Yeah except one is a racial stereotype that isn’t true and the other is an permanently intrinsic reality of your existence

A reminder from an older Non-binary person. In the 80's and 90's society had a very polar view of androgyny and gender uncertainty. If you were beautiful, in a band or some kind of pop icon, then androgyny was celebrated and people loved it. If you were just ordinary, awkward, a body type that the public didn't decide was hot, then people were cruel and horrible stereotypes defined it. Pat was just another example of how people created horrid characters to depict people who were different. The same period was pretty horrible with one dimensional gay and lesbian characters. Of course people looking at Pat today would see it as a pretty horrible interpretation of androgyny and a very biased one intended to make mainstream people at that time laugh. The same way racist cartoons did in the 1940s. I was fairly androgynous in the 80-90s, but I was very alternative, so it only led to problems with toxic male strangers when out in the city. But I had a friend who was overweight, shy and pretty terrible at social interactions. She looked gender ambiguous and people gave her hell for it all the time, so much so that she lashed out at people often and made things worst. She didn't survive the 1990s after turning to self destructive behavior and self hate. Pat reminds me of that time, before we had terms and any kind of support in a society that was pretty terrible and cruel.

Growing up (in the 90's and 00's), I vividly remember my dad often shrugging and saying "It's Pat!" whenever confused conversation happened related to androgyny. I had literally never heard of this character or film until just now. Apparently my dad was at least aware of it enough to reference them pretty frequently. The weirdest part about this is, I'm pretty confident my dad never actually watched this film, and whenever he shrugged and said "It's Pat!" about someone or something it wasn't as a mockery. It was more of a "I guess I just won't ever/dont need to know their assigned gender!" which, in a completely ironic way, was really a form of 90's/00's LGBT+ acceptance. I started to say "It's Pat," and so did the rest of my nuclear family, but we all meant it as "don't ask further about their gender, we don't need to know" in our own family short-form. We all know the correct language now, of course, but I'm honestly stunned to learn that a genderless nickname my family once used has its origins in such a hateful character/film! I feel terrible now!

I’m just a straight guy who was a teenager in the 90s. My upbringing in evangelicalism taught me that gay people were sinful, and that we were in a culture war against them. My mom and dad boycotted Disney and other companies (for a while) when they came out in support. As an adult I look back and see the many errors of what I was taught. I learned to accept and see that gay people are actually a totally normal thing, in part due to recent interactions, and in part due to stories that I reflected on from my childhood. I have also learned to understand trans people better, but I will admit I still struggle to understand. It will come with time, I am sure, just like it did with gay people. But here is one thing that I have found helpful: I started to re-watch some of my faves, such as ace ventura, life of Brian, etc. There are some direct and/or indirect jests at trans people in those movies. I still appreciate the movies for what they are, but now I also make an acknowledgment of the shortcomings toward these people that unfortunately weren’t really true humor with them, rather, humor at their expense. How did this help me? Because it was a history lesson: It showed me that these people have always existed… i mean when was life of Brian made, in the ‘70s? I never even noticed these parts of these movies in the past, but now they stick out to me like a sore thumb. And the fact that these different types of people have always existed tells me that it’s a real legitimate thing to be like that. The mistakes of movie past help me remember this is legit thing (if it didn’t exist they wouldn’t have been making fun of it). I truly hope we can have some good comedy in The future that makes fun of all of us (laughing with, not against), because that’s what would truly be funny with no cringe moments for decades to come. My apologies if my reply is not very well worded, but basically a little bit of film history showed me just how real people are that are different from me. Yes, the jabs in these movies are unfortunate and were hurtful at the time as well as now, but at least it can point out that these people are real, and we should change our perspectives now because of that. I have both gay and trans people in my life and love them so much. I may not always understand, but sometimes I remind myself that I don’t have to fully understand everything to still love and accept.

Like... I had no concept of what was good or bad queer representation (I was literally in elementary school when I saw this movie) So I was just like "Ohhh people can look like both? People can look at me and be confused? People don't have to know what gender I am the second they see me? I want that! I want that soooo bad!" People at school, and in my family, started calling me Pat when I began to dressing in a way that reflected my gender, which was pretty close to how Pat dressed tbh. And yeah, that sucked, but I still felt seen by Pat. Because Pat "got it". Pat dressed in a way that made them comfy, and I wanted that comfort too. Obviously I don't feel that for Pat anymore and recognize how harmful the character was, but 1998 me loved that problematic mess of a character.

To me, that was the joke. I clearly forgot the more problematic aspects of the character, but as a kid I saw Pat's neurotic personality as a reaction to how inappropriate and persistent other people always were about their androgyny.

As a cishet guy, I was aware at the time of the lgbt community in general and accepting of it, I knew about intersex from bio class, I didn't know about nonbinary though. So, this was really the only exposure to it I had, and halfway through even a skit, I no longer wondered about Pat's gender or sexuality, I just found them nauseatingly annoying, slightly racist and a rather terrible person. It was at that moment I wanted them to get hit by a bus for that reason lol! That was my takeaway, how they were was far more of an issue than who they were, a person's character being far more important than their identity and all that.

It's not that someone is "obsessed" as if the confused person has some sort of neurosis. In fact, the most significant difference between any two people is defined by their sex, and the human brain is wired so that's the first thing you notice about someone, before their size or race or anything else. Male and female is in our DNA, and the complementary attributes of our sex form the foundations of human society. So, like it or not, people are naturally and innately disturbed when someone is around and it's not clear what they are. It's not even a conscious choice. You can decide it doesn't matter, sure, but it's still there. This character, movie, etc., just made fun of all that.

Disney literally had the opportunity to use Pat as part of it's (hypocritical) pride celebrations every June

@MoonshineTheDragThing

Just like how they had the opportunity to use Peter Allen for their pride celebrations every year. Here's why I say this: The musical about his life is called The Boy From Oz and Disney owns the rights to The Wizard of Oz. Disney can afford the rights to use Peter Allen's songs and likeness for a pride parade. It would be incredible to see them make Wizard of Oz parade float based on the Wizard of Oz references in the Only An Older Woman song from The Boy From Oz. Also, the original version of the When I Get My Name In Lights song from Peter Allen's Legs Diamond musical would be perfect as the opening song that would begin this hypothetical parade.

Ok, I want to make it clear I'm not disagreeing with you. This is of it's time, and I'm thankful it's now looked down on.... however, I was in high school during this period of SNL and me and my queer friends at the time (especially my butch girlfriend) loved SNL because there was almost no representation in media at all. And we were just trying to get through highschool while being bullied daily. So, when people talk about it being in some way groundbreaking, that's what they mean. When there's no representation, even a bad joke feels like it's better than nothing... or it did then. It was bringing up the issue of gender non-conformity before most people knew what it was.

I’m happy that this movie is getting more attention because Ween is in it and they’re amazing. I grew up watching Pat skits on SNL with my aunt and her VERY CLOSE FRIEND Pat. Who was a lot more Long Island than the character. But, maybe just because of the times and the fact that I haven’t given a critical watch with my better eyes, but it always felt more like an inside joke that I was a part of, and we were freaking out the squares who couldn’t understand our absurdist mystery.

I don't believe that it had formed officially. David Bowie - gender bender. Tim Curry - Sweet transvestite. Actually two original Sailor Moon characters were non binary, in the original Japanese. They always had a culture of androgyny.

Maybe a hot take, but here goes. I feel like a decent amount of the jokes in the Pat-o-verse could work as a solid cultural critique, even today, in that they gravitate around cis people's inability to deal with non-binary people and with ambiguity in a general sense. Their inability to move on from the "mystery" and their repeating failure to discover the "truth" of Pat's sex could potentially play, given the right writing and circumstances. If Pat were confident and successful, the humor would land so differently. It could still feel gross in that they're crossing personal lines (like speculating about your coworker's favorite sexual positions), but that's within the realm of a skillful writer, and it's no longer at Pat's expense. Instead, Pat is intentionally written as an offputting freakshow, and Pat's clueless or intentionally confusing behavior toward the question doesn't help either. This was not the right character to be many people's first exposure to the concept of non-binary people, and even now it'd still be pretty impossible to do right.

The main message could that they get frustrated with their coworkers constantly trying to figure out what's in their pants so they go through jobs like crazy, because someone always end up going too far, or even that they get fired a lot because they get blamed for a bunch of mishaps. It could be a classic "it's what's on the inside that counts" (and more subtlety "don't be weird/nosy towards people's personal lives") message, rather than whatever it already is.

Basically the bunch who insist they're "non binary" are just people who are desperate for attention, and manage to be horribly ugly in the process. I don't see that in this group, but the ones screaming about it all the time are hideous. Nobody wants to be forced to have sex with someone that has the wrong genitalia. Being supportive would be telling you people that you aren't a special creation, and you need to stop pretending that imaginary sexual status means you're trans. Trans people don't want to be part of your fad and they don't want you pretending to be one of them. Pay attention to Actual Trans People and stop with this nonsense. The proof that you're full of it are all the ones that think they can change their "pronouns" at a whim. Get over yourselves. "Non binary" is not the same as trans. Trans people have a very specific mental condition that made them that way. They didn't decide they were trans because it was a great way to get everyone paying attention to them. You people are as delusional as trump supporters. The same sort of illogical thinking aimed in a totally different direction.

This character paved the way for actual representation today instead of a caricature. It's Pat shows us how far we've come and how far we've yet to go. The 90s were a very horrible time to be queer. Even a very negative character felt better than nothing because SNL has always been a show that pushes progress through mocking society's ills. I'm hopeful we'll get through this current round of hate and fear, but it's still scary. Pat hasn't aged well, but the character was still a lot of progress at the time...queer characters usually died or were monsters, so the character was actually progress for its time. I'm thankful for progress.

Interesting that so many of you trans non binary find this character positive. I am a trans woman, and suppose I was shallow, and vain , admiring the beautiful woman. I have commented a few time. Japanese anime has always had cool, alternative, confident and completely androgynous characters. When I was little in the 80s my disappointment was extreme never finding out characters gender. I suppose that would be great for the NB

And as a suggestion, I would show queer young adults (born after 1994) Torch Song Trilogy. It's a pretty honest look at gay life in the early 80s. It depicts a reality that doesn't exist in the same way in the 2010's and 2020's. It was written and starred a very young (and very thin) Harvey Firestein, as well as Matthew Broderick. I will admit, it's one of my favorite movies, but mostly for showing a time in queer history that could be easily forgotten. We lost an entire generation of storytellers and historians to the HIV/AIDS crisis. This movie helps fill some of the holes without being a dry documentary.

Another great one is _Parting Glances_ (1986). It not only is Steve Buscemi's second feature film, but it has Kathy Kinney appearing in an actual role. The film was a low-budget but high-quality labor of love by writer and director Bill Sherwood, who made just this one film before his death from AIDS in 1990 at age 37.

I distinctly remember when Pat sketches started on SNL. I'm embarrassed to admit that I thought it was cool that there was a character who was neither a boy or a girl! I was a little kid and didn't realize that Pat *wasn't* neither a boy or girl but was actually a hateful joke.

I'm non-binary and back in the day I remember seeing it's Pat on television and enjoying the film. The characters seemed a little weird but I'm a little weird too. At the time I wasn't as sensitive to a lot of the way that hateful people act and didn't realize how terrible a lot of these jokes were. Honestly I'm glad that I got to see non-binary and androgynous characters represented on television and I wish I could pull off androgyny but are glad that movies like this don't really get made anymore as well. We have a far richer vocabulary for discussing these issues these days and I am thankful for it. Being a little bit too old for SpongeBob oh, it's Pat is literally the only thing I know about ween

As an older person just coming to terms with being nonbinary, this SNL skit turned movie spoke to me on so many levels. I will never stop loving this movie for the ideas this character awoke in me.

It’s Pat was HILARIOUS!!! 😂😂😂 Thanks for the walk down memory lane. These were awesome clips! Shows you appreciate good humor. Keep it up !!! 👍

"It's Pat" was on TV once in the mid-90s. It's one of the few times I can remember most of my family actually just randomly watching a movie together. We were transfixed ... that's the only word I can think to use there but it feels weird in the moment. Anyway, sometimes I feel sad that the nature of media is such that my son will never be randomly sucked into a movie he would normally never watch just because it happened to be on TV. Then I remember what happened to my family and "It's Pat."

Shout out to my fellow enbies, wishing Chris a MUCH better partner than Pat

Very interesting take. Great vid. I found this movie to be hilarious, but mostly because pat is insufferable. I didn't know anything about non-binary or gender fluid folks during my first watch and I'm sure some of it would be SUPER cringe now😅 But the absurd lengths they'd got to just to NOT answer the question is what made me laugh the most. They guy stepping in front of the captions STILL cracks me up😂 I'm kinda glad this movie wouldn't fly today though.

Pat didn't give a crap what anybody thought about...Pat. That might be a good lesson to learn. 👍

*PAT* was not a misrepresentation of trans people. Pat was not trans. You are projecting that onto Pat. You really need to stop being manipulated by the elite agendas to get you triggered. Seek Truth, not self centeredness.

OH MY GOD- you just unlocked so many memories Non binary person here, when I first started talking to my dad about being more gender neutral he immediately went “OH! Like Pat!” And I was very confused, so he had me look up some clips and they were… interesting, I tried to remember it was years ago it was made but couldn’t help but take some offense. I mean at least he got the idea!

Abby McEnany addressed the "Pat" issue brilliantly in her show, Work in Progress, with Julia Sweeney starring as herself.

Honestly at this point I’m surprised they haven’t stuck this movie on Disney+ as an addition to the Pride month collection along with Owl House and two episodes of Black-ish or whatever

the “It’s Pat” sketches influenced my choice of name, i chose Patty (my deadname is Peter). i hadnt seen footage of the movie until now, i didnt realize they upped Pat’s horribleness in the movie so much compared to the sketches. i also chose Patty cuz i like peppermint patties and jamaican meat patties and burger patties, and i prefer being _patted_ to being _rubbed_ due to sensory issues. @Evasive pls dont tell me i named myself after hatespeech!!! i really liked the It’s Pat SNL sketches on youtube during my early transition 3 years ago cuz im half-jewish and i had a bit of an afro hairdo like Pat. i kind of looked like Pat and i still kinda do tho im more femme now. i hadnt seen the scene in the movie of Pat being racist towards those Black folks. pls im srry. i just liked the representation from so long ago. 😢

Work in Progress does a really good job of addressing this *with* Julia Sweeney in a way that allows her to meaningfully apologize for the harm she caused the queer community with the queer community driving the conversation, in a way that validates queer people. Also it’s just a great show in general that deserved a much wider audience than it got. Recommend!

Just saw this in my recommendations and got me curious on what this was since I am a fellow nonbinary myself and wrow... that sure was a movie! I used to watch some of the older snl stuff, but this came out before I was even born so that's probably why I've never heard of or seen this, lol. I really like how you got nonbinary folks to react to this; it just makes me feel happy to see more nb and really any gender non conforming folks out here existing 💜! Also definitely going to check out your other videos now!

This is the first video of yours I've ever seen and I already feel like your dead pan is legendary

As a nonbinary person, the clips that you showed made me giggle* and there was a part of me that felt like this isn't so bad because they're not so much saying that Pat is weird for being non-binary. It was more like they were saying that everyone else was weird for desperately trying to figure out what was under their clothes, including having the neighbor go psychotic on them. And then you showed the end scene where their clothes get ripped off on stage in front of everyone and everyone cheers. And I just wanted to cry. Because it was like we just sexually assaulted this person but now all of the cis people have their answer and they can understand how to think about Pat now and that makes them more comfortable and so that makes it okay. No! It's not ok. 😭 *I want to point out that not all the scenes made me giggle. I thought the racist stuff was particularly disgusting. I was giggling at the scenes where I could actually relate to the character because of how people were treating them. It was more like this movie was giving me permission to laugh at the cringiness of my own life because the life of a nonbinary person is pretty cringe a lot of the time because other people are so disgusting about us and our bodies and I didn't hate seeing that on the screen.

That ones surprisingly interesting because it's clear that their child's problem stems from them trying to enforce a gender when non exists. They are an agendered person who dissociates into two distinct people due to trauma caused by their parent's emotional abuse. It also has an out for presenting neurodivergent people as dangerous - they aren't a killer because they have DID, they are a killer because they are an evil doll created with dark magic, raised by people with the same background.
