Transcript:
Pig: What's it with guys wearing super tight jeans now?
Goat: It's just a trend. Some guys think it makes them look attractive.
Stephen: Hey, guys...how goes it?
Goat: The trend needs to end now.
Pig: Please change.
Stephen: Got a crowbar and grease?
So unlike women, the question we men ask isn’t “Do these jeans make my butt look big?” It’s “Do these jeans make my package look big?” And my answer is, “Well, a good snowfall helps, but it doesn’t really make Switzerland any bigger.”
I think this is the fourth time tight jeans have been in style of guys since I was a kid. I remember my dad making remarks about overly slacks back in the 1950s. Always in style for women, though.
fashion is useless. Remember, spandex everything? or, corsets? Plus, a lot of our clothes is not made in the usa. bangladesh, vietnam, honduras, indonesia. etc… shirts, jeans, pants, ties, hats, underwear, shoes, socks, zippers, purses, etc…all made with slave labor. we all want cheap clothes. clothing companies want profit. labor is extremely cheap in developing nations, and prisons.
I always thought it funny, and a little sexy, to watch a woman writhe around on the floor, trying to get her jeans up, over, and fastened. End result was worth it, though.
Guy on the beach asks his friend how to be popular with women. “Put a potato in your bathing suit.” Next day, he says, “It didn’t work. They ran from me.” “Well, put it in the front this time.”
As a gay man I am no fan of skinny jeans. I do like tight jeans on a guy, but skinny jeans and tight jeans are not the same thing, especially when skinny jeans are worn with the belt line half way down the wearer’s arse. It just makes the guy look like he got into his younger brother’s (or sisters’s) wardrobe. I had to spend two hours at an Apple store yesterday to get my iPhone fixed, so I was exposed to plenty of skinny jeans (and thick rimmed glasses, and stupid hipster beards, and man buns, etc…). It was not a pleasant experience.
Everything old is new again; Men’s Jeans Department.
A long time ago, when I was youngish and slim, say late ’60s or early ’70s, I bought one pair of tight, stretch jeans. One only. That was experiment enough…. I apologize to anyone who may have known me then….
When are women going to stop wearing those hideous leggings? Fat, skinny,short or tall they look revolting one everyone. Do you realize you look disgusting or don’t you care? Maybe you all have a magic mirror that reflects back what nobody else can see. I wouldn’t wear those at gunpoint. Why don’t you just put on panty hose and stroll around?

Your boys will thank you if you wear loose fitting jeans.

crowbar and grease? more like hedge clippers (though be careful with the noodle) and a flame-thrower

The trend needs to end before all the blood stops circulating to the brain!

The way those “skinny jeans” pull across the backside makes most guys look like they are carrying a load back there.
Lamberger over 8 years ago
I remember moving from Hawaii to Northern California in the Summer of 1964 and seeing all the high school guys wearing pegged pants.
scpandich over 8 years ago
The only time I wear tight pants is when it’s time for me to lose weight.

Some of us are actually skinny… I ride in them and baggies flap too much.

Removing those jeans might become a group effort.

This would be the perfect time for Jef the Cyclist to make an appearance. … and also to cue up Little Jimmy Rushing’s “Berkeley Campus Blues.”

You’ll need a pair of shears. That’s how they took off my cycling bib-shorts and jersey at the hospital.

I can’t stop laughing. Men are fashion victims too. I’m remembering the “SuperFly” era. Skinny jeans are a rehash of the 60’s
