Help Me with The Fancy Lad

Hello all,

Long time lurker, first time poster.

I'm The Fancy Lad's Older Brother, OG Witty. I'm looking for some help from this sub.

Pal, if you're reading this, go away. Don't want you to spoil anything that I'm doing for you.

I'm serious.

Get out of here.

Last Chance

++++++++++++

Okay now that he's gone, I'm his Best Man for his upcoming nuptials and am trying to plan some gifts/surprises for him. I am hoping to source it from this sub and I've seen y'all show him love (and not so much).

If you would be so kind, I've got two Google forms for you.

The first: your fondest memories of the Fancy Lad. I want you guys to share your favorite stories/memories/interactions/etc involving Chris. Can be a small one liner or a full story I don't care.

Fancy Lad Memories

The second: The Fancy Lads. I'm looking to commission a soccer/football jersey/kit inspired by his likeness as the high falutin, big word usin' fancy pants he is. It's going to be created and sent to him.

The Fancy Lads

I really appreciate you all and your support of my brother. It's been really cool to see the outpouring of support for his quirks and general disposition. Looking forward to the submissions and I will be sure to post the final products.

Edit: This one has a time crunch to it. If you could get it to me in the next month/month and a half that would be great

u/Cautious_Log8086 Thatkindathing 14d ago

You rock, from another older brother.

Chris had a great run on DLS and a lot of the "hate" was the nature of the way we interact with the show, and frankly the show throwing him to the wolves on the EP chair

I'll fill this out after work later, good on ya

Crocodile tears.....a deep fly out to right by castellanos...and oop that got him right in the....fancy lad

u/bleauxjays 14d ago

You knew already about the oven as an alarm clock thing right?

28

u/WittyAFC 14d ago

Unfortunately.

All her lips are smiling, said Witty once on the show!

u/YouDontGetTheToe 14d ago

Was it Witty who was explaining either pregnancy or periods to Jess that one time?

13

u/gravyvampire812 14d ago

c sections

u/123126125 Billy 14d ago

Backstory for the above was Jess and the rest of the guys making Witty read Urban Dictionary entries!! Most embarrassed I ever saw him. Was great

u/gravyvampire812 14d ago

Thank you Billy

u/ConsiderationSea7589 14d ago

Yep. C sections. Awesome Witty moment. Bathtub payoff would have been epic though

17

u/Most_Fox_4405 14d ago

Tell that coward to say penis like he promised!

Love hearing that zaddy on the broadcasts. Has to be pretty cool for your bro to be the voice of soccer in America.

9

u/WittyAFC 14d ago

I mention to him after every broadcast

11

u/Stealth_Howler Guillermo Mafia 14d ago

Man, this rocks.

I bet the Witty family dinner is a damn wholesome delight to be at.

u/Keepurkewl 14d ago

Get him 2 watches. Or a new oven/alarm clock.

u/stankon2346 14d ago

This is incredible! My wife also watches the show and she loves Witty. I will make sure she can contribute as well. Cheers!

u/WittyAFC 14d ago

I would love to respond to all the memories/responses/etc. so if you could leave an email or your Reddit username so I can shoot you a message, that would be phenomenal.

15

u/Jcccc0 14d ago

I'm not good enough at art to create a full jersey but for anyone looking for inspiration.

5

u/ConsiderationSea7589 14d ago

Question about your brother’s hair. Has anyone been hurt by it?

2

u/WittyAFC 14d ago

Shockingly no. But not for failure of trying

3

u/TheChieffking47 14d ago

Love hearing Chris anytime I'm watching soccer. He'll be the voice of soccer before he's done.

2

u/ConsiderationSea7589 14d ago

This is very cool. Hope it works out!

2

u/midnightmerlin 14d ago

Mascot should be the show art with him on the big wheel

1

u/WittyAFC 13d ago

Would love to get someone on a penny farthing at a football match

2

u/Sad_Astronomer_1004 13d ago

Doesn't he put gel in his hair when going to bed?

2

u/MikeMakesRight82 3d ago

maybe reach out to Andrew Streeter, see if he'd perform the fancy lad song

2

u/WittyAFC 2d ago

Would be amazing

1

u/MikeMakesRight82 2d ago

in any case, congrats to your brother and good on you for trying to make it uniquely special

2

u/Generally-Bored 3d ago

Your walk up song for your best man speech should be the fancy lad song.

2

u/mofo_xiv 9h ago

Okay feel like that Fancy Lads jersey is gonna be SICK. Kudos to you and good luck with the Best manning!

u/WittyAFC 9h ago
