"Imagine them in their underwear"

[Sephiroth]

Seriously, where the hell did this start? Who got the idea that it was a good method for overcoming stage fright?

[SsnakeBite, the No1 Frenchman]

Yeah seriously, how is it supposed to make anyone LESS nervous?

To quote Barney Gumble:

"I'm a free man, ain't I?"

[Hit Girl]

Mitch Hedberg had the right idea

Wear shades, and close your eyes.

[Professor Chaos]

I would think it would only lead to embarrassing yourself if you saw someone attractive and got Giggity.

[Mozenrath]

I think the idea is more to not think of them as in a position to judge you, or to make the situation less serious.

It generally sounds like bad advice all the same.

Winston Churchill found that he overcame nervousness about making speeches by imagining everyone had a hole in their left sock. Maybe it's the idea that you're the best dressed person there?

Maybe to a degree, or just that "none of them are perfect, either" and that they won't shit on you just for slipping a little, to take some of the pressure off.

Imagine them in their underwear? Done and Done. (Whispers in my ear)

I have to make a speech?

He also used to like sitting around in the nude and called it an "air bath."

I was always told 'imagine them taking a dump on the toilet'.

This must've been from John Lennon's lesser known brother, Vladimir

[Orange]

Great, now I have stage fright and a boner!

I would be intimidated because most of man's greatest ideas were spawned sitting on the toilet.

What if you're one of those super immature people who find such visuals hilarious and you just break down into an insane laughing lunacy?

I don't know if that'd make them more or less intimidating. Brothers of Destruction, BOD in their BVDs.

Taker is a tighty-whitie man for sure. Kane seems like he'd be all about the banana hammock.

Can you imagine an NXT graduate being nervous on their first day of Raw and Trips telling them "imagine your opponent in their underwear"


"ok Boss, who's my opponent?"


"Randy Orton"


"wait a mi...."


"good luck kid, you better wait in gorrila your cue is in a minute"
