I was surprised to hear that Daily Show had done this spoof on the Popeye Commercial. What they didn’t know was that the original brief for the spot was that Popeye and Bluto should be gay and in love. But the plan was suddenly changed near the end of the production and I was asked to try and ‘un-gay’ them both. Shots were cut and others redesigned. However, it seems that this sort of thing is a hard thing to hide.
