    Is there a name for this phenomenon for when people start to look inbred due to having all of the terrible plastic surgery? It’s like the Habsburg jaw but within a single generation because the deformity wasn’t a product of breeding.

      Brian Posehn called it “Hot Girl Down Syndrome” several years ago on a special. While I understand that is problematic, it’s so spot on it does work as a fantastic shorthand.

            You haven’t heard about the origin of the Nickelback reveal? Basically Brian posehn made one short little bit. And he had been on stuff before but want (and still isn’t) exactly famous. But that one bit went viral back in the day and people were drawn back, analyzed it and realized collectively that he was right and they sucked.
