A Tribute To Earnie McCracken’s Comb-Over

Today, we present to you a tribute; not to a man, but to his comb-over. In the world of bald, there are many ways in which one can mask his failing follicles, but the hardest one to pull off might be the comb-over. A shaved head? Easy and respectable. A toupee? Obvious, expensive, and a strange admittance that you’re bald and trying to hide it. Plugs? Let’s not even start. A comb-over though; it says that you’re bald and not too proud, but not concerned enough to spend the money. It also says that you think you can pull it off, and you usually can’t. However, Earnie “Big Earn” McCracken pulled it off in Kingpin, and even as it all came undone during the final showdown on the lanes, he still thought he could pull it off, and for that reason, he did. Yes, I know, it looke ridiculous, but that’s what made it so great; and yes, I also know he’s a fictional character, but I also drink Nyquil in the morning sometimes to get me though the day, so yeah, he’s fictional, but his comb-over’s awesomeness is totally real.

Bill Murray: Bald, And Cooler Than Us All

Bill Murray has been losing his hair since about forever. I can’t remember a movie role, whether it be Caddyshack, or Ghostbusters, or even his receding mullet-like thing in Scrooged, where Murray wasn’t showing signs of hairline recesion. I also can’t remember a movie role that he wasn’t awesome in, which is why I love Bill Murray, the man never let his hairline hold him back. He’s never been a “looker” so to speak, but that’s never stopped him from dominating every bit of screen time he’s ever been given. Making him an even better baldie, is the fact that he had one of, if not the greatest comb over ever in Kingpin. In real life, it seems that he’s had the typical pattern of baldness: recession at the corners of the forehead, followed by a bald spot in the middle and then a total recession of the hairline. Bill Murray probably hasn’t even noticed this though, as he’s too busy being awesome.

Here's a young Bill
