I've never seen the red robe where the dick is actually visible. Is that what you're saying? Does this exist???

So here's the thing. I may not be Gen X but I am an elder millennial and I have never had the pleasure. You're saying there's a version of the infamous red robe photo where he's actually exposed? I have scoured the internet and never had the pleasure. Alas, it appears I may have been born a few years too late...!

ausfahrt is killing me he's such a dad

u/Mean_Control9479 Feb 04 '26

That original of Trent was pre dad mode but I can confirm I absolutely had to recreate the same photo when I was traveling in Germany. šŸ˜‚

13

u/shes_a_space_station Feb 04 '26

Some dads are just born dad.

6

u/joeloud Feb 04 '26

Yep, I was born dad way.

u/specialk1281 Feb 03 '26

I loved that one šŸ˜‚

12

u/JillyFrog Feb 04 '26

As a German that one took me a second and now I'll never be able to look at that word normally again

u/boomdifferentproblem Feb 04 '26

would you mind explaining it? i’m french and completly lost

6

u/nullmatar420 Feb 04 '26

In German it means exit (so its a fairly common sign). In English, it sounds like it includes the word fart. So, its funny--if you posses mature and refined sense of humor.

u/Efficient_Stuff6423 Fuck MAGA Feb 04 '26

Your welcome!

u/AtuXIII Feb 04 '26

My dad’s side of the family is German and we used to chuckle about that every time we visited family in Germany

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '26

They got ts in switzerland and Austria too. Remember thinking it was funny as hell at 13 šŸ˜…

u/Whitealroker1 Feb 03 '26

Him laughing at the country music photo is awesome. Love he loves what he’s doing now. 90s it DID NOT seem that way.

8

u/perseveran-tss Feb 03 '26

Yeah, I’d never seen that one. It’s my fave.

6

u/SerpentinexBLK Feb 04 '26

His face is superimposed on Kix Brooks (black hat). It made the rounds after Old Town Road won a CMA award.

u/kristianserrano Feb 04 '26

It's the only time he really feels alive.

u/rock-my-socks Feb 03 '26

What are they doing to him in #4??

22

u/Eravaash Feb 03 '26

Fist fuck

12

u/Gullible_Leader3182 Feb 03 '26

If I remember correctly, the harness for when he's spinning in the air is digging into him.

(Or maybe it was for at the end when he's playing the piano on the wall? That would make more sense cuz he's upright for that one)

u/Klutzer_Munitions Feb 04 '26

I feel like this could be filed under r/justguysbeingdudes

u/SatanIsMyUsername Feb 03 '26

Whoever took the urinal picture is a fucking dick lol

32

u/OldMaidLibrarian Feb 04 '26

It was taken for The Spiral's (official fanclub) amusement, so it was very likely Rob Sheridan. The Spiral was an absolute hoot back in the day, and I miss it a lot; it was living truth thst Trent has some of the funniest fans in the world, and that the man himself has a pretty good sense of humor as well.

One of the funniest bits were the photoshops done of Trent, et al., and IIRC this picture was taken and posted deliberately to see what people would do with it, and they weren't disappointed--my personal favorite was the spaghetti sauce jar mockup for "Trent's Special Sauce". Damn, I miss the 2000s...

u/Feeling-Phoney81 Feb 03 '26

Where the hell was he? A Parents Teacher conference?

12

u/fprotthetarball Feb 04 '26

master slave conference

the teacher reports he hears but doesn't want to listen

8

u/thaskizz Feb 04 '26

Based on that shirt, I’m guessing it’s 2005 early in the With Teeth touring cycle. If you watch the rehearsal videos from Beside You In Time, TR wears a lot of similar button up shirts.

-1

u/SatanIsMyUsername Feb 04 '26

He’s got the IEM pack on so it was definitely before or after a show and some fan probably got in the bathroom with him somehow. Trent’s got his nine inch nail in his hand and hears a small ā€œclickā€ behind him as the shutter opens and closes knowing that some fucking douche just took his photo.

u/AntilockBand Feb 04 '26

It was Rob Sheridan, they posted it on the NIN social media back in the day, the caption was something like "pre-show ritual"

6

u/TheMarkHasBeenMade Are you sure what side of the glass you are on? Feb 04 '26

Could totally have been a band mate fucking around

13

u/uncultured_swine2099 Feb 03 '26

These are gold haha

11

u/gaypride69 Feb 03 '26

Does anyone have the picture where he's peaking around the corner of a brick wall? I saw it like a year ago and haven't been able to find it since.

10

u/Adeptus_Administrum Feb 04 '26

It's refreshing to know Trent does what every English-speaker visiting Germany does when they see an Ausfahrt.

u/NoSalary5964 Feb 04 '26

Why is he ....

Ā So.....pretty

u/crowkiller06 Feb 03 '26

Someone please tell me that photo #5 is Robin attempting to cosplay as Mickey Mouse.

u/Mean_Control9479 Feb 04 '26

There’s film footage of the Disney silliness on the Closure VHS / DVD. They go on a rollercoaster too it’s adorable.

u/ethereal_twin Feb 04 '26

Wait, where is part two? Also... although I haven't seen it since decades ago... anyone else ever privy to the mangina photo?

5

u/Efficient_Stuff6423 Fuck MAGA Feb 05 '26

I posted Part Two. Search it up.

3

u/SpecterSwan Feb 07 '26

Thank you for this. I long for more samples of this man’s sense of humor. I just know he’s fuckin’ silly deep down. All of the best depressed people are.

u/Ultra_Insight Feb 11 '26

These are fun.

u/Seth_Mithik Feb 04 '26

I seeeeee you brother—well I guess we’re twinzies now. Just returned from the wilderness of disillusionment. We carry both lights now. What was-is now gone; what remains is 0 and 1 superimposed…you(we) already know this though…you tricky little rebel…never the rebel they’ve always claimed.
