Your Beards Are Invalid

(YouTube link)

Neatorama has featured lots of very strange beards in the past, but this... this I've never seen. The audience at the 1991 Beard and Moustache Championship in Tacoma, WA, had a double-rainbow moment when competitor Dean Beacon revealed his entry for the Freestyle Beard portion of the contest. I think commenter moosewomb says it best: "You would never be sad with a beard like that. You would? wake up every day and think 'Yes. My beard is incredible.'"

aww scott beat me to it. it was quite obviously fake by the crowd reaction and when the text on the video says "that's all beard hair!!" it moves like the old digital text would even though they would not have been able to put that in there back then.

Sorry: it's a fake created by the comedy group the Groundlings in 2009. It's even their stage that appears in the video (go here to compare the video to a pic of their stage). http://www.quora.com/Whats-the-story-behind-The-Beard-Cage
