If you thought we’d exited the era of flagrant dad-bod worship, think again, because a new idol has risen. New set pics from the filming of Stranger Things 3 show David Harbour, a.k.a. Chief Jim Hopper, in a floral shirt and sporting a gigantic moustache, and the internet has collectively lost their shit. It’s a Category 5 thirst storm, and Harbour’s scintillating Miami Vice shirt-and-stache combo is its pastel-masc eye.

It’s pandemonium out there. And look, I don’t mean to sound prudish, but some of you people need Jesus. Come on.

I want that moustache to exfoliate my entire gooch from hog to hole

COME ON.
In terms of what this means for the show itself… well, I guess they’re marching forward into the eighties, so the crumb-catcher is plausibly historically accurate. Could we dare to hope that we’ll score a Stranger Things: Tropical Heat edition? Whatever the case, this thirst-storm is showing no signs of blowing out. Batten down the hatches, my friends.
