Last night, I discovered entirely by accident that my video-on-demand service contained the full run of the 1980s ‘Transformers’ cartoon. Since my daughter and I had enjoyed the occasional episode on The Hub (Hasbro’s new toy-nostalgia channel) we sat down and checked out the first episode of the seldom-aired Season Four. When the child started asking about characters, I found myself unable to explain the concept of “Rodimus Prime: Headmaster” without snickering inappropriately. She quickly gave up because, as she put it, “That laugh means ‘I’ll tell you why this is funny when you’re older.’ ”
The MS-QOTD (prounounced, as always, “misquoted”) is this: What other pop culture iconic names might double as adult film star aliases?
There are two ways to approach this question
The first are pop culture names that are references to sex – Pussy Galore, Octopussy, etc.
The second are names that could also serve as a pornstar name – Max Damage, The Hammer, and so on.
Specifically, I meant the second interpretation..
And Max Damage is an awesome one. :)
I’ve always wished Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson had been a porn name
His nickname “The Rock” comes partially due to his fathers wrestling name. Rocky Johnson.
I think Rocky Johnson fits in this concept pretty well.
Blue Thunder, Knight Rider, RAM (from TRON)
No names come to mind. One particular title does, however: “Twelve”
Tom Strong
Felicia Hardy
Transformers is full of them:
Ram Jam
Sky Lynx
Shockwave
Since they are creators of pop culture, Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick
How about the Japanese Transformers, Breastforce?
–From the Wikipedia:
The Breast Force (or BrestForce as noted on the packaging of the associated toys) is the name given to an elite force of Decepticon from the Japanese exclusive Transformers series Transformers: Victory.[1] The reason for the name Breast Force is their toy gimmick. Each Breast Forcer came with a detachable breastplate that transformed into an animal attack partner which could also transform into a weapon. What animal each Breast Force member came with was hinted at in the name (for example, Leozack came with a lion, while Gaihawk had a hawk. Deathcobra’s presumably transformed into a cobra).
Hmm. there is a Transformer named Erector…Doubleheader and Powerglide are euphemistic fun.
A Go-bot named Screw Head.
He-Man gives us Fisto and Mantenna, as well as Clamp Champ, the Heroic Master of Capture.
And, dare we forget, the Nickelodean show “Cousin Skeeter.” Google an episode list if you dare…shudder…
Just look at almost ANY series from the 1970′s – 1980′s that tried to have catchy names for characters to try to sell toys.
And maybe I’m in denial, but there is nothing porn-worthy about the name Rodimus Prime: Headmaster. Nothing at all. Nope. Nada. Zilcho.
Okay, maybe a little.
Okay, maybe a little.
“Rodimus Prime thrust forward, penetrating the Decepticon battle formation, with only one mission in mind: Find Galvatron and show him how he became the greatest headmaster of them all!”
~snerk~
The Punisher, Power-man, Iron Fist(lol), The sub-mariner(Namor), The Juggernaut, probably enough to go on and on but I’ll stop.
