Can anyone outweird my secret crush?!

I have developed an inexplicable crush on Uncle Fester.
I've had a few odd crushes over the years but this one is by far the oddest.
Does anyone else get weird crushes for absolutely no good reason?

Has no one mentioned Robin Hood (the Disney cartoon fox)? I know I'm not alone...

Between Robin Hood and Maid Marian, Disney must have spawned an entire generation of furries.

Fatima Whitbread, I'm a straight female.
I dunno, there's just something about her

Gomez is where it’s at 😂

Raoul Julia was a god amongst men. Gomez was a hero.

Uncle Fester is weird, but not the worst I have ever heard.

I had a mate who confessed to a sex dream about Michael Gove. Now THAT is beyond the pale.

Bandit, Bluey's Dad. He's the epitome of my perfect man 👨 ❤️

After watching the Pass the Parcel episode, I have to say Lucky's dad 😂

Oh, I have a giant crush on Philip Mould, her comply dapper co-presenter in Fake or Fortune. I see the Fiona crush, though. She has a sort of crisp, head-girlish appeal…

In the 90s I had a weird thing for Russ Abbott (old enough to be my dad and maybe grandad) and Karl Howman who played Jacko in Brush strokes (just has to Google that to remind myself of his name). Oh, and John Nettles in the Bergerac era but I feel that is less weird.

I like dara O’Brien he’s similar to uncle fester

Yes, I like Dara too! I think it stems from my childhood crush on Grant Mitchell and this is the menopausal madness stage 😂

Harry Styles.

Not particularly weird I just couldn’t resist blurting it out any longer …

CharlesPetrescu · 16/05/2025 19:33

My crush on Jeremy Paxman back in the day seems relatively normal now. 😂

He’s very attractive in the flesh — and enormously tall. Which kind of balances his big, bald conk, maybe just because it’s so far away when you’re five foot five..?

Paxo was very, very hot.

I once chickened out of making an only slightly higher bid to win dinner with Jay Rayner.

It is my life’s biggest regret.

20 quid more and I could have indulged my crush in person.

I like Jay too.

As for Tories, I rather like Philip Hammond. He’s 20 years older than me. And a Tory. But still

Scooby2024 · 16/05/2025 19:37

Op this thread really made me laugh 😂 personally can not see the attraction with uncle fester but whatever floats your boat 😅

Harry Styles.

I’m reading all these out to DH and DS(age 26) and we are dying laughing at some s

But this one? “Mum, there is not one but TWO films that are thinly disguised middle aged women fantasies about Harry Styles. If you are an actual demographic, there’s nothing fringe about it”

😂😂😂😂😂

I was çoming on to say this. He is hot!

ByCalmLimeHiker · 16/05/2025 19:46

I feel bad saying he’s weird but Andy Day.

It’s not that I think it’s unusual to find him attractive, I have just never found kids tv presenters attractive before because they’re so over the top for me. But Andy….

Also the fox from Robin Hood but I think that’s a common one.

bakingmad123 · 16/05/2025 19:48

Robin Hood? …(as in the Disney fox version…) 🙈🙈

I once had an extreme sex dream about Dominic Raab. I literally saw stars afterwards.

That really made me chortle 😂😂😂😂

Who is Uncle Fester?

BlueEyedBogWitch · 16/05/2025 19:53

Yes to Robin Hood, and also the Foxy Bingo fox. I’d do Foghorn Leghorn as well.
