I really enjoyed this last past episode of talking dead when they brought that up. I guess society collectively soiled their undies when the dead started to roam. And then if u did use the bathroom u die. Which Happened at least twice....

 

You forgot to credit J.B. Smoove.... This is his theory as discussed on TD.

 

J.B. Smoove dosnt do it for me i dont think he is funny at all. I hate comedians that tries to hard, Im starting to hate Comedians on The talking Dead period they take away from possibly good interviews with the actors. Now not all comedians is bad the ones that actually try to talk about the show with little to no jokes

 

Oh for sure. Between rotting bodies and stinky survivors Lord knows what that world smells like. But I think the survivors have become used to the smell. I just don't think I'd want to get "cozy" with anyone (well except maybe with Rick).

 

After a while you get conditioned to it. You have to or people couldn't live together. Personal hygiene as we know it today has only been around for 100 years give or take. Humans have been living together for about 2 million years.

 

There were a couple centuries during the Middle Ages where folks believed that washing actually created illness. Historians are quick to note that even the nobility did not wash and that lice and terrible body odor was very common. Its believed that the lack of hygiene accelerated the Black Plague and other diseases. Just imagine how a medieval town smelled like. B.O. was everywhere mingled in with manure. Thing is, they didn't even know it they were so used to it. But I think what helped to minimize the smell a bit was the constant smell of woodsmoke from fireplaces and firepits. That kind of helped.

 

This post made me laugh.

 

People become acclimated to it. Even though it would probably itchy an uncomfortable at first, it becomes a low priority and probably doesn't register too much in the mins when you're running from walkers. If it was me though, Id at least look for ssome fresh clothes in the country club like Beth did. Would have been funny to see Daryl get all nerded up, step out, then say 'hell no, not even now' then go back to his old clothes.

 

Why even wear underwear? It's hot and humid as hell.

 

J.B. Smoove blows

 

not quite as bad as the Marilyn Manson debacle, but quite bad

 

While small, its more non-survival stuff to shlep around and bog you down. It would be treated as unimportant junk. Even 100 dollar bills can help start a fire .

 

Swamp ass is serious business.

 

Can you just see him in some plaid pants and a polo? Not my Daryl!

 

Along with smelly underwear, what about the last episode where it rained buckets and all the cast were soaked to the bone.

I couldn't imagine sitting around letting wet clothes dry on you.
