Who else thinks it looks rad? 
 
I think he really pulls it off. 
Actually, he kind of looks like Ryan MacDonald now. 
 
I mean, he's not throwing up any of these:  

   
But he's still pulling off that Ryan MacDonald look.

Oh my God it's so good.

#3 Posted by Pr1mus (2545 posts) - 4 months, 30 days ago

I came to the forums for some crazy, i am not disappointed.

#4 Posted by Brodehouse (7281 posts) - 4 months, 30 days ago

He looks like he teaches Videogamology, which also makes that time Brad called him Professor Video Games even funnier.

#5 Posted by jking47 (1041 posts) - 4 months, 30 days ago

I like his Goku hair style better

#6 Posted by Cube (4361 posts) - 4 months, 30 days ago

I really like it, it adds personality. I look like a baby without facial hair.

Oh man, what if Jeff started wearing glasses, and that lab coat he wore that one time? 
That would literally be perfect with that beard.

I'm inclined to say that there was already a thread on this, but yeah...I really like it.

#9 Posted by FritzDude (2206 posts) - 4 months, 30 days ago

I think he's more beautiful without much hair, but who am I to judge. Do what you think is best for yourself Jeff.

#10 Posted by Sayishere (1826 posts) - 4 months, 30 days ago

Suits him, i always thought he couldnt actually grow one, i know he had a stache at one point.

#11 Posted by StarvingGamer (6213 posts) - 4 months, 30 days ago

Does anyone else think it makes him look like an anthropomorphized hamster? Like he's a character from Arthur or something?

#12 Posted by Hizang (8534 posts) - 4 months, 30 days ago

It still needs time to grow, I'm starting to come around on it though.

#14 Posted by FengShuiGod (1350 posts) - 4 months, 30 days ago

Jeff has transformed from man-child to gigolo before our eyes..

#15 Posted by TooWalrus (11971 posts) - 4 months, 30 days ago

He looks like the kind of guy who would ask you to come over and help him move a bookshelf...

#16 Posted by TheSouthernDandy (3021 posts) - 4 months, 30 days ago

Facial Hair Jeff is dope. If he combined it with Dr. Tracksuit he'd be getting ladies for days.

#17 Posted by Hailinel (18524 posts) - 4 months, 30 days ago

It looks kind of skeezy, actually. Like I'm expecting him to sell me real estate out of a van in the slums.

#18 Posted by pyromagnestir (3025 posts) - 4 months, 30 days ago

He can grow better facial hair than I can. I'll give him that much.

And that's why I love it.

#20 Posted by Getz (2894 posts) - 4 months, 30 days ago

He should have just gone full beard. What he's got now is too large for a goatee. Every man looks better with a beard, that's my view.

#21 Posted by _Chad (934 posts) - 4 months, 30 days ago

Patrick needs to learn how to grow facial hair, Brad, Vinny and Dave need their grizzled ass beards back, then they can start Giantbeard.com: a website about Videogame beards.

#22 Posted by joshthebear (2399 posts) - 4 months, 30 days ago

He looks like a dirty Saiyan who sells bootleg dragon balls in the park.

I don't think I could handle patrick with a beard

#26 Posted by TooWalrus (11971 posts) - 4 months, 30 days ago

I actually shaved my beard recently. I don't know why, but for some reason the beard worship was starting to feel juvenile and I felt like it was time to grow the fuck up and be a god damned adult. I only quit shaving my face in the first place because I was getting lazy, anyway.

#28 Posted by Yummylee (18305 posts) - 4 months, 30 days ago

For someone who can't grow facial hair, he can grow some pretty alright facial hair. He kinda looks like my Uncle now, too.

#29 Edited by I_smell (3905 posts) - 4 months, 30 days ago

I think he looks like a straight up D-bag!
 
but w/e that's just like my opinion, man.

Mine is better but whatever. He can do what he wants. The people telling him to shave it off need to gtfo.

Beard worship is ridiculous, but growing facial hair is kind of an adult thing to do. If you keep it groomed, it's fine.

#35 Edited by CptBedlam (4024 posts) - 4 months, 30 days ago

His beard + the new hairstyle reminds me of a photoshapped picture of him (maybe it was a Syndicate thing). Anyone knows what picture I'm talking about? I can't find it. But yeah... apparently it is what Jeff is working towards now.

Found it:

#36 Posted by Humphreys (603 posts) - 4 months, 30 days ago

He looks all-grown-up now...in a non-pedophilic-newspaper-article sorta way.

#37 Posted by Nux (2006 posts) - 4 months, 30 days ago

It looks good on him. I hope he keeps it for a while.

#38 Posted by Green_Incarnate (1745 posts) - 4 months, 30 days ago

He's evil version of Jeff.

#39 Posted by Subjugation (4413 posts) - 4 months, 30 days ago

I hope he keeps it.

#40 Posted by Morningstar (1126 posts) - 4 months, 30 days ago

Who cares.

#41 Posted by LikeaSsur (1164 posts) - 4 months, 30 days ago

He definitely can't pull it off like the rest of the crew can, but at least he can grow facial hair.

That is just uncouth sir! Show some decorum on these forums!

#43 Posted by EuanDewar (4089 posts) - 4 months, 30 days ago

Well, besides that whole mustache stint a while ago. 
 
I always thought that mustache looked weird on him, but with the full goatee, it totally works.
#45 Posted by cyberfunk (12 posts) - 4 months, 30 days ago

It looks like the assasins creed logo.

ikr almost as if that was the joke

#47 Posted by Ravenlight (7257 posts) - 4 months, 30 days ago

Everybody looks good with some well-maintained facial hair. Jeff seems to really be owning the look, though.

I'm still hella disappointed Brad and Vinny fell off that train.

#48 Posted by zoozilla (927 posts) - 4 months, 30 days ago

The more he looks like Nicolas Cage in Zandalee, the better.
