From Simpsons Comics #242, illustrated by Nina Matsumoto
There is an American sitcom called Difficult People and it has a character who works for PBS. In a recent episode the person was listening to viewer voicemails and one said (in a man’s voice) “I didn’t watch Sherlock so I could see Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman NOT kiss!”
This is the first time I’ve heard Sherlock’s queerbaiting directly referenced on TV.
Difficult People (Hulu) S3 E9 – Sweet Tea. Arthur is listening to the voicemails in the living room.
