There is a YouTube series "Odd One Out" by Jubilee with that premise, not necessarily gay but other social groups as well. In one episode, there really were only Odds and no one how was what they pretended all to be

[-] tacofox@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Started watching it based on your comment. It’s mid, but good enough to watch and can be funny. I am hoping it picks up a bit though.

[-] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 66 points 1 year ago

What if there are zero straight men at the end?

[-] SpraynardKruger@lemmy.world 53 points 1 year ago

You both win an all-expenses-paid romantic getaway with your new soul mate/fellow contestant.

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 46 points 1 year ago

This would be a nightmare because I have no idea what the signals look like.

[-] SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago

Are you swinging clockwise or counter clockwise?

[-] essellburns@beehaw.org 16 points 1 year ago

The show would be very revealing as we'd learn what 12 men think the signals look like!

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Or rather the opposite of the signals look like

Maybe the ones that ping on "gaydar"?

[-] tryptaminev@feddit.de 28 points 1 year ago

Gaydar is a 1312 kHz signal.the encryption is specified in ISO: 11919

Had a girl one time tell me she has perfect gaydar. Asked her if I was and without skipping a beat she said “yeah you are”…. Spoiler: I’m not.

Luckily she was just a friend of mine who was already married. But her look when I said that I’m not was priceless.

This is brilliant.

[-] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 33 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

So when one of them is voted off, does a screen plate report the exiled contestant is gay? Because if they're all typical straights and the comedy is based on them being at least a bit homophobic.

This reminds me of classic USMC gay chicken, which seems to be a conspiracy to turn all our fresh trained marines ~~totally gay~~ questioning.

which movie is that? The Fandom (2020)?

[-] lowleveldata@programming.dev 30 points 1 year ago

Do it with girls and I'd watch it

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Do a gay show and a lesbian show. I'll watch both

[-] grue@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

If all the men are straight, the game will end after one week no matter who gets voted out (and everybody except the one guy who's worst at acting gay gets $1M).

I guess that's not a problem, as long as the folks making it are okay with it being a one-off special and not a series.

[-] nvvp@discuss.tchncs.de 23 points 1 year ago

That's just the cover story to tell the contestants. The real game is seeing a bunch of straight guys pretending to be gay. Probably poorly.

[-] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 year ago

No, it ends when you're down to two people. That's ten people who have to be voted off, so ten weeks of TV.

Then you reveal the premise to the last two guys, and tell them that they have to roshambo for the prize money.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Once a week someone gets outvoted, until 2 are left, or the straight man is out

(emphasis added)

If they're all straight, then the straight man is necessarily voted out the first week.

[-] 1rre@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm only getting into semantics because you are - that statement is singular and definite, therefore it can only be taken to have one of two meanings:

A) a given straight man is selected at the start, and once he is voted out it ends.

B) it ends once the final straight man is voted out, as at that point he would be the straight man. This can never occur as he would win by being the only one remaining, so there would be no vote for him to vote himself out.

If they're all straight without a single selection at the start, then there is not a definite straight man, and even if there is one selected at the start there's only a 1/12 chance he gets voted out first.

Nah, let them play a game of chicken.

The one doing the most gay thing wins. See how far both of them would go.

[-] norbert@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago

Suddenly it just becomes "who'll make a gay porno for 7 figures?"

The answer is everyone.

Gay chicken orgies?

[-] SternburgExport@feddit.de 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I would be voted out so fucking quick and I‘m proud of it.

Edit: Oh fuck my dumbass misread this and thought gay people would be voted out

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 30 points 1 year ago

Weird thing to brag about.

[-] ChemicalPilgrim@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

Big "I'm not gay! I'm not gay!" Energy lmao

[-] alignedchaos@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

Who do you feel the need to convince of this? Yourself? Lol

[-] Magnus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago

Big "I'm gay I'm gay!" energy in that edit

[-] MeepsTheBard@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 year ago

The more time that passes between each repost is more time for the premise to be less "2005 dude-bros can't fathom being unmasculine for a second" and more "when did Troye Sivan write this?"
