No-shave November: The top 5 mustaches on television
It’s November, which means midterms are over, and it’s time to do a little procrastinating, maybe by catching up on all the television you missed while twiddling your thumbs on the second floor of Olin (party floor). Most importantly, it’s No Shave November. To get you amped up about the month-long shaving holiday, here are five television characters whose facial hair will inspire you either to watch their shows or grow some fluff on that chinny chin chin of yours.
1. Ron Swanson, “Parks and Recreation”:
If you are looking to grow a mustache that means business, look no further than this guy. Watch “Parks and Recreation” to learn how to use your ’stache to become the most powerful human in Pawnee—or the DUC. Whichever.
2. Kenneth Parcell, “30 Rock”:
It may not look like he has anything on that baby face of his, but he totally does! It’s just a little wispy and blond…and maybe not really there. Sometimes, the best mustaches are invisible, so don’t fret, people who can’t grow much of anything. The new season of “30 Rock” is on NBC, and the older seasons can be found on Netflix.
3. Ned Stark, “Game of Thrones”:
Does this really merit explanation? Grow facial hair; be the best. Hurry up and watch “Game of Thrones” before season three premieres in March! Mustaches are coming.
4. Walter White, “Breaking Bad”:
He is the one who knocks—and has some addictive facial hair as well. Confession: I’ve never actually watched “Breaking Bad,” but I hear it’s really good. So let’s make the commitment together, dear readers, to watch “Breaking Bad” and grow some sick facial hair like Heisenberg. Bonus points if you go bald as well.
5. Mitchell Pritchett, “Modern Family”:
There’s nothing quite like a ginger beard, so to all the gingers out there, this one’s for you. If you need a giant hug from a hilariously dysfunctional family, be sure to check out “Modern Family.” It’s so good it may ruin your real family ties. (This was the case when my mother told me she would call me back the other night because I was interrupting her “Modern Family” time.)
