Brooks Marks is the iconic son of Meredith and Seth Marks on Bravo’s Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. He’s made a splash thus far by being his raw, most authentic self, and viewers are here for it. One of his biggest moments in the new Real Housewives franchise was when Brooks displayed his own line of high-end tracksuits at Park City Fashion Week.
Fans (and fellow housewives) had a lot to say when it came to Brooks’ behavior and fashion line, which has since inspired hilarious memes. From his fashion sense to his dry delivery, Brooks Marks is reality television gold in the meme department.
Running Fashionably Late
Brooks Marks was one of Park City’s youngest designers at its first fashion week event. Meredith’s friends couldn’t wait to see what Brooks designed but things didn’t run smoothly on the day of. Brooks and Meredith were running late for the show, but to make matters worse, their toilet flooded and the alarms were going off without an end in sight. While all this was happening, Brooks was telling his mom that he wasn't ready and to let the appropriate people know that he would be running late. The entire morning was a mess.
Did Brooks leave School For The Housewives?
It’s been rumored that Brooks took time off from college so that he could be Meredith’s sidekick on RHOSLC. However, Meredith quickly disputed that claim on an episode of Watch What Happens Live. Meredith claimed that she encourages all of her kids to take a semester off from school to focus on their careers and lives outside of school.
“My oldest son Reid took his junior year second semester off and worked in London. Brooks chose to spend his second-semester junior year developing his brand, which coincided with the show. And Chloe will take second-semester junior year off as well to do something," Marks said.
Bravo's Best Brooks
Around the holiday season, memes were flooding social media pages revolving around the front and back sides of a Christmas tree. The front of the Christmas tree is always pristine and gorgeous but the back is usually bare and sloppy.
This meme has the same spirit and uses Bravos’s two Brooks for comparison. Brooks from RHOSLC is the front of the tree with his good looks and charm. And Brooks from RHOC is definitely the back of the tree considering he brought nothing but lies and bad energy to the show. Brooks from RHOSLC is the winning Brooks.
Jen Shah Had A Point
Brooks’s fashion show started a ton of chatter online and on the show. The tracksuits he showed off were all black with his name going down the sides. They weren’t too different from each other and looked like the same tracksuit from afar.
Jen Shah said what everyone was thinking “Does one tracksuit make a collection?” Jen had an amazing point. Can Brooks call himself a fashion designer if he created one type of tracksuit? Does this mean he has a collection or just a tracksuit?
Real Original, Brooks
Meryl Streep gave a legendary performance in The Devil Wears Prada. She was cold as ice and a true icon in the fashion industry. In one scene, she sarcastically replied with “groundbreaking” when one of her employees suggested florals for the spring issue of the magazine. This meme pokes fun at Brooks’s “innovation” in the world of fashion design in streetwear.
Most designers have tracksuits for their athleisure side of the brand, but what’s even more interesting is that Brooks’s tracksuits look like a knock off of Givenchy's...
Kacey Musgraves & Troye Sivan x Meredith Marks & Brooks Marks
Kacey Musgraves and Troye Sivan in the music video for their song “Easy” may as well be Meredith and Brooks. The two are much more than mother and son; they are sidekicks. Partners in crime. There’s no doubt that Brooks would come to his mother’s defense if she ever needed it against the other ladies. He already does it against his dad when he and Meredith are butting heads.
"David!"
David Rose is just one reason why Netflix’s Schitt’s Creek was a raving success. His love of nice things was relatable but what set him apart was his delivery. David’s facial expressions and head movements did most of the talking. Those around him immediately knew how he felt without hearing his thoughts. He was theatrical in his own way and it was fun to watch. Brooks Marks is very close to being David Rose’s real-life counterpart. From his monotone voice to his love of fashion to his one-liners, David and Brooks have the same energy.
It's Always Nice When Someone Foots The Bill
Meredith and Seth Marks were going through a lot in their marriage by the time the show started running. They were secretly separated and trying to figure out if they should continue with their marriage or spend some time apart for good. With Seth in Ohio for work and Meredith in SLC, he surprised her with an incredible display of flowers for her birthday. Since Seth wasn’t there, Brooks had to set the mood and create the scene on behalf of his dad. When Meredith came in and thanked Brooks, he hilariously took the credit and but made sure to say “Dad paid the bill.”
Dress Well For The Hike
In one scene of RHOSLC, the Marks family went for a brief hike as the cameras followed along. However, Brooks was so well-dressed that it seemed like he was there for an Instagram photoshoot rather than a hike. But he’s not alone. There are plenty of influencers who get dolled up for physical activity, only to take a few pictures or videos and call it a day.
Getting Out Of Bed Is Similar To Doing Crunches
While everyone else works out in a gym, Meredith and Brooks Marks are on another planet working out with laser technology.
As Meredith and Brooks laid next to each other getting a treatment done, it’s easy to see how close the two are. It's not every day a mother and son have a spa day in the middle of their living room instead of going to the gym.
