Don't care where you got the photo just hope my dad doesn't see this. He will find it so hilarious that for a week he will do this to all his shirts.

The popularity of this meme has always confused me because this guy doesn't even look that old. Dude looks like he's still in his 30s, and he's supposed to be a caricature of a clueless older guy on the internet? Is this meme riding on the amusement of 12-15 year old redditors who were still in diapers when I was an active jackass on ebaumsworld? You, my lawn, get off, etc.

[–]GiveMeBackMySon 8 points9 points ago

It comes from this original post. He is in his 30's, but he's just discovered memes.

[–]ue85 1 point2 points ago

A meme about a guy discovering memes. It's a metameme.

[–]leHCD 11 points12 points ago

Nah, not clueless. Just a fun-loving dad who hasn't seen memes before. He could be in his 30s/early 40s, chill man. Most redditors are young, so it's a reasonable age for a father.

[–]shadybrainfarm 1 point2 points ago

My dad was 40 when I was born. I know this is not necessarily normal, but I have a hard time seeing 40 year olds as potentially being fathers of teenagers who use the internet.

Kinda like how I thought all moms were fat.

[–]ElricG 0 points1 point ago

Mom had me when she was 30. I'm 19 now.

[–]jimbo_akimbo 2 points3 points ago

No, it's a picture of a redditor's dad. The dad had recently discovered reddit and had been in this state for a while.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

he's supposed to be a caricature of a clueless older guy on the internet?

No.

Is this meme riding on the amusement of 12-15 year old redditors who were still in diapers when I was an active jackass on ebaumsworld?

No.

Sounds like something my dad would do too :/

While relevant, not very entertaining in my opinion.

[–]imperfcet 0 points1 point ago

He looks like a young, square version of Ron White. In the facial expressions. Weird!

[–]ExtraCheesed_Buddha 2 points3 points ago

We must join forces to keep this hidden from the fathers who will do this or something similar, the Internet is a large place and it will not be easy

Waiting for the [FIXED] version with an actual baby alligator or crocodile (whichever it is) taped on the shirt.

How did you get the lizard to sit still long enough to tape it to your shirt?

[–]godlessatheist 1 point2 points ago

Now all the redditors are looking for a seagull to place on his/her shirt to make a hollister shirt.

[–]JannefromFinland 0 points1 point ago

I read 'lactose' shirt and expected some kind of milk pun shirt.

[–]foolishnesss 0 points1 point ago

I spent the night at the Jefferson Hotel in Richmond. IIRC, women used to pin little baby alligators to their dresses as was the fashion in the 30's(?). The hotel was swamped with alligators that people didn't want any more because they got too big.

[–]ieatlolz 1 point2 points ago

LOVE THE JAKE POSTER IN THE BACKGROUND

[–]Kryoten 0 points1 point ago

That reminds me of a Robin Williams joke in the 80's... "Those people are so damn rich, they don't buy Lacoste shirts, they just staple a live alligator to their house!"

unbrand by branding yourself. Disrupt branding by bringing attention to the brand. Make yourself a brand with an unctious fervor and purchase yourself at an inflated rate by ripping yourself from yourself one 3rd world child's hand stitched thread ripper tooling craft at a time. (outsource brand removal. Its cheaper. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6f6P5Ceuc4) I don't have the time. I don't have the money. I don't have the second hand books. I don't have the connections or inclination or clout. Debate is free. Let's split the check and talk more over dinner. One thing I did figure out by myself was how to pick a desk lock with a toe nail clipper's filing tool by rake picking. I found a pez dispenser. I rand my hand round the colored pencil lazy suzan on the desk, took one pez, put it back, and walked out. The lock never worked again and I was happy.

[–]themoop78 -5 points-4 points ago

No one seems to remember what a shit brand Lacoste was.

I remember as a kid seeing these in Kmart all the time, and it amuses me to no end seeing people now walk around wearing these like they're a fucking stud, not to mention they paid out the ass for that little alligator.

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points ago

The brand Izod bought 50% of the rights to Lacoste in America and made cheap shirts under the name Izod Lacoste. They did this from 1953 until 1993, when Lacoste bought their rights back and returned to producing high-end clothes.

Lacoste, after all, invented the "polo" shirt. René Lacoste, founder of the brand, made the shirt for tennis and the crocodile on it comes from Lacoste's nickname, Le Crocodile.

[–]themoop78 -4 points-3 points ago

They will never have the perception of "high-end" to my generation.

If I see you in one, I'll peg you as a Sears shopper.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

I haven't seen the old Izod Lacoste shirts, but the new ones are quite nice, on par with Ralph Lauren stuff, which costs the same.

[–]sailawaysail 0 points1 point ago

Lacoste is more expensive than Polo

[–]robofunk 0 points1 point ago

Ralph Lauren has like 10 different brands at different price points.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

On the Ralph Lauren site a polo is $85, at the Lacoste site it's $90. Both can be had for cheaper, of course.

[–]Joke_Getter 0 points1 point ago

Do you say it out loud or is it more of a mental list kind of thing?

[–]caseyjhol 6 points7 points ago

A company improved the quality of their product? IMPOSSIBLE!

[–]themoop78 -2 points-1 points ago

I don't think there's any discernible difference in quality, they just put their emblems on polo shirts and jack up their prices.

Also, I think Izod had something to do with Lacoste as well back in the day. In any respect, they deep sixed their brand for maximum distribution rights.

[–]BeezowPooPoo_ZGopGop 1 point2 points ago

The quality of their polos and tees (along with Ralph Lauren Polo) is awesome. They last through hundreds and hundreds of washes, never stretch and barely fade.

[–]Joke_Getter 4 points5 points ago

Too bad. Themoop78 has his mind made up. Stop wearing LaCoste shirts, everyone.

[–]idk112345 3 points4 points ago

Been like this in Germany forever. When I still lived on the Army base I used to wear them all the time. They cost like 5 dollars. My buddy took me to a German lacoste store a while ago and one polo was around 70€ or something crazy like that.

[–]BoonTobias 0 points1 point ago

They were fairly cheap in the 90s and 2ks, then just a few years ago i went to this outlet and saw a lacoste store, and I noticed a large number of chinese customers buying them up like nothing, I checked out the price for one shirt and i swear it was like $50, I quickly gtfo

[–]skybike 0 points1 point ago

I'm torn, on one hand I would never pay for La Coste products but I have a bunch of hand-me-downs from various people. I just wear them because they are clothes and I'm trying to save money for school, now I'm going to feel like I'm an asshole wearing pompous clothing.. thanks :(

[–]themoop78 0 points1 point ago

Don't feel bad. To your peers you'll look like a real go getter!

[–]Joke_Getter 0 points1 point ago

What do your peers wear?

[–]steinur 0 points1 point ago

Media blew up about Breivik fancying Lacoste. Lacoste did not like... I smiled, it is not exactly like they sponsored him.

[–]politburrito 0 points1 point ago

Kind of the same as Pum. Not long ago I remember their shoes being very cheap.

[–]Joke_Getter 0 points1 point ago

Do you laugh out loud or is it more of kind of a snicker?

[–]rush22 0 points1 point ago

As a kid I thought they were kid's shirts--and still did until recently when I embarassed someone I know by saying something like "haha I loved those alligator shirts, that's awesome that you're actually wearing one"

[–]nykzero 0 points1 point ago

"Oh man, that guy is wearing clothes from K-mart, what a loser!"

Fuck you for judging people by the brand of clothes they wear. The manufacturing cost is probably the same as some $80 designer T-shirt.

[–]munk_e_man 1 point2 points ago

Allow me to help you pull your head out of your ass. I used to wear Lacoste as a kid, since they were dirt cheap in Greece during the 80's, and bought one when I was 16 for nostalgic purposes. It's since lasted 10 years and counting, hasn't faded, doesn't need ironing, and is extremely comfortable.

[–]TheBlueLamp -2 points-1 points ago

There's something wrong here...

[–]nicxus -2 points-1 points ago

Finally!!! I learned the name of that shirt! Now I can stop calling it the shirt with the tiny alligator!

[–]Spiderbeard -2 points-1 points ago

[–]Lostinservice 0 points1 point ago

More like lowcost, amirite?

[–]chmilz -1 points0 points ago

I think this shirt is broken. Don't all Lacoste shirts have popped collars and come filled with douchebags?
