| 12-07/08-1966 | "The Penguin's Nest" |
Grace Gaynor as "Chickadee..."
A cocktail waitress in a cock-teaser costume...
Who's really the Penguin's HenchGirl...
And a Bimbo with a thing for guns...
She sees her side is losing the fight...
...Oh, here comes Chief O'Hara...
There goes Chief O'Hara...
Why, the Vixenish Banshee is humiliating the poor Chief!
She's highly enthusiastic to help commit murder...
With an umbrella gun... She'll hold
any kind of gun as long she gets to point it...
Thanks to Starman* for the large vidcaps...
When B&R weren't being ko'd or tortured, it generally fell upon Alfred & Chief O'Hara to be used & abused, and since they are not Super Heroes, their indignations are particularly pathetic... The lack of continuity in the series is highlighted when The Penguin doesn't at first recognize Alfred, a man he held in captivity & brain-washed in "Fine Finny Friends..." But this doesn't stop him from stuffing Alfred into a giant pie... O'Hara was just on his knees before Marsha 2 week before, caged & enslaved, and now he's back down on the ground again before another FemmeDom...
Whereas
the power for men is symbolically represented in their arms & chests, for
WOmen, in addition to their rear & breasts, the legs are a power symbol...
Chickadee's costume highlights all 3 of the FEmale Power sources... The leg
represents the erect phallus, and the breasts & butt, when jutted in
opposite directions again approximates a phallic inflation... Innately
these forms are designed to inspire men into the same state of inflated arousal...
The gun obviously is a power phallus, so after tripping the Chief to the
floor with a straight leg, she then lords over him expressing all her FEmale
Power Sources, as well as turning the male power of the gun back onto the
Chief... His defeat is utter and abject, her Dominance complete...

C writes: "Certainly
Gaynor’s legs are outstanding, and are shown to great effect by her skimpy
costume. And certainly she deserves credit for her performance, portraying
perhaps the most vicious and mean henchgal of the entire series. But I must
admit that her using a gun didn’t do anything for me, especially considered
in the context of the show. By this point, the show had just completed the
first half of its 120-episode run, although none of the principals knew it
at the time. At that point, a conventional gun seemed out of character and
out of place. Perhaps had it been a gun that put the victim into a trance,
or turned him into a 6-year-old, it might not have seemed so incongruous,
given what the show had become."
