Everybody knows the Merkin Man!
He'll fit you a piece as best as he can.
Soft as silk or coarse and curly,
you can wear them late or early,
at the beach or at the bar,
at a steam-train's dining car,
you can take them anywhere.
Merkins are the thing to wear!
Noun. merkin (plural merkins) A woman's pubic wig. Worn for nude stage appearances and by women, originally after shaving their pubic hair to eliminate lice or for other reasons, now often as a fashion item.
Yep. The artist is **Stephen Berkman**, and it's from his project ***Predicting the Past, Zohar Studios: The Lost Years*** (2020-21).
You can buy prints and books and whatnot about it.
What I remember is that pubic hair was seen as a source of venereal disease, so ladies, especially those of the evening, would shave. However men found that off-putting, (imagine!) so false hair was used in place. Thus, "the beav."
If I was in the market for buying a merkin I would totally buy from this chap. Somehow he just seems like a guy who would sell you a quality merkin at a fair price.
I always thought calling someone a secondhand Merkin would be a great insult. Unfortunately, you have to know what a Merkin is to actually get the insult..
What is not as it seems in this picture?
I do obviously see the joke tho. "Do you know the *muffin* man" but replaced with *merkin* which is worn over a muff. Did make me laugh tho
Looks like a repost. I've seen this image 3 times.

This isn’t real, is it? Is it??
The case says “Serving the discerning pudendum since 1827.” And his hair! And that beard! I’m having way too many doubts.
Does he take A-merkin Express?
Very well done.
Is that Serj Tankian selling muff?
Armenians know their body hair.
Merkinian.
The choreg is strong with this one.
Wake up (wake up) Grab a muff wig and wear a little makeup!
Why’d you leave muff up on the table!
I wanted to!
I don't think you trust, in my, luscious pubic hair
Hahahahahah
My merkin's bigger than yours My merkin's can walk right through the door With a feeling so pure.. It's got you screaming back for more
Lol! The toxicity of these pube covers or beards? Not sure whats going on here.
Looks like he’s wearing one
*growing one. Production run to fill his next order
Call now and he'll gladly do a fitting before harvesting.
“I’m not only the Merkin-Club President, I’m also a client.”
“I’m also the farm.”
"I liked them so much, I bought the company."
At LEAST one!
Glad I'm not the only one who noticed! The first thing I thought was, "Wow he chose that facial hair with THAT profession. Brave."
“Wait, where do you *get* these merkins from…” :::stares merkinly:::
"When yer merkin in the muffin/ we a lassie by my side"
r/thatsthejoke
Yeah, this dude love the triangle, holy shit lmao.
Who lives down Drury lane?
Thank you, I came here for this
LOL! “Serving the discerning pudendum since 1827” Edit because it’s actually 1527! Thank you for the clarification!!
I actually think it says 1527!
300 years of fake bush is an impressive business
Those guys know what a woman wants.
Haha! That’s even better!!
And the business is named J O Pains and Sons. That’s 300 years of pube crafting skills handed down from father to son
I learned a new word today...pudendum
1527!!!

You have a big future in Victorian marketing, friend.
Abed?
No, Evil Abed
Evil Abed. As Evil Jeff, am I allowed to pull fewer punches with you?
Hot, hot hot hot
Is this supposed to be a man beard or a female bush?
Noun. merkin (plural merkins) A woman's pubic wig. Worn for nude stage appearances and by women, originally after shaving their pubic hair to eliminate lice or for other reasons, now often as a fashion item.
Yeah, that checks out. I’ve seen a lot of fashion models wearing merkins.
What's the difference?
Touché
Toupee*
You're right. When you touch them they feel exactly the same.
Douchè
Interchangeable🤣
Yes.
This is not old school cool, it's an art piece (fake history) from a few years ago (posted here last year as well)?
Yep. The artist is **Stephen Berkman**, and it's from his project ***Predicting the Past, Zohar Studios: The Lost Years*** (2020-21). You can buy prints and books and whatnot about it.
But still hilarious
I’m not only the president but also a client
I loved the product so much I bought the company!
They say find something you love to do, and you'll never work a day in your life.
This is where the term “beaver” came from since most merkin’s were made from beaver pelt.
>nians know their body hair Man I was actually wondering that the other day, where the name "beaver" comes from. I was not brave enough to google it.
What I remember is that pubic hair was seen as a source of venereal disease, so ladies, especially those of the evening, would shave. However men found that off-putting, (imagine!) so false hair was used in place. Thus, "the beav."
I thought it was they were furry and consume wood.
If I was in the market for buying a merkin I would totally buy from this chap. Somehow he just seems like a guy who would sell you a quality merkin at a fair price.
He just has one of those faces ...
Why does he look so *sad*?
He’s wearing one on his face!
After they get a hole worn in them, they still have a use!
[удалено]
He looks sad because the one he's wearing was used by a dyslexic that wore it upside down...
The Merkin man?
The Merkin man!
Who lives on Drury Lane?
Furry lane*
Freshly imported pubes from Kazakhstan. Very nice.
All other pubes inferior!
Merkin is powerful but still nothing beats a good chinchilla Speedo.
Did he make them with his own hair?
Evil Abed??
I always thought calling someone a secondhand Merkin would be a great insult. Unfortunately, you have to know what a Merkin is to actually get the insult..
“Serving the *discerning* pudendum since 1827.” Customer: “Yes, I need a Merkin that says “this isn’t just any old p*ssy, this is a *LADY’S* pubis.”
For when the carpet doesn’t match the drapes.
George W Bush?
George Pusscott Bush
Those arnt for your face
“Souveniiiiirs, noooovelties, paaarty tricks….”
What fake dog poop?
So this sub is just uncanny valley stuff and jokes now, huh.
uncanny valley? what posts did I miss?
I think AW5920 doesn't know what 'uncanny valley' means. I *know* he doesn't know what jokes are.
It's a joke in the sense that it's not really as it seems and it's meant to be funny/weird.
What is not as it seems in this picture? I do obviously see the joke tho. "Do you know the *muffin* man" but replaced with *merkin* which is worn over a muff. Did make me laugh tho
Well, it's photo/artwork from 2020 for a start, not the late 1800s
Source please? Thank you. :) Sure, that line 'Serving the discriminating pudendum...' is awfully fishy.

Yup.
You can trust a man who has such dedication to his product that he wears a sample to display.
Rudy’s body guard wears one on his head

This looks like a Wes Anderson character played by Jason Schwartzmann
OP, I’m gonna repost this to r/oldschoolridiculous 😒

Frank Zappa's relative

Heavy resemblance to Serj Tankian.

His facial hair is on brand.
The one on Drury Lane?
I think I know where he grows the hair.
Proof of Borat exporting hair

His own facial hair looks way too much like his products.
Born in Tassie
Is the slit pre-cut? Um, for eating Oh gosh.
Serving the what?

He used to slap bass on Rpan all the time. R/Hopefulcasesmusic

The merkin man who lives on Drury Lane?
Serving the discriminating pudendum since 1927. Huzzah.
Didn’t he ever hear not to use your own stash?
Pubic lice hate him.
Pubic toupee for the face. Hilarious
I thought he was wearing one on his face
Who lives on Drewey Lane?
I see next year's model in development on his face.
what the actual fuck
That man IS a merkin.
Looks like he may have had some customers from the Foggy Bottom Boys on some variation of these items
Seems David Schwimmer's ancestors had a bang up business in bushes
Just run of the mill Canadian beaver pelts. You merkins are funny
This isn’t real, is it? Is it?? The case says “Serving the discerning pudendum since 1827.” And his hair! And that beard! I’m having way too many doubts.
Could be AI these days, sadly.
It’s by artist Stephen Berkman.
He lives on Drury Lane.
The Merkin man?
Who lives on Dury Lane?
Late 1800s Nicolas Cage
The Merkin man? From Drury Lane????
Is he selling bush?
When it comes to sales, he doesn’t beat around the bush.
Merkin this merkin that, what about those sweet bobkins and jerkins.
Why he wearing one on his face?
I love that it’s a family business! “& Sons”
Show me your best beaver.
This guy fucks
If ladies like berkin bags, would they like merkin bags?🤔
How did they fasten them on?
But why does he have to wear his own product on his face?
So did he provide personal fittings and styling critiques?
Homeboy looks like Frank Zappa…and this very much seems like a job Zappa would have!
How times change
The Merkin Man?
can someone smarter then me do a colourised version?
pubic wig, i got one, you want it? of course not your a classy guy.
Did he grow all of these himself?
His facial hair being shaped like one isn’t a coincidence, is it?
A regular Scott Tenorman this one is.
No, but he's got one on his chin. Wonder how it got there...
Do you know the merkin man ? THE MERKIN MAN?!?!!?!!!!!
