Someone Says To Refer To Your Pet As 'The Drunk Guy At The Back Of The Bar' And People Deliver (30 Posts)

The collective gag got a major popularity boost on Monday, sparked by a tweet from actress and author Quinn Cummings, who posted a screenshot of an Instagram post by the Puerto Rico Dog Fund.

The organization made their Instagram post Sunday night, saying "Since we can't go to any bars, tell me what your pets are currently doing but refer to them as 'the drunk guy at the end of the bar...'" The Puerto Rico Dog Fund attributed the idea to one of its unnamed adopters.

So while the bars continue being closed because of the coronavirus-induced lockdown, let's appreciate these light-hearted parodies of a character who's all but disappeared from our midst: the drunk guy at the end of the bar. After all, do we even have another way to study this amusing archetype?
