THE SUBVERSIVE GAY SATIRE OF BILLY ON THE STREET

If gay male culture is often a foundatn for the material that Eichner , both on Billy on the Street and on Hulu’s Difficult People (created and wrten by Julie Klsner), ’s a very specific subset of gay male culture, even subculture.

Perhaps the reason Eichner, who fir on all cylrs at all tim, is equally beloved and dismissed is bee his target is gay male whens: Billy on the Street attempts to nstct the sulary of a gay media culture that’s very whe, and reli on women and people of lor not necsarily as signifint subcultural ntributors but as objects to gaze at. You will fd Billy—tall, well built, hirsute—harangue people about La La Land and s Osr chanc, pter civilians regardg a threome wh him and Jon Hamm, and terrogate gays on the street as to whether or not they re about John Oliver.

Gay male whens, of the astal ele kd, prents self wh the proclivy towards pop culture—and the broadns of whatever “pop culture” is, as well as the kd of people who say they’re obssed wh , is part of the joke. He do not do bon mots, and when he do, on Difficult People, they serve to unrle the lampoong of the rivative tennci of, generally speakg, ntemporary gay edians. The segment’s foc is on Jon Hamm and what he may reprent to whe gay men, and th what whe gay culture orbs around: rich, straight-actg whe men wh large penis, and a world that revolv around those ponents of inty.

Not only is Hamm ostensibly good bed, he’s reprentative of cultural power: His prence, and the humor that’s drawn om , be a way to articulate and satirize what whe gay men want.

It isn’t precisely the reactns om those soliced on the street, or at least not exclively; ’s also the prumptively whe gay dience sayg, “Y, of urse we would have a threome wh Jon Hamm and Billy Eichner.

A SATIRE ON GAY RIGHTS

Gay men gravate, not to the polil satirist, but to the black female talk show host, one whose performance of blackns is not only easy to mimic, but undoubtedly rms the language and performance of many. The dynamic between gay whens and black queerns and femy is ght, ls an example of cultural exchange and more of appropriatn, particularly bee of racist attus wh the LGBTQ muny. Or, rather, you n look to the answer regardg Cookie on Empire, of whom one of the men repeatedly says, “She’s fierce”: On the one hand, like the Wendy Williams qutn and answer, functns as a crique of whe gay male appropriatn of black femy.

It means that his edy equently the thgs that rmally fe what whens and gayns are, particularly the sense that the cultural objects exist relatn to what is not whe and gay. Billy on the Street sometim feels like si baseball wh the cultural referenc, and those cultural referenc appeal to whe gay men.

GAY SATIRE

Even if Eichner is not entirely succsful, though, his attempt to satirize whe gay culture is admirable—bee ’s too equently amed as the only kd of queer culture. After all, if queerns n be read as open, fluid and expansive, then why do often feel like gay media returns aga and aga to the same thgs?

Constctg our own culture has been vastly important to our history as queer people, but the fn of that culture has rarely been left to queer women, trans people, and people of lor to the same extent that has gay cis men, cludg those that appropriate om others.

YOU'VE PROBABLY HEARD OF THE RED SRE, BUT THE LSER-KNOWN, ANTI-GAY 'LAVENR SRE' IS RARELY TGHT SCHOOLS

At their bt, Eichner and Billy on the Street pot out the ways which gay culture n feel isolated s cultural obssns, overwhelmgly whe, and prone to tokenizg women and people of lor. From his tone of voice, whose rivative nature and savage approach is self crique, to the way his on-the-fly segments feel perfectly lculated, make no mistake: Billy Eichner is tryg to implite your gay male whens.
