is that christopher biggins?

[–]eggsandbeans 49 points50 points ago

Yes, and so the explanation is - because Christopher Biggins.

Seriously, if people knew this guy they would realise this is one of his least camp pictures.

[–]Visionism 15 points16 points ago

It's true. That's the most masculine I've ever seen him look.

[–]eggsandbeans 9 points10 points ago

No doubt. NSFW-ish

[–]jargonista 2 points3 points ago

Holy shit, this guy looks like a good time.

[–]TheCakeIsDelicious 2 points3 points ago

It actually reminds me of that clip by Flight of the Conchords "Fou Do Fa Fa."

[–]ourladyofmars 0 points1 point ago

I have had that song stuck in my head all week. Wouldn't be so bad if the lyrics were less ridiculous - as it is, I'm sitting here singing "ananas!" to myself.

[–]BeeCDN 1 point2 points ago

Seriously. My parents gave me a box of old stuff they'd found in their house when I moved out and for some reason, one of those items was a signed photo of Biggins. It's way camper than this.

[–]UliKunkel -1 points0 points ago

Actually its because pineapple translates to "banana" in most languages other than english.

[–]The_Maddog 0 points1 point ago

Yeah...never thought I'd see him on reddit.

Everything is ruined now :(

[–]Ftumsh 4 points5 points ago

He was in the Rocky Horror Picture Show!

[–]megaproblematic 0 points1 point ago

That's awesome. God, I love that movie.

[–]Ftumsh 2 points3 points ago

Is it an Agadoo reference?

[–]downesy 0 points1 point ago

With a tummy banana

[–]rex-splendor 21 points22 points ago

Ah Christopher Biggins. My mum had the book this is from. He's a keen knitter and published a book of knitting patterns in the early 80's called 'wit knits'. There is a part of my brain that had stored this away for thirty years, without it ever being recalled until now. Weird.

[–]Empyrean_Luminary 7 points8 points ago

He likes frogs too! http://imgur.com/3Ypbm

[–]Visionism 8 points9 points ago

It must feel good to finally get it out.

[–]MeRaMaLe 10 points11 points ago

Damn it, Trudy, what about the pineapple?

[–]my_Favorite_post 2 points3 points ago

Came for this, leaving satisfied.

[–]BecciLikesToast 8 points9 points ago

=| he has camel toe...

[–]everyoneistaken 2 points3 points ago

I like to think that for men it's camel tail.

EDIT: Or MANel toe. Don't forget manel toe.

[–]CheezyArmpit -4 points-3 points ago

I came to post this +1

[–]WRXero 17 points18 points ago

looks like Bill Gates has let himself go

[–]jazzilla 6 points7 points ago

as christopher biggins I find this christopher biggins

[–]jrbcnchezbrg 25 points26 points ago

[–]leafstripe 1 point2 points ago

Maybe he's on trees :P

[–]viceroyofmontecristo 6 points7 points ago

How rude of you to make fun of a fruitlexic like this. He clearly thinks the pineapple he's holding is a banana. Be more sensitive of people's mental challenges.

[–]bockh 0 points1 point ago

It could have something to do with most of the rest of the world calling pineapples 'ananas.'

[–]freshmillions 3 points4 points ago

I like to think he's so happy because he's trying new things

[–]Sambeaux 3 points4 points ago

Fruits.

It's a picture of a bunch of fruits.

[–]Turd_Baby 0 points1 point ago

[–]mj5748 3 points4 points ago

In many languages, the word for pineapple is ananas. It makes sense to me

[–]Carter52 4 points5 points ago

[–]gingerlemon 2 points3 points ago

Such a glorious photo need not explain itself to the likes of you!

[–]TheAsianMongoose 2 points3 points ago

My gradeschool French class showed a series of educational videos featuring a talking pineapple. "Ananas" is French for pineapple, so I guess that's a potential explanation.

[–]dwarfstarzero 1 point2 points ago

[–]ColdBeerz 1 point2 points ago

there's something wrong with his banana

[–]manonion83 -1 points0 points ago

Biggins!

[–]maniacalmania 0 points1 point ago

Somewhere along the line, this felt really right for someone.

[–]boston_Bucky 1 point2 points ago

the only insight i can provide: http://imgur.com/gallery/GeTss

[–]franklymydeer 0 points1 point ago

This could be something to do with the fact that, in pretty much every language apart from English, the work for pineapple is "ananas". Seriously, basically every language uses "ananas", and we use "pineapple". I know it's true because I keep reading it on Reddit.

[–]No_Easy_Buckets -1 points0 points ago

[–]karma4prez 0 points1 point ago

Just take the b off his shirt

[–]rscott89 1 point2 points ago

thank god, for a brief moment I did not think he was wearing pants. Saved by the corduroys yet again.

[–]bstampl1 1 point2 points ago

And it needs no explanation.

[–]cernunnos_89 1 point2 points ago

[–]tremendousbear 1 point2 points ago

Ananas = Pineapple. Ananas sounds like Bananas.

[–]jessicahonig 0 points1 point ago

He has a bigger camel toe than a camel.

[–]photogdavid 0 points1 point ago

"Ananas" or some variation is the word in most languages for what we call "Pineapple." Throw a B in front of that... WHOA. There is wisdom in that sweater.

[–]Izinator 0 points1 point ago

He is one with the cult of Dada Life.

"Pineapple" in French is "ananas."

[–]scarlettpumpernickel 0 points1 point ago

I was hoping he had no pants on.

[–]PHDummy 0 points1 point ago

You could say that this is a manana holding a manana.

[–]piezo32 1 point2 points ago

Maybe he belongs to one of the many countries that the word for Pineapple is "Ananas", and he sees some humour in an english sweater spelling it slightly wrong and having the wrong image.

Or the gangster thing. Probably a gangster thing.

Why does it matter to you? This image is old as hell, it's been found a lot more than 10 times, but it still makes people laugh, thus the 1000 upvotes. Therefore, it shouldn't matter to you.
