The Blue Oyster Bar is a recurring location in the Police Academy film series, first appearing in the original 1984 comedy. In the films it is a gay leather bar presented as a trap for unsuspecting cadets and officers, who are invariably forced to tango with patrons once inside. The same tango theme returns in sequel after sequel, turning the location into one of the franchise's most recognisable running jokes. Online, the clip survives as shorthand for walking into exactly the wrong place.
