Movember Deleted Scene #3 - The Handsome Boy Modeling School

December 3rd, 2009 Graig

I wanted to keep fake moustaches to a minimum, but I couldn’t help but remember how the old lip service transformed Producers Prince Paul and Dan The Automator into Chest Rockwell and Nathaniel Merriweather, the operators of Handsome Boy Modeling School, the best $50 you ever spend. Satisfied graduates include such luminary moustaches as Father Guido Sarducci.

Movember Deleted Scene #2 - The Hyneman

December 2nd, 2009 Graig

The Mythbusters legend didn’t make it into Movember proper because it’s not just a moustache… he didn’t meet the criteria… but I dig this guy nonetheless.

Movember Deleted Scene - The Cliff Clavin

December 1st, 2009 Graig

John Ratzenberger may be sporting a goatee these days, but the Cliff Claven lives on. Who says blonde men shouldn’t have moustaches?

Movember #30 - The Cronkite

November 30th, 2009 Graig

Closing out the Moustache Party is the ultimate Grandpa moustache that belongs to a legend among newsmen, Walter Cronkite. His faint, almost-not-even-there silver lip mane is unique in that it doesn’t really stand out at all, and it takes a while to notice… but once you do, it just screams of integrity. To sport a moustache like this takes talent, class and a bag of Werther’s Orginals.

Thank you for visiting geekent’s Movember and thanks to those who supported GAK in his Movember challenge to raise money for Pancreatic Cancer research.

Movember #29 - The Geraldo

November 29th, 2009 Graig

The Hitler may be the most evil moustache on the planet, the kind of moustache that makes you cringe and want to run in terror, but the Geraldo, made famous by one Geraldo Rivera, is the only moustache in the world that makes you want to aim your fist 1 inch above it. Seriously, you see this moustache and your fist just naturally gravitates towards it. Can’t be helped.

See, it’s not just me.

(N.B. - for a brief time in the mid-1980s, the Geraldo was better known as “The Iron Shiek”)

Movember #27/28 - The Grover/The Taft

November 27th, 2009 Graig

Not quite as wild as the Brimley, the Grover, here popularized by President Grover Cleveland is yet another popularized styling of “the walrus”.

There were four U.S. Presidents to sport moustaches: Chester A. Arthur, Teddy Roosevelt, The Grover, and, yes, William Taft:

The Taft combines elements of the Grover with that of the Dali to create his own unique signature.

Rip Taylor is a famous for sporting the Taft:

Movember #26 - The Lemmy

November 26th, 2009 Graig

Not to be confused with the Lanny, the Lemmy comes complete with connecting chops and unsightly boils. The legend of metal, Motorhead frontman and awesomely-named Lemmy Kilmister (surprisingly, Lemmy is the made-up part of his name, not Kilmister) is as much about his music as his killer facial hair.

Movember #25 - The Oates

November 25th, 2009 Graig

Hall and Oates would be nothing without Daryl Hall’s immaculate voice and John Oates’ immaculate soup strainer. Seriously.

Movember #24 - The Hogan

November 24th, 2009 Graig

The bleach-blonde variation of the classic “Handlebar” moustache. Where do you think Orange County Chopper’s Paul Sr. got the idea?

Movember #23 - The Silverman

November 23rd, 2009 Graig

You would almost think that “The Silverman” should be a gloriously thick, silver ’stache, but no! Sarah Silverman says why should men have all the fun and shoots the most earnest look to the crowd at the 2009 Emmy Awards. Classic.

Movember #22 - The Flanders

November 22nd, 2009 Graig

For the past 20 years, Ned Flanders has had one of the most recognizable moustaches on TV, and an impressive soup strainer it is.

Movember #21 - The Trebek

Hands up, who misses Jeopardy host Alex Trebek’s debonair lip fuzz?
It was the king of salt-and-pepper ’staches, it was!

Movember #20 - The Lanny

November 20th, 2009 Graig

Probably the most famous moustache in sports history… Lanny MacDonald might also get the most famous red-stache, accentuated by years of adorning the vibrant red Calgary Flames colours.

Movember #19 - The Borat

November 19th, 2009 Graig

Sacha Baron Cohen’s perhaps played-out pop-cult phenomenon still yields one of the most impressive and impressionistic moustaches in recent history. The sheer breadth and density of the ’stache is what makes it so unique and impressive.
(Although it should be noted it was formerly, and, if the whole Borat thing finally plays out, it will once again be “The Freddie”)

Movember #18 - The Shaft

November 18th, 2009 Graig

Few men have so expertly sported ’stache like Richard Roundtree. Think the reason the Shaft remake wasn’t any good had anything to do with acting, direction, or script? Nope, it was all ’cause Sam Jackson decided to go with a bald head and a goatee instead of an afro and “The Shaft”.

Movember #17 - The Bazooka

November 17th, 2009 Graig

What makes Bazooka one of the most enduring and endearing of the G.I. Joe line? Is it his special-ed helmet? His vibrant red t-shirt sporting his IQ? His totally 80’s military-weapon codename? Nope, it’s the plastic replicant version of “The Burt”, morphing into its own as “The Bazooka”.

Movember #16 - The Minnesota Viking

November 16th, 2009 Graig

Not just any old viking, but the classic logo for the Minnesota Vikings football club. My high school had, for many years, appropriated this logo as their own for their various sporting teams. The Viking-themed comic column I worked on for over five years also utilized the logo for their ranking system. It gets around…

Movember #15 - The Romero

November 15th, 2009 Graig

The Romero is named after the late Cesar Romero, most famous for his role as the Joker in the campy ’60’s Batman series. It’s been said that the creepiest thing about his Joker portrayal is the fact that the face paint also attempts to cover over his moustache (which Romero famously refused to shave off for the role). The Romero can only work when it is covered over with white face paint.

Movember #14 - The Cranky Muppet

Thanks to the Muppet Wiki I found out that the cranky muppet that Grover is always serving in the restaurant is named Mr. Johnson. I think you can only really pull this ’stache off if you are a muppet.
