Comment on A comic from Lunarbaboon
PhantomPhanatic@lemmy.world 1 year agoThe red shirt part of the joke is referring to TOS exclusively because it was so prevalent. But really it’s a larger trope found across lots of different shows and genres. They may not wear red shirts but you’ll know them when you see them.
I think it’s a great joke and has stood the test of time. You should try watching TOS before proclaiming that the joke doesn’t work.
