We really need to see more of Rick getting bullied by the grandkids

the most unrealistic part of rick and morty is that morty and summer don't make fun of rick's bald spot at any given chance.

The complicated historical context of Stan's mullet

A screenshot of the YouTube video, "The Gravity Falls Timeline: A complete breakdown | A Video Essay". In the screenshot, which timestamped at 1 hour and 26 minutes into the 2 hour 39 minute video, you see Stanford and Stanley Pines in the scene of Gravity Falls where Stan says, "I have a mullet, Stanford!" Overlayed over this scene is the following text: "Pause to read for mullet facts that drive me insane. Mullets were popular from mid 70s to the late 80s, but the term mullets may have originated in the 90s with the Beastie Boys which would make this line from a scene in the early 80s an error. But some say that the French were calling it a Mollet, after Henri Mollet as early as the 70s and it was then anglicized in some European areas to mullet. The term wasn't in the US yet but we know that Stan has been to London because he has a London stamp on his Stetson Pinesfield passport, so he may have picked it up ther.e I'm sure this explanation is very intentional on the writers part. I caught 4 minutes from this video on the history of mullets. The text ends there. End description.

I never did fully save/combine the collective 4 minutes on the history of mullets in my video, so let me tell you more here on tumblr.

Something interesting about mullets is that for the better part of the 80s, we didn't actually call them mullets in the United States. They were just A Hairstyle Men Had. I don't know how to express that mullets were so ubiquitous as a men's hairstyle that the term was largely unnecessary - it was The Look.

So where did "mullet" as a term come from?

Though the hairstyle itself dates back to ancient times, with the Iliad — written around 750-700 BC — including descriptions of warriors with “hair long at the back”, many credit the Beastie Boy’s 1994 titular tribute song ‘Mullet Head’ with being the first to actually use the term to refer to men with the hairstyle (complete with a description of the hairstyle: "Number one on the side and don't touch the back, number six on the top and don't cut it wack, Jack") though BEFORE then, the term mullethead was a term dating back to the 1800s that just meant a foolish person.

But some have pointed out an earlier usage, before 1994, which may have predated the Beastie Boys (though the jury is out on whether or not it was part of their songs' inspiration).

French fashion guru Henri Mollet was among the first to notably wear this style in the 20th century, in the 1970s (though David Bowie wore it around the same time, with a bigger societal impact). This led to Mollet's hairstyle being described in France as a "Mollet."

French fashion guru Henri Mollet, wearing a mullet hair style. His roots are dark, but his long, straight, dry-textured hair has been bleached to be blonde.

The thing is that, for the most part, while some in France called it a Mollet (pronounced like moe-lay, I believe), the term did not make it to the United States. It barely left France, but the term may have been anglicized to the surrounding areas as "mullet," where it existed in Europe to describe Mollet's signature hairstyle.

So if it was a European term and not even in the US, how would Stan have learned this term?

A Gravity Falls screencap of one of Stan’s fake IDs, with a red circle marking a stamp for London on it.

Well, according to his Stetson Pinesfield ID (the ID from "Not What He Seems" that greatly matches his appearance from his date with Carla McCorkle at the Juke Joint, but there's more on that in the video), he's been to London.

It is of note that there are very limited records of the term Mollet being used, so some historians disagree that this is a true origin of the term outside of a hyperlocal sense surrounding France, but it WOULD would make it within the realm of possibility for Stan to have heard the term before 1994, and use it in 1983 (and yes, it's 83, not 82, more on that in the vid).

Which means that Stan was WAY ahead of the curve and the only person on earth to think that mullets were not fashionable, and also that Ford had no idea what he was talking about.

Stan was like, "I have a mullet, Stanford!"

And Ford was like, "Oh? We're just making up made up things now? Cool, that's rad, I have a demon inside my brain, Stanley."

Love how ADHD, autism and schizophrenia objectively have the same amount of traits and experiences in common, but schizophrenics aren't welcome in the metaphorical club house because they're bad for the image the neurodivergency movement is currently trying to capitalize on and with "love" I mean fuck y'all
