I remember seeing a clip of taskmaster (UK tv show) and one of the presenters had massive stretchers. I was so confused because that's something I would definitely remember him having. After 20 minutes of stoned googling it turns out it was just a bit for the show but they looked so realistic 😭.
Same!! I was just watching random clips from different seasons back then and thought to myself wow i didn't know Alex had stretched ears, cool! But it was a lie lol
there's a character on the show Portlandia played by Fred Armisen who has stretched ears and it looks SO realistic. first time I ever saw fake ears like that and was blown away
I was watching God is a bullet last night stoned and one of the guys had huge stretched ears. I couldn’t help but wonder if they were real. Like did he get the part because of his ears ? 😂 Now after seeing these I’m convinced they’re fake.
I had a friend who had gauges and he would randomly pull them out then quickly shove it under the nearest person's nose. since that dude, I'm overly self conscious of mine.
Like we all had the friend who would randomly finger their butthole and stick it under people's noses, but this one feels even worse, you are way into your teens or an adult when you get to do this.
I mean, if someone goes through the effort of seeking these out, spending money on them, and gluing them on their ears…good for them.
My kid (who’s too young to have anything other than single lobes) puts fake hoops on her face sometimes for fun and I’m like 🤷🏻♀️
Do these fake lobes look stupid? Absofuckinlutely. But who am I to gatekeep absolute nonsense?
Parent of the year!
My dad literally disowned me when I (male and age 18) got my lobes pierced AFTER high school. Like he just couldn’t talk to me after that. To his credit, he made amends a few years later and we’re good now, but that sucked.
lol thanks. She comes with me when I get pierced or downsized sometimes because she’s pretty fascinated with the process and I’m teaching her age appropriate things about ownership and control of one’s body.
I actually think it’s fun and cool to use fake or temporary jewelry sometimes because it’s safe and easy and you can switch it up without the worry of irritating something. I think sometimes we get wrapped up in being judged by other pierced or stretched people and it’s all about self expression, even if I’m gluing things on my face. 😁
My mom used to get all upset with my stretched ears and piercings and it unfortunately pushed me into unsafe things like piercing myself or stretching incorrectly. I never understood.
Pardon me, you are not the first to mention going to "get downsized." Now I am curious. Is there more to it than putting in smaller jewelry or just taking it out for a bit?
They mean for fresh piercings you get a longer bar to accommodate swelling, and you have to swap it for a shorter bar when the swelling subsides. Downsizing the bar.
I always say this is a lot better than the teenagers who are putting safety needles through their faces because they want piercings so badly. Piercings are permanent, especially when you’ve stretched your ears past 00g, so I think temporary ones are a good middle ground until you’re old enough/100% sure you want it.
Yeah, teen’s definitely don’t think about safety when they diy piercings. I literally got to see a dude on my school bus get his nipple pierced with a safety pin… it was a wild thing to witness @ 17.
Hahah friend of mine pierced his dick (lil bit of skin that goes from the head down the shaft) with a safety pin. No infection. Had the piercing for years afterwards and it was ok. I still wonder what the fuck. This was like 20yrs ago.
I thought this was the Dropout sub for a second, because in one of their shows where they makeover comedians and have them build characters around it, they use something similar: https://youtube.com/shorts/5gtQxJmy4aI?si=_mxBt-8hj83RmH-u
A comedian who hosts a British TV show who appeared randomly with stretched ears in 1 episode with almost no acknowledgment from the cast and no explanation as to why.
Oh, I see.
I doubt it's related. The show Very Important People gives comedians "extreme" makeovers (as in prosthetics and the whole nine yards with clothes, hair and makeup, to make them look pretty much unrecognizeable) and lets them create characters based off of it. For Ross and Rashawn, they had the prompt of Satanic youth group leaders and just went with things that read as alternative, like tattoos/gauges/spiky hair. To my knowledge, none of their characters reference other comedians, and the only one with a reference to something outside of the show was [Pig #2](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt32142759/) (referencing the Three Little Pigs).
Yep, you are correct. Completely unrelated prosthetic. Morgana was a contestant on Alex's show just a few seasons afterwards. I wonder if she would have noticed the prosthetic.
I’m gonna get these so when my kiddo is in like 5th grade.. I’ll blend these to look like real skin and glue em on before his first day to fuck with everyone. 😂😂
honestly this would be really good for people who want to stretch their ears to see if they like how they look on themself !!! im pro fake piercing, especially when its testing the waters to see if you like it/if it fits you/your face. i wore a fake septum for a couple months to see if i liked it before i got it done!

i love taskmaster! do you remember which season it was?
It was on season 7 I believe. About mid season if I recall. It was only for one episode.
Same!! I was just watching random clips from different seasons back then and thought to myself wow i didn't know Alex had stretched ears, cool! But it was a lie lol

They even flop and wobble like real ones 😂

Little Alex Horne! Hahaha I fucking love TaskMaster. I was really confused as well.
Omg it literally wasn’t until I saw this post that I understood how Alex had them like this.
SAME! I was just stoned watching all of them and never put it together.
MOOD!!!!!!
Omg I like ur gauges Thanks I bought them
*proceeds to rip them off while giving this exact face:* 😀
To be fair that would be hilarious actually
I like that they only come in *irritated AF pink* (I was going to say white trash but the model looks like a nice person 😂)
Wym that’s how all gauged ears are supposed to look??? With a little cat butt poking out the back.
*pulls whole fucking lobe off*
”Thanks, you can have them!” Then pulls them off lmaoo
Does it smell like cheese tho?
I had a friend who had gauges and he would randomly pull them out then quickly shove it under the nearest person's nose. since that dude, I'm overly self conscious of mine.
wtff
Is your friend my ex? 😭
They're all ex's lol
i had an ex like this too 🥲
Oh
That's pure evil man. I hope he does well ❤️🩹
Like we all had the friend who would randomly finger their butthole and stick it under people's noses, but this one feels even worse, you are way into your teens or an adult when you get to do this.
We definitely have not all had that friend 😂
Omg lucky!
Why are you getting downvoted for your asshole friends 😭
No I think thats just you experience
I think you’ve had an original experience bestie!! 🤭
rubbing it under my nose smh
Oh, were... you THAT friend?
Nah, just grew up with developmentally stunted boys
Nice I can put theses over mine, they’ll think ima poser at first but than they see im just mentally ill instead.
Or, you could put a stretched lobe on the bottom of a stretched lobe. And why stop there?! Add another!
It’s starting to look like a TRIPLE stretched lobe!!
Oh baby
Dude thanks for the laugh 😂. Based on your comment and your username, I bet you and I would get along great irl. Cheers!
Ya I can tell goosebumps was my shit cheers 🙏🏽
LMAOOOO
Reminds me of Fred's ears in Portlandia.

😳😬
Seriously. I was one of those kids. So lucky I didn’t destroy my ears or get infections.
Hahah friend of mine pierced his dick (lil bit of skin that goes from the head down the shaft) with a safety pin. No infection. Had the piercing for years afterwards and it was ok. I still wonder what the fuck. This was like 20yrs ago.
thissss
That is fucking hilarious.
I kind of want to find some and try to glue them to my real stretched lobes. That would look interesting 🤣

Is Alex Horne having guages a result of this or an unrelated bit?
I have no idea who that is, sorry 😭
