Another Match Game exchange (Match Game PM Episode 19) I think about all the time is when the question was about a woman so liberated that she not only burned her bra, she burned her blank.

Fannie: Do you know that Richard is a feminist?

Gene: Is he a feminist? Why do you say that?

Fannie: Because he marched with me in an Alice Doesn’t Do Anything Anymore march.

Gene: And where did you march?

Richard: Alice Doesn’t Day. Right?

Fannie: Yes, darling.

Gene: Alice Doesn’t Day?

Richard: That was the day that the women, who, you know, that they can’t get credit and they don’t get paid equal money for jobs, and they protested that day. And men that think that their cause is right were allowed to march with them.

Fannie: But, uh, I didn’t understand because the march went through Westwood. He and I— You marched me into Encino at some motel… I was confused…

Richard: Trying to get another march going.

Fannie: You said that was the rally point.

#So Much going on here. perfect encapsulation of match game feminist sensibilities. perfect satire of male feminist allies.#the deliberate malapropism of the name of the march. the earnest description of what it actually entailed.#gene straighting for them So Well. the deliveries. the encino motel reference. the punchline.#just a 10/10 for me #also the contestant’s answer was ‘the rest of her clothes’ which matched Brett #and Richard Charles and Fannie’s (and my playing along at home) answer was husband 😂#match game #match game monologue transcriptions nobody asked for #fannie flagg #fannie Flagg match game’s Mae West and Gloria Steinem simultaneously 😂
