think about it rationally... tight blue jeans, tight white t-shirt, black leather jacket, hankie sticking out of back pocket (probably), hangs out with teenage boys, if they have a problem - he invites them into his office (which very conveniently happens to be a boys toilet), then when problem solved he comes out of the bog with his arm around them and signals to everyone else that life's ok by waving his thumb in the air and saying "heyyyyy" like joey from friends or something. dodgy as fuck.

I was thinking about the fonz just the other day
he really wasn't cool at all, I was never convinced of his coolness even as a kid, I mean who cast henry winkler (sp?) as the fonz?
short, not at all good looking, squeaky voice
and the character was a stupid, sexist fool
why

He was cool because everyone on the show thought he was cool. It's the rule of cool! If people believe it then it's true. Exhibit A. Kate Moss.
If Richie had of thought The Fonz was a complete bell-end then The Fonz' cool-factor would have dissipated.

And about 30 years older than the rest of them...
Oh. I thought it was always obvious. 
And he really wasn't at all cool, I never got that.
And am I alone in thinking Happy Days was crap? I was only a nipper when it was on telly but I used to despise it, from theme tune onwards. No idea why exactly, I was too young to remember my obviosuly well thought-out opinions anymore. <shrug>

It's a US TV network expression to describe a point where a TV series goes beyond the pale of crapness. Named after an episode of Happy Days which featured a water skiing Fonz jumping a shark.

He was also a paedo - were ANY of the girls he used to take home in 2s, 3s and 4s over 18?

Wasn't he supposed to be like 16 years old or something himself?
jump the shark - the point at which a tv programme becomes irretreivably shit.
useage example: "friends really jumped the shark when.....rachel got with ross."
"the simpsons jumped the shark when homer went from lovaebale idot to just plain idiot"
refers to the moment in happy days when the fonz decided to waterski over a bunch of sharks.

Spot the cool one:
I'll give you a clue. Its NOT the one in the black leather jacket or the two jocks in the background.

No dialogue. Just plot.
The Fonz was not gay or a paedo. He was a Drug Dealer.
