As in the original Happy Days use of water-ski jumping over a shark - out of place in the situation of the comedy, and a sign they'd run out of decent ideas for it. And it'd have to go back to being "OK" to then do it again. You might apply it to Sinema, but Taylor Greene was never even "OK" in the first place. She's always been an awful excuse for a human, from the moment she became known.

I mean, come on: how did Hawaii fit into the general timeline of Happy Days?

The shark jump actually had a purpose: Henry Winkler, in real life, is a very fine water skier. He wanted to show it off on the program, so they invented the shark jumping sequence.

Does she realize she is a U.S. congresswoman? I know there is a dress code for the senators and representatives when they are on the floor and I'm sure her outfits don't comply. The lack of respect for the institution and the position they hold drives me nuts.
