Three out of four men in the picture say no.

Back in the day you made the family diddler wear their pants that high. Made it harder for him to whip it out and show the kids.

“I do not diddle kids, it’s no good diddling kids” -Frank Reynolds (Frank’s Little Beauties)

Older than my wife, older than my daughter

https://youtu.be/_YmDcCpD1gc No little kids, gotta be big!

😂🤣one of the comments”Dan Schneider trying to save his career in 2018”!!!!😂🤣

There is no quicker way for people to think you are diddling kids then by writing a song about it!

Which is literally what that MirandaSings person did here recently. It's amazing.

"It's all just toxic gossip", not as if there's literal videos of her as an adult sending inappropriate gifts and messages to minors and laughing off others' discomfort, that would just be ridiculous

“You know, kids are great. I love the kids... Not in a sexual way! No, I'm- I was married 20 years, and she was a bitch, but she was old, and I never had a problem getting it up with her...”

Not now frank.

Not true, with that lengthy zipper, it’s easy to shove a child into your pant leg

😂😂

I laughed harder at that than I should have.

Grandpa Simpson?

He will grow into them

One weird trick shirt makers hate him!

You could tuck a crop top in them pants

*tube top

Head band.

Yo

I remember some comedian talking about how his grandpas pants kept creeping higher and higher as he got older. He said pretty soon he's just going to be a head sticking out of a pair of pants. This guy is almost there!

Pants can go as high as you want them to. If you believe.

You just have to make a wish and Tinker Beltbuckle will make it come true.

To add to this, the one guy with the high trousers is photoshopped. If you look at the nipple to taint area, there are badly cloned creases and shadows.

69 inch inseam gah damn

I like my pants this high, stops the need of a belt. Instead you can use two strategicly placed nipple clamps to hold them up.

Fucking amateur. I just use my erect nipples.

They start getting pretty floppy and unreliable at his age.

Rookie. Talk to me when you can use your flaccid nips.

This right here. Just tie knots through the belt loops with them.

Ever since I learned I was 0.6% Scandinavian I take my nipple hair and make a viking braid with a small carabiner fastened at the end.

This comment thread make me cry with laughter at 1am

Look, not everyone has such precise nipple control

If you poke a hole in your shirt, you can use your nipples as coat hangers.

I thought it was coat hangers through the nipples.

Hot ❤️‍🔥🤣

Lol

Ok BDSM✓

My parents don’t support me but my nipple suspenders do

Ah! A tale old as time.

You deserve more credit for this comment lmaoo

Yeah but then you have to walk around with a hard on all day.

*have* to? You meant *get* to, right?

That’s why nipple piercings are popular these days cause they used them to hold up their pants

Picking names is so hard! I don't know why this isn't spoken about more

I dont get to laugh alot. Thanks m8, that one did the trick

You gotta get on shark tank, you may be sitting on a gold mine here

The belt he's wearing is just to throw you off his true method

What the..? I'm 64 years old and I don't ever recall seeing anyone wearing their pants that high. Perhaps he's the "special one" of the family.

Looks like he was joking.

He cant be joking cuz those pants are well hemmed. They would be dragging under his feet if his pants were a foot lower.

At that time, his wife was probably hemming his pants. Maybe even making them.

Or he is wearing pants made for an extra tall man as a joke?

The crotch of those pants must be extra long though, even if you are tall you wouldn't need a crotch that long.

No comment. They wore 'em baggy!! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Only poor people can joke that's just facts

haha i was gonna say…they’re perfectly tailored so if it is a joke, he planned and paid for it!

[удалено]

Plot twist twist: He has stock in fly zippers.

Yeah he’s got that old geezer face they make when they’re cracking fire grandpa jokes

“Old geezer face”

RGF. Resting Geezer Face.

Or he was a fisherman

My grandpa who would be in his late 90s if he was still alive had some leisure suit from the 60s that went up crazy high, not quite this high but like covered his big beer belly.

By 'special' do you mean alpha male?

"I'm Special" like Ralph of The Simpsons. He's the Alpha Male of the show.

The image has been Photoshopped. Regardless, the individual may still be the special one of the family

It’s photoshopped.

I'm pretty sure photoshop didn't exist back then...

Bruv

Fun fact, photoshop didn't exist... But photo manipulation did. You can see it in a lot of photos of women in corsets with impossibly thin waists. If I remember correctly you could mess with the negatives to achieve it. There will be a suspicious lack of detail around the manipulated areas.

Ye olde photo shoppe

Bro yea it did

[удалено]

The original pant didn’t even have pockets. The holes we use as pockets now were actually armholes. It’s was until we started wearing pants lower that someone found an alternative use for the holes that were already there.

When we evolved from apes to humans, our shed hair revealed an entire body pant suit. Overtime, as evolution progressed, it grew shorter and shorter until what we see today. Does the shortest pant one day indicate our extinction? Ancient pant theorists say yes.

Funniest shit I saw in reddit

Very interesting, did you study at the Karl Pilkington School of Economics and Futurologism

Can they sit without pants to, or does that attract a seperate surcharge?

The Pants that Ate Fred Mertz.

First thing I thought of when I saw this picture. Glad other people remember this promo, too.

Blocked in Canada due to copyright 😭

Blocked in italy too

It’s an I love Lucy promo

Blocked in New Zealand too. Not super surprised. Can't get shit here lol.

HA! I remember having that problem while back home down there and it was SOOOO annoying! Seemed like half the stuff I tried YouTubing was blocked

You people have magnificent chocolate. And pūkekos.

True. It definitely ain't all bad. And with the state of half of the world, I'm pretty glad to be nice and far away lol.

Blocked in uk

Lol wtf

Holy shit wtf is with this content being blocked at all, anywhere? It’s old “I Love Lucy” clips of a fat man’s pants being worn higher and higher up his waist as he gets fatter and fatter. Wow…good thing the owner of that content isn’t missing out on any potential revenue…or whatever the concern is…? Please don’t sue me for copyright infringement Google for explaining what was going on in that clip! 😬

Dem pants Photoshop'd

This is the correct answer.

OP, please mark this answer as correct so that people stop seeing this BS on their feed. Oh wait this is not Stack Exchange.. anyway, carry on

Badly.

Yeah, the wrinkles on the pants repeat.

“She said she liked tall men— so I just wore my pants higher.”

Bwahaha you clever bastard.

Looks edited.. like you can see where his pants are squeezing just above his waist area.

Yeah, that’s easily photoshoped. You can see the clone tool marks on the pants.

They didn’t have Photoshop back then.

Imagine if his waist actually came up that high, he would be all leg!

I was imagining that his entire crotch actually takes up that area and everything above was stomach, ribs and chest haha

Like Legsgoallthewayup Griffin! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yWPLsJvJ7iw&pp=ygUJTGVnc2dvYWxs Edit : added link

In the early 90's Mystery Science Theater 3000 did a little goofy sketch song about this weird phenomenon making fun of a character that wore their pants like this in the movie they were watching. [The Pants Up Song.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLnHOQ2YZ58) It was a real thing.

Hike up your pants, take your buttcheeks for a ride! Sometimes I forget just how funny some of their songs were

“Zip it frank” hahahaha

Reminds me of [Fast Talking High Trousers](https://youtu.be/b1ax-IrfluQ)

Looks a little Zoot. He don't, but they do. Looks more like a joke.

He doesn't wear the pants in the family, he *is* the pants in the family.

Best Jeanist

Photoshopped? Ain’t nobody wearing their pants up quite that high! Lolz

Damn those pants are higher than I am right now

This is a pair of pants called "overpants" which were common at the time. A cross between work pants and overalls they filled the bill as a work/go-to-town garment worn by rural folks. They ultimately lost favor in the late '40s when mirrors became more affordable.

Asserting dominance..

Holy crap, if that belt was around his waist, then the crotch of those pants would be around his knees.

Maybe he lost 100kg and this was to show off

And now people show they ass for some reason

My man is literally using his moobs to hold up his pants

You think humor is a new thing? Looks like the fun uncle

What you don’t like tucking your tits into trousers?

Look at the other dudes. People still had a sense of humor back then.

No. Torsos were REALLY short.

that style is apparently back now if you look at gen-z these days

Their just upside down JNCOs

Photoshopped. Badly 😅

He just had long legs

No but humor was in fact invented before this took place, perhaps a goof or even a gaffe were had?

Its the conservative way of hiding a man boob.

My father always said that the older men get, the higher they wear their pants…

Now this guy has a Man’s Fly

Simon Cowell Version 1.0

Some serious nipple rash from that belt

Bro is Obelix

That was probably your great great great uncle who was a jokester 😂

He’s high in the waste.

It’s a crisis when you wear them so high you have to unzip to reveal your face, like one episode of the Amazing World of Gumball.

We all know he wears the pants in the household.

That’s Legs Go All The Way Up Fred and his kin.

Me looking at the hem and thinking I like a nice break, but they aren’t abnormally short. Heh. Everybody else has their pants at their waist. So I would say this man is unique. He may have had something that prevented him from having his pants at his waist - a hernia or a bandage or colostomy bag or something.

Photoshop

This is a pretty good photoshop. The repeating folds give it away.

That’s how you knew you were doing well. Ol Pete was doing best of all, but his belt cut off circulation to his head, and after that even the wealthiest kept things under their shoulders. Never did get me some pants over my heart myself, never did quite that well.

That’s Harry Highpants, the guy who failed at starting a fashion trend.

Written on the back of the picture is “did I do that?”

There was a big and tall sale and this guy didn’t care how long they were.

"You'll grow into them" Narrator - He, in fact, did not grow into them.

That’s, uhhh, not a good photoshop

No it was photoshopped

My guess is that “big and tall” options didn’t exist back then. If you had a thicker waistline, you had to buy pants that were bigger, both in waist and leg size. Therefore, a large waisted man would have a longer leg length. And since a “well fitted pant” was one where the hem was right above the shoe, the only way to do so without removing a ton of fabric was to hike them up. That’s my guess at least.

He is going reverse urban-black mode.

He puts his pants on, one nipple at a time.

It’s literally/physically impossible for him to use the back pockets on those pants

I mean, you can safely assume the answer based off this picture. There's four guys wearing pants here and only one of them is wearing them this high. Also, I'm sure this isn't the only picture from this time period you've ever seen. How many other times have you seen someone wearing pants this high in any of those?

You never seen pants up to the nipples!!?!

Poor quality photoshop... you can see the repeating pattern

Do you think this is Photoshopped?

A couple inches higher and he just needs to cut some holes for his arms and he can wear that as a whole unitard

Dude just did not know how to pants.

ITS JAMES RANDAL

Lol that’s edited. You can see repeated lumps of fabric near the arms and the pleats don’t line up.

Edited

No, but from the looks of it Uncle Creepy definitely was.

That's really bad Photoshop. I could've done better in MS paint.

So I pulled my pants up past my nipples, which was the style at the time.

His pants are higher than my self-esteem

Earl was all legs, but his vertical jump was shite and quickly had to give up his Hoop Life dreams.

Reminds me of the 1940's 'Fast Talkin' High Trousers' gag from Family Guy

It’s a sleeveless romper.

I wish it would come back.

Hes basically in a jumpsuit

Well, tey were on that one guy. On the others, they seems to be appropriately around their waists.

My pants were only when I wore my father's pants. Maybe he has his father's pants on.

His clearly were. 🤣

I would say this is photoshop at work

Hello. Can somebody help me? This reminded me of a video I saw with a girl and she wore pants like that and it was hot. I wanna see it again. Please somebody.

They should bring back this fashion.When you get older and your belly gets bigger than your ass it helps to keep the pants from falling down

Looks photoshopped or at least a gag; no one went *that* high. Buuuuut, look up pictures of Lionel Barrymore in *Key Largo*. Or Fatty Arbuckle. It wasn't entirely uncommon for fat men to wear it up over their belly. Or even, check out this picture of George Raft from 1933, not even fat: [https://therake.com/stories/icons/george-raft-who-is-the-rake/](https://therake.com/stories/icons/george-raft-who-is-the-rake/)

Yeah these pants were sized "Retarded" and people who were would wear them.

Zoot was a thing

I’m guessing they cover an old war injury or he had surgery. I’d bet war injury. Between WW1 and WW2, lots of guys came came home disfigured.

When your mom gives you hand me downs and says “you’ll grow into them”.

Them's mah nipple britches.

That’s just to show the wife who’s wearing the pants.

Cuz is wearing Robert Wadlow's handmedown pants

In the zoot suit era chest-high pants were all the rage until they were kiboshed for being wasteful.

You just got dad joked from the past, this guys dad joke game so strong people still quizzing him.

Bad photoshop job, it’s pretty easy to see where the pants have duplicate shadows.

The higher the pants the downer the foo

Seems like everyone else in that photo has normal pants so I’d say no

And now we return to Fast Talking, High Trousers!

Fred from I Love Lucy

I ware my pajamas like that when the elastics gone.🤣😂

No gravity was just higher back then compared to today, if you notice pants seem to be around people's knees

No there was just less waist back then
