Crockett and Tubbs called... they want their underwear back.






Seriously?  Men's underwear?  I mean, it was in the men's section of a local retailer, but... seriously? I only photographed two examples, but I assure you, there were purples, neon greens, and neon yellows pridefully displaying their full plumage on the racks.

My cynicism tells me that this abomination of apparel can only mean one of a few possible things.  1) I'm getting very old, and this shit is apparently cool, 2) this underwear is only for people who wear skinny jeans, 3) I'm way, waaayyy out of touch with my feminine side, or 4) it's not long before we all see rivers turn to blood, skies blacken with locusts, and the four horsemen of the apocalypse ride across our eternally damned earth.

From a female perspective... I have no idea what that's about either. If a guy I was dating whipped his pants off and blinded me with those suckers, I would either sue him for ocular damage and crimes against masculinity, or laugh my arse off and then sue him...

Haha!

Now all you need is a pair of espadrilles and a partner, and you're all set to fight crime on the streets of Miami!

Miss Nikki said...

Those green Calvin's are hot. The metrosexual look is hot. Nothing sexier than a man confident in his sexuality who can do the less than manly man thing. Like a dude wearing pink? HOT!
p.s. the orange things are lame, and the best color for these would be either black or white

Grate rhose orange shorts blimded mee

My mistake, turns out I just had my eyes closed.

@ Molly: "Crimes against masculinity" LOL

@ bschooled: Hooray! Thank you for addressing the Miami Vice aspect. I could get some espadrilles, but I didn't think Eddie Izzard was in the original cast of the show. Oh well, have to run, late for my Jai-alai lessons.

@ Miss Nikki: Ah, then I suppose I'm just old and out of style. I lose.

@ Drake: You're probably better off just keeping them closed. Nothing to see here.

I think the Orange pair may be for Deer hunting season.

Didactic Pirate said...

I don't know what you're talking about. I'm wearing that orange pair right now. They go great with my Crocs and socks.

Dr. Cynicism said...

@ Nubian: Maybe that's why Cheney shot his hunting buddy... hmmm.

@ Didactic Pirate: Damn you for that mental imagery!

Nubian said...

Do I at least get extra credit for thinking outside the box?

Dr. Cynicism said...

@ Nubian: Although this isn't a homework assignment, I'll give you extra credit anyway. Oh hell, I'll give a little extra credit to everyone who commented on this post. Shhh!! Don't tell the rest of the class.

Lola Lakely said...

Yeah, so back at you with the whole your blog is awesome thing.

You won me over with your delicious sarcasm.

Dr. Cynicism said...

@ Lola: Oh yea?! Well back at you... again... or something. Also, I'm glad you enjoy my sarcastic cuisine!

Vodka and Ground Beef said...

Just tell us already, which ones did you buy?

Brahm (alfred lives here) said...

I own those.

Dr. Cynicism said...

@ Vodka: Pshh! Whatev! I totally would not buy the neon purple pair in a medium, and then get the orange ones since it was a buy-one-get-one-half-off special. Totally did not.

@ Brahm: Then you sir are a braver man than I.

Sheez Doc, you are lucky you didn't get arrested snapping shots of undies. I'm sure there is a law against it :)
My personal favs are the Guantanamo Bay waterboarding undies. Orange is the new black!

Dr. Cynicism said...

@ frigginloon: You raise a good point. There's probably a blog somewhere out there posting a pic of me taking pictures of underwear. I'm just hoping that blog isn't government run or anything...

frigginloon said...

Doc, I just hope it isn't posted on the People of Walmart...I'm just sayin!

Dr. Cynicism said...

LOL!

Rico Swaff said...

#4 made me bust a gut.

Dr. Cynicism said...

@ Rico: Thanks! (I'm not responsible for reading related injuries though)

Salt said...

I'm torn between #2 and #4.
Maybe it's a little of both? I always thought that men in skinny jeans were a signal of the upcoming apocalypse, so perhaps these things are related.

Dr. Cynicism said...

@ Salt: I also believe that there is a significant correlation between these two. Perhaps I can steer some of my grant funding to research this endeavor; good idea!

Guzzo said...

Please tell me you live in San Francisco.

Dr. Cynicism said...

@ Guzzo: Sadly, no. It seems this fashion is taking ALL of America by storm.
