Welcome to the NOML Moustache Hall of Shame

The NOML welcomes you to the NOML Moustache Hall of Shame. Dedicated to bad moustaches and bad men who wear moustaches, the Hall of Shame is a reminder that the history of moustaches is not without a dark side.

As always, the NOML welcomes nominations to the NOML Moustache Hall of Shame. Please feel free to comment on the HoS or any other NOML Moustache gallery.

Thank you for your continuing support of the NOML.

Dale Earnhardt

Dale Earnhardt
NOML Hall of Shamer

Born 1951, Kannapolis, North Carolina. Died 2001, Daytona Beach, Florida

Though one of the greatest of NASCAR drivers and seven-time Winston Cup champion, the Intimidator's signature moustache would spawn a legend and inspire a legion of loyal fans to groom similar abominations.

Adolf Hitler

Born 1889, Braunau am Inn, Austria. Died 1945, Berlin, Germany

Worst man, worst moustache. End of story.

Augusto Pinochet

Augusto Pinochet
NOML Hall of Shamer

Born 1915, Valparaíso, Chile

The Chilean dictator is yet another example of a moustache-wearing mass murderer. That he lives still is proof of the old saying: Hierba mala nunca muere (weeds never die).

Joseph Stalin

Joseph Stalin
NOML Hall of Shamer

Born 1878, Gori, Georgia. Died 1953, Moscow, USSR

Hitler's main rival for worst human ever also had a memorable moustache of the handlebar variety.

Vlad Ţepeş

Vlad Ţepeş
NOML Hall of Shamer

Born 1431, Sighişoara, Transylvania. Died 1476, ???

Although the Wallachian prince wins points for being the primary source of the Dracula legend, Vlad the Impaler's brutality wins him a solid spot in the NOML Hall of Shame. Known to have impaled thousands, including his own countrymen, Vlad's moustache lives on as a symbol of human cruelty.
