Yung Daniel Tosh here would probably be kind of cool if he went to a small private boarding school outside of Vermont. But he goes to public school in California so people ask him if his parents beat him so routinely he brings it up multiple times in this interview. That jacket is ill though. This is that dude you totally knew in school, but never hung out with until that one time you were supposed to meet your friends at that concert, but they ended up getting super lost and randomly you ran into this dude and he aws there by himself and you guys were both like, "Wait, you like this band?" and then you had an awesome night and you smoked cigs and got moons over my hammy at the Denny's at 1:30 in the morning and then you never hung out again, but you always gave each other a head nod in the hallway up until the day you graduated.

Oh hey, girl. Murdered out Molly Ringwald definitely giving off that intimidating sophisticate vibe that for whatever reason is a very attractive aesthetic when you're in high school. This style would crush these days. You would certainly ask this girl to slow dance at the Antioch freshman only mixer and most definitely would have to stick your butt out a little just in case. You don't want an inadvertent boner ruining your one chance to smell a girl's neck and feel her boobs against your chest.

MY FAVORITE DUDE IN THE WHOLE VIDEO. This is the moment directly after this swag lord answered "NAH" when asked whether he ever gets hated on for his style. You definitely played varsity soccer with this dude and definitely used whippits to clear bongs while visiting his older brother at college.

The reification of wavy.

I don't remember what this dude's actual name is, but I'm pretty sure it's Chaz. Chaz looks like that guy that would be sweeping your leg or encouraging his more aggressive, more athletic friend to sweep your leg. But no, Chaz is that dude who tells everyone that you've had enough and tries to stop your savage beating. Yeah, he's the cool guy in high school that is not a sociopath. You're always down because you drank forties with him when you were supposed to be fulfilling your senior year volunteer requirement and he let you spend the night in his little brother's room when he threw a house party and your girlfriend totally let you jizz on her thigh that night, so this guy is your homie for life.
