Bonus video! The best (& worst) Brokeback Mountain jokes
Added 2025-06-30 19:57:58 +0000 UTCHello, here's a rare Monday-afternoon bonus video! Usually I post these on Sundays, but because we've had a lot of folks joining from my new Brokeback Mountain video, I didn't want to keep you in suspense for a week with this one: The best (and mostly worst) Brokeback Mountain jokes from the early 2000s.
I've got some clips to share from SNL, of course; but also from Jay Leno, Family Guy, and some resourceful YouTubers who jumped on the then-popular trend of reëditing movie trailers.
Plus, I have a few "lost media" requests for clips that must exist out there somewhere but I wasn't able to track down: A Brokeback/Kong mashup from The Soup, and Nathan Lane on Letterman doing a Brokeback musical. If you have leads on any of those, please let me know and I'll share them in future bonus videos!
And speaking of future bonus videos, I'll have a new one this weekend about the changes that the film made to the original short story -- including a change that Annie Proulx absolutely HATED. (Until she saw it on the big screen, and realized they were right.)
Thanks again for making all these videos possible, and welcome aboard to all the new members!

I would like to go up to Jay Leno, put my arm around him and share that I am a fellow Buggati fan, someone who cared for a loved one dying of Lewy Body Dementia, and ask him, as he cared for his wife, to picture himself in the 80's or 90's and caring for his partner...except that partner is a man dying of AIDS. Many hospitals will not acknowledge his love. Many people will ridicule the relationship. Families will push him away from the man he needs to care for....Maybe then the jokes that ridicule a Gay relationship will feel hollow and be worthy of repudiating.
