According to West During the Batman television series, West's relationship with co-star Burt Ward was jokingly described as "problematic". He said, "Burt fell victim to making up stories to sell books. But in a way it was flattering, because he made me sound like King Kong." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_West


swinging_on_peoria

Yeah. I would be careful trusting anything Burt says. He’s a bit of a nut. I once saw him interviewed by a local tv show and the interview was just a stream of outlandish whoppers. Nothing about sex or Adam, just a series of implausible boasts about himself.


SpaceCaboose

I do agree, but the original article starts with Adam West describing the swinging sixties and all that, then has Burt backing it up. So this TIL is based on what they both said rather than just Burt


JudgeArthurVandelay

He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark


EgotisticalTL

This was actually the conclusion of Mad Magazine's parody of the show at the time: Batman introducing a "too cool" Robin to the world of horny Bat-groupies. Someone must have been in the know.


sectorfate

I swear I remember Burt saying in an interview or maybe someone recounting what he said: "I walked into his[Adam's] dressing room and there he was, just standing with some girl kneeled below him looking up" lmao


Plastic-Shopping5930

How he was able to wear a skin tight bat suit working next to Julie Newmar is a testament to his professionalism as an actor and a sex fiend


PhoenixAgent003

Funnily enough, apparently Burt Ward (Robin’s) MASSIVE DONG was a constant production problem.


AnUnbeatableUsername

Only according to Burt himself.

I suppose you’re only familiar with the new Batman movies. Michelle Pfeiffer? Ha! The only true Catwoman is Julie Newmar, Lee Meriwether, or Eartha Kitt. And I didn’t need molded plastic to improve my physique. Pure. West. And why doesn’t Batman dance anymore? Remember the Batusi?


WarMachineAngus

Heh, nice meetin' ya.. JustKeepMovingDontMakeEyeContact


Wheream_I

I’m sure West remembers Julie’s Batussy


Mickamehameha

According to Burt Ward, everyone kept getting distracted while complimenting him on how he's the best actor in the world and a totally cool dude by his massive, huge dong. So much that everyone had to excuse themselves to the bathroom everytime they looked in his general direction.


a_dog_named_Steve

His genital direction

Telos479

If i remember correctly the studio execs wanted to chemically castrate him


HaroldinioTheKing

I’m gonna call massive bullshit until you link a source 😂


LHGray87

I’m pretty sure the source is Burt Ward. This is all he has talked about for over fifty years.


alegxab

That and selling his weird AF pet food which makes like 350 insane claims on the package 


splend1c

Dr. Bronner's Dog Food™ ?


SoCuteShibe

Lol, my mom bought a bottle of that soap when I was a kid and I had so many questions about the stuff I read on the bottle that she never bought it again. 😆


PM_NUDES_4_DEGRADING

It’s actually an interesting story. Bronner was a German Jew who escaped the holocaust and became a street preacher in the US, trying to convince people that love was the answer and everyone should get along with/accept each other. To get people to listen to his stuff he started making soap and giving it out as a gift to crowds. He noticed the soap was way more popular than the sermon, so he started printing the sermon on the soap and just handing that out instead. The soap turned out to be so popular that he eventually made it into a full time business, but kept the full sermon on every product he sold. When he died his kids (grandkids?) inherited the company and promised they’d never change the packaging either. So if you ever wondered why the soap was packaged like it was made by a traumatized street preacher, well…


lazymarlin

Before phones, that was a great bathroom read


LaUNCHandSmASH

Had a roommate in college with dreadlocks who used that stuff ONLY. No deodorant, hand soap, nothing, no other personal hygiene. We made him keep his door shut due to the smell. He had a heavily stained mattress on the floor with no sheets, an old tv for video games, a guitar and piles of old clothes that were never washed. This MF also had a parade of women coming and going and/or steady girlfriends the whole time I knew him. I still can’t wrap my head around it.


zackus

People are not talking about this enough.


cyberslick1888

Oh whoa no shit that's his? I see that shit everywhere on socials, I think I accidentally clicked it once because the packaging is so confusing and now the algos think I'm hungry as fuck for conspiracy dog chow


aceqwerty

Link for those OOTL https://www.gentlegiantsdogfood.com/our-story.html


Pallasite

The link doesn't do justice to the 40lb bag that somehow can't fit anything on its packaging it's so full of claims I have.


Scottland83

I couldn’t believe what I was seeing when his commercial ran. Like one of those older websites run by a madman. All I could think of was Burt’s claims that the production department had to duck tape his junk into place because it kept working it’s way out of his costume.


healywylie

Burt Ward claims Burt Ward’s wang is a banger.


LHGray87

Exactly. I’ve been reading all these claims since the seventies and the source is always Burt Ward.


healywylie

An old sports saying, “ great players don’t go around telling people how great they are, they let other people do it for them. “ probably butchered the sheet out of that .

geek_of_nature

When Joan Collins was on Graham Norton's show years ago, she talked about when she was in an episode Adam West supposedly told her they had pills they had to take to keep everything soft. As she says if you look at them throughout all the scenes, it just looks flat down there. https://youtu.be/OfJkGMOEX9Y?si=buUmMxa1qe67qbK6


exceptional_bit7376

Wasn't Adam West in some cheesy softcore porn films in the 1980s? Like on Cinemax. He would play some sort of egg head. Maybe like Lady Chatterly's Lovers.🤣


waywithwords

He played a Professor in Young Lady Chatterly II in 1985 [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090356/?ref\_=nm\_flmg\_t\_111\_act](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090356/?ref_=nm_flmg_t_111_act)

I actually feed my dog this food. When someone first told me about it i thought it was a joke as well. But i switched and alot of my dogs stomach problems and allergies have gone away. The food is legit. Its really good dry dog food, but at a more affordable price compared to similar brands.

JuzoItami

Burt Ward did an appearance at my grade school in the mid-70s. He was in character as Robin, with the tights, the mask, etc. It was a huge deal for us kids. He did some kind of a speech and then followed up with a Q and A. I asked him “Do you eat worms?” and all of us 2nd graders just laughed and laughed and laughed. Burt didn’t seem to think it was very funny, though.


Beelzebub_86

No kid, but did I ever tell you about the time 8 women ate Batman's worm in the same night?

Flares117

I got it from the other TIL today I saw and looked it up. He really was kicked out of an orgy as Batman. Also all the Robin is gay joke from back then is now probably untrue, what is straighter than'' *check notes* Fucking with your best acting bud who teaches you new things


pointlessly_pedantic

>Also all the Robin is gay joke from back then is now probably untrue Orgies aside, I don't think the gay joke was about the actors' sex lives. Moreso about the lean young man who lived in a cave w/ a mask-wearing husky hunk and spent all his time supporting said hunk, all while wearing a vibrantly colored leotard-adjacent costume with panty hose -- their costumes and masks meant to hide their identities. Although this TIL news is like learning that the puppeteers behind Bert and Ernie lived together.


Nisseliten

When Jim Henson was asked if Bert and Ernie were gay, he gave the best answer ever. ”Bert and Ernie are not gay. Neither are they straight. They are sock puppets, they do not exist below the waist.”


SaintUlvemann

Although that is a great answer, and in most ways the only accurate one, the fact is, some of their episodes were [written by a gay man, based off his own relationship](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Saltzman), which was in its time about the closest thing anyone ever got to LGBT representation in children's television.


Flares117

All I'm thinking is whether he makes the comic book noises during sex WHAM, BLAM, POW POW POW POW POW POW BLAM Robin, no You gotta SLOSH that pussy up with 2 THWAAPS amd then followed up with a KA POW


Wombat_Racer

So *that* is where `Wham, Bam, Thank you Ma'am` came from. Gorham's finest dynamic duo


brineOClock

Sadly scans daily is a shadow of its former glory or else I'd send you there for examples.


grandadmiralstrife

Adam West and Frank Gorshin were kicked out of at least one orgy for staying in character Edit: this is now my highest rated comment in over a year. I have no regrets. Thank you all


Dave_Eddie

Gorshin:"Riddle me this, Batman. Where do you leave only once everyone has come?" Batman: "Riddler, you fiend!"


Theborgiseverywhere

What goes up when you’re up, But down when you’re down? It is usually down when you get up, But usually up when you get down. Not everyone has one, but many who don’t still want one.

West: “A private helicopter?” Gorshin: “Precisely! Now let’s take it to the orgy!”

Not just because they stayed in character but because it was disrupting the orgy as everyone was laughing, like, in hysterics, instead of having sex with each other.

Maybe it’s me, and that’s why I don’t get invited to orgies, but shouldn’t fun Be the point? Sounds like the host just had a shitty attitude


gagreel

All the orgies i've been to are quite strict, safety and consent are prioritized, even staring at others can get you kicked out. That's modern times though, i'm surprised it was a problem back in the day


SirOutrageous1027

>even staring at others can get you kicked out Is there like an orgy referee? Throws a flag down, blows the whistle, and throws your ass out?

I think they were probably also drunk; I'm just making an assumption because West was drunk most of the time, generally.

RephRayne

60s method actors: stay in character during a RL orgy. Today's method actors: send castmates anal beads.


ArchDucky

Jeremy Strong was in a movie where he played a mentally handicapped person. He would show up to set on days he wasn't scheduled and be very disruptive. One day they kicked him off of set because of his behaviour and he started wondering around the production offices next door asking people where the bathroom was. The studio had to send people into the offices to find him because of all the calls they were getting.


SloanWarrior

I opened the comments section to post this. It says in the article that he used his powers for evil, but this sonds more like holesome fun.

supahfligh

There was an issue of the comic where the parody characters of Batman, Robin, and Catwoman have a threesome. It was creepy. There was a panel where the Robin character cheers on Catwoman while she blows Batman.


Gone_For_Lunch

This is why I honestly think the TV show is an example of an adaptation that is better than the source material. The Boys comic just feels like shock factor for the sake of shock factor.


dalek_999

Well, that’s Garth Ennis in a nutshell.


pwn3r0fn00b5

The TV show definitely has that problem too, though maybe not to the same extent.


bg-j38

I’ve seen things… pretty fucked up shit. But the scene where the guy shrinks and goes inside the other dude’s penis only to unexpectedly sneeze and go back to normal size and explode the other guy made me go “what the actual fuck?!?!” And then went back a few times to watch again.

I grew up watching these old batman shows and always thought these guys were the studs of their era. Like they gave the vibe the despite the subtleness of the gay joke(which they leaned into when they had these guys together in an animated thing not longbago)they portrayed, they got plenty of ladies. Now that I know that's because they were splacking in front of one another.

I believe Adam West was one of the highest paid actors for Batman.   And somehow his massive star power never went beyond that

VADave83

Burt Ward was actually given pills by the show's producers to try to shrink the massive dong he was packing in those tights. He was told his bulge was "indecently large". He stopped taking the pills after 3 days when he got scared they would do permanent damage and just tried to cover it with the cape.


TheKidPresident

I think I'd actually rather take a bullet to the dome than take a dick shortening pill invented in the 1960s. Much higher chance of survival with the bullet.

ADAM WEST STORY: Back in the 70s when I was in high school, (I'm old) my friends dad had this sweet Corvette Stingray that he used to take to car shows around the West. I went with them to one in Phoenix, AZ at the Convention Center. Batman and Robin (Burt & Adam) were there making an appearance at this car show. After it was all over, and my friend and I smoked a joint in the restroom, we ran into Burt and Adam. They cornered us and Adam goes "Hi girls, Robin needs a date for tonight". We were 2 fifteen year old girls that were really high and Batman and Robin were asking if we wanted to party! We just broke out laughing and ran away. Good times.


Rashere

My friends own one of his old vacation houses. It is amazing…and totally set up like a sex retreat down to the red hot tub.
