Cool. He snaps his fingers and magic happens. That's definitive cool that never goes out of style.

I don't know..
I mean, how cool can anyone be who hangs around with Richie Cunningham..?
seems kind of impossible to be even slightly cool.
and why did mrs. Cunningham at one point in the series always say she was feeling "frisky"..?
what was up with that!?

He was uncool. He looked like a 40 year old bloke hanging around with kids. Wearing a leather jacket does not make you cool.

never seen happy days, but i've always heard about this fonzie guy and how "cool" he was. i looked for pictures of teh fonz on google, and he kinda looked more of a dork than being cool. that's just first impression, i would like to see an episode of happy days before i judge him

You've seen all you need to see and you came to the right assessment.
Ceri: well, I more often than not see 16 year old council estate kids hanging around with an 8 year old and a 12 year old.

yeah true. He thougth they were geeky (and he doesn't like nerds), so he's a great guy actually.
There was so many things about him that was kinda "loser" (the stuff some of you mentioned + he lived above Ritchi'es garage), but I'd say he's cool.
He had some great selfesteem.
Like some of you mentioned there were some special phrases/words used in the show...
Like "sit on it", and (like qrter said) that Mrs Cunningham sometimes said she was feeling "frisky"...
I really like the show... feels nostalgic, but then it was already nostalgia when it was made...

He's not cool. That's not strong enough a word for that man. A word as awesome as the Fonzinator has not yet been invented.

isn't the fonz hanging out with richie cunningham the same principle as the pretty girls at school who surrounds themselves with fat, ugly friends.. all greasy hair and cobblestone skin.. bad breath, wabby legs and acne - they do it to make themselves look better.
besides.. 'cool' is a nonsense. a transcendental term.

we cant say if hes cool or not
the definition of whats cool, changes every generation.
we can't comment, because we didn't know the show at the time it came out.

they describe winkler's fonz as "three dimensional"..

in a later episode of "happy days", the Fonz was water-skiing and thusly jumped over some sharks.
this is marked as the point where the show went downhill.
so now the phrase means the point from where something good starts to go crappy.
