Louis C.K. Oh My God Trailer




Louis C.K. may very well be the Internet‘s current most favorite stand up comic. He made headlines when he broke from the norm and sold his last online special for just $5 with no strings attached. Though many doubted his decision, the show ended up being a huge success.


Now, Louie is coming back, only this time on an exclusive HBO special. In his trademark way, CK made this hilarious promotional video to spread the word.


Already, the new promo video is making people chuckle, and has collected over 350,000 views over the weekend.

The 10 Best Television Mustaches Ever, Ranked By The Current Champion




Murray Bartlett plays Dom on HBO’s Looking, a character who boasts the best ‘stache in San Francisco. So, BuzzFeed News asked him to rank his fellow facial hair legends of the small screen.

HBO’s sophomore series Looking may be about a group of gay men in San Francisco, but any fan of the series knows it’s really all about the facial hair.


And no one’s comes close to the ‘stache on Dom, the fortysomething aspiring restauranteur, played by Australian actor Murray Bartlett. It’s hard to imagine the character without his perfectly ’70s porn star facial hair, but when Bartlett stopped by BuzzFeed’s New York offices earlier this week, he said the mustache was very much a coincidental part of his character.


“I was in Egypt for a chunk of time and I really stood out there as a foreigner so I was trying to fit in with the locals and grew a mustache. And then, the audition came up for Looking while I was there, so I put my first audition on tape,” Bartlett told BuzzFeed News. “I thought it fit with the character and the fact that facial hair has sort of come back into fashion in the last couple years, particularly in San Francisco. But it’s also a bit of a throwback to the kind of classic image of the gay man in San Francisco in the ’70s particularly.”


Those behind Looking also felt similarly and the mustache started to dictate Dom’s look at large. “I talked about it with the costume designer, who then started putting me in plaid shirts and playing with that idea of using that image, but in the present,” Bartlett added, noting he’s obsessed with Dom’s other signature accessory: a shearling-lined corduroy jacket.





When a season of Looking wraps, though, Barlett usually shaves off the mustache (as you can see in these fresh-faced photos). “It does feel like a very Dom thing. It’s certainly become that for me,” he said. “It’s like this piece of the costume that you take off and you feel different and a little bit liberated.”


Still, he admitted with a laugh., “I get kind of attached to it. I’m sort of reluctant to shave it off when I come to shave it off.”


It’s understandable then why Bartlett isn’t surprised by the audience’s love of Dom’s mustache. “There’s blogs and Tumblr accounts devoted to mustaches and beards and all that kind of stuff,” he said. “It’s sort of out there at the moment.”


Certainly, there have been many rankings of television mustaches before, but whose choices could be more definitive than the current No. 1? So, without further ado, here are Bartlett’s picks for the best mustaches in TV history.




10. Bob Belcher, Bob’s Burgers



Jon Premosch/BuzzFeed




“It sort of looks like a french fry, which goes with the show.”




9. Dr. Mark Sloan, Diagnosis Murder



Jon Premosch/BuzzFeed




“How can you not love Dick Van Dyke?”




8. Walter White, Breaking Bad



Jon Premosch/BuzzFeed




“He’s just so badass.”




7. Geraldo Rivera, Geraldo at Large



Jon Premosch/BuzzFeed




“I mean, that’s an amazing mustache, politics aside.”




6. Ron Swanson, Parks and Recreation



Jon Premosch/BuzzFeed




“He’s sort of like the real Ned Flanders.”




5. Ned Flanders, The Simpsons



Jon Premosch/BuzzFeed




“But nothing beats the original.”




4. Hulk Hogan, Hogan Knows Best



Jon Premosch/BuzzFeed




“It’d probably be unwise to not place him on the list.”




3. Yosemite Sam, Looney Tunes



Jon Premosch/BuzzFeed




“It’s epic. It nearly touches the floor.”




2. Isaac Washington, The Love Boat



Jon Premosch/BuzzFeed




“The most extreme handlebar.”




1. Thomas Magnum, Magnum, P.I.



Jon Premosch/BuzzFeed




“How could you not? It has to be No. 1.”




The king has spoken. Let us rejoice.






HBO






 




Looking airs on Sundays on HBO at 10 p.m. ET.

But please don’t.

HBO


 

Have you ever dreamt of dressing like Jon Snow but couldn’t find the right garbage bag to cut holes in? Well, look no further because HBO has officially released the first images from their Game of Thrones costume collection.


“Perfect for fans, LARPers, and reenactors,” reads the press release, touting a trio of character-based designs for fan favorite characters Jon Snow, Ned Stark, and Robb Stark. (B.Y.O. Blood is implied.)


The outfits are perfect for:

The swingy cut of these “Gambesons” (Jon Snow’s on the left, Ned Stark’s on the right) means all of your sweet, sweet dance moves will be accented by a twirl of blended cotton. Oh, but don’t forget, they’re dry clean only!


6. And if you’re feeling especially fancy, top off any look with a Cape of the North.
