* April 29, 2006, The Ambiguously Gay duo co-hosted 'Saturday Night Live: The Best of TV Funhouse'. * Janu(Josh Hartnett/Pink), The Ambiguously Gay Duo makes a surprise appearance in ' The X-Presidents – the Hunt for Osama'. * Kijoro, an obvious parody of Superman's Jor-El, is the duo's mentor whose spirit resides in the 'Fortress of Privacy.' He offers his advice from time to time when Ace and Gary seek counsel. Orbitrox has proffered evidence of their having visited gay bars, but emphatically denies visiting himself, snapping in subtitled form, 'Back off dickweed, it's research!' * Orbitrox is a small, green, free-floating droid who sides with Bighead on the question of Ace and Gary's sexual orientation. He occasionally partners with Bighead, but is quite a bit more undecided about Ace and Gary. Brainio is probably named for the auxiliary brain he has attached to his skull with cables and tubing. He is constantly criticized for the amount of energy he invests in this pursuit. Second only to his primary vocation of mad scientist is his obsession with outing the superheroes as gay, which tends to annoy his co-conspirators because they do not care about the duo's sexuality and only want to defeat them in order to rule the world. Sivana') as the name might suggest, sports a very large, bald head, and is usually the brains behind most of the evil schemes. He and the commissioner are endlessly engaged in debate over their positions on this subject. * The Chief of Police hangs out with the commissioner, apparently waiting to find evidence in support of his confident belief that Ace and Gary are, in fact, gay. The commissioner, voiced by Steve Carell, believes Ace and Gary might not be gay. His calls tend to interrupt a workout of some kind, with one or the other of the duo shirtless. * The Police Commissioner is the duo's primary contact, and when trouble arises, he makes the call to their hangout. His powers include super strength, breath, stamina, and flexibility. Gary is less experienced, and has fewer superpowers than Ace. * Gary, Ace's sidekick, is the younger of the duo. He is mentor to Gary, refers to him as “friend of friends,” and has a wide array of superpowers reminiscent of Superman. One such episode follows the adventures of Ace and Gary giving children a ride home in their phallus shaped Duocar, where they give home decorating tips, making suggestive gestures and innuendo while completely unaware of how they are being perceived. This gag finds itself in almost every episode.Įpisodes not following this general formula will feature Ace and Gary answering fan mail or offering child safety tips. Oblivious to their own behaviour, but now aware of the shocked and horrified expressions around them, the scene closes something like:Īce : Good job, friend-o-friends!

They, too, often discuss whether or not the duo is gay.Īce and Gary set out to foil the evil plan, but not before calling attention to themselves with outrageous antics and innuendo, and otherwise behaving in ways not usually associated with heterosexual men. Once the crime is in process, the police commissioner, with the chief of police at his side, calls on the superheroes to save the day. Upon mention of the superheroes, the villain and his associates begin a speculative debate over the orientation of and relationship between Ace and Gary. The villain declares he cannot be stopped, not even by the duo Ace and Gary. The typical episode usually begins with the villain, usually Bighead, briefing his associates on plans for some dastardly deed. 'The Ambiguously Gay Duo' is a parody of the comic book superheroes Batman and Robin, who some suggest are a gay couple, a charge most famously leveled by Fredric Wertham in his 1954 book, ' Seduction of the Innocent'.

Ace and Gary's initials, A and G, appear on their shirts, and could also stand for ' ambiguously gay.' It follows the adventures of Ace (voiced by Stephen Colbert) and Gary ( Steve Carell), two superheroes whose sexual orientation is a matter of dispute.
