Gay Duo: Queen of Terror / 1996 [TV animation]
Episode 2 of The Ambiguously Gay Duo,
subtitled “Queen of Terror” concerns an abbreviated visit to the evil Queen
Serena’s planetoid Garassas where she hopes to seduce to the male duo through
her feminine wiles. The episode was broadcast on November 2, 1996.
Bighead warns Serena that he perceives the duo as being gay, and so too
do some of her snaggle-toothed assistants agree, but she is certain of her
seductive charms, and is more than a little disturbed by Bighead’s obsessions
with their gay sexuality.
The
two, in their penis-shaped Duocar, once more interrupt their workout sessions
to speed off to protect Metroville and the universe in general, the
Commissioner declaring that Ace and Gary “are on it,” the skeptical policeman sniggering
“When they’re not on each other.”
Gary wonders, in all innocence, where they are going, with Ace responding,
“To a dark hole, fellow friend,” and off they go to another adventure.
Queen Serena is still busy discussing Bighead’s obsession about the duo’s
gayness; he insists he’s not obsessed, but cannot resist mentioning that they
were on the high school diving team!
Arriving at two globular rocks, the penis-shaped car enters into Serena’s world.

Beating off their enemies, Ace once more awards Gary a nice pat on the
butt, declaring the planet is safe once more. Even Serena realizes she’s not
about to “get anywhere with them,” demanding that Bighead give it a try.
He
quickly surrounds them with an endless series of “batmen,” as Gary mounts Ace
and they fly through space, Ace sending out powerful rays through his eyes. As usual,
the duo wonders what everyone is looking at, to which all the villains unanimously
declare, “Nothing!” as the duo flies on. Will they survive? Of course, you have
to tune in to the next adventure to discover if they have survived.
