The Fonz wasn't cool, he was a Loser
I used to love Happy Days when was a kid growing up in the 1980s, but when I look back on this show I realize some painful facts about my childhood heroes. Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzarelli was NOT some cool guy that you would want to emulate. Fonzie was a straight up loser. Let us look at things:
1. Fonzie was AT LEAST 20 years old (if not older) when the show began, and anyone who is 20 or over that hangs around high school kids is a LOSER. Plain and simple.
2. Fonzie wasn't even cool enough to hang around the real cool and popular kids in a high school, so instead he hangs around the social rejects like Richie, Potise, and Ralph. Richie and Potsie accept the Fonz into their life, because to them he's super cool because of all the sex he gets. Basically the Fonz is one of those 20 something guys that hung around you and your friends when you were 15 or 16. At first you are really excited because you think this cool guy that has a mustache, is old enough to drive, buy liquor and cigarettes and watch adult movies is hanging you and your goofball friends. You all think, "damn I can't believe he's hanging around us!". Then it sinks in, "Oh my God, this 20 something year old dude with a mustache is hanging around US."
3. Fonzie mainly dated high school girls. Like the balding 20 something Wooderson from Dazed and Confused, "that's what I like about high school girls, I get older but they stay the same age". Yuck, the Fonz is a perv.
4. Fonzie lives in an attic above the Cunningham's garage.
5. The Fonz never finished high school and can't read or write.
Happy Days was a show that had a main star who was a LOSER, no matter how many girls he was having.
