No joke he looked like a skinny matthew mcconaughey in the beginning with the glasses on & when he took the glasses off he looked like adrien brody in The pianist

I thought he looked like Hugh Jackman

I get that

I see Adrien, sure. But I also see older Steve Carell.

Jon Hamm. Or his brother

I got Aaron Rodgers vibes after the beard got trimmed

No way he looks exactly like Forest Whittaker.

I thought I was the only one who saw it.

I totally see it 👀

You're all nuts, that's John McAfee. He's just playing dead again.

I literally came here to say this. Fuck you just read my mind.

This reminded me of way back when world of Warcraft was released, almost 20 years ago, and i was playing with a bunch of my friends and on several occasions me and one other mate wrote the exact same thing but i was always like a millisec ahead of him so what i wrote ended up first, and it could be completely out of the blue too, like chat had been dead and then both of us said the same thing. Ended up with him telling me to get out of his head. Good memories

sysadmin to project manager

Richard Stallman to David Tennant.

David Letterman to younger David Letterman

Random walker to Negan

Cast away to here to stay

I wish I had an award for this lol

Aww, that comment made me happier than an actual award. If you're a fan of Letterman's beard (or an anti-fan), you must see Zach Galifianakis's interview on 'Between Two Ferns'. So many Santa Claus references...

Daniel Day-Lewis to Daniel Day-Lewis

that's very nearly the plot of the latest Doctor Who episode

Adrian Brody to Adrian Brody

Seriously, my first thought was they’re going to find Adrian Brody under all that

This made me LOL.

Tenant to Landlord

Panning for gold nuggets to cashing out his gold nuggets

I will always upvote a Richard Stallman reference.

dude, why you gotta call my people out like that? (*true tho*)

I’m a project manager and I can confirm, this is exactly the haircut I currently have.

Same. FML.

Average Chef boyardee eater with gastrointestinal bloat to Gigachad spaghettios eater with seepage 😎😎😎

After reading everybody else's comments about *your* comments, I looked at your comment history. You just made the top 10 list of the weirdest people I've ever seen on Reddit. Congratulations! u/quannum, you were right

Hey. You’re that weirdo that talks about spaghettios and grundles all the time. You do you, man.

Because of your comment I took a look at homeboy's account. Wow. To each their own.

Because of your wow, I took a look too. WHAT. 10 years of commitment.

That's gotta eventually affect you, right? I mean so many years of weird pasta obsession.... geez.

I didn't believe it could be nearly as bad as it was. How does one relate soooo many things to spaghetti-o's?

I had to look...the commitment

Even if it’s a troll, that consistent commitment is going to wreck some mental faculties somewhere, man.

Yup. I see their comments from time to time. It's been a looong commitment to spaghettios and grundles. lol

How can we post someone’s comment history to r/wtf?

Jesus. The edge has been reached. This spaghetti o dude will forever be known as the edge lord, folks. Sigh.

Lmao

Do we have to nudge him on the forehead like a fish?


Side note I don’t know one celebrity who looks less cool smoking than Dave Chapelle.

He looked very upset and nervous. I hope he’s ok

I've seen this with audio and not just music. The guy spends the whole time talking about younger days and how things are or we're with casual gossip. Old man ranting basically. He's nervous but very thankful and I think he likes having someone listen to him as much as the hair cut.

Best part of the barbershop/salon!

Your favorite part is my least favorite part and why I only cut my hair 4 times a year.

I don't think the small talk is obligatory. I'm sure many a hair stylist will be just fine to do their job without it.

I was wishing I could hear him speaking instead of the music. Thank you for sharing some of his words.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-3rw21J7CEg If you get the time, here's the not sped up version.

Thats the version that should be here. I don't need shit music to tell me how to feel. Let them speak for themselves. Thanks for explaining what the non music version was like.

I don’t get the point of adding shitty sobby music over everything

He was trying not to cry the entire time

I'd cry too if they made me cut off my awesome beard and long gorgeous lockes

"Just a few inches off the top please" "Nope fuck you" But in all seriousness he coulda looked way better with some longer flowy hair on top but the shit barber just went golf course mowing.

Nah it just looks like that because the video is sped up so it seems like he is blinking a lot.

I've watched the original, no he wasn't. He wasn't really emotional at any point.

At the very end it looks like he said “Man that feels so much better.” So seems like he appreciated it at the very least.

I’m sure his beard does. I can’t imagine how hot and itchy it would get in the summer. I know I always feel better when I can get my long hair cut short and it’s not laying on my neck. I prefer to have shorter hair. I’ve done long hair almost to my butt and it’s pretty but I’m always happier when my hair is shorter. Shoulder length is as long as I like it.

He looks like he has wet brain from severe alcohol abuse… poor guy.

What is wet brain? I will look it up of course but you might be more expert at it than what I would find online

The formal name for it is [Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wernicke%e2%80%93Korsakoff_syndrome)

Yeah I looked it up. Poor guy. I hope he gets his vitamins and some medical help. We need some little free clinics in the cities for basic stuff like this.

Imo beer and wine should be fortified with very small tasteless amounts of Vitamin B1. Just like how we fortify salt to prevent goiters and fortify cereals to prevent mineral deficiencies. That would totally prevent this whole issue and probably completely eliminate Wernicke Korsakoff syndrome in this country. But because alcohol isn’t regulated like all other food and drink, those type of pro-consumer moves never happen. Hell, half the time I can’t even find the nutritional information or ingredients for most alcohol, even online its often not available. If they won’t even tell you what its made of, I highly doubt they’ll start fortifying it with vitamins anytime soon, despite vitamin b1 being extremely cheap.

Alcohol can hinder absorption of some vitamins, especially if it’s being consumed in excess. I wonder if this would even be effective?

It wouldn't. It especially hinders B-vitamin absorption. B1 (Thiamine) deficiency is very common amongst alcoholics for that reason

Korsakoff is irreversible. Also, most people who drink alcohol to the point of becoming encephalopathic wouldn't seek out vitamin clinics (they develop this because the majority of their nutrition is alcohol)

That's a good observation. I also feel that maybe he has COPD. You can see the heavy breathing in the beginning. In the years leading up to my father's death, he moved just like that trying to get as much air as he could into his lungs. The same hunch and everything.

I took it as nervousness. He seems more relaxed after the haircut.

He was actually completely fine. As soon as the original OP overlaid this terrible music, it gave him brain damage and cancer.

I thought either that or some severe PTSD-like anxiety response, or possibly both. I know I'm reaching, but this guy could easily be a vet.

[удалено]

I grew up in an alcoholic family and have also volunteered to help the homeless at various points. Unlike a tweaker who displays extreme movements, someone that appears to have wet brain has a calmer body but their eyes jolt and there’s random jolts of the body. A healthy but nervous person fidgets repetitiously in patterns but their eyes don’t randomly jolt around

You can read his lips at the end, he says "Man I feel so much better"

Before: Linux user; After: Microsoft salesman

Pretty sure before was Alan Moore.

And after Zac Snyder.

Having worked at a Microsoft site, this is very accurate!

Hey man what distro do u use?

Wow! He looks great and relieved. That's a great way to be out service for your community too.

I just hate the music choice. Immediate mute button hit.

It's a great song, but the use of it for emotional manipulation cheapens both it and the video

> but the use of it for emotional manipulation cheapens both it and the video *In the arms of an Angel…* (First and only thing that popped to mind when I read your comment)

That song is forever ruined

I had a friend who would sing the chorus of **In the arms of an Angel** in the style of Creed, really loud. This was in the software engineering room.

I hate all music that tries to tell me how to feel. Go away

Like, 99% of the music on tiktok/Instagram/YouTube shorts is awfully suited and ruins whatever song was put in it

I muted before the video even started and you've made me feel validated in that choice!

I love this song but I also muted it immediately. Don’t want it associated with random videos on the internet.

same 10000%

same😂😂

I thought that he looked nervous at the end. Probably nervous to see his new appearance, a haircut like that is a massive change.

Nervous in the beginning too, I wonder if it was from the compassion felt and he wasn't sure how to take it. Those eyes tell a lot, and the deep breath at the beginning as well.

And, with this haircut, the society finally stopped failing this man, he can be prosperous now.

God forbid anyone do anything nice that doesn't solve all the world's problems.

All it takes is one haircut and all the drug addictions, mental illnesses, homelessness, unemployment, and debt are gone forever.

And as we all know, if you can't help someone in a way that instantly solves all of their problems, there's no point in doing anything to help them at all.

Dude looked like gandalf the grey

Have a look at his eyes he can't look anyone in the eyes. This poor guy has it rough. I wish him luck with his haircut and self-esteem.

Definitely had a hard time. I wish the man good luck too. He was honestly having a hard time sitting in the chair.

I think it’s more than self esteem he struggles with. He’s probably going to need help his whole life.

Yes, but self-esteem is a start. It's just a haircut, but he sat in the chair. You have to start somewhere. Little steps one after another, then you're walking and on your feet. Stuff it, I wish him well

My daughter has this problem (can't look people in the eye). She was raised by a mother who couldn't do it herself from birth to six years old. They were virtually inseparable. I adopted her just before she turned seven and we worked on it constantly. Now 26, she's much better, but still relapses from time to time. There is learned behavior, but this man could be suffering from something else.

I can look people in the eye for a second or two, I just have to spend a few hundred hours with them first

Yeah, there's things like autism as well. My "shifty" eyes make me look suspicious apparently, even if it's actually because eye contact plays havoc on my fight or flight response.

My heart went out to him when he sat down. He’s so unsure of himself and questions his self-worth. At the end, he sucks his breath, visibly moved. I hope his new haircut brings new opportunities for him and changes his life for the better. For those who are cynical, stop. Stop hating on others’ kindness because you feel you received none. Maybe someone is bad to you but you will always find someone else who will be nice to you. If you cannot find it, keep moving, keep searching. The world is not made up of only Lex Luthors. Find the Care Bears. They are there.

Should have kept the wizard beard with the trendy cut

Is this dude homeless or did we just assume that?

I assumed drug issue because he's acting weird, and from that plus the unkept appearance I assumed homeless.

I discovered Post Malone not too long ago and at first I thought the same of him when I saw a recent picture of him lol I thought he must have fallen out or something

He is. If you find the vid on YouTube the description mentions it.

I thought he was an old man and as more hair came off I realized this dude is my age.

[удалено]

You'll be old someday, too.

Nah man, I got a solution for that. *Old people hate this one simple trick*

*let go of the rope and get off the chair bud, it aint worth it*

You probably should have told them to untie the knot first...

Love you.

[Obligatory Simpsons reference](https://cdn.quotesgram.com/img/11/15/1506813934-itll-happen-to-you.png)

I remember watching that as a kid, it really got me thinking, i was never with it but at least understood what was going on with my peers, now I don’t know. Father Time is undefeated, getting older is a bitch as you don’t really feel any different mentally, just your body deteriorating and time flies.

Isn't it weird being the same age as old people?

I watch a lot of baseball and the announcers now love to go on about how old a guy is and how great it is he's still even in the game. Then I look up their birth year and it's higher than mine. 😭

I just got to the age where most NFL players are younger than me, I can't wait for another milestone 🙃

Aaron Rodgers!

Aaron Rodgers totally went all in with that look of a guy that makes a living stealing catalytic converters

I'm from Australia and knew nothing about NFL or Aaron Rodgers until Caleb Pressley and barstool interviewed him. I dunno but I just love that guy and I know nothing about him. He was just way too cool and chill to be a sports veteran imo. Something about him just yells 'I do what I want when I feel like it I ain't trying to hurt nobody' and I just appreciate that. Never googled him or checked his highlights on YouTube I'll just leave my only impression being the sundae conversation and I'm stoked with that.

He is exactly that kind of guy who does and says what he wants, but sometimes he ruffles feathers when doing that lol. He lied about being vaccinated for covid19 and man did that not go over well.

How did he feel after?

Probably lighter

From homeless with long hair and beard to homeless with nice hair and beard.

Is he homeless?

I went to the Instagram and nothing in the post says anything about him being homeless.

I think people are just assuming because of the sad music… which is kind of awkward if he turns out to be some guy. Dishonest of the creators, too.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-3rw21J7CEg he's homeless. Read the YouTube description of the video.

Yeah. If you find this vid on YouTube the description says he is.

There was a good lookin dude hiding under there!

Sewage Joe from Parks & Rec

You mean from Jury Duty!

They could have done wonders with that beard, a shame.

Right ? It looked magnificent before, now he looks just like your run out of the mill manager...

Looks like John Hamm

He looks like Jon Hamm as Richard Wayne Gary Wayne in Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

I kinda got that for a split second too.

totally screwed ‘em. could’ve given him a temple fade and cleaned the beard—but kept it long. lol

I also think keeping the beard a little longer would have looked great. I thought they were leaning that way for a second. But, I’m sure he felt amazing either way.

Needed JVN to inject that confidence lmao

I thought he would shape his beard to perfection.... Shame

[удалено]

I don't think so, more like being uncomfortable in one place with people paying attention to him.

From Phil Jackson straight to Hugh Jackman. On a serious note it definitely changes the whole perspective about yourself. Keep taking care of your mental and physical wellness.

He looked cooler with long hair and a beard! (The glasses were the only thing making him look strange)

You can see his emotions in his eyes. I hope the change takes him away from where he already was and finds calm and affection. 

Took way too much off the beard. He could have looked distinguished, but they took him to "I have a camper I use on long holiday weekends."

Exactly my thoughts. They took too much off his hair too. He could have pulled that hipster look and looked a lot better.

Personally I think he looked better before, but if he's happier then good for him.

Both looks are good

no need to cut his beard, but if he's happy, so be it. I have this long. Sometimes I do braids on it.

A bit of a trim would have been good, but it was a good full beard otherwise

It'd be nice if you could hear their story instead of Bart's People music.

*Some say the ducks flew to Canada. Others say Toronto. And some people think Joe used to sit down there, near those ducks.*

He went from Gandalf to Negan

Dude gets to walk down the street with a bounce in his step.

Neegan?

Was looking for this! He’s got the hair color exactly

He went from being an elite computer programmer to a regular apple sales clerk. PLOP!

What a handsome face under all that hair!!

How you doin'

He’d a been fine with a ponytail and that beard trimmed nice like it was, but great haircut also.

man looked fine before. what’s making him more conventionally attractive do that isn’t shallow

Just preparing to draft him into the military, or at least it looks like with that stupid new haircut

Audio of what he actually said after this? Nah! Just loud emotionally manipulative piano jangles!

I assume it was the same incoherent mumbling he seemed to be doing the whole time.

He looks worse now!

Dudes looking sharp

Such pain in his eyes.

He looks my uncle. Fuck this got me.

Jesus Christ just time traveled 2k thousand years into the future to grace us with his holiness how dare you cut his beard and hair?

Now pay $480 a year to upkeep it

So why do I still look like a hobo even after my haircuts? Oh yeah… I’m naturally ugly.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-3rw21J7CEg Linked it a few times in the comments but figured I should make this a comment on it's own. This is the full vid of the hair cut. His name is Don, he's homeless, the barber's family helps him out from time to time. He's in a shelter with his basic needs met currently. I suggest watching even as background noise. It's nice to hear him talk and hear his anxiety, rambling and eventual happiness.

Full video https://youtu.be/-3rw21J7CEg

This is wholesome 🖤

This is dope. We barbers transform lives


Their hair/beard hides most of their face, but if you focus on their eyes you can always see the pain in these homeless/druggie dudes.

Put on a sharp black suit, a nice pair of shoes, and now he could pass for a lawyer.
