          Simon is the first person that came to my mind when I saw this post. Also the way you said UK Inbetweeners made me realize there’s also US version. Even the thought of it sounds terrible and I won’t even bother to check it.

              The US version of Ghosts is also much better than the UK version which inspired it.

              They are having a lore more fun with the universe/rules and exploring the Ghosts characters more. If the US version had the UK lead actress instead it’d be perfect

              Maybe in dramas, you can find more examples but for comedy, the office is the best only example I think. Makes you appreciate the producers even more, considering how tough a job it is.

          I’m bad at faces, but he reminds me of a combination of Mike Birbiglia, Seann William Scott, and Anders Holm. (I had to look up two of those names.)

          It seems a bit much to me, as well as a bit dated, but not unusual, interesting, or offensive enough that I would look twice if I saw it in person. I agree, it’s not atrocious.

        I’ve seen that format and keep wondering who that guy is. But I lack terms to look it up and then I forget.

        Who’s that?

          The other commenter in this thread theoretically answered your question. I’m not familiar with the character, so while they’re probably correct, I can’t make any observations on it. I only know him as the “You guys are getting X?” meme guy.

          I think your original question suggests you are familiar with the meme, but just in case I misinterpreted, here’s a random example.

          Insufficient sleep meme demonstrating you guys are getting X guy

    What’s wrong with that haircut? It’s neat and looks good and ladies like it. That broccoli cut is just atrocious.

    When I was a kid it was the bowl cut, now that’s a travesty. The haircut in the picture is nice

    Teenagers have had broccoli hair for the past 5 years. It’s boring. Invent a new fad already, I want a new thing to make fun of

    This is not nearly as bad as the broccoli fuck boys although this definitely was the hairstyle of the future fuck boys I was in elementary school with back in the day.

    How about we let people style their hair however the fuck they like. I see all these comments ridiculing different haircuts as if being fucking apes with hair going in slightly different ways at different lengths blabbering on about which way is better wasn’t the ridiculous part.

      I sometimes wish I had hair so I could change up my looks every now and then. I’m rocking a shiny bald head and have to change up my prescription glasses every now and then for a different look.

      But then again, I only have to shave. Nothing more involved. It’s a very easy to maintain style, this genetic baldness thing.

    The Suebian knot, a common hair style 2000 years ago. I'll take the broccoli over that.

    But I'll like the viking hair styles more.

    But I’m just a lazy fuck with a common ponytail because I don’t want to visit a hairdresser every few months.

        That’s real. Vikings did a lot of breading and added beads to beards and hair. They also sometimes shaved the sides and had asymmetric haircuts too. We know the hair styles from their graves. The length of hair varied. They let them grow out and cut them when they were long enough. You could do a lot of things with such long hair.

        The viking hair styles you see in the movies are mostly real.

        But vikings did not have dreadlocks. They probably didn’t know about them.
        This is wrong:

        And this is wrong too:

        They also often wore necklaces and wristbands with runes made of silver, iron or wood. Something like this:

        This was to either show your wealth or as an amulet. The futhark (runes) were not just an alphabet they also were magical characters. Each rune had its own special meaning.
        For example ᚠ (fehu, engl. cattle) stood for wealth, abundance and security. You wore that rune if you wanted that. And smiths added runes to tools and weapons to add magical powers to them.

    Why are we hating on things people like again? It doesn’t look bad. You all are aging like that dude who “chose poorly”
