Fonzie was originally a secondary character on the show, but he became the de facto lead rather quickly, dwarfing the other characters in popularity by the mid-1970s. He would eventually receive top billing on the show once Ron Howard left in 1980. He is known globally for his catchphrases: "Whoa", and "Aaay!" while snapping his fingers, and forming a thrust-forward double thumbs up.

Character traits and development

Fonzie is a leather jacketed Italian-American mechanic, and later, part-owner of Arnold's restaurant, who lives in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in the 1950s. He is a high school dropout and is seen by the establishment characters in the show as a rebel. Despite this reputation, he is a Republican and endorses Dwight Eisenhower's 1956 presidential campaign. At a large public rally Fonzie publicly declares, "I like Ike. My bike likes Ike." His support helps Eisenhower to carry Wisconsin with 62% of the vote and crush Adlai Stevenson (who was supported by a hapless Richie Cunningham) in the general election with 457 electoral votes to 73. Leather jackets A leather jacket is a type of clothing, a jacket made of leather. ...

Dwight David Ike Eisenhower (October 14, 1890–March 28, 1969), American soldier and politician, was the 34th President of the United States (1953–1961) and supreme commander of the Allied forces in Europe during World War II, with the rank of General of the Army. ... Adlai Ewing Stevenson II (February 5, 1900 – July 14, 1965) was an American politician, noted for intellectual demeanor and advocacy of liberal causes in the Democratic party. ...

He commands tremendous respect throughout much of Milwaukee for his well-deserved reputation for fighting (in one episode, he outduelled an expert fencer; in another, he literally mangled a gangster's prosthetic iron hand with one fist), his skills as a ladies' man and mechanic, his history of romantic involvement with virtually every attractive woman in Milwaukee, and his imperturbable "cool." Opponents far larger and more dangerous-seeming than himself back down from confrontations with him. Those who do confront him never come out on top, leaving 'The Fonz" without a scrape.

Look up cool in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...

Fonzie usually exhibited an unflappable personality during times of challenge, stress, or annoyance (although as the series progressed he became more susceptible to irritation). Fonzie's "cool" occasionally manifested as the ability to make mechanical objects function with a single touch, implying that he knew so much about how they worked that he could set the works in motion via one "Technical Tap"; he frequently started and stopped the jukebox at Arnold's diner by this process. This knack eventually became almost supernatural in nature when he proved able to achieve similar effects by snapping his fingers. In one episode, he is on the phone to Al, who is by the jukebox in Arnold's Drive-In. Al holds the phone up and Fonzie's fingers are heard snapping, causing the jukebox to cease playing. At the end of the phone call Fonzie snaps his fingers again, causing the jukebox to start playing once more. In another episode, while camping in the woods with his friends, he became so annoyed by the repeated sounds of wildlife around him that he shouted "Cool It!" into the woods, silencing every animal in the vicinity. "Let's see Tarzan do that," he mused to himself as he settled into sleep. A technical tap, also known as percussive maintenance or percussion therapy, is a term used to describe hitting a device in a way to make it work correctly again — or break it completely. ... A Zodiac jukebox A jukebox is a partially automated music-playing device, usually a coin-operated machine, that can play specially selected songs from self-contained media. ... For other uses, see Tarzan (disambiguation). ...

Occasional facts about the Fonz's past emerged throughout the series: As a child, he and his mother were abandoned by his father. The only words of advice Fonz ever remembered his father giving him were "Don't wear socks in the rain." When he disappeared, he left behind a locked lockbox for his son, but not a key; the young Arthur did everything he could to open the box, finally running over it repeatedly with his tricycle. The contents? "The key, and that's it!" In the sixth season episode "Christmas Time", his father, a sailor, delivers a Christmas present for the Fonz to try to make amends (he does not realise it is his father until after he has gone). Fonzie is very resentful about the present, but at the end of the episode reads his father's letter explaining why he left, and opens it. In a later episode Fonz meets a woman who he believes is his mother. She convinces him she is not but in the end she looks at a picture of Fonz as a small child and sighs.

As a youth, the Fonz dropped out of high school and ran with at least two gangs, the Demons and the Falcons. His "redemption" began in an incident that occurred months before the series began, when he intervened in a rumble to which gang members had challenged high school student Richie Cunningham, who, to his challengers' surprise, actually showed up for the fight in spite of his obvious fear. Intervening to save Richie, Fonzie developed a respect for him from that moment on, and despite their many differences, the two developed a close friendship. While the naive Richie learned much about the ways of the world from the Fonz, Fonzie in turn learned about the value and benefits of a tight-knit family from the Cunninghams, from whom he eventually rented an attic room. Even Richie's father Howard (Mr. C. to Fonzie), a would-be pillar of the community who was initially quite concerned of his son's streetwise friend, came to regard Fonzie with respect and familial affection. Despite his seeming aloofness, Fonzie had his more whimsical traits, most notably his utter devotion to the Lone Ranger whom he meets in a later episode. While he was always confident with the women, he would still blush when Mrs. Cunningham (Mrs. C. to Fonzie), who became like a surrogate mother to him, kissed him on the cheek. Mrs. C. was the only one whom Fonzie allowed to call him by his first name, which she always did affectionately. For other uses, see Gang (disambiguation). ... For other uses, see Street Fight. ... Secondary Suite is an urban planning term for an additional separate dwelling unit on a property that would normally accommodate only one dwelling unit. ... The Lone Ranger was an early, long-running radio and television show based on characters created by George W. Trendle of Detroit, Michigan and developed by writer Fran Stryker of Buffalo, New York. ...

During the course of the show, the Fonz finished his high school diploma at night school and became an auto mechanic instructor, and later school teacher. In later seasons, he went from being a womanizer to having a single long-term girlfriend at least twice. Though he never married, he also adopted a son in the final season, completing the transformation from rebel to family man.

The Fonz started as a minor character in the first season of Happy Days, but became a regular due to his instant popularity, and eventually became one of the definitive pop culture icons of the late 1970s. Popular culture, or pop culture, is the vernacular (peoples) culture that prevails in a modern society. ... The 1970s decade refers to the years from 1970 to 1979, also called The Seventies. ...

Production details

• ABC's censors initially refused to allow Fonzie to wear a leather jacket, thinking that it made him look too much like a hoodlum. Garry Marshall got them to compromise, agreeing to allow Fonzie to wear his leather jacket when in close proximity to his motorcycle (since a leather jacket is a legitimate piece of safety equipment). To ensure that Fonzie would wear the leather jacket at all times, Marshall instructed the writers to put him near his motorcycle as often as possible, even going so far as to have him ride it into Arnold's. Even so, for some first season episodes, he wears a white jacket. Eventually, the censors relented, and Fonzie was allowed to wear the leather jacket even when not near his bike.
• One of the jackets is now in the Smithsonian Institution. (In the tenth season (1999) Simpsons episode Make Room for Lisa, the family see the jacket in the Smithsonian, prompting the Simpson siblings to ask "who the hell" Fonzie is.)
• Originally Fonzie was also to wear penny loafers. Henry Winkler replaced them with the leather boots he wore in the movie The Lords of Flatbush.
• According to Happy Days creator Garry Marshall, he originally created the character with the surname of Marsciarelli (Marshall's birth name), who was nicknamed "Mash." However, ABC insisted that he change Mash's name in order to avoid reminding viewers of the series M*A*S*H on rival network CBS. Thus "The Fonz" was born.
• Henry Winkler has reported that, even today, he still gets requests to "be the Fonz" in real life. "People expect me to be this guy who can walk into a dark room, snap my fingers, and turn on the lights. Or they want me to pound my fist on the hood of a car, and start the engine. I can't do it. I've tried! I think the silliest request I ever got was when somebody asked me to quiet the animals in a zoo."
• Fonzie was a frequent guest on Laverne and Shirley, a spin-off of the show.
• On an episode of Happy Days, Fonzie met Mork, a wacky alien. Played by Robin Williams, the Mork character proved so popular that he received his own spin-off series, Mork & Mindy.

• Fonzie was one of three Happy Days characters (along with Richie Cunningham and Ralph Malph) who starred in a Saturday morning cartoon spin-off, where the characters, along with a female character named Cupcake and a "Fonz dog" (an anthropomorphic dog named "Mr. Cool" that imitated the Fonz's thumbs-up "Aaay" catchphrase), traveled through time.
• Fonzie later appeared in the Laverne & Shirley animated series, with all of them in the army, answerable to a pig sergeant voiced by Ron Palillo.
• Fonzie's choice of motorcycle is an English Triumph even though Milwaukee where the series is set, is the home of Harley-Davidson.
• Fonzie is one of two characters, with Howard Cunningham, to appear in every episode in the Happy Days running.

Fonzie jumps over a shark while on water-skis.

• As part of an in-joke, the ABC sitcom Boy Meets World pokes fun at Happy Days, particularly in an episode where main characters Cory and Shawn go to a rival school's dance and Shawn insists that Cory "be cool" and Cory puts on a leather jacket and walks up to some girls, going, "Aaay!" with his thumbs up. Shawn quickly comes over and tells him he's doing Fonzie, not Shawn. The in-jokes of Boy Meets World being a "modern" Happy Days was a repeated theme throughout the show's run.
• In the animated television show Futurama:
  • In the episode "Bender Should Not Be Allowed On TV", one of Professor Farnsworth's inventions is the hand-held Cool-O-Meter, which measures the coolness of an object in units of "MegaFonzies".
  • In the episode "I, Roommate", Fry fixes the TV by banging on it, then he says "Aaay!" and puts his thumbs up.
• The show Family Guy has featured several references to Fonzie, including:
  • In the episode "The Son Also Draws", where Peter Griffin goes on a native vision quest, his spirit guide is The Fonz.
  • In the episode "The Father, the Son, and the Holy Fonz", Peter starts the Church of The Fonz. The church decor contains a number of objects associated to Fonzie and the rituals incorporate his catchphrases.
  • In the episode "Let's Go to the Hop", Peter attempts to turn on a jukebox by slamming it with his fist. Unlike The Fonz, though, his fist breaks the glass and he is badly lacerated.
  • In the episode "The Father, the Son, and the Holy Fonz", there is a cutaway joke, where Peter Griffin mentions that Fonzie is capable of fixing anything. Mr. C is standing next to his bed, with Mrs. C in the bed, and he confides in the Fonz, "Arthur, I wanted to pleasure my wife for our anniversary, but as you know, I suffer from erectile dysfunction." Fonzie turns around, and hits Mr. C's groin, akin to how he hits the jukebox. In reply, Mr. C smiles and says, "Hey, it worked!" Mrs. C says, "Thank you, Arthur.", to which the Fonz replies with his traditional "Aaay!" thumbs-up gesture.
• In the sitcom That 70's Show (which has a number of parallels with Happy Days):
  • In the episode "I Love Cake", Michael Kelso dons a new leather jacket, and everyone mocks him for dressing like the Fonz. Steven Hyde and Laurie Forman make fun of him by saying Fonzie's legendary line, "Aaaay!" Eric Forman asks when Fonzie moved to town, and Fez taunts him with the line "A gang of toughs has taken over Arnold's. Help us, Fonzie; you're our only hope!" (This is additionally a reference to Princess Leia's line from Star Wars.)
  • In the episode "Holy Crap", Pastor Dave compares Fonzie to Jesus. "Fonzie says 'Aaay', and Jesus says 'Aaay-men!'.
  • In the episode "Jackie Says Cheese", Fez imagines himself jumping over a shark on water skis. In his fantasy, people call him "The Fez". When the dream ends, however, Fez remarks that he never really watched the show after that episode.

• In an episode of The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, Arwin has to fix a fan, but he uses the wrong switch - a "Cunningham" - instead of the right switch, - a "Fonzarelli".
• In the TV show The Simpsons:
  • In the episode "Homer the Moe", Homer Simpson attempts to fix Moe Szyslak's jukebox (when Moe allows Homer to run the bar while he goes back to bartending college) by punching the jukebox in a "Fonzie-ish" fashion. Unfortunately, he smashes through the glass and receives a "hemorrhage-a-mundo". When asked by a fellow barfly if he was okay, Homer responded "Aaay", snaps his fingers (spraying blood everywhere), displays two thumbs-ups and faints, presumably from blood loss.
  • In the episode Papa's Got a Brand New Badge, the elementary school installs air conditioning during a heat wave in order to attract students. The plot works so well that Mrs. Krabappel comments that "(she's) seeing students (she) hasn't seen in years". The next shot shows a number of famous TV show school drop-outs entering the school, including Fonzie.
  • In yet another episode, the Simpson family visits a Smithsonian traveling exhibit, and see Fonzie's jacket, which is the single most heavily-protected artifact in the museum (less important and less protected artifacts in the museum include the Bill of Rights).
  • In The Simpsons episode "The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show", the cartoon dog Poochie sings a rap song including the line "I'm half Joe Camel and a third Fonzarelli".
  • Frequently, characters—both recurring and guest—address to Homer and Marge as "Mr. S" and "Mrs. S," much like how Fonzie and other teenagers addressed Howard and Marion Cunningham as "Mr. C" and "Mrs. C," respectively. Episodes where this happen include "The Otto Show", "The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show", and "Take My Wife, Sleaze" (the latter an episode where Winkler was a guest voice).

• In the My Own Personal Jesus episode of Scrubs, J.D. fantasizes about doctors with miracle cures. In the fantasy, he walks in wearing a leather jacket and hits a comatose patient in the chest, causing a full recovery; this of course mimics Fonzie's ability to work the jukebox, then clicking his fingers, an attractive nurse appears who he kisses.

• Henry Winkler played Barry Zuckerkorn on Arrested Development (a show executive produced by Ron Howard). In the episode "Altar Egos", Barry briefly does the Fonz pose in a bathroom mirror. Another reference occurs in the episode "Motherboy XXX", in which Barry jumps over a shark.

• In the Season 1 episode of Newsradio, "Smoking", Dave Nelson says "Thanks Fonzie" in response to Joe fixing his laptop by hitting the bottom of it.
• In the South Park episode "City on the Edge of Forever", the kids reminisce falsely about previous experiences in flashbacks.

• Fonzie is spoofed in the British comedy series Bo' Selecta!. Appearing in a Series 3 sketch entitled Crappy Days, Fonzie (played by Craig Phillips) is depicted, along with the rest of the Cunninghams, as suffering from extremely noisy and painfully severe incontinence, and wears a large diaper which he soils constantly. On the "Bo' Hind the Scenes" DVD featurette, a diapered Phillips can be seen coming out of his dressing room, claiming "The Fonz has just had a cool crap!"
• In the British comedy series End of Part One, Happy Days was parodied as a long running series called 'Slick American Goo Days' where all the characters were geriatric, Fonzie was represented by a character called 'Poncey' who was only able to say 'Eyyyy!' and who couldn't stand up without a nurse's support.
• In a deleted scene from The Channel Chasers movie of The Fairly OddParents, Timmy actually jumps a shark with Fonzie.
