Michael Christopher Kelso (born 1959), usually referred to simply as Kelso by his friends, is one of the five male leads on Fox Network's ''That '70s Show'', portrayed by Ashton Kutcher.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=That '70s Show: Cast & Details )〕 Tall, lanky and long-haired, Kelso had been accepted as the local idiot until he moved to Chicago for the eighth season.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=That '70s Show: Season 01 )〕 His behavior is very much in line with a stereotypical oversexed lunkhead or a male-bimbo who gets through life on his good looks.〔 He spends most of the series in a mutually parasitic relationship with the equally vapid Jackie Burkhart, whom he continues to obsess over following their numerous breakups.〔 In spite of his stupidity, Kelso is shown on several occasions not to be immature, simply unmotivated; when he was either forced to or chose to, Kelso displayed startling intelligence unbecoming of his usual personality or hijinks. Near the end of the series, Kelso became one of the first characters to completely break away from adolescence and into adulthood when he impregnated a girl with whom he had a one-night stand; to his friends' surprise, Kelso took responsibility for the child, moving to Chicago to take a job to support and be near his newborn daughter. == Storylines == Michael Kelso was first introduced in 'That 70s Pilot' as Eric Forman's lesser-intelligent, loudly obnoxious friend who was dating a preppy, younger student Jackie Burkhart. Much to his friends' annoyance, he frequently claims to be breaking up with Jackie but does not go through with it, in hopes she'll 'put out' eventually.〔 Because of her, he misses out on a Todd Rundgren concert, instead spending the evening making out in the back of the Vista Cruiser. As the series progresses, it is later revealed that Michael cheats on his girlfriend (most notably with Pam Macey). At one point, Jackie found out and banned Kelso from coming to her ski-trip, though Michael still attempts to find a way there. Kelso also unwittingly got his friends into trouble after driving them around in an apparently stolen car.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=That '70s Show: Stolen Car )〕 They were arrested, though Eric's connections with his father got them out of trouble.〔〔 Eventually, Kelso loses his virginity to Jackie, though they go through a scare that she may be pregnant,〔 which turns out to be misinformed.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=That '70s Show: The Pill )〕 Eventually, Kelso purchases a van which becomes the main focus of his secondary story during seasons 2 and 3. On one occasion, Jackie wished to decorate the van resulting in it becoming temporarily covered in stuffed animals, though all were removed soon after. The van became the gang's main source of transportation on long-distance journeys, such as Vanstock and to the Ice Shack. However, it ultimately meets its fate sinking to the bottom of a river through broken ice.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Episode #309 "Ice Shack" )〕 Like Eric, Kelso buys his girlfriend Jackie a Promise Ring to show how important the relationship is to him. However, while Jackie is overjoyed with her ring, Donna becomes unsure of her future with Eric, causing Eric to break up with her.〔 The season four opening episode sees Eric envisioning a possible future with Donna, a woman he had not actually met. In this future, Kelso and Jackie have broken up once again only to consistently re-kindle their relationship for a one-night stand every time they reunite.〔 Kelso also spends most of that season attempting to pry Eric from his depression, though ultimately chooses Funland over Eric in the second episode, only to get lost and brought back by a concerned mother.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Episode #402 "Eric's Depression" )〕 The mother, however, kicks him out of her car after he threatens her children following their insults to him, causing Kelso to walk home.〔 Kelso was also elected for Snow King at the Snow prom much to Jackie's disapproval.〔 Class Picture is a flash-back episode revealing how each of the gang members met each other. Kelso and Eric's meeting is not explained thoroughly, though it is presumed they simply met in first-grade.〔 However, Forman's first impression of Kelso was remembered as Kelso showed up at the door without pants.〔 After a quick reminder, Kelso exclaimed 'My pants!!' before rushing home. It was also revealed he was the only male member of the gang not to have seen Donna's breasts, though she allows him to see them after.〔 Kelso later invented a day which he named 'Prank Day' where he attempted to get as many pranks on his friends as possible. During the Season 4 finale, Jackie misleadingly believes that Kelso is proposing to her, causing him to decide to run off to California. After meeting up with Donna, who had recently been humiliated by her then boyfriend and Kelso's brother, Casey, they both take off.〔 When Kelso returned at the beginning of Season 5, he found out that Jackie had moved on to Hyde, which made him extremely jealous, and he spent the majority of the season trying to get her back. Eventually, Kelso claimed to be over Jackie and renewed his friendship with Hyde, and began a relationship with Annette (Jessica Simpson), a girl he had a short relationship with in California.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=That '70s Show: Season 05:Synopsis )〕 Jackie, in the same manner as Kelso had, became jealous, and even went so far as to yell, "Get off my boyfriend!" when she saw Kelso and Annette kissing. Kelso responded positively to this and began to make a big show of it. Annette left him at the school dance, telling him he wasn't over Jackie, and Kelso soon realized that Annette was right.〔 So when Jackie broke up with Hyde, Kelso did all he could to win her over, even competing with Hyde at some points. However, when Jackie chose Hyde over him, he respected her decision and even helped to bring the two together again. From then on, Kelso and Jackie shared a relationship as friends. In Season 6, Kelso is the focus of a major plot twist in which he accidentally impregnates a girl, Brooke, in a bathroom at a Molly Hatchet concert. Brooke initially does not want Kelso in the baby's life, much to Kelso's relief. However, a pep-talk from Donna causes him to change his mind as he attempts to prove to Brooke he can be a father.〔 In the seventh season, Betsy Kelso, was born.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Episode #702 "Let's Spend the Night Together" )〕 Brooke left for Chicago giving Kelso permission to see Betsy whenever he can. Kelso becomes a policeman, albeit a bumbling one. He attempts to take his job seriously by growing a moustache and calling himself "Mike," and even going as far as flushing Hyde's marijuana stash down the toilet (ironically in The Circle), but he was quickly reverts when Hyde and Fez shave his moustache and made him resemble the moustache Adolf Hitler was famous for. He eventually sets the police academy on fire using a flare gun, but even before then, had broken into the academy and had lost his supervisor's squad car. At the end of Season 7, Kelso drives Jackie to Chicago after her break-up with Hyde. When Hyde follows her there to propose, he finds Kelso naked, wrapped in a towel, making a comment implying that he and Jackie were about to have sex.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Episode #725 "Til The Next Goodbye" )〕 Although Kelso frequently makes sexual comments to every female on the show, including Jackie and Donna, but Hyde believes the two really were about to engage in sex, and drives off to Las Vegas, effectively ending his relationship with Jackie. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Michael Kelso」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
