Luke Skyhook


Did I hear the girl at the party say she'd made out with Luke Skyhook (Phil's alter ego transfer student persona) at a party once? I know Phil is different but did he make out with a teenager?

reply

I took it that she was confused or bragging, because she was referring to a time before that night - but it added to the momentum moving people to Luke's party.

reply

I don't think Phil made out with a teenage. I think the girl was making up stories to sound cool.

reply

^^This, obviously.







WE GOT MOVIE SIIIIIGN!

Yes. Of course she was making it up. I frankly don't get how anyone could have been confused by that. I really don't.

reply

Possibly the same people that still don't "get" the couch scenes.

The girl might have been confused or mistaken if she had made out with a (transfer or exchange) student at some other time and thought that was who was in the costume. The kids never saw Phil without the chipmunk head, did they?

At the time she said that line, she and the other cool kids hadn't seen Phil with the chipmunk head. There was no confusion. She made it up to sound cool because she heard Haley talking about this cool kid named Rod (not Luke) Skyhook. It was such a simple joke, I don't understand why there is so much confusion about it.

I'm not confused, I'm just considering the possibility that the girl might have previously made out with someone whose name she can't remember. Maybe she had been given some Jagermeister. I don't have a recording to look at, but I thought there was a scene with Phil, in the full costume, dancing and singing reggae.

OK, I'll take this a little further. There are two groups of kids involved in this:

1. The Cool Kids. They were at Sarah's party. These are the kids Haley was trying to lure to Luke's party. (This group includes Manny even though he isn't cool.)

2. The Dorks. They were at Luke's party the whole time.

The unnamed girl who is the subject of this thread was one of the Cool Kids. When she said that she had "made out" with Rod Skyhook, the Cool Kids were still at Sarah's party. They were leaving to go to Luke's party, but they hadn't gotten there yet.

Earlier, Phil had been performing as Rod, but that was at Luke's party, so, at that point, only The Dorks had seen him.

reply

I see now about Phil. But the girl might have made out with someone who she thought might have been the person she heard named. I'm trying to give her a little credit for possibly being confused and not just lying.

reply

Why? It's a simple joke. No defense of a one-off character's morality is needed here.

No, just no.

reply

Exactly. She was trying to sound cool. Simple as that. We all have seen variations of this through the yrs.

reply

^Yes this, Rod Skyhook didn't even exist until that one night so where could that girl have made out with him?

reply

Thanks for the replies. I understood the Skyhook persona to be one Phil had used before.

reply

I think that since he managed to be a sensation at the party, the girl was lying for the sake of a boast. You see his smart daughter accepting the situation without question, indication that she never once thought the girl had made out with her dad.

I'd've gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for you meddling kids.
