The Wire - Bill Rawls is Gay!

[baruavice]

Shheeeeeeeeeeeiiiit

[mjonas10]

Maybe he was just undercover..

with another man lololol

[tacosaucemafia]

Wht the fuck is up with all these assholes on this page? how ironic it's on a video of a guy who's in the closet. bunch of homos on here.

[RDoubt96]

Speaking of faggotry, did anyone ever notice the gay undertones in Herc and Carver's relationship?

[fheisk]

JUST saw this scene and it blew my fucking mind

[sculldawg]

Did any of you know that Larry (Brother Mouzane's right hand man) is actually the real D'andre McCullagh that HBO's The Corner is about.  Well now you do! :-)

[didgist]

Wow haters, I work from home. I've gone through plenty of series, moves, you name it. I don't like television. The average american watches 150 hours of television in a month, I watch 0. I purchase DVDs of good shows and watch them repeatedly. I also got paid for every second that I watched them.

[stokelycalm]

@didgist you dont get paid to watch the show..stop bullshittin

[tacosaucemafia]

@stokelycalm  you don't get paid to have dual accounts and talk bull shit you fat slob.

[JSasRays]

@didgist yeah bullshit kiddo. the wire=television. doesnt matter if its a dvd, you watch it on the fucking television.

[didgist]

Amazed. I have watched this show all the way through at least 10 times and I never noticed it. That's why this is the greatest show ever made, you could watch it and watch it and still find things you have missed. There is even a wiki for this show (along with almost everything else but still.)

[redsox95100]

@didgist you have watched the entire show "at least 10 times" all the way through? I find that EXTREMELY hard to believe. I also find it hard to believe that you watched it that many times and didn't notice once. It shows his face for a good couple seconds, don't know how you missed it that much.

[tacosaucemafia]

@redsox95100 you sound like douchebag

[kindahottish]

@didgist The wire has 60 episodes each around an hour long. That is 3600 minutes, if you have watched the wire "at least" 10 times that is approx 36000 minutes or 25 days. Almost a full month of your life. Not only is this extremely sad and obsessive, but there is no possible way that you have only JUST noticed Rawls in the gay bar. The Wire is probably the greatest TV show of all time, but stop being such a little fucking bullshitter.

[tacosaucemafia]

@kindahottish How about you shut the fuck and leave the guy alone, sad and obsessive gtfo!!!!!!!!!! you're on a wire video you fucking piece of shit! let people do what they want.

[bgstv10001]

thats the scene when he was looking for omar boyfriend

[sharpshooter617]

this parts mad suspect...if u dnt catch hes theres in this one part theres never any other signs of his homoness

[devilrobbie25]

how come nothing ever came of this storyline..i waas hoping mcnulty would find out

[h4z]

lol'd so hard when i saw that

[mseales]

They really blew it not making a Rawls/Omar romantic subplot in season 4!

[morgantown1]

hahaha I've watched the entire series twice and never noticed that

[diplomats101]

COCKSUCKER RAWLS

[marsamgod73]

Wonder if the guy on the pool table ever plays snooker and screws back for the brown?

[tafari127]

It's a credit to the show and its writing that a throwaway scene like this ends up being so memorable.

[leech1191]

Im sure there's a scene in the toilets at the police hq where 'rawls is a cocksucker' is written on the wall aswell lol

[veldross1]

No wonder he always such a dick, it comes naturally since hes in such common proximity of them.

[yungyacht]

Wow i never saw this scene, didnt know the major liked it in the old brown hole... eeeeek

[eirikwegga]

In one of the DVD extras, the actor who played Rawls said that he intepreted Rawls as having a deep self-loathing due to his sexuality and that was why the character was such an asshole.

[eirikwegga]

Quote from Davis Simon, 2/2: "...There was something very compelling and real about just acknowledging that but not making it into grist for a storyline that didn't add anything to our portrayal of Rawls. We were always laying pipe that could be picked up later. It doesn't mean that you should pick it up."

[eirikwegga]

Quote from Davis Simon, 1/2: "We could have cannibalized Rawls' moment in the gay bar and advanced that moment, but I'm not sure we would have created any more theme, and on some level it was very satisfying just to grant the notion of a closeted gay man's sexuality a moment on screen and then move on. (TBC)

[Netjack]

I was hoping this would get revealed to everyone later on but it didn't.

[shegwin]

@Netjack well there is a bathroom scene, pretty sure the one where bubbles is trying to hang himself when revealing that he killed that young kid whose name i forget. Jay landsman is in the washroom and writing on the wall says 'Rawls sucks dick' or 'Rawls likes cock' or somethin like that. Anyways i think its implied that everyone knows he does.

[DavKellar]

Great show, just too much faggotry.

[shanebrennan0123]

I nearly pissed myself laughing when I saw this. 

[shitdick745]

the first time i seen this, i thought the writers copy off the sopranos vito but either way it is a funny scene lmao

[FrostyLeSnowHomme]

@shitdick745 Um, this episode aired before the episode of The Sopranos where Vito is revealed to be gay.

[shitdick745]

@FrostyLeSnowHomme oh i wasnt sure which was first so maybe sopranos copy off this ? idk...

[CheeseTrix13337]

could also be a fag stag but i doubt it

[CheeseTrix13337]

maybe rawls is married to a guy? i'm happy for him. i saw this and was like yeah

[SclafaniBagni]

just shit my pants watching this, LMAO

[ThisGuyUnderMeIsGay]

"Here are two fingers McNulty. One is going up your narrow irish ass. And one is going in your fucking eye"

[myfacesp]

10,000th viewer

[thegov08]

Hey its the real Deandre Mccullogh!

[TheWarrior2Game7]

Rawls has a crush on McNulty, but instead puts on a front and acts all hard.  LOL.

[Nogli]

@TheWarrior2Game7 When he sticks his middle fingers up in the first episode... "This one over here is going up your narrow fucking Irish ass". He wasn't joking.

[CheeseTrix13337]

@TheWarrior2Game7 somehow i doubt that too. rawls just doesn't like him. their personalities are different. rawls is practical but an ass. mcnulty tries to play the hero but sometimes still comes off as an ass

[creamedcornallday]

"Rawls sucks cock". LOL back in the day I wrote that in a Wendys bathroom just for the hell of it. I was so proud.

[flashytimmy]

why u coming up behind me ROFL

[lsimmons24]

I remember this!!!!! That shyt fucked me up. No wonder he was such an asshole. LOL. Pun intended.

[RightWingHunter666]

LMAO ... i love how subtle they do this. If you blink you wont even notice it.

[somedudestolemyname]

thankfully police commissioners/chiefs are not popular

OR ELSE DA MEDIA WOULD HAVE HIS AZZ NIGGA NIGGA NIGGA NIGGA

[dRiskYn]

the wire videos got the best comments on youtube

whether its reflected or funny

[maxjordan90]

This really explains a lot. Rawls hates McNulty because he is secretly in love with him.

[KojachBaumherr]

@maxjordan90 hahaha mcnultys so damn conceited thats probably what he believes

[tommylocs]

didnt even notice this till my second time watching ...... and if you havent watched em all twice, i definitely recommend it, you notice a lot more stuff

[thestranger4812]

I'm kinda glad they never went through with this. Every other show would've. He's a closeted homosexual, and I think not following up on it indicates that it's not really important. And it isn't.

[CheeseTrix13337]

@thestranger4812 somehow i don't think he's closeted but i get your point. closeted or not it's not a big deal

[12reps]

maybe he enjoyed the music? maybe he needed a drink? or maybe he just wanted to suck cock:D

[billma12345]

lamar, your homosexuality is so visceral

[jmoneymanz2]

I must ov rewound that clip 100 times when i first saw it

[SpectralViral]

he is suggested to be homo...

[maxjordan90]

I had to rewind this when I first saw it because my jaw was on the floor.

[funkmike]

Maybe Rawls is there just because he digs the music...

[spankybighead]

@funkmike ahahahahahahahaha

[CheeseTrix13337]

@funkmike lol doubt it

[fuckamericanidiot]

@funkmike having a quiet drink with a man in a gay bar doesn't strike you as odd at all?

[vvasim]

"man why the fuck u coming behind me???" nigga u in a fucen gaybar, why in that bar in the first place homie

[goceltics339]

@vvasim he was sent in there to look for omar, did you even watch the show.

[vvasim]

@goceltics339 just an expression homie, no need 2 spit fire @ me, s'all good

[goceltics339]

@vvasim hahaha alrite

[jayo2k]

@vvasim Looking for Omar boyfriend Dante

[MrFascisthunter]

I love they show that Rawls is gay. Its done so under the radar. If you turn your head for a second you never recognize him.

[ojonesjr]

So I guess "he got alotta heart for a cocksucka"

[shooshooshooshooter]

I swear I couldn't stop laughing after I saw this. Just one of THE biggest shockers ever. And then the nonchalant "I'm a badass queer" look on his face just tops it all off. Rawls = WIN

[CheeseTrix13337]

@shooshooshooshooter i cheered

[loungepanda]

Oh my ..

[sweenyadam]

WHOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAA! Rawl's in a gay bar?! Geez, he's one tough queer then...

[CheeseTrix13337]

@sweenyadam he's a bear :)

[slaterson22]

How did I miss that part when i was watching the series?!?!?!?!

[Reqrezentin]

This was among the biggest surprises along with Kenard killing Omar.

[chicoatomico]

@Reqrezentin DUDE, SPOILER ALERT!!! asshole now I know how Omar dies

[Reqrezentin]

@chicoatomico

Sorry

[ThisGuyUnderMeIsGay]

@chicoatomico Fuckin a-hole. Omar dies? WTF

[chicoatomico]

@ThisGuyUnderMeIsGay reqrezentin told that !

[TubeGuest5178]

where's rawls at???

[krakenbwool04]

Very cool.

[gauchebag]

what happened to no shirt no shoes no service

[AspergerUprising]

Greatest WTF moment of all time.

[TubeGuest5178]

@AspergerUprising rofl! tell me about it!

[dvrtsk71]
