Rating each disguise donned by April & Mark in GFU
Part 1/6: Eps. 1 - 6
[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
Ep.1
April and Mark may not have disguised themselves at all in the first episode, but Putzi (arguably the main character of the whole series) certainly did. Here she is disguised as a dog. She's a genius.
10/10
Ep.2
Princess Fatima. Yeah, so... on the one hand, literally everyone believed it. On the other hand though... brown face.
1/10
Ep.3
Indignant cockney. It's bad. It's so, so bad. I'm sorry, April, I love you, but your cockney accent physically hurts me.
2/10
Ep.4
Marta Hurens. It was bold, it was brave, it was iconic.
9/10
Talent agent. It can't have been all that effective because when the bad guy was pretending to be him on the phone, he used a British accent. An accent which Mark was not using as part of his disguise.
6/10
Ep.5
A buyer from New York. This outfit is okay, but the pink one she has on later? CRIMINAL! You can't make me believe she was supposed to work in the fashion industry. Luckily the guy was too randy to notice.
5/10
Officer Nero Lombardo. Low-key kind of iconic, high-key kind of useless.
7/10
Ep.6
Bertie St John Wooster. I would die for this man. You ever just rock up to somebody's table and start eating their food?
9/10

Character Actor
Henry Calvin (born Wimberly Calvin Goodman; May 25, 1918 – October 6, 1975) Actor known for his role as the Spanish soldier Sergeant Demetrio Lopez Garcia on Walt Disney's live-action television series Zorro (1957–1959).
In 1952, he portrayed Big Ben on the children's TV series Howdy Doody.
His character in Zorro, Sergeant Demetrio Lopez Garcia, was a comedic foil for Zorro and his secret identity, Don Diego de la Vega (Guy Williams). Sometimes a friend (especially to Diego), sometimes a reluctant foe, Garcia is constantly outwitted by other characters, and is often his own worst enemy due to his weakness for food and wine.
After Zorro and his Disney contract ended, Calvin guest starred in numerous television series during the 1960s. In his appearance on a 1963 episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show, his character performed a comedy sketch as Oliver Hardy, opposite Dick Van Dyke's Rob Petrie character as Stan Laurel.
Other TV series he appeared in:
Petticoat Junction (in "The Ringer", 1963) as Pixley Fats
The Girl from U.N.C.L.E. (in "The Prisoner of Zalamar Affair", 1966) as Sheikh Ali Hassen
Run, Buddy, Run (in "Grand Mexican Hotel", 1966) as Jose
The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (in "The Monks of St. Thomas Affair", 1966) as Brother Peter
Mannix (in "The Cost of a Vacation", 1967) as Lazaro Figueroa

Rating all the ties that April & Mark wear in GFU
Part 1/6: Eps. 1 - 6
[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
Ep.1
No ties, just Putzi. Which is objectively better.
Ep.2
These sloppy little noob agents still haven't found any ties to wear. Poor effort, must try harder!
Ep.3
Look at this flower thingy. I like it, it's cute. I want one. Is it a tie? It is now - I'm desperate.
10/10
Ep.4
Red bowtie. I will admit that I'm not a huge fan of bowties and this may cloud my judgement.
4/10
A black tie. Boring. Basic. He could do so much better.
3/10
Ep.5
Return of the flower thingy. I think it's even the same dress. Highly embarrassing, I'll pretend I didn't notice.
10/10
Another black tie. "But hang on, why did this one score lower than the last one?" It's got bad vibes, that's why.
1/10
Pink on pink action. Love to see it, honestly.
6/10
Ep.6
Blue flower pattern. One of my favourites. Top 3.
9/10
Bertie's bowtie. The polkadots put this immediately at zero, but then the charm of it's droopiness redeemed it a little point.
1/10

Rating every hat worn by April & Mark in GFU
Part 1/9: Eps. 1 & 2
[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]
Ep.1
This corduroy monstrosity. Gross. Disgusting. I hate it. He thought he could hide from the fashion police in this bush, but he was wrong.
0/10
Ep.2
Yellow rain hat (?). I kinda dig it. It helps that I like yellow though.
7/10
Brown headscarf thingy. Technically not a hat. We aren't even going to acknowledge the right hand side of this picture for the moment, just the left. Boring, plain, not a fan of these brown vibes tbh.
4/10
I don't really know what this is, but it is sparkly. That's its only redeeming quality. The pink bits are kind of a bit... just there really, huh.
2/10
Wannabe Loz cosplay. Derivative. Lawrence of Arabia did it already. And better.
3/10
Last minute wedding veil. It's not awful, but I'd be disappointed if I was getting matried in it.
6/10
A trusty old pith helmet. Bonus point for styling it out with a pop of orange.
7/10
I'm in corduroy hell. I guess that I had to address it again eventually. Just look at it. Ew.
