Celebrities Sharing Awkward #PuberMe Middle School Photos Is the Best Thing
And it's for a good cause
Stephen Colbert and Nick Kroll have teamed up to raise funds for hurricane relief efforts in Puerto Rico in the most hilarious way.
Kroll started a hashtag called #PuberMe where celebrities share awkward adolescent photos of themselves as a means of promoting his middle school-set animated Netflix comedy Big Mouth. And then the Late Show host gave the hashtag an altruistic boost by pledging to donate profits from his Americone Dream ice cream to help Puerto Rico for every #PuberMe tweet.
Celebrities jumped in and shared some truly hilarious throwbacks.
Nick Kroll asked me to post a pic of my awkward stage, but I never had one. So here's me lookin' cool as hell! #PuberMe #PuertoRicoRelief pic.twitter.com/UC9a7XtjZa
