Comments: Head 2 Head: Zuko vs. Fonzie

The Fonz was definitely cooler. When I was a kid, I had a Fonzie T-shirt I wore as pajamas. My mom told everybody I slept with The Fonz every night.
Aaaaaaay! What can I say!

For surely you can not think that Zuko had anything on the Fonzies style, skill, or mack-atude. i mean, for the most part, the Fonz had a new girl or two... or three... every episode. plus, the Fonz was the underdog that never gave up. even when he was out of his own territory, he never failed to succeed. come on now... do you even think for a second that the punk surfer had a chance aginst the Fonz when jumping over the shark pool? i doubt it.

Fonz rules... i mean.. what did Zuko ever achieve besides going down on sandy? nada.

Among the '70s lunchbox idols, I am definitely partial to Fonzie. The star loses some luster, though, as I get older and Henry Winkler looks more and more like a math teacher. Face it, I could kick The Fonz's ass.

The Fonz gets funnier and funnier every time I see him ride his bike into a room or hold court in a bathroom stall. 30 years old and drinking milkshakes with high-school kids? You can get arrested for that these days.

Zuko has two things going for him: 1) Travolta's pretty cool long after Grease; and 2) Sandy's get-up in the carnival scene was hot, hot, hot. Anyone who went home with that piece gets credit in my book.

They both sucked. Alf was the man.

Well, if we are comparing Henry Winkler to John Travolta, I'll bet even though Henry is a little guy, he could still kick Travolta's ass.
Unless of course, John Travolta is his Vincent Vega character from Pulp Fiction.
If it was a dance contest, then I would pick Travolta.
I would fuck either or both of them (oops, did I say that out loud?)

i think that the fonz was way cooler back in the day, but he has never played the part of anyone cool since. Travolta played on of the most bad ass characters ever in pulp fiction. advantage: johnny boy

Well... no one picked Danny Zuko, so I'll try. Think of it this way... Grease 2 had an upgrade from Olivia Newton John to Michelle Pfeiffer... and the movie was much, much worse. I gotta figure it's because of no Danny Zuko, right?

Plus... Danny had a reason to wear a leather jacket and act the way he did... he was in high school. What was the Fonz's excuse? What did that guy do with his life?

That last comment touches on an interesting point. Fonz was a self-made mechanic who drank milkshakes with high-schoolers.

He was the Buttafuoco of the '50s.

Danny Zuko.

Because I said so and I'm too tired to debate tonight.

Posted by Kathy Howe at May 8, 2003 11:03 PM

Let's see, strictly on the cool factor, I'd have to pick the Fonz. He was cooler than Zuko.

BUT ...

Danny Zuko was cuter and sexier, partially because he wasn't as cool as he was trying to be. We gals fall for that shit too often, I know, but it's true.

But I loved Henry Winkler in Night Shift!

stranded at the drive-in and

The Fonz was 10 TIMES cooler than Danny! I'm telling you did Danny get anything by a snap of his fingers? No. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy!
