Gary was a supervillain of suburbia. He didn’t want world domination. He just wanted to make a tenner on a dodgy VCR.
He was the friend who always lets you down. But you keep him around because he’s funny. He’s us at our most ridiculous.
John Challis once said, “Gary is the man we all pretend we aren’t. But we all have a little Gary inside.”
And that’s the truth. So next time you see a bloke in a shiny suit selling a “bargain” toaster, smile. Wave. Say hi to Gary.
He’s still out there. Scheming. Hair perfect. Forever dodgy.
