Charles Barkley Proved That It Doesn't Matter How Rich You Are, Your Pals Will Clown You For Looking Stupid If You Can't Tie A Tie
Look at Ernie Johnson! The man was waiting for his moment to strike and he finally did. EJ is the dad of this group. He has to sit there and make sure Chuck and Shaq don't come to blows. He's gotta make sure Kenny gets to talk. He's gotta be a leader. But that all went out the window the moment Charles Barkley showed up like a 4th grader with that tie. Maybe it's the fact I went to private school but not being able to tie a tie is baffling to me. It's simple. You don't have to go crazy with the knots, just a basic rule of thumb here. Keep that shit in the back shorter than the front and have a decent looking knot.
At least Chuck is a man who can think on his feet:
Love this move. Just tuck it into the shirt and no one will notice. Now move on with the show, Ernie. The look of a man who had no idea about his tie and was defeated:
Since this is the best show on television, there's a 100% chance they run this back at some point. Just have EJ tie Chuck's tie on camera like a dad does to his son. Ernie is too dapper for this show to be sloppy with a tie. Clean it up, Chuck.
I will say, this is all fair. Very few things look dumber than a tie all out of sorts. If it's too long, too short, flapping around. I'm not dressing up for much these days - really just weddings. But first thing is making sure your pants fit correctly. Second thing is the tie. Everything else from there you can wing it.
