What I see are sidekicks that are (romantically) invisible to their heroes. Jim and Blair, Han & Luke, Holmes& Watson, and especially Michael & Brian. (snip) But I do get it.
The context of the song doesn't fit the relationship of the heroes/sidekicks in the chosen fandoms, since it's arguable that Michael is romantically invisible to Brian -- rather, there's a boundary there Brian isn't willing to cross -- and so forth. I don't think it was too hard to see what she was driving at, but overall she didn't make her point, because she didn't put the vid together well. IMO, YMMV, and all that.
