SLOB NEWS: Science Experiment Proves Link Between Slob Diet and Tonky Pig.

Have you seen this? It's one of those things where somebody takes a photo of themselves every day for a year then speeds it up.

The interesting part here, though, is that scientists took a handsome, healthy young subject and force fed him slacker dietary staples like beer, burgers, curry and cigarettes every day until he turned into a haggard slug. The transformation is miraculous.

While the latter part of the video is Photoshopped for the purposes of some advertising campaign, the natural results up until 0:41 speak for themselves!

A noteworthy aside is that the wifebeater vest is evidently a versatile garment, suitable for hunks and punks alike.

SLOB IDOL #2 & 3: Wayne & Waynetta Slob.

Slob Couple: Wayne & Waynetta, from some comedy show for middle-aged, middle class, middle-of-the-road bores.

Here are some more exemplary slobs from BBC comedy, this time from Harry Enfield's Television Programme. Negative stereotyping of the white British underclass is driven home with such literal force here it is almost Daily Mail-esque in its prejudice.

All the same, Wayne and Waynetta are guiding lights for any aspiring slob couple, taking domestic cohabitation to the upper echelons of squalor and skirmish.

Waynetta Slob, played by greasy-skinned actress Kathy Burke, is also a fantastic role model for young girls interested in slob life, a traditionally male-dominated activity.

Who could forget the classic line "I'm smoking a fag!" – a catchphrase so infinitely hilarious that any slow-witted tosspot in the pub can roll it out and still appear as original and perceptive as if they'd just coined it themselves.
