach us all is that you can’t stay at the top of your game forever. Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet, jump the shark, and watch your career sink to the level bad sitcoms and rehashes of the character you used to be.

    That episode really jumped the sh……

    Oh, right. That’s where it came from.

  2. Wyde says:

    My first non-twitter-related second… it’s almost a dream come true…
    As for Fonzie… uh…I got nothin’ against i’m.

  3. samantha says:

    ahh, i love living in milwaukee where we have a bronze statue of the fonz…

    • NoOneInteresting says:

      It must be a statue of Henry Winkler. It can’t be a statue of the Fonz because it’s impossible to make a leather jacket out of bronze and, let’s face it, the Fonz isn’t the Fonz without the leather jacket.

    If “bad sitcom” means Arrested Development, you fail.

    What no theme song?

  10. miroku says:

    Henry Winkler did produce some pretty cool shows. From MacGyver to So Weird to Sightings.

  11. BRMBug says:

    …Meh.

  12. Mam Adar says:

    Henry Winkler… a short, nerdy-looking Jewish guy who convinced us all he was a hot-cool-sexy Italian greaser who rode a motorcycle. Now *that’s* acting.

    Also, the Fonz is really the spiritual grandfather of Spike on Buffy, right down to wearing leather and jumping the shark.

  13. Publius says:

    bathing shorts FAIL!

    It’s such a fail, all coolness you ever had up to that point is wiped out and you go into negative cool (AKA, extreme nerdness) once you put on shorts like that.

  14. broken fingers says:

    yea, he’s fail now..

  15. Failerella says:

    why America ever thought the Fonz was cool is beyond me. I know we did, I was there. But it’s like a bad dream…

  16. Puppatoons says:

    Wow, it’s great to finally learn where this came from.

    I kinda liked the itty shorts..it’s the jacket-wearing that’s kind of weirding me out.

  17. james says:

    THE FONZ?!?!?! Are you joking?????

    The Fonz was a DOUCHEBAG!

    he hung out with jailbait girls, never got laid, rode a Yahama, real bikers would ahve kicked his ass, and lived over an old guy’s garage. Cmon, how cool is it to live in freakin’ Milwaukee?!?!?!?!

  18. Trmpt says:

    Heh, I actually met him once at a conference in NYC
