What makes Fonzie so cool?

I know people will say: its tv, its fake, its not real life. But I had to share this:

Fonzie was and still is THE MAN! That was hilarious and a good DJ lesson. There is a bronze statue of him in Milwaukee, where Happy Days allegedly took place. There should also be one of him in the DJ Hall of Fame if one is built one day, lol.

Lookswise, he was definitely a Chad.

But his IDGAF game was also fantastic.

@Trump, do you think Fonsi would be complaining about the state of the market or that he’s getting too old to attract young women?

Attitude is your problem too.

Great post. Fonz Was also a helpful man. He was always trying to help little beta boy Richie. Another DJ characteristic.

If you think about it, the person writing the script for Fonzie must have been a 70's-era DJ himself to come up with the lines, mystique, and attitude The Fonz (Henry Winkler) had to follow. Fonz did have a legitimate love interest, Pinky Tuscadero, but her never went beta around her though he did soften a bit in her presence.

And yes, he did coach and protect young beta boy Ritchie, who was also very likeable.

This really illustrates what a great actor Henry Winkler is. Even when young he came across as a sort of likable, whiny guy.

This isn't related to the clip, but Fonzie as depicted on the show basically had super powers. Henry Winkler said he didn't want to ever show him fighting, but there was little doubt he could take out a gang all by himself. The closest he ever came to violence was when a gang member wanted to fight him, and he shoved the guys arms into the pockets of a pool table, where they got stuck, so he had to listen while Fonzie talked it out with him.

Anyway, I said all that to say this: Fonzie is a perfect example of a guy that a girl would feel safe with. No guy would dare attack while Fonzie was around. He's like Superman or Batman. I think that's where most of his "DJ appeal" comes from.
