Innocence Lost

In 1993, Bill Clinton took the Oval Office, Jurassic Park topped the box office, and Vinny Lim donned a wig. An eyewitness account from Allan Young '93:

The movement to "wacky" photos [began that year]. We tried to work out a compromise since the brotherhood was split. I remember offering the solution to take two photos so we could have a serious and crazy composite. However, it was going to cost another ten bucks so we decided to buy a case of the beast instead.

This first attempt at composite humor is akin to the pilot episode of the best sitcoms: not quite as funny as the later years, but lays the groundwork for what's to come.

And so, I submit the following 7 for The Best of 1993:


7. Matt Drudge, the college years


6. Bandannas never had it so good.


5. The jacket's great. But WTF is eating his shoulder?


4. A lesser jacket. But the edge goes to the popped collar.


3. Dead Serious Gaze + Pipe = Pure Comedy


2. The timeless classic: beer goggles.


1. The Beginning of the End
