I came here to complain about the non-mullet-ness of some of those hairpieces, but Woodrow Wilson left me feeling funny, in a good way

Harry S. Truman looks like a character Daniel Radcliffe will play in 10 years or so.

A friend said, earlier today, "these are all Disco Elysium characters".

He is 100% correct.

There's a time and a place where it's appropriate to call President Obama "Barry O" and this is one.

They really captured the spirit of Teddy Roosevelt.

There's only so much any artist can do with Warren Harding.

I love how Grover Cleveland has settled down by his second term.

Andrew Johnson looks eerily like my Uncle Skip.

I always thought Abe Lincoln would have a hairier chest.

The bonus Hillary in the replies feeds my soul.

Coolidge looks disturbingly like EB Farnum from Deadwood, and Garfield is the spitting image of Brett Gelman.

Ulysses S. Grant = Willie Nelson

John Quincy Adams is not in on the joke, are you saying his hairstyle is not cool?

Man, the robots have a lot of trouble with sunglasses doesn’t they? Unless the Presidents: New Class are displaying some kind of hip new sunglasses/piercing crossover that I’m too old to be aware of.

That Wilson would definitely invade Mexico and lock up members of the IWW. Of course, so would the non-mullet version.

So many of the mouths are almost the same. Like it completely overrides drumpf’s grotesque little sphincter mouth. Eisenhower is going to factor heavily in tonight’s nightmare-scapes. I had completely forgotten Cleveland’s nonconsecutive terms—so educational!

Almost all those pics have a much more rugged he9-man jawline than the actual people did. I wish they had just altered the hair without giving them new faces.

If you're wondering why the Founding Fathers don't look all that different, it's because powder wigs were the OG mullet.

All of those guys looked better than real life. (Well, except Ike!)
Biden looks terrific.
But I don't see mullets. Maybe Truman and Wilson.

William Henry Harrison is a guy I have seen tossed out of the Balmoral Tavern at least twice for jinking the pool table. I think he’s banned from The Red Lion for starting fights.

Gerald Ford is clearly the grooviest Secret Service agent on Gerald Ford’s detail.

That’s not a bad summary of Grant — a little too enamored of intoxicants, undeniably talented and ambitious with a kind of disappointing later career. If only he’d hung Lee and Co and stayed away from grifters….

I'm sorry but glasses without arms are never cool. Maybe the ones McKinley is wearing, which could potentially stab him in the eyes.

Pretty sure that version of Hoover could have been a WWF star in the 1980's.

I’m giving it a pass because it’s an original idea (maybe not mullets or presidents, but mullets and presidents). Not all art is bad just because it was made by AI. Not all art is better because it was made by a human. It’s the idea and the execution and in this, a short term phenom, at best, I find a nice mix of funny and well-executed.

No, no, you don't understand: you grow a mullet, and that just happens to your jaw.
