He recreated his famously memeified pose to celebrate his entrance into the “five-timers club” on SNL, meaning he’s one of the only people to have hosted the show five times (others include Alec Baldwin, Steve Martin and Tom Hanks).
I think of all the advice he gives in the picture’s caption (try hard, don’t let nuttin’ get you down, etc.) the most important piece of life enrichment is:
“And ALWAYS remember to place a soft tissue under your left elbow as to protect the fabric of the cheap ass swag turtleneck that had you out here looking like a bad ass buff lesbian. Oh and tuck the thumb in the fanny pack. Always tuck the thumb.”
He’s previously addressed this very important addition to the picture:
“I’ve got a tissue underneath my elbow because I felt like my turtleneck was expensive. The funniest thing about this picture is, this is not a joke. I walked out of the house like this. Like: Hey baby, this is it, right?
“And the guy in the mirror (and likely plenty of women on his way to work) said, ‘Yeah, you look good!’”
It’s essential to stress this, turtleneck-wearers – as Wu-Tang Clan said in their famous song: protect ya elbow.
