-->Straight Guy: (''{{Corpsing}}'')

''Queer Eye'' was a makeover reality series that ran from 2003 to 2007, called ''Queer Eye for the Straight Guy'' in its first two seasons. The format involved a subject -- usually a straight guy, as implied by the original title -- getting an all-around aesthetic upgrade from five gay men known as the "Fab Five":

It fueled an (American) CyclicNationalFascination over a heavily sterotypied "gay culture".

* BaldOfAwesome: The Five convince one guy to get rid of his toupee and believe in this trope. A police officer and a foster father (of nine children!) are already rocking this trope when the boys show up.

* {{Transgender}}: One show featured a trans man subject for a makeover. It veered into VerySpecialEpisode territory as it had the Five deliver a message on acceptance in place of the usual {{tag}}.

* DoubleEntendre: A staple of the show's humor, sometimes reaching red-alert levels of GettingCrapPastTheRadar. For instance, here's Carson instructing a client on putting in a contact lens:

* BigApplesauce: Almost everything happens in New York City; in the early episodes even going to Long Island is seen almost as foreign trek. In later seasons they do visit a few other cities, however. Averted in the reboot, which is set in Georgia.
* CampGay: All five of them are to some degree, but especially Carson and Thom. Jonathan Van Ness in the reboot is absolutely ''flaming.''

''Queer Eye'' was a makeover reality series that ran from 2003 to 2007, called ''Queer Eye for the Straight Guy'' in its first two seasons. The format involved a subject -- usually a straight guy, as implied by the original title -- getting an all-around aesthetic upgrade from five gay men known as the "Fab Five": Carson Kressley (fashion), Thom Filicia (interior decorating), Ted Allen (food and wine), Kyan Douglas (hair and grooming), and Jai Rodriguez (culture, which usually means things self-presentation and selecting appropriate gifts). This is all geared toward a significant event planned for the end of the show, such as a family reunion, marriage proposal, career-related gathering, engagement party, or sometimes just a regular old party. The Five indulge in a lot of catty remarks and CampGay humor along the way, which kept the show entertaining but also led to accusations of gay {{Modern Minstrelsy}} from some quarters. Nonetheless the show was well received by much of the gay press and led to a tie-in book, a hit soundtrack album and a short-lived SpinOff series, ''Queer Eye for the Straight Girl.''

* {{Transgender}}: One show featured a female-to-male subject for a makeover. It veered into VerySpecialEpisode territory as it had the Five deliver a message on acceptance in place of the usual {{tag}}.
