Are you kidding? The 70s and 80s were probably peak mustache culture in the United States. Tom Selleck, Burt Reynolds, Alex Trebeck, Sam Elliot, Wilford Brimley, Frank Zappa, Freddie Mercury, Hulk Hogan and countless others all sported famous ’staches during those decades.

The CG animated series Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse definitely had its moments.

This show is quite legit. Dreamhouse Adventures tried to borrow a bit of the slapstick in later seasons, but it remained a bit too earnest to pull it off.
