Famous Eyebrows of History (In Honor of Nicholas Dirks)

Last Friday, Nicholas Dirks was inaugurated as UC Berkeley’s 10th chancellor in a ceremony in which he addressed his goals for the University’s future, including plans to expand research opportunities as well as undergraduate academic services, and better student financial aid and advising.

But during this promising speech all eyes of UC Berkeley’s student body were focused on Dirks’s magnificent ‘brows.

For reasons unknown, Dirk’s acclaimed unibrow is no more, but the magic isn’t gone, for in its place are two equally stunning caterpillars. The eyebrows give Dirk an air of power, of wisdom; through them we know he’s someone fit to look over our fine institution.

Dirks isn’t the first to wield this symbol of power. Below are some of the most famous and historically significant eyebrows that predate the newly inaugurated Chancellor Dirks’s:

 

1. The Mona Lisa

Mona’s eyebrows are terribly famous in that, well, she has none, and she still manages to look like a rockstar.

Unfortunately, this wouldn’t be the case with Anne.

 

2. Frida Kahlo

Frida Kahlo is arguably the most famous historical figure with a unibrow. Even she was obsessed with it. It’s hard not to be… just look at that sonuvabitch.

 

3. Anthony Davis

Speaking of unibrows, this basketball player has one that just won’t quit. Davis dedicated years of hard training to grow the most famous eyebrows in the NBA.

 

4. This interview troll

His mad eyebrow skills have earned him widespread historical recognition in the world of golf.

 

5. This woman with eyebrows that are also cats

Respect.

 

6. Jack Black in School of Rock

Because we’ve all tried to do that with our eyebrows and couldn’t.

 

7. This fabulous dog with eyebrows

 

8. And this very suave, experienced dog

Hello, ladies.

 

9. Bogdan, the carwash guy from Breaking Bad

Walter isn’t a fan, but I am. Those things are huuuuuge.

 

10. Khaleesi’s out of control eyebrows

So much expression! Look at them go! When she says “drakarys” they also spit out fire at slaveowners.

 

11. And, of course, Chancellor Nicholas Dirks

 

Because one ‘brow or two, he still looks fab.
