What's the gays smelling cookies thing?

Homophobic BS. I believe an unfunny comedian started it and judging the wit and wisdom on DL, a poster here thought it was hilarious and it stuck much like "you in danger, gurl", "frau", "earrings, caftans" and the rest of the unfunny and long played out humor that plagues this once hilarious site.

I saw the routine on youtube and it was just typical gay bashing and the audience loved it. Gay bashing is today's comedians bread and butter after all.

Example:

Taylor Lautner

r2, photo example please.

Somebody said on here a couple years ago that somebody said you can tell a gay person because he has an expression on his face that looks like he just smelled a batch of fresh chocolate chip cookies.

It's akin to the Jewy schnoz.

it's totally true "Gay face" or that silly grin some gays always wear when looking for the camera does verily exist.

Urban dictionary: A way to say that someone looks like they are a homoxexual without saying it out loud. Because gay guys often have a look on their face like they are smelling cookies. It is from a Dane Cook standup comedy joke.

[quote]it stuck much like "you in danger, gurl", "frau", "earrings, caftans" and the rest of the unfunny and played out

No, the rest can be funny sometimes if used right. The smelling cookies thing is never funny and just makes people roll their eyes.

No it's because gay people like it when you fart in your face and they eat shit.

Little kids say "I have to make cookies" as a euphemism for potty.

Dane Cook? I didn't know it came from him. Well, I'll never say that expression again.

r9 = President of Uganda.

Gay men generally wear a more affable, curious, smiling and open expression on their faces than angry, unhappy, defensive str8 men, who are two steps away from violence at every turn.

Gays 'look like they just smelled cookies' is a joke about that. The expression often looks somewhat odd to people who are accustomed to something else from men in our culture.

It wasn't Dane Cook. It was some nobody. I think it's funny, though. It distills the essence of gayface into a nice mental picture.

So far both examples of facial expressions provided are strangely unsatisfying and don't seem to bear any resemblance to anyone smelling freshly baked cookies.

R8, I challenge you to produce one example each of when "earrings/caftans" and "frau" were funny.

.

Perfect, R16.

R16, yup, perfect example, an aunt calls it' "that pinched butt look"

Hello......

here's another

and here's another one again

Who is that, R19-R21?

R18, I take it "pinched butt look" and "pinched sphincter syndrome" are not related.

Hi...

Exhibit A

Gayface demonstrated, before & after:

The pics posted aren't "smelling cookies". Those are pics of "gay face". There is a difference isn't there? There has to be an expert on datalounge, I mean this is another great opportunity to bash gay men and 40% + of DL is closeted so...

don't forget me!

Start a Jewface thread, please.

"Post your Jewish Crook here!"

Pinched Sphincter Syndrome, as personified by soap actress Heather Tom, is a perpetually pained look.

The cookie smelling look usually refers to a certain look: gay guys who are made up/ overly tanned or plucked, with very narrow eyes. These guys seem to always have a pinched up face when bitching about others...which is often.

It would be more accurately referred to as the "Chihuahua in mid-snarl" look.

Please note, at least, that the "cookie-smelling" suggestion was not in itself homophobic, nor was it invariably negative.

A look of small and self-contained sensual pleasure is not a gay-bashing stereotype.

Most of the silliness here displays young men reputed to be gay who therefore MUST look gay, and a criminal closet case.

Fooey.

But dear, dear Michael Urie cannot help but smell cookies wherever he goes.

Gay

Frank Bruno - and he ALWAYS smiles like this:

Perfect, R32. And he knows his cookies.

It is homophobic. I'm still waiting for a Jew schnoz thread, which is not ant-Semitic in the least.

But, these pics posted are examples of gayface, not "smelling cookies". Or, is "smelling cookies" essentially gayface?

There is such a think as gayface, but "smelling cookies" is a stupid description of it. If you smell cookies, you have a delighted and surprised facial expression--gayface looks nothing like that.

It does to me

You need to get a sense of humor, r34.

Apparently you need to get yours replaced, r37, if you think "smelling cookies" makes any comic sense.

R19 Shouldn't that be "Hello, my name is Elder Archuleta"?

The smelling-cookies face is this:

- expectant/hopeful look, along with smile or neutral mouth

- eyes slightly bugged out in surprise/interest

I've seen it, just can't locate a pic to demonstrate it.

Did someone say Toll house?

Third great one, R41.

I thought it was more of a closed-mouth grin with raised eyebrows. Not the toothy examples being given.

Poor Andrew Rannells, the Cheshire cat depicted by R41.

Smiling he looks like he's in a wind tunnel at the Toll House Cookies Laboratory; closed mouth (almost never), he looks like he smells shit.

It's more of a twinkle in the eyes kind of thing to me. I agree with R35 who said the smelling cookies thing is a poor description.

Cookies...

R32 Is it wrong that I want to have sex with Frank Bruni?

R1= Janet Mock.

I think it was comedian Greg Giraldo who started the cookie-smelling thing. I kind of get it but I had to go all the way back to Dr. Smith from "Lost In Space" for a good example.

Can we consider this one?

Just google a picture of Johnny Weir and/or Chris Colfer and the phrase will make all the sense in the world.

r50, that's not it. r30, r32, and r41 have it!

"Smelling cookies" is stupid and meaningless. It's a new way of calling gays "fags" while pretending not to. Only a moron would use it. And there are plenty of them on this site.

OP, here's the comedy sketch by Dov Davidoff that started this meme. Enjoy!

Ms. Simmons is smelling cookies.

R53 = another humorless, self-righteous gay

Still at it:
