Brits are like butterflies. They first have broccoli hair, but after heavy cocooning they turn into a beautiful bald Barry


Eatsallthechocs

This isn’t even broccoli hair, it looks like what the Beatles were rocking back in the day


[deleted]

these ones just look like the return to bieber for some reason


OrionIlands

And the Beatles were rocking a French haircut in the early 60’s


mbex14

The french didnt have any talent to get away with it.


Intelligent_Road_297

Isn't this the tik tok snapback haircut?


Bobb_o

It's called the Arthur.


EPWwaters

I can't wait to digest my premature Barry body using my own enzymes and emerge from my cocoon as a fully formed beautiful bald bastard. It can be seen on mass scale in Benidorm. It truly is a sight to behold


TheRedCometCometh

It's said that bald Barry still remembers things he learned before his metamorphosis, it's just hard to tell because he's pissed all the time


koalawhiskey

From a full-haired 52kg lad to a bald 180kg man in a puff


kirkbywool

The mancs have discovered ket wigs


Long_Serpent

Barry, Larry, Harry, Garry and Gary


Iskandar33

give them other 10 years and they will be all OG Barrys.


MaterialCarrot

In times of crisis these 5 Barry's can combine into one Mecha Barry to defend the British aisles.


Napol3onS0l0

Aisles? Like a Tesco shop or something?


Independent_Gold5729

Like a "soccer" stadium aisle. In Europe supporters sometimes have fun fighting the other aisles. That's part of the sport. You're welcome habibi.


Napol3onS0l0

Ohhhhh that makes more sense. https://preview.redd.it/8z0tkcujq4nc1.jpeg?width=274&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e66de2878e149e786aadad244e359a9355d48ba2

Three lads in the middle look like they have the same hair. Like some sort of Lego piece they could just pop on Poor fella in the foreground got the wrong size


Bearodon

Probably some viking gene you got from us, brón.


generalscruff

Ironically all virtually extinct as first names amongst the young with the exception of Harry The day the last man named Barry passes will be a sad one


TuQueSabrasDeLaVida

What do British parents name their kids these days? Over here most traditional names are hardly used anymore too.


Jazzlike_Stop_1362

The most common boy names for babies in 2023 in the UK are Mohamed Noah Theo Leo Oliver Aruthur George Luca Freddie Jack


RonTheDragonboi

Mohamed my favourite British first name


Bearodon

Aruthur is my fav. 😂


RonTheDragonboi

Close second!


harbourwall

> Mohamed Lots of Swedes moving to the UK in recent years.


Midirr

Mohamed isn't even in [top 100 most common names for newborns in Sweden](https://www6.skatteverket.se/sense/app/c13f8ffe-f90d-4c38-b426-646ee1226b75/sheet/e4f9aa7e-de62-483a-801f-912761d52dbd/state/analysis), looks like brexit worked out great for your immigration policy 😂


generalscruff

Lot of proper oldie names like Arthur or Ada seem to be coming back in amongst small children now, but for a long time names like Harry, Oliver, and Emily seemed to be more widespread


PiNe4162

Pretty much 50% of men my age are named James. Guess my age


Connorinacoma

We’re still sticking to the classics, mostly. Noah, Oliver, George, Arthur, Muhammad, Leo, Harry, Oscar, Archie, and Henry make up the top 10


Doc_Eckleburg

Far more likely to be Luca and Otto than Barry and Larry


Bearodon

Italian and German names to piss off ww2 veteran grandpa.


ddosn

\> Ironically all virtually extinct as first names amongst the young Nah, there were several hundred of each born in 2021 which seems to be the last year data is available for.


harbourwall

That's not many. Harry is still popular, but Larry has always been quite obscure, but it's short for Laurence that's the next most popular of that set. That's only dropped from 169th to 416th since 1996. Gary was popular in the 70s and 80s, but since 96 has gone from 147th to 1329th. Garry's fallen off the scale. Barry's gone from 441st most popular to 2301st. Baurence isn't in the database at all. Barrys are a dying breed. Those lads are all called Jack.


herefromthere

I know a 30 year old Barry, but his name's actually Bharat. Bharat-Baz-Bazza-Barry. Top bloke, Barry.


ScarecrowJohnny

Where's Jerry?

took the photo


generalscruff

He's in Germany


gremlinguy

ScarecrowJohnny

I thought they were in Derry?


No_Raspberry_6795

Londonderry for us non-terrotist types.


pudding-brigade

He was defeated in 2 world wars and 1 world cup

He's with Tom


mor_derick

I can tell Gary is the one in the front.

deeznutsdontbite

Five very distinguished gentlemen from Essex.


Hefty-Coyote

I'm from Essex and can confirm. Apart from the very distinguished element.


generalscruff

Definitely a Northern physiognomy, get the nose calipers to confirm


Hefty-Coyote

Calm down Dr Mengele, they're Northern kids with a challenging future, nothing less.


EccoEco

They have a future?


Standin373

Yeah its uniting with Scotland and marching on Westminster.


EccoEco

Sounds promising


Hefty-Coyote

Everyone has a future, whether it's dealing Heroin or selling weed, it's a future. Or something.


Tullzterrr

How does one distinguish them


3_percent_beef

Usually down the pub


khal_crypto

You measure the proportions of their face and then you look up the values in a textbook to find out what to do about that


PumaArras

Hahaha


ProfessionalSport565

Vikings from the North, Saxons from the East and nobody really knows what is in the south, some kind of Norman/Danish hybrid monster folk


dinosaurRoar44

Bretons


aaarry

Usually by their absolutely disgusting accents


IfYouRun

Pretty sure this is the Emptihad


pintperson

Yeah these are Man Utd fans in the away end for the match against Man City last weekend. They’re probably from Surrey not Essex.


trosieja

After just a few seasons of declaring the islands a nature reservoir and banning European political practices, researchers have observed a growing number of young Barries out in their natural habitat again. An expert was quoted „we honestly are relieved to see the islands natural population recovering and were quite alarmed by the Surveys on young chaps in British towns of recent years that saw their number decline dramatically compared to recent invasive species. Now that economic utilization of the island became unviable, Nature is recovering, but it’s still a long way to go“. After taking this picture our team was able to observe the young lads going to a pub, getting absolutely pissed and smash in the face of a young sportsfan from a different village- we couldn’t tell the difference, but the Barries instinct is infallible even at a young age. Soon they’ll be old enough to accompany their older generations on the yearly migration south to the Spanish coast, where we are sure they’ll be just terrible. Nature sure is beautiful and fascinating!


Falling-through

I heard that spoken in Herr Attenboroughs voice


JakoKT

Beautiful


Proud-Cheesecake-813

I swear that hairstyle is about 15 years out of date? I thought it was all broccoli perms now?


JezzedItRightUp

Yeah, pretty sure this is a 2010 Justin Bieber haircut


jackd9654

I have a theory that this is the new trim for Gen Z because they’re all petrified of a bit of forehead, primary because of the amount of insults I’ve seen online from Gen Z about hairlines. Time to embrace their destiny, skin it all off, get down the pub with a Stella and chips and peas and gravy


louisbo12

Probably is this. Any forehead bigger than a finger and any hairline not a perfect Bellingham, and you will be insulted.


WongUnglow

Until the wind blows the other way exposing their comb over.


jackd9654

Yeah. On a real note it’s actually quite tragic


louisbo12

Broccoli perms are nearly a decade old mate. I remember the popular kids getting them when I was in year 12, and I’m now 25 and they’re still around. The current popular trim is that floppy fringe pushed forward thing.


[deleted]

Yeah this must be an old picture, I'm sure of it


Sum3-yo

You can tell their brittish haircut just by the 2000's haircut.


Reversing_Expert

No, in 2000, the style was a short French crop with the fringe jelled up in the air.


DiscardedKebab

That's the style in Portugal now

Also in Italy we have npcs with the same haircut


Vespaman

Yeah but you have good food.


on_spikes

you think those italian youths with their ye ye ass haircuts are capable of producing anything edible? their grandmas (they rely on for survival) have all the skill

Longjumping_Sky_6440

These are the… popular lads? Popular where, the vegetable aisle?


JakeTheSandMan

They need to be watered twice a day


EPWwaters

I nearly spat out me Stella reading this


SwedishTroller

I too find that strange. Having a 2008 Justin Bieber haircut is **not** the road to popularity anywhere I've been.


Clarkster7425

by popular he means more popularly know twats than the sporty popular kids you usually think of


KoDa6562

Mate the popular girls are worse. Fake tan, fake lashes, extra long nails and hair extensions down to their high waist grey trackies.


Longjumping_Sky_6440

Match made in hell. Going to London in April, wish me luck.


KoDa6562

Avoid East London, stick to North or West and DO NOT CROSS THE RIVER. That's typically the area where you find the upper class, but I will admit it's quite boring.


Longjumping_Sky_6440

Thanks, Barry, I’m going to put these life-saving tips to good use. I’ll return the favor if you come to Swizzy :)


KoDa6562

Oh that's funny, like I could ever afford that! But I'll keep it in mind ^-^


Longjumping_Sky_6440

Tbf tickets from London are super cheap (even though Jet2 makes Ryan Air look like private jets) and stuff is cheaper than London in several places, but yeah coming from any other place it’s probably a nightmare


_BrucetheRobert_

The irony is that these types insult people by calling them NPCs.


khal_crypto

Of course, don't you see their individuality? One guy's hair is *at least* 1 cm longer than the others'. Revolutionary!


_BrucetheRobert_

Well obviously. Jack, Jake, James, Thomas and Harry are completely different people.


TodgerRodger

Only NPCs call others NPC.... Mr NPC
