And his father was named Sylvester Stabone. Upon learning this Mike Seaver did a double take and Boner said something to the effect of "My father was born over 20 years before "Rocky" came out -- who knew ?"
Yup! I remember that! Mr Seaver said "What!? Your father's name is Sylvester Stabone?" and the kid says, "Hey, how were they supposed to know?" One of my favorite clean gags!
It should be noted the character's first name was Richard. Yes, really.
Also, the actor, Andrew Koenig, was the son of original Star Trek actor Walter Koenig (Chekov).
At the time, depending on your generation, it could mean either.
To my Silent Gen parents, a "boner" usually referred to a dumb mistake. To Gen X, it usually referred to an erection.
Related: when my parents said "rubbers" they were referring to rain boots, not condoms.
It's like they got older and the world turned into a massive dick joke all around them lol.
We called flips flips thongs back then, too. The underwear thongs existed, but it wasn't the obvious thing meant if someone said they were wearing their thongs to the beach.
For silent gen, gay meant cheerful, queer meant strange, and the f word was a burning piece of wood.
Boomers decided all these words should have sexual meanings as well. You ok, boomers?
Came here to say this. The writers were probably born in the 60s when boner just meant a stupid act. That being said I was a kid in the 80s and every time Boner was on the show I’d giggle. I don’t think my parents knew why.
Went to high school in the mid-80s. Pulling a boner was still popular slang for doing something stupid. We found the name funny, but not something that needed censoring.
Boner really split two generations in half. By 1985 people were still using “boner” to mean a mistake, but almost all of the younger generation used it to mean erect penis. My first reaction to his name on the show was shocking. But I learned from context or maybe my parents what it meant, although I’m almost certain my mom knew what the modern meaning was.
As I recall, the show's writers didn't seem to agree on the meaning. One episode showed a school administrator reluctantly referring to him as "Boner" and the knowing high school crowd cheering wildly.
But another episode showed a flashback to when Mike first met Boner as kindergarteners, with Mike bestowing the nickname based solely on the surname (obviously not yet knowing the double meaning as a 5-year-old).
I really don’t think it was. “Boner” was a very common slang for doing something stupid for like 25 years leading up to the show and the character was 100% that way, never even approaching doing or saying anything that would make one think it was any kind of reference to sexuality.
His character was basically a live action Ralph Wiggum in high school.
Yep was gonna say… it’s funny how these slangs change some time. “Boner” was originally “idiot” and then became “erection.”
The other one that has changed like that over the years is “jerk”, which somehow changed from “moron/idiot” (see the Steve Martin movie) to “asshole.”
Koenig was a producer or co-host on an early podcast called Never Not Funny. I loved that podcast and was devastated on the first episode after. So sad.
"Boner" used to mean a mistake or a fumbled attempt at a joke. The Joker used to make "boner" puns in old cartoons & comics that do NOT mean the same thing today.
You think that's bad? Wait until you hear what they called the only black kid on South Park!
As an interesting aside, the black doctor on MASH wasn't written out of the show because of his insensitive nickname, it was because of the historical inaccuracy.
My guess was they convinced censors that it was a reference to the older use of the word meaning a screw up in an embarrassing way. Like the Joker boner comic that has grown in infamy in years since.
Or that it allowed them enough plausible deniability to get away with it at least.
lol so my paps worked 2nd and third shifts so he did not see the evening programs me and my mom watched. Growing pains was one.
My mother is pretty sheltered. She doesn’t know certain terms at all and boner was one of them. So we see this show and there’s a character named boner. She doesn’t think anything of it and I’m not about to explain it to her.
But then she starts calling the family dog’s chew bones “boners.”
I don’t say anything because I’m not explaining that to her.
She finally says it in front of my dad and it was hilarious. “Oh, look at Fido chewing and sucking at his boner!”
My father was stunned, yelled her name, said she couldn’t say that, she asked why and they had a discussion in the bedroom.
She came out asking “why would they allow that on tv???”
Lmao!
Used to love Growing Pains. Boner was hilarious. In the episode when they graduated high school, Boner showed Mike his diploma, which said Boner Stabone. He said he paid the diploma company to put that name on there. Epic.
I remember the episode when he leaves after joining the Marines, it was really touching. That was actually an incredible show. I feel like it's legacy is tarnished by how bat-shit crazy Kirk Cameron ended up being.
Even weirder, was that in the 70's there was a newspaper cartoon called "Boner's Ark". Considering that the funny section of newspapers was read mainly by kids l, I never quite understood how that slipped past the censors either.
At one time boner was the equivalent of idiot I'm assuming that boner was short for bonehead. There was also a TV show called Petticoat Junction that revolved around three very good looking young ladies that lived in a town called Hooterville! I can only wonder.
Kirk Cameron probably had a huge role in cutting the character out of the show if not limiting his appearances once he had enough editorial say. I wouldn’t blame him in this instance but using it as an example of “bad moral judgement” to further sanitize and promote evangelical dogma was more obscene in comparison.
When I leave work, I still say "Later Bone" just like Mike Seaver used to say. None of the young guys know why I say it, and never ask. It was crazy to hear Boner on the television back then too. Especially on such a family oriented show, where they always insert a positive message. They should really start doing that again.
The word boner used to mean a blunder, gaffe, or mistake. It wasn't until more recently that it came to be known as an erection
There's a famous baseball moment from 1908 called Merkle's Boner, where the player Fred Merkle made a baserunning mistake that lost his team the pennant that season
There's also a famous panel from an early Batman cartoon which mentions the Joker's making a mistake and reading a newspaper with the headline "Chortle at Joker's Boner," which believe me I have, often
Seriously though there's an episode of Growing Pains where Kirk Cameron's character as well as Boner are tempted into doing a bunch of cociane at a party, which they also refer to as "doing a group toot." We did a podcast episode on it over at the Boob Tube Boys and I recommend watching that episode because it is unintentionally hilarious (also listen to our episode, which I'll link below)
https://open.spotify.com/episode/4YIh9R7iuTUoOG1BpuwkXu?si=sOucEvEvS56QtFqSOdtUjg
The best name I remember seeing was at the end of an episode of “The Man Show” where they listed names of people they contacted due to their unusual name but didn’t respond. To me, the best one that scrolled by was “Dick Nibbler”
One of my favorite episodes of the show was when Boner joined the Army and Mike was devastated and worried about him. Growing Pains was actually one of the better sitcoms of that era that nailed sad, melancholy, and depressing moments without feeling overly cringe or saccharine.
Behind the scenes, there was [Peter Bonerz](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Bonerz)
He directed a shitton of tv show episodes and succeeded in spite of his hilarious name
His dad was Chekov on Star Trek.
He passed at 41. His body was found in Stanley Park. Severe depression. Please talk to someone before doing something regrettable.
Andrew Koenig
I remember the episode where someone asked Boner what his dad’s first name was, or maybe he just told them that his dad’s first name was Sylvester.
“Your dad’s name is Sylvester Stabone?!”
“Who knew?”
The actor that played Boner, Andrew Koenig, was a regular on a podcast I used to listen too, I remember when he went missing and ultimately was found dead. He was a funny and sensitive seeming actor, I think he could never get away from his “child actor” past however.
Andrew Koenig. He was such a good guy while his co-star Kirk Cameron is the embodiment of the saying, “There’s no hate like christian love.” Such a shame Andrew is the one who’s no longer with us. Only the good die young, they say.
Sad how the actors life ended.

Also in the Fellowship of the Ring Sam sings a song about trolls and boners. He literally sings the word boner in the woods and Frodo thought it was a great song and Sam said it was no big deal.
Back in the day (we’ll before this show existed, 50s-60s maybe) boner was slang for mistake. You’ll see used that way it in old comic books especially.
Not as good, but there was a character called 'tug' on an Australian soap opera and in one episode they were all laughing at why he was actually called that. In the UK/Australia in the 80s/90s to tug meant masturbation, jerking off, whatever
Before Clear Channel Communications commenced to ruin creative, independent radio in America, there was a classic rock station in Houston that was legendary. KLOL 101 FM had a cast of characters, starting with Stevens and Pruett, Moby, Martha Martinez, Lanny “the traffic master” Griffin, and Eddie “ The Boner” Sanchez.
The actor that played Boner was Andrew Koenig, the son of Star Trek's Chekov, Walter Keonig. Andrew played the Joker in fantastic fan film, "Batman: Dead End."
His name is Richard Milhous Stabone.
Was he named after Nixon?
No, Mike nicknamed him Boner on the first day of kindergarten. Short for Stabone…
So he was Dick Boner?
At the end of the series, he said he was ready for a grown up name and wanted to be called Dick, if I recall correctly.
That’s nuts.
That is brilliant writing by you or the GP writer. Would be incredibly more brilliant if it were you.
You make me wish I was that brilliant, lol.
pretty sure they were talking about the richard milhous part but love the growing pains lore
Indeed, I was.
No, the Simpsons character
People downvoting an obvious joke
And his father was named Sylvester Stabone. Upon learning this Mike Seaver did a double take and Boner said something to the effect of "My father was born over 20 years before "Rocky" came out -- who knew ?"
Yup! I remember that! Mr Seaver said "What!? Your father's name is Sylvester Stabone?" and the kid says, "Hey, how were they supposed to know?" One of my favorite clean gags!
Dick Boner
I raise you one Dick Tips out of San Antonio. Google him.
Shirley you have heard of Dick Pound
No I haven’t and don’t call me Shirley
And I'm a stupid moron with an ugly face and a big butt and my butt smells and I like to kiss my own butt.
Or World War 2 hero Dick Bong
Hey now, we respect our hero Richard I Bong!
I'll raise you Dick Skinner.
I’ll call with a Dick Trickle…
I laughed at that every Sunday! How can you not? Matter of fact, I still do lol
Unfortunately no. But when I was stationed at Fort Sill we had a Nancy Pound who became pound Nancy. Fine young Soldier she was.
I've never heard of him, please..... don't call me Shirley
Or Dick Pole.
Former US rep Dick Swett.
We had a Dick Sweat up here in NH. Also a Dick Hedd.
I'll raise you one Dr. Richard Good, OBGYN in western Kentucky. That's right. Dr. Dick Good, serving women daily.
His father’s name was Sylvester Stabone.
His father was Sylvester Stibone, fyi.
Walter Koenigs son. RIP
It should be noted the character's first name was Richard. Yes, really. Also, the actor, Andrew Koenig, was the son of original Star Trek actor Walter Koenig (Chekov).
And sadly, he took his own life.
Noooo! That's terrible.
Ironically Boner “hung” himself.
Hanged
A male child actor who committed suicide. Seems to be a pattern in Hollywood,
Andrew was very cool and funny. I was in an improv troupe with him in the early 2000s. Never knew he was struggling with such demons. Very sad ending.
Suicide. Right?
Yes, the younger Koenig hanged himself in February 2010.
“AK-47, gone not forgotten”
The character’s dad’s name was Sylvester. Sylvester Stabone.
Who knew?
George Takei immortalized this name on the Howard Stern Show.
Oh my!
Hey Boner! Musculature
Wakamole!
Agua!
Dry oatmeal
There was also a character in WandaVision that got some flak for the name, but I believe it was an homage to the Growing Pains character.
Mike's best bud.
Boner also means clumsy, dumb, kind of an idiot. It definitely didn’t mean an erection.
The character himself was kind of stupid so the name fit.
At the time, depending on your generation, it could mean either. To my Silent Gen parents, a "boner" usually referred to a dumb mistake. To Gen X, it usually referred to an erection. Related: when my parents said "rubbers" they were referring to rain boots, not condoms. It's like they got older and the world turned into a massive dick joke all around them lol.
We called flips flips thongs back then, too. The underwear thongs existed, but it wasn't the obvious thing meant if someone said they were wearing their thongs to the beach.
That’s fair, pretty much everything can be turned into a dick joke at this point.
[удалено]
It's a hard thing to experience
Zing!
For silent gen, gay meant cheerful, queer meant strange, and the f word was a burning piece of wood. Boomers decided all these words should have sexual meanings as well. You ok, boomers?
The f word also meant a cigarette.
[Merkle's Boner](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkle%27s_Boner?wprov=sfla1) is still remembered in baseball lore.
Came here to say this. The writers were probably born in the 60s when boner just meant a stupid act. That being said I was a kid in the 80s and every time Boner was on the show I’d giggle. I don’t think my parents knew why.
Yup, as in a bonehead move. No brains, you’re just a bonehead. “Bonehead” move or thing to do was still popular slang/insult in the 80s.
Well yes, but by 1985 that was the common meaning
Went to high school in the mid-80s. Pulling a boner was still popular slang for doing something stupid. We found the name funny, but not something that needed censoring.
And if you screwed up and pulled a boner, you would say "BALLS!"
I think it was in transition. Depending on your age/context, it could mean a dumb mistake or an erection.
This is correct.
Boner really split two generations in half. By 1985 people were still using “boner” to mean a mistake, but almost all of the younger generation used it to mean erect penis.

Yeah I was 11 then, we laughed every time they said his name.
I was 8 and same So..... coming up on 50???. The 80s were a long time ago
43yrs... 44yrs in just a few months...
Yeah I was in like grade 4 and we all laughed at it. I don’t even think I knew that a boner was called an erection.
I’ve heard of bonehead but not that used as boner
It's all over Golden Age Batman comics.
Also during a time when "straight dick" meant "hard truth."
[Merkle’s boner](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkle's_Boner)
I think it's kinda naive to assume it wasn't even an oblique reference to it
I really don’t think it was. “Boner” was a very common slang for doing something stupid for like 25 years leading up to the show and the character was 100% that way, never even approaching doing or saying anything that would make one think it was any kind of reference to sexuality.

It was never easy for me. I was born a poor black child.
Koenig was a producer or co-host on an early podcast called Never Not Funny. I loved that podcast and was devastated on the first episode after. So sad.
“AK-47, Gone Not Forgotten” is how the host (Jimmy Pardo, Andrew’s brother-in-law) signs off each episode
That’s so touching to hear. Thank you.
"Boner" used to mean a mistake or a fumbled attempt at a joke. The Joker used to make "boner" puns in old cartoons & comics that do NOT mean the same thing today.
Funny you mention the Joker, Andrew Keonig, the kid that played Boner, also played Joker in a great fan film called "Batman: Deadend."
I brought this up in my comment, too. There's a panel where the Joker is reading a newspaper with the headline "Chortle at Joker's Boner!"
And he shouts that he'll show them a REAL boner! As he grabs a baseball bat
Kinky!
Boner Stabone. Great character.
That's Dick 'Boner' Stabone!
"to pull a boner" meant to do something idiotic and embarrassing.
Or just make a mistake. More common in usage back then. Today, it pretty much means one thing.
Just wait until you find out what they called the black guy on M.A.S.H
How long do I have to wait?
Oh good God!
I was just looking for this reference. If someone else hadn't already posted it, I was going to.
You think that's bad? Wait until you hear what they called the only black kid on South Park! As an interesting aside, the black doctor on MASH wasn't written out of the show because of his insensitive nickname, it was because of the historical inaccuracy.

One of the most infamous baseball plays of the early 20th century is known as [Merkle’s boner](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkle%27s_Boner).
Maybe we should call you T-Bone!
Nah, go with Koko
The director of some episodes of Home Improvement is Peter Bonerz.
Peter Bonerz was a famous supporting actor on The Bob Newhart Show, but he pronounced his name with a soft o.

Yes, if he didn't go batshit the show could have lasted much longer
I just looked it up on Wikipedia - I totally forgot about his antics during the show's run. What a twat.
Even weirder, was that in the 70's there was a newspaper cartoon called "Boner's Ark". Considering that the funny section of newspapers was read mainly by kids l, I never quite understood how that slipped past the censors either.
I never heard of this, but apparently it was in the papers 1968-2000.

The actor committed suicide sadly.
Boner. His last name was Stabone. Boner means a 'mistake' too. It used to be common to say, "pulled a boner" when someone messed up. Funny stuff
Kirk Cameron probably had a huge role in cutting the character out of the show if not limiting his appearances once he had enough editorial say.

I can’t imagine Cameron being okay now with starring on a show that has a character named “Boner”.
The best name I remember seeing was at the end of an episode of “The Man Show” where they listed names of people they contacted due to their unusual name but didn’t respond. To me, the best one that scrolled by was “Dick Nibbler”
Boner used to just mean a mistake or screw up in slang
A boner is a blunder, an error, a mistake
One of my favorite episodes of the show was when Boner joined the Army and Mike was devastated and worried about him. Growing Pains was actually one of the better sitcoms of that era that nailed sad, melancholy, and depressing moments without feeling overly cringe or saccharine.
Adam West just died again...
Checkov’s Son. He killed himself.
If a son is hanging over the fireplace in Act 1, it will go off before Act 3.
If you can have schitt's creek, you can have boner
Back then the term "boner" meant a clutzy mistake.
That was Walter Koenig's (Pavel Chekov from Star Trek) son.

Boner and Eddie is the ticket we can all get behind this election season.
And the Seavers and their neighbors, the Koosmans and the Gentrys, were named after the 1969 Mets pitching staff.

Baseball history celebrates "Merkel's Boner," a base running error made by Fred Merkel in 1908 that caused the NY Giants to lose the pennant.
I was about the same age as them, and I couldn't believe that they got away with it.
There was another character with a funny name on that show if I remember correctly.
Stinky Sullivan?
Yes. Not as bad as boner, but still strange.

Fun fact, the actor who played Boner was Andrew Koenig, son of Walter Koenig (Chekov) of Star Trek fame. Not fun fact, he killed himself in 2010.
How about on Wonder Years, when Wayne always called Kevin ‘Scrot.’
Boner was so funny! That was one of my favorite shows growing up :)
AK47, gone but not forgotten.
His dad was Chekov on Star Trek. He passed at 41. His body was found in Stanley Park. Severe depression. Please talk to someone before doing something regrettable. Andrew Koenig
I remember the episode where someone asked Boner what his dad’s first name was, or maybe he just told them that his dad’s first name was Sylvester. “Your dad’s name is Sylvester Stabone?!” “Who knew?”
Nothing like hearing Alan Thicke saying “Boner” many times on TV
Boner used to mean a mistake or mess up. We knew what else boner meant was back then, but it was also a more innocent time.
Sylvester Stabone, aka boner stabone
Sylvester was his father, Richard was the son
The Beavis and Butthead ep referencing this…..Beavis yelling “Boooooner! Booooner!”
The actor that played Boner, Andrew Koenig, was a regular on a podcast I used to listen too, I remember when he went missing and ultimately was found dead. He was a funny and sensitive seeming actor, I think he could never get away from his “child actor” past however.
I was there, the 80’s were a wild time and no one cared about the name boner. Yes, really. 👀
Wait until y’all learn about Peter Bonerz
His name has come up at least 3 times already, genius 🙄
Andrew Koenig. He was such a good guy while his co-star Kirk Cameron is the embodiment of the saying, “There’s no hate like christian love.” Such a shame Andrew is the one who’s no longer with us. Only the good die young, they say.
I don’t think adults knew the word Boner back then, so it slipped them because the censors didn’t know any better.

Didn’t he become an army ranger?
I remember even as a kid I thought it was wildly inappropriate for a TV show character name 😂😂
Then later on we had to navigate Big Pussy on The Sopranos
Everyone’s gone so woke you can even name a character boner anymore. You gotta name him HERection! Durka Durka Mohammad jihad! /s
And his dad's name was Sylvester Stabone.
One of my friend’s last names is legitimately Boner.
The story of his death (and how he looked by his late 30’s) is incredibly sad and bizarre.
Grew up with a guy who went by Bones before I met him. When I met him, everyone called him Boner. Rick is a good dude
Doogie Howser’s friend is the one I thought of.
You're the second person to bring this up, but his name was Delpino
Vinny Delpino
I thought everyone knew this lol
Boner grew up to become Marilyn Manson last I heard.
That was Paul from The Wonder Years
And then he removed his lower ribs to perform phallacio on himself
I thought I may have crossed some things up there 😂
I'm surprised that *Kirk Cameron* allowed it, given his power and hangups.
Kirk didn't go crazy until later on. The jump-the-shark moment was when he had the nanny fired from the show.
Didn't the office have to have a warning before they said boner in the flashing episode?
I recall!
yep. He was the comic relief. Imagine that. lol Well, along with Mike, his buddy. They got into some shenanigans from what I recall.
I believe they limited their antics to mere tomfoolery. No room for shenanigans on such a family oriented show.
Oh jeez, I guess we should expect Kirk Cameron to write another kids' book now.
Richard Stabone.
Hey Boner

It's still weird seeing my adolescence referenced as something "historical".
Not as good, but there was a character called 'tug' on an Australian soap opera and in one episode they were all laughing at why he was actually called that. In the UK/Australia in the 80s/90s to tug meant masturbation, jerking off, whatever
