<b>Introduction</b></h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Welcome to the Vassar Media gallery.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Shortly after graduating Vassar in 1995, I started to note how often Vassar was mentioned in film and television. But unlike other oft-referenced, well-known schools such as Harvard or Yale, which are frequently used to denote a character as elite or intelligent, invoking Vassar tended to imply something more. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAIuWCwhO8TV7jJ887z4-NN3mXj7IAWgYBKsFJF5JUV4edeTPWp4BO9fgS4L7LyQBGnK4Df6gmlB_02bbLiC1L8Z_Qq_0mNYt-tuk5pDoEvJ9SDQnmBpfrE8ou864_eqmCiVcunt0qchQ/s1600/vassar_college_arboretum_new_york.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAIuWCwhO8TV7jJ887z4-NN3mXj7IAWgYBKsFJF5JUV4edeTPWp4BO9fgS4L7LyQBGnK4Df6gmlB_02bbLiC1L8Z_Qq_0mNYt-tuk5pDoEvJ9SDQnmBpfrE8ou864_eqmCiVcunt0qchQ/s320/vassar_college_arboretum_new_york.jpg" width="320" /></a>As the best-known women’s college, the Vassar label was used to reflect a number of different things—wealth, intelligence, and good breeding, to be sure, but also beauty and sexual desirability. Attaching the Vassar label to a character was frequently a punchline—the easy joke was to attach the label to a man—but it could also stand for a woman’s sexuality, or even quite the opposite: a demure and virginal embodiment of elite womanhood. Many jokes deal with gender roles, or with the idea of men ogling the beautiful women at Vassar.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In later years, the label could also be used to peg someone as a radical feminist. And once depictions of homosexuality onscreen became more commonplace, we begin to see some gay characters (men and women) with Vassar backgrounds. (And the overall frequency with which the college is mentioned increases heavily in the 80s and 90s, no doubt as some of Vassar’s graduates were beginning to occupy television writing staffs.)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This video gallery showcases the iconography of the Vassar girl (and guy). The nearly 200 clips assembled here cover films and television programs released between 1926 and today. The scenes are set from the 1870s (<i><a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2011/07/19681976.html#gunsmoke">Gunsmoke</a></i>) to the 31st century (<i><a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2011/07/20092010.html#futurama">Futurama</a></i>). One (<i><a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2011/07/19261944.html#rosalie">Rosalie</a></i>) even has a long sequence set at Vassar. They cover genres from <a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2006/01/genre-index.html#kids">kids’ shows</a> to <a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2006/01/genre-index.html#pornography">hardcore pornography</a>. A remarkable number of <a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2006/01/genre-index.html#police">police procedurals</a>, including 10<i> <a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2011/07/19881990.html#law">Law & Order</a></i> episodes, have mentioned the college. Vassar has been <a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2006/01/genre-index.html#musicals">sung about</a> by Elvis, Julie Andrews, Ann-Margret, Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly, and Ginger Rogers, among others; <a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2006/01/genre-index.html#comedy">joked about</a> by Bob Hope, Woody Allen, Lou Abbott, Cedric the Entertainer, Will Ferrell, Woody Harrelson, Groucho Marx, and John Wayne, among others; and referenced as a place to aspire to attend in everything from <i><a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2011/07/19451954.html#letter">A Letter to Three Wives</a></i> to the <i><a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2011/07/20022003.html#hebrew">The Hebrew Hammer</a></i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The clips are assembled on the next pages in chronological order, except where multiple episodes of a tv show mention it over a few years; in that case, I’ve edited the pieces of the various episodes together and placed the compilation at the year of the first reference. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUFrMY2ptE7qWQcZwT9V7ztmdThjkPZJUk3qxxswn88cpAFTg_2szh56QcgiwLGZNtL6lwRyqsUigMNB7LFTUK17-cB6bGiphNsRSxsySwfgW933vJG0-bRdtKnVN8luWNvwv3phqUa3k/s1600/library1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUFrMY2ptE7qWQcZwT9V7ztmdThjkPZJUk3qxxswn88cpAFTg_2szh56QcgiwLGZNtL6lwRyqsUigMNB7LFTUK17-cB6bGiphNsRSxsySwfgW933vJG0-bRdtKnVN8luWNvwv3phqUa3k/s1600/library1.jpg" /></a>An alphabetical list appears in the sidebar to the left. You can also review the <a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2006/01/genre-index.html">genre index</a> and <a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2006/01/star-index.html">star index</a> to find the clips of greatest interest to you. And a page listing <a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2011/07/novels-plays-music-and-other-media.html">novels, plays, music and other media</a> with references to Vassar is also available. I have not included news or documentary-film references to the college or its graduates, but reality tv and game shows, as entertainment programming, do qualify. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I apologize for the variable quality of the video and audio levels here—my skills and video-editing software are rudimentary, and many of the clips were nearly impossible to find and had to be transferred from VHS cassette to a digital format.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I owe a large debt to my many dozens of correspondents who for more than a decade have pointed me to various movies and television episodes with references. Each is thanked on the clips they alerted me to.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In the very rare instances where I have not been able to locate a clip, I have written up what I know about the scene and included it in the gallery. I also sometimes received non-specific tips where I have no idea what episode of a particular show has the reference (or even if it’s there at all), and several tips that didn’t turn out to be correct. All of my notes on this are collected <a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2006/01/missing-items.html">on this page</a>—if you can supply any additional information, please let me know.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

• <i>Black Water</i>, by John Duffy and Joyce Carol Oates<br />
<br />
Based on Oates’s novella about a Senator who is driving a young magazine writer to his hotel for sex but has an accident on the way, putting the car into a marsh. An analogue for the Ted Kennedy / Chappaquiddick incident, the scene here has a black friend of the girl berating the Senator for his liberal position on affirmative action. <br />

An undeserved flop, this hardly ever performed opera from the 1960s features Kitty, who is an ambitious young anthropologist on the hunt in India for the world’s “last savage.” Her wealthy father, worrying that capitalism is doomed in a time of increasing taxes, growing union power, and a Democratic administration, is indulging her chase because wants to marry her off to the Crown Prince of the region, to be sure she can be set up for life. Kitty’s not interested in marriage until after her quest has been completed. The Prince, Kodanda, isn’t interested in American women, but is pressured by his father to marry her since the democratic reforms in India threaten to rob his family of their wealth. You can listen to the sections that in the English translation mention Vassar here, and the text is printed below.<br />

Kodanda: Oh father, remember how shameful it would be if I, a noble prince, were to marry a girl who’s hunting for an apeman. </blockquote>

Kitty: Oh father, dear father, are you expecting me to go back to Vassar without a single trophy? </blockquote>

Kodanda: I know far too many women who have beauty, charm and knowledge. </blockquote>

Peter Schickele, <i>Classical Rap</i> <br />
Composer and classical-music parodist Peter Schickele put out this parody of a boastful rap song as performed by an Upper West Side yuppie, written in the style of the late eighteenth century.<br />

Well, I’m doing pretty well<br />
For myself right now<br />
I’m pulling down<br />
About eighty thou’<br />
My wife makes forty<br />
(She’s a Vassar grad)<br />
And, hey, for a woman<br />
That’s not half bad<br />
So we’re talkin’ six figures here<br />
But there’s one thing I want to make<br />
Crystal clear<br />
I have to laugh<br />
And I have to scoff<br />
When I hear people<br />
Calling us well off<br />
Anyone who thinks<br />
That we’re sittin’ pretty<br />
Doesn’t know what it’s like<br />
In the big, bad city.</blockquote>

Back to nature boys—Vassar girls too<br />
Watch what you say, or think, or do<br />
Continental-style strasse girls might<br />
But you know exactly if it´s wrong or right<br />
Education is an important key—yes<br />
But the good life´s never won by degrees—no<br />
Pointless passing through Harvard or Yale<br />
Only window shopping—and strictly no sale</blockquote>

Another "Vassar cracks the case," here our heroes get the tip that leads them
to realize the person they're chasing, known as the Judge, who runs an
underground operation dispensing "eye for an eye" justice on officials who
have wrongly convicted people, is a Vassar grad. I suppose it's not so bad to
be associated as a place whence come social justice warriors. The reference in
the later episode finds the antihero needling his antagonist with the story of
his first STD.

<b>Unforgettable</b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="unforgettable"></a><br />
Twice-canceled police procedural about a woman with a perfect memory who helps
the cops. I'm not even bothering watching—episode description reads that her
"high school reunion is suddenly cut short when an alum shows up dead. Carrie
has to remember back 22 years to understand the events that led to this crime"
and the clip is a standard police procedural character point for cops reviewing
suspects.<br />

This British movie, about Dylan Thomas, centers on John Brinnin (who,
<a href="http://www.freewebs.com/deathofdylanthomas/" target="_blank">if this is to be believed</a>, bears some complicity in Thomas's early death). This opening scene over the
credits has Brinnin discussing his plans to bring Thomas for an American tour,
and one of the panelists notes where he met John. For the first time in more
than 200 clips, one of Vassar's publications is mentioned. <br />

the assistant producer who excels at manipulation due to her narcissistic
personality disorder -- is seen working the contestants, interacting with crew
colleagues, and ultimately falling in love with her boss.<p></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwoA6XxMCrM8N9odJqA2KH94jp_q3lBtBQTmXwcAZVW_VwMqQD2WVOGuLE5DIE45cKc9FAD85fmoHtbe_HYjQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br /><p></p><p></p>

A wonderful, animated Hollywood satire of a town populated by anthropomorphic

Irving) has run off for the day; she reveals her ambitions to Bojack's friend,
and in a later scene, the director gives one of the all-time great Vassar
punchlines. Four seasons later, we have a quick callback. <br />

The wonderful, high-velocity satire of our political system opened its fifth
season with a great Vassar joke. Knowing the characters makes it funnier but it
stands well on its own. <br />

<b>Charlie Sheen’s Torpedo of Truth<a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=3638686650744941820&postID=7369845643721751713" name="charlie"></a></b><br />
I’ve mostly kept the gallery to references from fictional entertainment but the inside of Charlie Sheen’s head during his 2011 meltdown probably qualifies as fiction. He re-cut his disastrous <i>20/20</i> interview, inserting his own new answers and surrealistic clips and effects, to play as part of his stage show he’s been touring around. And at the 2:20 mark he makes a Vassar joke that makes no sense.<br />

This sitcom about a security company of various misfits and miscreants didn't really go anywhere but did give us a spectacularly random Vassar joke. Is it sexual? Weird? I've no idea.

This comedy about a college a cappella group uses a lovely establishing shot of Vassar to set the scene of the fictional Barden College. (The shot was also helpfully in the film's trailer.) It's rather nice that Vassar is recognized as looking so quintessentially collegiate as to show up in things like this. I've thrown on two funny scenes so this is more than just a five-second shot of the campus.<br />

A biopic of poet and author Elizabeth Bishop '34, who traveled widely, but extended a two-week stay in Brazil to fifteen years, beginning in 1951, in part to her relationship with Maria Carlota Costallat de Macedo Soares. <br />

<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="brass"></a><b>The Brass Teapot</b><br />
An establishing shot of the Library and a scene which looks to have been shot inside are the only reason to pay any attention to this movie, which sold (literally) a hundred tickets on its release in two theaters. The teapot spits out money whenever its owners hurt themselves, so they begin hurting themselves. Two Hasidic Jews (one played by the very non-Jewish Thomas Middleditch of <i>Silicon Valley</i>) show up at his door, punch the hero out, and demand the teapot, which belonged to their grandmother during the Holocaust, or some such nonsense, so they decide to do some research -- at Vassar, apparently -- as to what this thing is. <br />

</b>This is <i>quite</i> the confluence of Vassar tropes, adding up to a truly awful set of scenes in a critically reviled show that's losing audience like a house on fire due to its preachiness and jaw-dropping self-satisfaction that comes oozing out of the screen with the increasing terribleness of each episode. The character is played by actual Vassar graduate Grace Gummer '08 (and daughter of Meryl Streep '71). Just a guess, but it would seem that in having cast her, writer/creator Aaron Sorkin then rewrote part of the character with that in mind. The character went to Vassar! She then worked as a writer specializing in women's issues/reproductive rights! She's very smart and frequently references that she went to Vassar! She's an independent woman and gets mad when a male journalist gives her an interview she wants but couldn't get herself (but then feels bad for him because he got in trouble for doing so)! There's a stupid pun on Vassar's name! Anyway, here she's been kicked off the Romney campaign's media bus for demanding answers; later she's writing the story based on her interview with Romney; and then she's making up (and out) with the male lead. Barf. Aaron Sorkin has now even managed to ruin Vassar. <br />

This IFC show follows a major league baseball announcer who destroyed his career after having an on-air meltdown, and washes up in a small town calling games for the Morristown Frackers. The team intern has some modest success at burnishing his social-media profile, which leads to attracting a new and different crowd to hear him at the game than they're accustomed to, and a pretty decent Vassar joke. <br />

This 2018 film -- not sure where/how it was released, doesn't seem to have played in theaters -- finds a man who wakes up with no memory of who he is but has a savant like affinity for languages. He ends up meeting others who also woke up with no memory but have a similar savant-like gift -- for painting, music, math, different things. He's on his way to get info on one of them, and lies to his girlfriend (or wife?) about where he's going. <br />

Sort of a riff on <i>Snowpiercer, </i>this Cartoon Network series of shorts follows Tulip, a 12-year-old game designer as she goes from car to car -- each one differently themed -- in a seemingly endless train traveling through a barren landscape.

Vassar begins to appear on reality television. This show follows the lives of wealthy prep-school kids in Manhattan, and one admits (on a tragically bad date) to applying to Vassar. For a fictional treatment of New York City prep-school kids, see <i><a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2011/07/20092010.html#gossip">Gossip Girl</a></i>. (Sorry about the quality; I shot it with a digital camera as it played on the computer; haven’t found a proper copy yet.)<br />

After so many Vassar associations with <i><a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2011/07/19881990.html#simpsons">The Simpsons</a></i>, it’s nice to see a Vassar joke on Matt Groening’s other show! On the 2010 holiday special, Bender the robot describes his favorite holiday, a robot version of Hannukah. The punchline puts a new spin on both the oversexed and prim-and-proper tropes.<br />

Points for obscurity on this one—it’s a show that lasted only four episodes in 2006. Aidan Quinn is an Episcopalian priest, as is his father. His sister-in-law’s husband has run off with $300,000 of church funds and he’s here confronting the sister-in-law about a mystery woman the husband was known to be sleeping with. A secret, and a great Vassar reference, is revealed.<br />

The scene doesn’t really look it, but the show is about a post-nuclear-war America, with the survivors rebuilding life in the Midwest. Vassar is revealed as a character point for a former IRS agent.<br />

This is a late episode in a long-running sitcom focusing on African-American middle-class characters. It’s especially interesting as there are references from black characters. (The others are <i><a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2011/07/20022003.html#cedric">Cedric the Entertainer Presents</a></i> and <a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2011/07/19911996.html#living"><i>Living Single</i></a>.) In this clip, the wealthy fiancée of one of the main characters is being brought into the circle of the three main women (two of which don’t like her), and she reveals some of her history.<br />

This movie’s not nearly as bad as its reputation, although you may not believe me from watching these scenes. Lindsay Lohan is a wild child whose mother (Felicity Huffman) has parked her for the summer before she goes off to college in Idaho with her grandmother (Jane Fonda). Lohan’s sexual forwardness is somewhat at odds with the sedate Mormon lifestyle of the nice young man she meets. Here she’s being introduced to his girlfriend. In later scenes, Lohan’s fighting with her mother and grandmother about her future plans is lagely oriented around whether she’s lying to them about her stepfather sexually abusing her.<br />

This movie takes place at an unnamed college. It was shot at Brown, but from a couple of references that place them in Poughkeepsie, it would appear that it’s supposed to be Vassar.<br />

Seth MacFarlane of <i>Family Guy</i> fame has this show about a superpatriot CIA agent. It draws heavily on post-9/11 right and center-right tropes for its humor...and this entry takes the Vassar-girl-as-radical joke a little farther than usual.<br />

A funny film with English comedian Steve Coogan creating a very crazy theatrical production that stirs up some community ire in Tucson. Saturday Night Live alum Amy Poehler delivers our line, playing ACLU attorney Cricket Feldstein. A character point of no particular moment.<br />

This terrible, self-important film is based loosely on the story of Judith Miller, the <i>New York Times</i> journalist who went to jail to protect her source, mixed in with the Valerie Plame story about outing a CIA agent.

Beckinsale, the journalist, has revealed the identity of a CIA agent and is being threatened with jail if she doesn’t reveal her source. In the second scene, she’s doing a TV interview from jail with someone who’s supposed to be a Barbara Walters-type.<br />

A popular kids’ show set in the future, here the principal of the school (a regular character) is directing <i>Macbeth in Space</i>. Similarly to Spongebob Squarepants, there is a flamboyance and mannerisms to this character that read extremely gay, in an over-the-top way. The principal’s flamboyance has been well established before this point in the series; making him a Vassar student is all the more curious. Vassar as character point for…let’s say “theatrical.”<br />

<b>Lost (extra)<a name="lost"></a></b><br />
Well, not exactly <i>Lost</i>, but an extra from a set of audition tapes. Here, Jorge Garcia is reading for Sawyer (can you even imagine the show that way?). An odd treat for Losties...with an even odder treat for Vassar Losties right at the end. The scene seems to involve Sawyer struggling with someone over a sweatshirt—which apparently is a Vassar sweatshirt. Was one of the characters originally conceived as a Vassar graduate? One more <i>Lost</i> mystery to unravel.<br />

This slight comedy puts tough-guy lawman Tommy Lee Jones in a house to protect a bunch of cheerleaders, the only witnesses to a crime. One is his estranged daughter. This scene falls at the end, after the big shootout with the bad guy, and his daughter begins to grow closer to him.<br />

<b>Without a Trace<a name="without"></a></b><br />
Yet another police procedural (<a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2006/01/genre-index.html#police">see other police procedurals</a>). The investigators are checking a suspect’s background, whose Vassar alumnus status is seen as enviable. Interesting in that it’s thought of here as an elite institution without reference to gender, equivalent to any other co-ed school.<br />

My sense here is that Letterman was making a Vassar-related joke more or less all week, but I was able to catch this one clip. Since I missed the original joke, it’s now just a unanchored punchline and I really don’t know what it was about.<br />

I've known about this since the day after it aired but it took 10 years to locate a copy. The show was canceled after 6 episodes and completely sucked down the memory hole. A laughtrack-free sitcom on life in the big city for a single young woman. Here our protagonist meets up with a former childhood friend; their life paths have diverged, and the friend is high-society, while our protagonist is more spunky and down-to-earth. Ugh, I know. But the Vassar punchline's not bad. <br />

This short-lived television variety show starring a major black comic is one of only three clips I know about with the reference coming from African-American characters (the others are the sitcoms <i><a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2011/07/20062008.html#girlfriends">Girlfriends</a></i> and <a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2011/07/19911996.html#living"><i>Living Single</i></a>). This is a recurring character—the sassy Cafeteria Lady. Vassar as a character point but I can’t quite say for what.<br />

This scene was shot at Vassar—according to the <i>Quarterly</i>, they filmed in Rockefeller and New England, but this little bit is all that made it into the movie (or at least, all that was recognizable). The students are Vassar students working as extras.<br />

A wretched made-for-tv movie, where cocktail waitress Jami Gertz witnesses a crime, and is taken home for Christmas by the investigating detective for protection. She meets his mother, Tyne Daly, and they do not mix; Gertz is uneducated, Daly a socialite. In this scene, they finally make a connection...and then go out for the inevitable makeover montage scene. Vassar as character point for sophisticated and elegant.<br />

This is an excellent drama about a young man involved with an older woman; her violent ex-husband beats, and later kills him. This scene comes after the beating; his parents worry over the situation and seem to imply he’s a Vassar student. A character point of no particular moment, save that he’s sensitive and intelligent.<br />

A top sitcom, and a curious instance where the writers could really have chosen any college, but opted for Vassar. Doesn’t seem to have much import or reason behind the choice; perhaps the writer had a connection to the college?<br />

Hugh Jackman plays a wealthy New York playboy from the 1870s who has traveled through time to present-day Manhattan where he meets and falls in love with Meg Ryan. He is considerably more sophisticated, cultivated, and charming than anybody around him in 2000, and one loser friend of Ryan’s convinces him to go with him to a club to be his wingman. Jackman turns on the charm with the ladies around the table. (He goes on in this scene to describe the opera <i>Madama Butterfly</i> in loving detail, which is curious since it was written in the 1890s, but I digress.)<br />

Justin Long was a Vassar student for a year or so, so I’d imagine this joke crept in through his role in the show. Here, he’s hiring an escort to be his prom date and trying to pass her off as a Vassar student.<br />

This slight baseball romantic comedy has a fairly basic rich-girl/poor-boy dynamic (see <i><a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2011/07/19841987.html#flamingo">The Flamingo Kid</a></i> for another). The female lead, Jessica Biel, is supposed to be a Vassar graduate—it says so in every production summary, on the DVD box, and in media that drew from the production materials—but it’s never actually said in the movie. A character point for a rich, smart, and ambitious woman.<br />

It’s hard to remember Stephen Colbert back when he was playing characters other than “Stephen Colbert.” The first clip is all the way back from 2001. A second clip, from 2005, with a bit of a sexist cast in the joke, is also here.<br />

A wildly popular and critically acclaimed show about the mafia in suburban New Jersey. The first scene here was actually the later one—it’s just a Vassar poster on a wall (look carefully when the woman walks in and out of the office). In the third-season episode “He Is Risen,” daughter Meadow is drunk and wild and trying to get to Vassar to hear a band, but her recalcitrant and ill-fated boyfriend isn’t inclined to go.<br />

<br />
<b>Coming Soon<a name="coming"></a></b><br />
This was a teen sex comedy positioned as a more intelligent <i>American Pie</i> that played in one theater for one week. A major plotline follows a number of Manhattan prep-school girls applying to college. Here, one young woman gets news she doesn’t like; a contrary view, to be sure!<br />

<b>Suits<a name="suits"></a></b><br />
Another small indie film, but noteworthy here for being the first time Vassar is a character point for a gay man. (There’s one in the <i><a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2011/07/19881990.html#law">Law & Order</a></i> group, but the specific episode was after this.)<br />

<b>If You Believe<a name="if"></a></b><br />
A TV movie about a woman who gets a bump on the head and goes back in time to meet her younger, more carefree and not-embittered self. This first of the two references is from the movie’s first sequence, where we see the lead character at the Christmas dinner table at different ages. Later, her seven-year-old self cheers her on and references some of her life's high points. Ultimately, just another character point for a smart, ambitious and career-minded woman.<br />

<b>NYPD Blue<a name="nypd"></a></b><br />
All these <a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2006/01/genre-index.html#police">police procedural shows</a> seem to bring in a Vassar character at some point. Our<br />
Vassar character is writing an article for an art magazine and has some information about the disappearance of the dealer who is the subject of her article.<br />

<br />
<b>Ghost Stories<a name="ghost"></a></b><br />
Vassar even makes it into anime. Well, at least, into the English rewrite of the second episode of Gakkō no Kaidan, based on a book series by Toru Tsunemitsu. The show is about a girl who returns to the hometown of her deceased mother, to find an abandoned school stuffed full of ghosts who used to haunt the school and the town. They’re now being released due to the nearby urbanization. Our heroine’s not a Vassar student but it sounds like she wants to be; a character point for a determined, ambitious young woman.<br />

<br />
<b>Miss Congeniality<a name="miss"></a></b><br />
In this light comedy, Ben Bratt is trying to impress Sandra Bullock with his sexual prowess and his very young Vassar-student girlfriend. Bullock is a smart, tough FBI agent with no feminine side (at this point in the movie). It’s an unusual choice to make Vassar a character point for a ditz.<br />

<b>Party of Five<a name="party"></a></b><br />
A popular teen drama about five children orphaned when their parents are killed. In this scene late in the run, the youngest member of the family struggles with whether to sleep with her boyfriend; she’s also preoccupied about college options.<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>American Psycho (deleted scene)<a name="american"></a></b><br />
For this period, it’s unusual to see Vassar as a character point for a white-glove, prudish, debutante. A deleted scene on the DVD, the movie follows a young investment banker who also murders people for fun after dark.<br />
<style>.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }</style><div class='embed-container'><iframe src='https://www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/k2Na0mXACQEhfn1dcuO' frameborder='0' webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe></div>

<b>Undressed<a name="undressed"></a></b><br />
This was an MTV late-night soap opera with plotlines around sex. The show would follow a handful of characters for a few episodes and then leave them forever—essentially a series of vignettes. The arc of Max & Cassidy is of interest here as Cassidy is a spoiled prom queen who wants to go to Vassar to stay with Max, who seems to have already been accepted. She is the villain of the arc, ultimately; a mean girl who tries to play a power game with Max and ends up losing. <br />

<b>The Daytrippers<a name="daytrippers"></a></b><br />
A funny indie movie starring Hope Davis ’86. Davis is looking for her husband, who’s lied to her about his whereabouts; she tracks him to a party and finds a drunk Marcia Gay Harden. Vassar as character point to no real purpose, except perhaps as an in-joke since Davis is actually an alum.<br />

<b>Living Single<a name="living"></a></b><br />
An African-American-led sitcom from the 90s and one of the few instances of Vassar in African-American-themed material. Vassar here as a character point for class distinctions; not really a joke, but setting up toward one. <br />

One of the most iconic sitcoms of the ’90s, and no great surprise to find a Vassar reference here since Lisa Kudrow ’85 had a starring role. Our scene doesn’t feature her, though. It’s a bit of a strained joke about Vassar and football.<br />

We’ve seen little digs at Vassar being a hotbed of sexual activity, but here that idea is writ large. Woody Harrelson has a rubber prosthetic hand and is known on the competitive bowling circuit as “Rubberman”; this fact has attracted a new sponsor.<br />

Perhaps someone on the writing staff was a graduate, since Vassar showed up twice in this season. Four complete sketches are here, though unless you’re a fan you might want to skip past the first one (the line is a throwaway in the first minute. Steve Buscemi’s “Judge Judy” sketch and the <i>Aladdin</i> parody are funnier. And the Weekend Update segment in 2019 is a bit of a weird comment.<br />

A character point for the wealthy, stuffy mother of Greg, a modern-day <a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2006/01/page-four.html#gilligan">Mrs. Howell</a>. What’s fun here, though, is that one of the episodes mentions one of Vassar’s oldest traditions—either we had a graduate on the writing staff or they really did some research for the character!<br />

Another prominent ’90s sitcom, about a wealthy, highbrow family and their lowbrow, Queens-born nanny. Nothing too special, just Vassar as a character point for a place for elite girls.<br />

One of two scenes in the collection set far in the future. Good to know Vassar’s still around in the 23rd century! (And the 31st; see <a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2011/07/20092010.html#futurama"><i>Futurama</i></a>)<br />

An obscure attempt to copy <i>Pulp Fiction</i> but without being nearly as intelligent or funny. Our scene, though, offers a somewhat unusual take on a Vassar girl. Vassar as character point for a hard-partying grifter.<br />

This is a broad <i>Godfather</i> parody from the folks who made <i>Airplane!</i> and <i>The Naked Gun</i>. It may not be entirely clear in the clip but the film is set, as was <i>The Godfather</i>, in the late ’50s/early ’60s, and so there were no men at Vassar.<br />

The show is about the mayoral staff in New York’s City Hall. There’s not too much to say here; it’s just a character point for a smart, ambitious career woman.<br />

This is also quite well-known—Christina Applegate has faked her resume in order to get a job at a fashion house. Her Vassar status is part of what gives her entrée, and makes the boss believe she can do great work. A later line seems to imply that the boss may herself be a Vassar graduate. A character point for intelligent, determined, and capable.<br />

Thanks to Evelyn Starr for this incredible catch—those are Vassar running shorts and you can see it if you pause it at just the right point. Evelyn says she read an article where Mary McDonnell pointedly wanted the character to be a graduate, and ordered the shorts from the bookstore herself.<br />

This was <i>the</i> hot show during my time as a student—large crowds gathered in the dorm multi-purpose rooms to watch and be snarky every week. Andrea was the only character in the crew with half a brain, so Vassar seems a logical school for her to be interested in. Vassar as character point for a place for smart people.<br />

<b>Mystery Science Theater 3000<a name="mystery"></a></b><br />
This show has a curious science-fiction premise, where Earth's worst movies are screened by the bad guys for our hero and two robots. They would then make snarky comments about the movie. (And the movies are all real, Z-grade schlocky films.) Two episodes feature the crew making a Vassar joke; the first is while viewing a film called <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088380/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1" target="_blank"><i>Warrior of the Lost World</i></a>--I don’t have the strength to figure out the movie’s whole premise...especially since the Vassar joke is in one of the snarky comments, not the movie itself. Vassar sort of as character point for a place for a strong female. And the second is while watching <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058208/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0" target="_blank"><i>The Horror of Party Beach</i></a>.<br />

<b>Dolores Claiborne<a name="dolores"></a></b><br />
Another famous one, based on a Stephen King novel. King’s sons were going to Vassar around this time and Vassar starts showing up <a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2011/07/novels-plays-music-and-other-media.html#king">in his books</a> in the period—sometimes outright, sometimes more coded (Needful Things had a character named Mr. Jewett). The character point was retained for the screenplay, but this is far from the typical presentation of a Vassar girl—an angry, embittered, dark, jittery, and heavily self-medicated woman who went to Vassar on scholarship.<br />

Director Robert Altman did this 10-episode cynical satire of the Presidential primary process, going from New Hampshire to the convention in the run-up to the Bush-Dukakis election. This scene shows the boredom and blasé attitude of the press corps, and features Altman’s signature overlapping dialogue. It’s a little hard to follow what’s going on and I’ve never quite understood—or even heard the line with the Vassar joke clearly. It sounds like “bursary boy”; if anybody knows what that means, or what the actual line is, please <a href="mailto:daezer1973@gmail.com">let me know</a>.<br />

I’ve found Vassar in an awful lot of <a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2006/01/genre-index.html">genres</a>—silent, science fiction, anime, slasher, to name a few—but I never thought it’d show up in the world of hardcore porn. It’s a costume point only, which is even weirder; I’d give anything to know how that choice was made. These are two scenes here that had a sex scene between them which I eliminated—I mean, nobody’s wearing their Vassar clothes, so there’s not much point. Note, there is some sex happening in the background at one point of what I am showing here, but it’s not terribly distinct or energetic. And yes, Money is the name of the lead female character. Can’t have a porno without a terrible pun in the title.<br />

An ’80s TV movie with sitcom stars Markie Post (of <i>Night Court</i>) and Cindy Williams (of<i> Laverne & Shirley</i>). Post is a prostitute whose john is Williams’s husband. He’s killed while visiting Post, putting Williams into her orbit as they together work to solve the crime. Williams is wealthy, uptight and unaccustomed to Post’s underworld. Here, Post has dressed her as a (curiously balletic) prostitute so she’ll better blend in when they ask questions. Vassar as character point for uptight and proper.<br />

This was the prospective video the Office of Admissions sent out in 1990 and 1991 to college applicants with their acceptance letter. I’ve saved it all these years and was about to put it up...when I find that Vassar threw it on YouTube a few months back. This is truly priceless.<br />

</b>Almost everyone seems to know about these references, which now are a running joke/character point across all 28 years. My understanding is that there was a relation to the college among the writing staff, and some jokes leaked out into a few episodes. The standard joke was for Lisa as the know-it-all to want to go to Vassar, though there are some unusual characterizations of the Seven Sisters here as well -- Vassar is pegged as being for radical, non-conforming hippies.

The show’s concept is that the hero travels through time and embodies someone in that time period—so all the other characters see him as the person they know.

Each episode of this Canadian kids’ show had a collection of sketches organized around a common theme. On the episode about colleges, there were three jokes about Vassar. This was from 1984 so men could certainly attend (and it never awarded doctorates) so the jokes don’t quite work, but it’s interesting to see Vassar on a show aimed at teenagers.<br />

When the description reads, "Lovejoy is a loveable rogue and an antiques dealer with an amazing talent for spotting hidden treasures" do I even need to say it's a British series? Ian McShane's scene here, with his real-life wife, pretty much captures the show's vibe. <br />

Vassar as a place where a wealthy and young woman of the world in the 1980s might want to go. It’s basically a throwaway line here, and really could’ve been almost any liberal arts college.<br />

A TV miniseries based on the novel of the same name. The novel is set at West Point; the miniseries at the fictional U.S. Grant Military Academy, but in both, the female lead is a Vassar graduate -- the sister of a cadet who died in mysterious circumstances. Her former boyfriend, an upperclassman at the Academy, had the brother as his plebe, and suspicion falls on him. In two scenes, the boyfriend, played by a shirtless Alec Baldwin, first explores what happened with the medical officer and then in a flashback is harassing the brother in an attempt to "break him in." <br />

A TV movie later made into a series. It’s supposed to be the 1960s, but the whole production has a very ’80s vibe to it. Wealthy Joseph Bologna is caring for a group of orphans. Bologna’s girlfriend is not into the children and hopes to pack them off to a very exclusive boarding school. After the visit to the school, she peruses their brochure about the quality of their education and college placement record.<br />

This is a filmed play by Wendy Wasserstein, written originally as her Yale thesis. Focusing on six women reminiscing about their senior year at Mt. Holyoke, the play moves back to present that time in their lives. Featuring Meryl Streep and Swoosie Kurtz, this scene takes place at tea time in the dorm, which all residents are expected to participate in as part of the college’s program of teaching “Gracious Living,” a concept of demure womanly etiquette popularized by Emily Post. Not everyone is entirely buying into it. Vassar is discussed comparatively to others of the Seven Sisters. <br />

Anybody who grew up watching this show has to love its tropes. You’ll forgive my including so much of the credits, but they bring back a lot of memories. At the beginning of every episode, Roark (Ricardo Montalban) and Tattoo (Herve Villechaize) would go down to the dock and Roark would introduce the characters who would be visiting for that episode. We’ve seen Vassar students all over, and faculty (<i><a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2011/07/19641967.html#batman">Batman</a></i>); here’s the first and only appearance of Vassar staff.<br />

A low-budget TV movie co-written and starring Robert Blake as an L.A. private detective; in this early scene, he checks in with his office to learn about his next case.<br />

<a name="murder"></a><b>Murder Me, Murder You</b><br />
A TV movie featuring Stacey Keach as hard-boiled New York City cop Mickey Spillane. While investigating a missing girl—who turns out to be the daughter he never knew he had, who of course went to Vassar—he runs across a shady all-girl courier-service ring. In the end of this scene, the person he’s speaking to in this scene turns out to be the bad guy...and I do mean <i>guy</i>.<br />

<a name="elsewhere"></a><b>St. Elsewhere (5 episodes)</b><br />
I’ve put together a montage drawn from five different episodes in the 2nd and 3rd seasons. It’s a whole plot arc around Lizzie Westphall’s going to Vassar...and having a tough time of it. It’s a rather heartfelt and realistic look at freshman life from a well-regarded medical drama. There’s even a couple of nice Vassar-specific touches.<br />

If you’ve never heard of this movie, I’m not surprised. It’s a legendary mess and it deserves all the scorn it’s received and then some. I couldn’t explain what’s happening if I tried. Suffice it to say there’s hippies and gangsters and Groucho Marx is playing God and the ending credits are sung and you need a lot drugs for this to make any sense. Jackie Gleason is wealthy and is sending his hippie daughter to Vassar. Ultimately it’s another film that mocks the 1960s counterculture (see <i><a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2011/07/19551964.html#take">Take Her, She’s Mine</a></i>, for a more sedate entry of that type.)<br />

This is a fairly bloated screen musical about Gertrude Lawrence, starring Julie Andrews at the height of her career. In the climactic number, she sings “The Saga of Jenny,” a number Lawrence made famous from the Weill/Gershwin musical Lady in the Dark—which has a great lyric that references Vassar. (This song also appears in the <a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2011/07/19261944.html#lady">1944 movie</a> of <i>Lady in the Dark</i>, and the <a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2011/07/19451954.html#lady">1954 television production</a>.) The scene from the show is set in a dream sequence of a trial conducted by a circus.<br />

Vassar jokes continue unabated in ’70s sitcoms. This episode from series about a domesticated witch in suburbia is late in the run of the series. The lead, Elizabeth Montgomery, also played her character’s sister, Serena, who was a little edgier and more sexually forward. It’s a cute reference and not the usual sort of joke.<br />

Our earliest-set clip, in the 1870s, from this long-running Western series has a scene in the 19th season with a wealthy rancher giving his wife some good news about their daughter coming home from Vassar. This is especially delightful because of some choice comments about the expense. (A later scene has the rancher angry at his daughter, who he sees as turning against him, and he spurns her with some remarks about her new life at school.) For another crack about Vassar’s expense, see <a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2006/01/page-nine.html#blossom"><i>Blossom</i></a>.<br />

A retread of the <i><a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2011/07/19261944.html#day">Day at the Races</a></i> “men at Vassar” joke but with a couple of twists.

<b>The Star Wagon<a name="star"></a></b><br />
A filmed play from 1966 with Dustin Hoffman in a very early role. Orson Bean is a corporate inventor who’s created a time machine as a side project; his boss doesn’t like him working on personal projects and fires him before he can use it. Bean hires Richard Castellano (of later “Leave the gun; take the cannoli”-<i>Godfather</i> fame) to help him move it out of his lab, but the thug has other plans. And a sense of humor, apparently, in the men-at-Vassar vein.<br />

<b>Batman<a name="batman"></a></b><br />
How can you not love this one? A campy, self-knowing show, the villains were often played for comic effect. These villains weren’t regulars, but as Vassar-as-character-point references go, this is definitely the most outlandish. And interesting as it’s about Vassar <i>faculty</i> rather than students, and ACDC gets a reference to boot.<br />

<b>How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying<a name="how"></a></b><br />
The classic Frank Loesser musical has a fairly funny Vassar joke...but it didn’t make it into the movie version. Happily, the current Broadway season has a revival, so with a bootleg recording from the theater, I can finally present it here, edited into the movie. Apologies for video quality and distance at the end here—I was in the back row of the theater balcony. In the scene, Robert Morse is hoodwinking his boss into thinking that he too went to the boss’s alma mater, Old Ivy. He also pretends to be an experienced knitter, knowing that the boss is passionate about it. In the stage version, after the leads exit, two janitors hear the end of their song about Old Ivy, and then they find the knitting. A gender-role joke ensues. <br />

<b>The Phyllis Diller Show<a name="phyllis"></a></b><br />
A comedy icon of the 60s, the conceit of this show was a Beverly Hillbillies in reverse (sort of) -- they're an eccentric wealthy family but the IRS came after them for back taxes. The government decides to allow to them continue living in the mansion while paying because the nation looks up to them and it would cause a depression if they had to give up everything. So the series was a bunch of wacky schemes for raising money and staving off the government. Anyway, it's just a costume point but pegs Phyllis as a Vassar graduate.<br />

I could only find this turkey of a movie when it got the Mystery Science Theater 3000 treatment so you’ll have to excuse the snarky comments and the frame around the movie. This was a juvenile-delinquent movie, a common theme in the 1950s—with a little twist in that this one was about bad girls. In our scene, the nun who runs the reformatory Girls Town jokes with a cop about her charges.<br />

Honestly when this collection project started, I didn't expect to find Vassar in one pornographic film let alone three (see also <a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2011/07/19841987.html#nasty"><i>Nasty Lady</i></a> and <i><a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2011/07/19881990.html#taste">A Taste of Money</a></i>.

This is perhaps the most well-known reference of all, which is surprising since it’s not really that interesting a scene. (But a great movie!)

My obsessive desire for completeness here did find its limits, as I couldn’t bring myself to watch all 270 episodes. However, as she’s a secondary character, I did watch all of her scenes, and in all that material, I located (with help from RJ Dorn) only nine references: from the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th, 7th and 9th seasons. (Vassar went co-ed around the 6th season.) I suspect there are other references--unfortunately the episode files I've been able to obtain are drawn from TBS reruns that would cut scenes for a shorter time frame, and PlutoTV runs complete episodes only from season 1-7. The references here don't seem memorable enough to have made her status as a Vassar girl so well-known.<br />

The 1960s counterculture was starting to drift into movies. (See also <a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2011/07/19681976.html#skidoo"><i>Skidoo</i></a>.) This comedy is about how college students in the early ’60s worried their parents as they began to participate in the counterculture. Sandra Dee sings Hava Nagila in this one— a scene that’s pretty fascinating in its own right, but our interest here lies in this near-final scene. Jimmy Stewart, her father, is in a meeting called by his social club to kick him out because of his strange behavior over the past months. He explains through the movie that it’s all because of his trying to keep his daughter out of trouble. And in this final scene, when the club is getting ready to render its judgment, it turns out, he’s not the only one.<br />

The Rat Pack was fun in spirit but their movies were sure lousy. It makes sense for Vassar to make an appearance here, in the person of a sultry temptress who walks in and knocks Frank on his ear. A character point only, but we’re now beginning to see more Vassar girls being sexually forward.<br />

This clip isn’t such a great scene, but interesting in that it references the Daisy Chain. Debbie Reynolds is playing a man—Tony Curtis’s partner in various criminal enterprises –who died and came back in the body of a gorgeous blonde. For the most part, tedium ensues; it’s not that funny and a misfire from a good director (Vincente Minnelli). Our scene is fairly deep into the movie, where Reynolds is beginning to enjoy life as a woman, even becoming more of one, and thinks about marrying the big gambler who killed her former, male self.<br />

Another musical clip, from one of the collection’s two Elvis films. (<i><a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2011/07/19641967.html#girl">Girl Happy</a></i> is the other.) My Google-fu is usually reasonably sharp but I’m not having much success determining who wrote the song. I think it’s Marvin Moore and Bernie Wayne, but not completely sure. In any case, it’s a pretty funny lyric that rhymes Vassar, and it’s performed by a great’60s icon, Ann-Margret. The song is about how her rival for her boyfriend’s attention is his race car. <br />

A ’40s movie musical, the plot of this one’s a little nutsy and not worth describing here. Our scene proffers a slight men-at-Vassar joke, and features the movie’s lead, Danny Kaye.<br />

Here’s a great example of another major trope of the collection: Vassar as a class marker. Many of the scenes of this type in the collection aren’t terribly interesting, as the line to identify a character as a Vassar graduate isn’t used humorously. But as a character point, the women so identified are typically wealthy and elegant, well-bred, intelligent, and typically quite proper and demure. Gregory Peck’s love interest in this drama about antisemitism is a Vassar graduate from an upper-crust Prostestant New York family who through the course of the movie has trouble reconciling the prejudice she didn’t fully know she had.<br />

One of my personal favorites. The song is by Roger Edens, who contributed many songs to the great MGM musicals, with lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green. This song contains a rather dark lyric about Vassar—and they even managed to rhyme “Poughkeepsie.”<br />

A well-regarded melodrama, Linda Darnell here notes that a uniform is a great leveler – no one knows your background or social class. As we see many times through this collection, Vassar here signifies an elite, highborn person.<br />

Here’s one of the later of the Bob Hope/Bing Crosby “Road” movies—slight on plot, heavy on jokes and repartee between the two principals. Typical for comedies, Vassar’s a punchline, here implying that all the girls are worth ogling. (Bob Hope also has another Vassar joke from 1940's <a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2011/07/19261944.html#ghost"><i>The Ghost Breakers</i></a>. This one's better.)<br />

This was an unusual John Wayne film. He plays a former football star who takes a job at a seminary coaching their football team. Vassar here is used as a stand-in for “girls school” as he takes a swipe at how lousy the team is.

Here she goes to a banquet for their friend Harry’s alumni club. It’s interesting here for Vassar to be used sarcastically—taking it as understood that Vassar girls are smart. (Or maybe it’s not sarcastic and they were implying Vassar girls are stupid?)<br />

<b>1926–1944</b><br />
<br />
<b>The Great K&A Train Robbery<a name="great"></a></b><br />
The earliest clip in the collection, this silent Tom Mix-starring western introduces one of the major tropes: a joke about a man going to Vassar while it was an all-women’s school. This adds an extra layer by implying that the character in question (the villain of the piece) is somewhat less than masculine.<br />

<br />
<b>Washington Merry-Go-Round<a name="washington"></a></b><br />
A 1932 political drama, a character mentions the Vassar daisy chain in complaining that his wife’s experience of Washington is a superficial one. This is one of the few to actually reference a specific college tradition. (See <a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2011/07/19961998.html#dharma">Dharma & Greg</a> for the best of those.)<br />

<br />
<b>Flirtation Walk<a name="flirtation"></a></b><br />
A 1934 Dick Powell/Ruby Keeler musical set at West Point, the cadets in this scene are getting ready to plan the 100th Night show, a tradition for cadets in their final year. Just a quick gender-separation joke.<br /><style>.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }</style><div class="embed-container"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" mozallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/kf3c7wkt1WJssU2mk5K" webkitallowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Wise Girl<a name="wise"></a></b><br />
This scene sets this lively ’30s comedy in motion. Wealthy Miriam Hopkins discovers her niece and nephew have spurned their inheritance and run off to a bohemian lifestyle in Greenwich Village. As she’s promising her father to go and rescue them, he’s concerned she won’t be able to survive the Village. As is typical in these early days, Vassar is a punchline.<br />

<br />
<br />
<a name="cain"></a><b>Cain and Mabel</b><br />
A romantic comedy with Clark Gable and Marion Davies. The "Reilly" referenced here in the punchline about Vassar is a publicity agent who's cooking up a false romance between them, which has blossomed into reality.<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>A Day at the Races<a name="day"></a></b><br />
This is one of the great entries in the collection, and certainly quite well-known. It’s a perfect evocation of one of the major trope of the collection: a joke about men attending Vassar.<br />
<style>.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }</style><div class="embed-container"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" mozallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/k5ntQhR0UDVcaT1dc9U" webkitallowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Rosalie<a name="rosalie"></a></b><br />
The second entry from a musical, and a really fun one, with two whole song-and-dance scenes actually set at Vassar. An elephantine MGM musical, Rosalie (Eleanor Powell) is a princess from a fictional middle-European country in the U.S. to attend Vassar. She falls for Nelson Eddy, who comes to campus to win her love. As there’s a lengthy scene set at Vassar, I’ve included the whole thing, so this is very long—but it’s worth including, especially for the presentation of dorm life.<br />

<br />
<a name="ghost"></a><b>The Ghost Breakers</b><br />
The first of two Bob Hope quips (see <a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2011/07/19451954.html#road"><i>The Road to Bali</i></a><span id="goog_43665763"></span><span id="goog_43665764"></span>). The plot is...well, you can <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ghost_Breakers">read it here</a> if you're inclined but I think the clip speaks for itself.<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Too Many Girls<a name="too"></a></b><br />
The movie where Desi Arnez and Lucille Ball met (I think), a light musical comedy based on a Rodgers/Hart play. They're not a romantic couple here, but Arnez plays a great college football player who is recruited with his three pals to keep an eye on Lucille Ball while she's away at college. A number of Vassar jokes dot the first 15 minutes of the film.<br />

Thanks to Naomi Heftler '95 for finding this.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Brother Rat and a Baby<a name="brother"></a></b><br />
The second of the “Brother Rat” films about military academy cadets (now out in the workplace). In this scene, Ronald Reagan and his friends are discussing the weakness of a proposed football team for the academy. Vassar is again a punchline, here around traditional sex roles. A very similar joke can be found in <a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2011/07/19451954.html#trouble">Trouble Along the Way</a>.<br />
<style>.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }</style><div class="embed-container"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" mozallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/k23BFnFkhqP5v31fO46" webkitallowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>
Thanks to E. Kanner for the tip.<br />
<br />
<b>Shadow of the Thin Man<a name="shadow"></a></b><br />
This is the fourth in the Thin Man series, the detective series featuring Myrna Loy and William Powell as Nick and Nora—and their terrier, Asta. Effervescent dialogue and lots of comedy were highlights of the series, and our scene is no exception. Vassar is the punchline of a gender-oriented joke.<br />

<b>Ride ’em Cowboy<a name="ride"></a></b><br />
This is an Abbot & Costello western comedy. Lou Abbott is here delighted to find a new, feminine side to himself.<br />

Thanks to Anna Miller ’97 for the tip.<br />
<br />
<b>Mission to Moscow<a name="mission"></a></b><br />
Made in 1943 as a pro-Stalinist film to support our ally in the war, this is something of a travelogue and pedantic visit through the wonders of Russian culture as a group of Americans around the U.S. Ambassador interact with Russian society. A ball brings people together and they discuss some of their past. <br />
<style>.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }</style><div class="embed-container"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" mozallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/k1guS70JpikCSr2kHiR" webkitallowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><br />
<br />
<b>Lady in the Dark<a name="lady"></a></b><br />
This Kurt Weill/Ira Gershwin musical featured a song with a wonderful, dry joke about Vassar in the lyrics. It treats Vassar as a place for sexually active women—unusual to see that this early. The song itself was also used in the Julie Andrews film, <i><a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2011/07/19681976.html#star">Star!</a></i> and the 1954 TV production of <i><a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2011/07/19451954.html#lady">Lady in the Dark</a></i>. The scene is a dream sequence where the lead, Ginger Rogers, is beginning to understand the psychological underpinnings to her indecisiveness. It’s a trial scene set in a circus—and yes, it’s how the musical was really written.<br />

dark satire of superhero movies/media and the culture around it, has a
tv magazine update on one douchebaggy superhero, who fell out of favor
and ended up getting sucked into a church that sounds quite a bit like
Scientology. The church is helping him get back on his feet and has
arranged a bride for him. She turns out to be quite the power behind the
scenes and helps him back to prominence, and in a later scene, he wants
to expand their relationship in a terrifying way.

throughout the series; I included a few interiors though I'm fairly sure
those are sets (though they do look like the college, so if they're
sets they paid attention to the detail).</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxY4c2okQRPMY9PV50d7tGj7k6YBGDlXy56KbTpabRPVT_bcUzaJyVJPt9XgVSEVzNW5tHILYm_Lqviy45-Pg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br /><p></p><p></p><div><p>
<b>Minx (6 episodes)</b><a name="minx"></a><br />The lead character of the HBO Max show about the first erotic magazine aimed at women in the 1970s is a graduate. In the second season, she travels to Vassar to accept an award and ask her former professor to write the foreword for her book, and the entire plotline is <i>very </i>Vassar-centric; the Night Owls appear (and sing! and since this is set in early 70s, let's agree to assume one of them is Meryl Streep), dorms are mentioned, and much else that rings true for the sexually liberated 70s. It wasn't shot at Vassar (though there is one stock establishing shot) but this is lots of fun.I've extracted the full 2nd-season plotline here into the second video.<br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxjK9YA6Ny3V0bHiRWEzkhIKLqw8XaFFMeCp4zF7XY150HvDX-GCmiCbivyGTjhxHrLTXPPhx5ecldiC0kzHg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /></div></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dy-jCQoGXSGCqUxx-4Y4KnLsfki3f9pu76hDSe2JZIGlMh4BkLvFKKk_y5ddHbwYeexFMVF3ZcT8W-IxGSmQA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br /><div><div></div><div><p></p><b><a name="gossip"></a>Gossip Girl (2021)</b> </div><div style="text-align: left;">Some drama is happening using college applications for one character to get close to another. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxGy5OlQ_NJuUgf7GChv5C89G76DjCZfqKLq5TLJ46K3lP4ztjOKKw10iMLCUiLLhjEvyxbdKk5Z_HLsSkbkw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div></div><div style="text-align: left;"><p>

<b><a name="sharper"></a>Sharper</b><br />This is a slight spoiler so don't read much more if that would bother you. This is a slick, smart con-artist movie co-written by alum Alessandro Tanaka '96. In an early scene, our main character reveals herself to be lying when she tells a woman she went to Vassar -- she'd told her boyfriend in an earlier scene she's an NYU student. We come to learn she's conning him, and in a later scene we get a flashback to see her getting trained in her craft.<style>.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }</style><div class="embed-container"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" mozallowfullscreen="" src="https://www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/k4yF9cap5iegCnyPTTt" webkitallowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><br /><br />

<a name="city"></a><b>City on Fire</b><br /></b>
Poorly reviewed streaming series, based on the 2015 novel of the same name and produced by the same team that did the original <i><a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2011/07/20092010.html#gossip">Gossip Girl</a>. </i>Our character Regan is noted in this scene as "just down from Vassar" but she's also married, divorced, has kids, and has the life of someone older than that description, so...it's confusing. Not too much here, but always nice to see John Cameron Mitchell.<b> </b>The novel also has her as a Vassar grad.<b><br />

Email me at at <a href="mailto:daezer1973@gmail.com">daezer1973@gmail.com</a>.<br />
<br />
There are three categories of missing items:<br />
<br />
<b>1) Items I haven’t confirmed or located yet</b><br />
<br />
a) Somewhere in <i>Suddenly Susan</i>. My tip had no information about what episode it might be. I've watched all 93 episodes -- but what I saw was from a syndication run, so there's likely a few minutes cut from each episode. There are two episodes toward the end ("Susan and the Professor" and "The Reversal") that have the main character interacting with an old professor of hers from college, but the college isn't named -- unless it was cut out in the syndication edit. Should anyone have or know how to get unedited copies of these episodes, please let me know!<br />
<br />
b) The rest of the <a href="http://vassarmedia.blogspot.com/2011/07/20022003.html#late">Late Night with David Letterman</a> clip; I'm pretty sure this was a running gag from earlier in the episode, but I didn't catch it and there appears to be no complete archive. <br />
</p><p></p><p>c) Disney's 1971 tv movie <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067172/">Hacksaw</a> - I just need to get hold of a copy where I can cut the clip.<br /></p><p><br />
<b>2) What I don’t know</b><br />
Clearly, I don’t know what I don’t know! I’m sure there's more out there. Let me know if you have others—email me at <a href="mailto:daezer1973@gmail.com">daezer1973@gmail.com</a>.<br />
<a href="mailto:daezer@nyc.rr.com"><br />
</a><br />
<b>3) Tipped to but turned out not to be true</b><br />
I was pointed to these items, and watched them, but there was no reference. I suspect that that in several cases, the book on which the film was based had the reference, and my correspondent just misremembered. But if you’re sure it’s really in the film, let me know.<br />
