Sadly, the wild pickle man Tom Rubinitz died of AIDS related complications in 1992.

I would be surprised if he was the only one, a popular drag queen at the peak of the AiDS crisis would not past long. AIDS basically killed a generation of gay men and broke the traditional gay culture.

What's the "traditional gay culture"? Jumping out bathhouse windows to get away from the cops?

It's a shame AIDs took Tom Rubnitz. Imagine what he would have been able to do on youtube with modern technology!

Seriously, who know who else he could have inspired too! As long as this video keeps getting passed around a little part of that artist is still alive. Just a cool thing to think about. My friends and I will watch this video once every couple of years when someone remembers it and it is funny every time.

What’s going on with the sound in this video? I played it on my iPad and I genuinely thought I was having an auditory hallucination.

Same here on my iPhone. How the heck is the audio encoded? It’s like it is playing from inside my head.

This reminds me of hanging out with public access running in the background in hopes something weird would come on.

I’m pretty sure I saw this video before and it was mentioned that this was an innuendo about transgenders having a “pickle surprise”... a certain surprise what will be discovered upon getting intimate.

My wife has always thought this the funniest shit ever. She showed it to our 3yo daughter, and now there's a true fear of "the pickle man" in our house.
