Actor Henry Winkler has unveiled a statue of his iconic Happy Days character Arthur "Fonz" Fonzarelli in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.Yay for the Fonz!
Too bad that statue sucks it raw.
Ok, first let me start this little rant by pledging my love to The Fonz. We all loved the Fonz. Even those of you sitting there sayin' "Not me, man - I never liked that Fonzie guy" are totally lying to yourself and everyone else. At some point in your young life, you told someone to sit on it and you loved that fucking Awesome Moment of Burn, so you at least owe Mr. Arthur Fonzerelli your gratitude and respect.
Bless you, Henry Winkler, for bravely mugging and thumbs-upping for an hour with this fucking mess of a tribute to the lovable TV character you created. This statue looks absolutely nothing like the Fonz. It looks like Bob Eubanks fell into a carbon freezing chamber and kinda liked it. Aaaaaay!
Of course, my biggest concern is for Greater Milwaukee's metallic mime community:
Will the Bronze Fonz screw these homeless theatre students out of their "jobs"?
"It's an honor," Winkler said. "But it is so bizarre to think there should be a statue. I wasn't sure it was something that could happen to me."
It did happen to you, Hank. And for that, I am truly sorry.

I saw that on CNN this morning and could not believe how bad that statue looked!
And nobody could hold a candle to Ralph Malph...
I was gonna say it looks like Alan Thicke, but Bob Eubanks might be a better comparison.
Does that statue put you in the mood to make whoopie, Kat?
Just wait until that bronze statue decides it'll be a good idea to jump over bronze sharks in a pair of bronze water skis.
Yeah it does look bad. It's too shiny, it looks like that dude on Star Wars.
I am so with you -- that totally looks more like Bob Eubanks than Winkler. This is total crap. Whoever made that statue should be standing in the unemployment line right about now.
Yeah I saw the bronze Fonz too and was disappointed it wasn't better! He could at least have had a bronze babe on each arm and an "AAAAAAI!" pose, no? And yeah, it doesn't much look like him either.
I'd like to see bronze statues of Joanie and Chachi so I can entice birds to shit on it.
Years later I learned the jukebox was rigged...
Besides "sit on it" there was, "step into my office..."
And I just came up with a truly brilliant idea with genuine commercial possibilities and I owe it all to you, Kat, and if it pans out, I'll give you exclusive rights in Canada!!!
I loved to play Pinky and Leather Tuscadero. I admit that I liked playing Leather better. Pinky was abit to slutty.
Teenage Tony modeled himself on The Fonz you dig? You ain't seen nothin' till you seen a 13 year old kid with gelled hair and a cucumber in his pants, calling everyone "babe". Course it's totally acceptable nowadays cuz I'm grown up and dripping in awesome. And the cucumber's all real. Rowr baby.
I would have believed Chachi but that don't look like The Fonz!
That thing looks like Destro from GI Joe. Terrifying.
That is friggin' AWFUL! The real Fonz should give it a hit so all of the glazing just slides off.
It looks like Dana Carvey doing a Fonz imitation.
Sorry (checked the link) definitely Bob Eubanks.
Say it, sister!
Leonesse - I totally did that too! But I actually liked being Pinky. Maybe we should set up a play date.
Totally Bob Eubanks! Although, I don't know who Bob Eubanks even is.
Wow.
Hmmm...
How do you know who Bob Eubanks is?
