So Easy an Ill-Conceived Character Could Do It!

The Planet Podcast, Epiosode 407: Lesson Number One

Kelka are discussing this scene in which Max goes to work after coming out as a transsexual, and he's afraid of being mocked:

KC: And then Max does a Geico commercial [laughs].
Elka: [laughs]
KC: It seriously looks like the Geico commercial where the caveman...
Elka: "So easy a tranny could do it."
KC: [laughs]
Elka: It's just like where the caveman is on the people walker at the airport
KC: Yeah, the people mover.
Elka: Except that Max is the caveman. It's not really much of a stretch.

No offense is intended towards transgendered people here, but Kelka are SO right in their comparison. Here is the Geico commercial if you need proof; the similar music seals the deal.

Unfortunately, "The L Word" didn't portray Max with enough depth or intelligence. That's why comparing him to a caveman isn't a big stretch.

That is too funny. I had to go back and watch the Max scene again, but they are totally right. I wonder if Max comes back in the next season or not. If he does, I hope they work on character development.
