20 Louis Theroux-Themed Gifts That'll Ensure You Have a Wonderfully Weird Weekend

Louis Theroux is a documentarian, author, and now podcaster (not that he needs an introduction, let's be honest), who has also become an unintentional meme and internet icon for millennials — myself included. Alongside his incredibly thought-provoking documentaries, Theroux also often finds himself in a multitude of awkward moments that, luckily for us, have turned into an excellent selection of merchandise and gifts.

Weird Weekends, @NoTheroux [1] (formally @NoContextLouis), and an endless stream of strange fan requests (case in point: a random person requesting Theroux's approval to have his picture on their bank card [2]) is practically required reading for any Theroux fan. Some people have even gone as far as getting a tattoo of the man, which in true Theroux style, confused the hell out of him [3].

Thanks to a creative bunch of independent businesses on websites such as Etsy, there are now pages upon pages of eclectic Louis Theroux-themed items including tote bags, mugs, cushions, pins, and more — all of which will not-so-subtly display your (or your friends') fondness for him perfectly. Who knew that Theroux's willingness to get himself into bizarre situations has inspired such a wonderful (and bizarre) selection of display cushions?

If you, too, have gotta get Theroux (not sorry) your long work days, darker evenings, and the dreary weather, grab yourself a themed item or two to perk yourself up. Oh, and don't forget to wrap it all in some Louis Theroux gift wrap. . . because that's not creepy at all. It's what Louis would want.
