If You Thought Tina Fey's 90's Hair Was Bad ....

Before I Love You, Man. Before 200 Cigarettes. Before The Shape of Things. Hell, even before Clueless, Paul Rudd — who if I’m not mistaken is in the Pajiba Ten Hall of Fame — was once a Bah Mitvah DJ.

And Wow: The bad hair. If you’ve ever wondered whether a truly atrocious hairstyle could completely obscure a guy’s level of adorableness, here’s your answer. It’s not quite as bad as Tina Fey’s 1995 hairstyle, but this 1992 hair likewise owes a lot to the time period. I think it’s probably the same hairstyle I had in 92, and man alive: The ladies were lining up.

See, everybody's had bad hair. It is a universal experience, like breathing or being dumped.

nope. still adorable!

That's not so bad for 90s hair. I had an undercut...


I stand by it.

I had that exact haircut. Exact.
~shame~

That's not so bad

Sage, you're blinded by shame. That is bad. Also, are you the Sage I know, in Vancouver? If so, hi!

I have scoured the Web for a picture of Nathan Fillion from his soap opera days (in the 90s), to no avail. Apparently his devoted fans have removed all those images from the universe.

This was the worst I could find. And you'll notice he's still adorable.

I will award five internets to the first person who can find, and post, a picture of The Fillion as Joey from Days Of Our Lives.

He had a Wedge, y'all.

GOLD! And I don't just mean his jacket.

Tres adorable.


Posted by: Mrs. Julien at August 3, 2010 9:06 PM

Oh, wait.

Never mind.

I'll just keep these internets for myself.

Because I'm a sadist at heart, that's why.

Why settle for pictures of OLTL Fillion, Jerce? Plenty of cringe-worthy internet clips for posterity:

ZOMG, the youth! The hair! The misplaced intensity!

It almost makes me wish I was a housewife, so I could watch soaps. Almost.

I realize this makes me really really old, but I'd take these haircuts worn with baggy jeans and flannel shirts any day over the skinny jeans and stupid shaggy emo hair men wear now.

Doing school shopping for the little pug, who starts kindergarten this year, I saw skinny jeans for little boys. Not slim (as in slim vs. husky) but SKINNY jeans. For 5-year-olds. I'd welcome the return of 90s style.

Now get off my lawn!

Still adorable, if not more so. Bright yellow jacket!

Hehe you're probably right. But it's still better than the hair I had then.

Also, I'm a Sage from, sorry. :)

That's meant to say Sage from Sydney... Not sure why that got cut off.

Posted by: Sage at August 3, 2010 9:47 PM

I'm shameless enough to do this: I'm eliciting more links to bad celebrity 90's hair; the top 5 will comprise an SRL. I think Fillion may have the edge.

Posted by: Dustin Rowles at August 3, 2010 9:49 PM

Dustin, you're really limiting it to five? I mean, I think you could easily come up with a Top 20 bad 90s hair. (That's not to mention a Top 100 bad 80s hair, bien sûr.)

Posted by: MM at August 3, 2010 9:57 PM

Does he just do Bat Mitzvahs? Because we have an anniversary coming up and I'm thinking of throwing a party. I wasn't thinking about it before. But suddenly I am.

Posted by: greer at August 3, 2010 10:06 PM

Great idea there, Dustin! I await my check.

Like we're surprised.

My best friend had a pair of sunglasses she used specifically and exclusively for holding her Elaine Bennis hair in place.

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at August 3, 2010 10:32 PM

Paul Rudd used to work bat mitzvahs? That's funny. He was a big part of my coming of age too. Only mine didn't involve presents and line dances, just a worn-out VHS copy of Clueless and a sense of shame.

Posted by: MelBivDevoe at August 3, 2010 10:35 PM

Are those SHORTS??

Posted by: Dorothy Snarker at August 3, 2010 10:41 PM

Shorts with socks & Doc Martens AND a screamin' yellow coat.

I'd still do him. You hear me, I'D STILL DO HIM.

Posted by: MM at August 3, 2010 11:25 PM

Yup. Me too.

Posted by: general rhubarb at August 3, 2010 11:34 PM

It wasn't so bad with that hat on...

But dear god.

I am not sure if people are aware of this but just wanted to gently point out that Brooke Shields unlike most actresses in Hollywood actually went to an Ivy league college (Princeton Univ.) and graduated. We have to give her some credit for this especially nowadays where most young actors are busy getting wasted every night.do u ever heard about sugardaddyhunt.com?the best place to get a sugarbaby or sugardaddy.i strong advise u singles go to have a look.

What the fuck? The spambots are getting really verbose.

Apparently there are skinny jeans for toddlers too.

An attractive woman in her 30's or 40's who is on the hunt once again. She may be found in the usual hunting grounds: nightclubs, bars, beaches, etc. She will not play the usual B.S. games that women in their early twenties participate in. End state, she will be going for the kill, just like you. Associated with milfs...

That haircut was the shizzdaddy 20 years ago. I had a very similar 'do in '93 without the tremendous mushroom effect Rudd is rocking. It was a physical manifestation of my love for grunge music and weed. Unfortunately, kids in the mid-to-late '90s who wore black make-up and murdered their classmates ruined that haircut forever. Sort of like Hitler ruining the thumbstache for 70 years until Michael Jordan shockingly reintroduced it to civilization in a fucking Hanes commercial.

Seriously.

Yellow jacket? Yellow ruffled shirt? SHORTS? Socks and hiking boots? Funny hair?

He's not a bar mitzvah DJ.
He's a FOOKIN CLOWN!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Posted by: BWeaves at August 4, 2010 10:46 AM

Yeah, the clothes are definitely the greater atrocity here.
