6	''Sassy Gay Friend'' is a web video series about Brian Gallivan, who is what every single woman needs: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin a sassy gay friend]]. This series of skits are written by Gallivan and distributed by {{Website/YouTube}}'s The Second City Network. They involve a range of women from Shakespeare plays, movies, books and the Bible, who are all saved from their tragic fates by the intervention of a sassy gay friend. Just before disaster strikes, he pops out of nowhere, calls them out on their idiotic behavior, and encourages them to choose a wiser course of action. In later episodes, Brian extends his help to male characters from history, legend and literature.

54	%%* PetHomosexual: Again, parodied.
55	* ProductPlacement: Lampshaded in the ''Literature/GreatExpectations'' and ''Theatre/{{Macbeth}}'' episodes, then became a regular feature, with the Sassy Gay Friend being paid by [=MiO=] to promote their drinks.
56	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Sassy Gay Friend calls out Nina from ''Black Swan'' on her obsession with perfection:
57	-->'''Nina:''' But I ''finally'' did everything ''perfectly''!
58	-->'''Sassy Gay Friend:''' YOU HAVE DONE ''NOTHING'' PERFECTLY! ''Everything'' in your life could be improved! Number one, stop chomping people's tongues when you kiss them! Don't pick at your finger! Number two, when you're gonna diddle yourself, maybe glance around the room to make sure your MOM'S NOT THERE.

62	* VisualPun: In the ''Othello'' video, the very definitely not closeted Sassy Gay Friend pops out of the closet.
63	* VitriolicBestBuds: Rather, a Vitriolic Sassy Gay Friend. Has no problem insulting, heckling and berating his friends over their idiotic behavior even as he is helping them (and in a few cases, saving their lives).
64	* YouNeedToGetLaid: He says this to Lady Macbeth. Turns out she's just sick of being a {{Housewife}}.
