“This is Buttercup. He’s a master of psychological manipulation. It’s not that he’s a monster, he just goes into a dissociative state and commits atrocities.”Intermixed throughout these hilarious introductions are legitimately hard to watch instances of the two women awkwardly flirting with one another.
Tragic attempts to flirt with another woman and an all-consuming obsession with cats? All while wearing pastel floral pattern shirts and oversized denim shorts?
This is perhaps one of the most accurate TV representations of lesbians to date.This skit takes the form of a commercial advertising a new show called Cherry Grove, which is essentially the lesbian version of Fire Island, a reality TV show where gay men just go wild partying on an island together.
The skit makes fun of lesbian stereotypes by juxtaposing them with those of gay men, cutting from shots of the hard-partying, sex, and drugs taking place on Fire Island to the boring, domestic, unsexy happenings of Cherry Grove, where a bunch of “affluent” lesbians are drinking wine, nursing their adopted babies, and finishing a jigsaw puzzle of a wolf sanctuary.
