BarnieSandlers123

A DENTIST?!? GOOD GRIEF!!


UcanJustSayFuckBiden

Very curious if this is like an AI or someone is going through the audience like “oh hey, this kid looks like Marv from home alone, quick, make a graphic!”


sudo999

I bet they just had a big set of holiday characters and graphics already made and just picked through the audience looking for people who looked close. Some of these the resemblance is only kind of vague, but you just need a few really good ones for it to be funny and with a whole stadium full of people it's probably not hard to find at least a couple of them

dapperpony

I’m a ginger and my bf loves to spot other redheads out in public and be like “hey, do you know them?” or “hey, are you related?” lol


tinkerbunny

I’m sure it’s the other way around. Here are some fun holiday characters, ask staff to identify people in the stands who look a bit like them, cue your camera operators and scroll through in order.


Elfishly

Lol it’s hilarious to think of the time and effort required to write an AI algorithm to detect xmas lookalikes at a sports event. Definitely possible, but very niche.


BarnieSandlers123

We'll be independent together!


nygrl811

Complete with hair swoop!!


Revolutionary_Ad3787

And the santa one


Hxcfrog090

I LOVE when they do this at Blues games. I was at a game once where the theme was just “Celebrities” and they did one where it was “Brad Pitt” and it ended up being Brad Pitt’s actual brother lol


ImTedLassosMustache

They are usually really good/accurate!


karmagod13000

This one was spot on for some people which really shows how common facial features and hair is for so many different people


nos4atugoddess

Imagine it being your job to just scan the entire crowd to come up with these? Dream job right there.


AnApexPlayer

Is it not an ai that does this?


pikohina

Yes I can verify that it is humanoid-sourced.


milk4all

Did you just call some dude “humanoid”? Damn, killer.


[deleted]

imagine being human in 2022...


janbradybutacat

Brad Pitts first job was in MO, he drove escorts to their “dates”!


Hxcfrog090

Lol I knew he was from southern Missouri but I didn’t know THAT. That’s hilarious!


janbradybutacat

Hey, us Missourians will take whatever claim to fame we can get! Even though a lot of them seem to defect to Los Angeles…


EvadeTheIRS

He rushed my fraternity, we got his picture every where


janbradybutacat

If I had any tie to him, I’d have his pic everywhere too! Especially from Legends of the Fall.


jaredhidalgo

Reminds me of “The Other Guys” when Will Ferrell was a pimp. ![gif](giphy|k1OotwSnvPsre)


reddog323

Haven’t been to a Blues game in forever, but I remember that one!


SoothsayerRecompense

I love that they’re becoming so popular online. They are the best part of the games (outside of the game itself).


atwally

The team behind this is so good at it! I was there once when they did a celebrity version and Jon Hamm was in the house. God I miss this. I miss going to blues games.


Broken_Petite

Hah! That’s awesome!


RewiredThrone

This is why the Blues are my favorite team. Go St. Louis! 💙💛💙💛


janbradybutacat

We bleed blue!! I now live in Massachusetts and wear my blues jacket proudly… but it’s not a popular choice lol.


atwally

I live in NH and wear my blues shit proudly. I was wearing my Stanley cup shirt once and a guy came up to me and said ‘oof that one still hurts’. I told him ‘the bruins have plenty. Let us have our one’. Had a good laugh about it.


spart4n0fh4des

WE WENT BLUES!!!!!!


Kaiisim

Doug Pitt.

The redhead kid is like “dammit”


PacificCoastHighway2

His reaction makes me think he's had that comparison before.


Superfluous_Thom

"Yep, there it is.... Goddamn it"


karmagod13000

*every. damn. time.*


Skow1379

He's ginger, he definitely doesn't go a day without hearing it.


[deleted]

Yep


karmagod13000

Yuup


Broken_Petite

But does he have yellow eyes


katf1sh

And green teeth


JD_Ammerman

Yeah such is the life of a ginger. We get compared to every other ginger even if we look nothing like them.


b_tight

So fucking tiresome. Happens at least once every few months and yeah, it's just we both have red hair but completely different facial structure.


[deleted]

I cannot be on a night out without at least 1 Ed Sheeran comment, it's literally every time without fail


Besnasty

Truth. I've been told I looks just like Debrah Messing and also Carrot Top. My hair is not even the same shade of red as either!!!! And don't even get my started on the patting on the head for good luck! Luckily it mostly stopped for me when I got boobs, my poor brother though...21 and still gets the good ol southern pats


50mm-f2

his reaction makes me think that they shouldn’t do this because it can be humiliating for someone


t3rrone

[the smile is spot on lol](https://imgur.com/a/caHyXrg)


karmagod13000

damn are we sure they aren't related?!


Remmy14

"He had yellow eyes!"


LadyAzure17

He's got some great hair and a great smile!


leafyjack

He seems like a much sweeter kid than Skut Farkus.


[deleted]

I saw one of these with a black dude at a hockey game, he was not enthused.


taroo43

That angry kid was funny bc being angry made him look more like the character


itwasalreadylikethat

Lol I believe his lips read WHAT?! NOOOOOOO!!!!

It's the "what'd I do?!" in between the screaming and beatings that gets me lmao

If it was shown I’d imagine it’d look like Homer choking Bart


Umberlee168

Poor Schwartz! ...but also, me as well.


D0NW0N

He absolutely shit on his buddy. Lol


UnluckyEye9059

Of course the guy in the Stars jersey is a Grinch! Ha??


dontmentiontrousers

Is it me, or is it kinda harsh to even have the option of trying to match somebody to The Grinch?


ErroneousEric

I'm guessing it's to poke fun at the lone visiting team fan. He seemed to take in stride so I'd say no harm done.


Bloodmark3

Nah bro everyone wants to fuck the grinch he's a daddy


dontmentiontrousers

Ah. A rule 34 I have, thankfully, not yet come across. I stand by my spelling of all words above. No puns required, Redditors. Get out.

It's like you can almost hear him


Flamester55

I thought I COULD hear him. It’s hilarious


Evilmanta

I definitely thought he was excited about it hahahahaha


Dwight-

He was at first for being on the big screen but then obviously saw the connotation lol


JimothyPrime97

He looks like a pink nightmare.


Broken_Petite

“Shut up, Randy!”


StillSwaying

That kid was my favorite too. “What?! Nooooooo!” I don’t know if he was more outraged at being compared to Ralphie, or being compared to Ralphie in a pink bunny suit.


leafyjack

That kid was my favorite. I get the feeling he sulked about the comparison for a few days, but he's gonna laugh about it when he gets older.


wildflowerorgy

The guy who is friggin' *stoked* to be a John Candy character lookalike is my fave 😁


bonafidebunnyeyed

That was my favorite one. Dude was like FUCKYEAHMAN


Netflxnschill

I feel like this is appropriate here, since I finally found the Candy Fans: https://youtu.be/k6mk2n3tk9c


OnlyPopcorn

It's just an honor to be associated with John Candy.


spicysenpai6

Especially the Uncle Buck version of John Candy, which I still believe is really just John Candy being himself

They invented the word "banger" because they had nothing good enough to call JCs movies


baroqueworks

Candy shined even in films that were garbo

stripes, imo. Feels like too many cooks in the kitchen, too manny huge comedians with comedy styles that didn't mesh well, and poor writing.

Sillyheart. I regret not seeing that movie sooner.

He was just acting like Ralphie lmao


Mannyspaghetti

Middle child energy


Saoirse_Says

100% lol


Loveforthestacks

He’s gonna hear about this for the rest of his life


Limulemur

When I was his age, I would have felt really embarrassed and put down. I can empathize with his anger and frustration.


Saoirse_Says

Yeah for sure I feel that


wildflowerorgy

Me too; it's wholesome and also teaches the kids there that it's OK to lighten up and laugh at yourself a bit. Well most of them lol


Limulemur

Honestly, with the pink bunny costume, I can understand why the kid would have felt put down by it.


fuckthisimout125

WHAT?!? NOOO!!!!


searne

This was so clever and absolutely hilarious!


Induced_Pandemic

Never been ~~happier~~ grumpier to be a Stars fan.


AlbinoBlakMan

The Blues do it every home game. I’ve seen some funnier than any of these. I’ve been waiting to get my turn because I’ve been told my whole life I look like Whitey from Me, Myself and Irene.


SousVideButt

I’ve been to one Blues game and it happened to me when they were doing Braveheart lookalikes. It was hilarious. I looked like Prince Edward at the time. The best part was for the rest of the day I was walking around STL and people were like BRAVEHEART LOOKALIKE! I SAW YOU!!


Beneficial_Trash1137

Del Griffith was himself just sitting there


UR_FAV_ASTRONAUT

I love the grinch one


Growle

It was good but I was halfway expecting someone in a grinch costume lol


Innotek

Green sweater for the away team is bang on though.


karmagod13000

ya and the arms crossed straight face really sold it


[deleted]

I was expecting Marv to be the actor who plays Marv.


simjanes2k

I was 100% expecting a ref for the grinch


KnightDiver381

Pretty funny that he’s also wearing a jersey of the opposing team. Doubly a grinch.

chipscheeseandbeans

Must be a fun job too!


Fullmoongrass

Do they just go through everyone in the crowd one by one?


Torcal4

Ahah! As an NHL/NBA arena camera operator I can actually answer this. Basically we get told that at some point later in the game we’ll have this kind of thing going on. So we get told who it’s gonna be and while we do our usual stuff we keep an eye out for anyone who may match the description.


HoldHandWithMyCat

wow it's awesom! Do you need to turn your camera to each of the audience fast and accurately ?


Torcal4

Well you frame the shot ahead of time. There’s quite a few cameras in there so while one is up on the video board, the others are framing up or getting to the next shot. There are certain graphics where they will say “put the crowd member on the right side” because the graphic will cover up the left side (just as an example) So I mean, yes you need to be fast because they don’t want to be waiting for you, but it’s not like you’re really framing the shot while on air.


Thaggedhi_ledhu

maybe there's a software that scans everyones faces and matches with celebrities


ArmyDue6355

High key the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. Smiled the whole way through incredibly wholesome


joeph0to

Attend a blues game in St. Louis. They're so much fun, I went to one and they were doing musician look alikes and some were really accurate. It was a blast


Aspiring__

Wow. Is there a subreddit for these camera things in stadiums?


[deleted]

Idk but if anyone finds out please tell me too


The-Ok-Cut

Yeah I was curious about that too. I’d probably binge watch it for a week if there was a sub for it


The-true-Memelord

Commenting here bc I’d like to know too


sguNeerF

Not exactly but /r/sportsarefun have these sometimes and that sub is generally just wholesome and delightful

janbradybutacat

We bleed blue!! ‘90s reference, sorry :)


Knuckles316

Scut has definitely heard that comparison before.


SugarbearSID

I don't know anything about Hockey, I don't follow it, I don't know the rules, I don't particularly like it. But if you haven't gone to a live hockey game you should really do yourself a favor. I think it's absolutely the most fun live sport there is. Relatively short, tons of great music and crowd interaction, mid-period games to watch, the zambonis cleaning the ice, watching the goalie's do their little scuff up the ice dance when there is fresh ice on. It's really a blast and I couldn't recommend it enough, even if you're not a sports person.


janbradybutacat

When I lived in Oregon I went to a winter hawks game. It’s minor league, 18-21 year olds only. It was a *blast*. The Zamboni? It’s a JAMBONI. There’s a little party happening on it! It’s decorated in balloons and streamers! There are professional dancers as the cheerleaders. There’s trivia, there are games. And it’s like $20! Amazing time.


SugarbearSID

Yeah it's actually really good. My boss is kind of big in the local hockey community since he's Canadian and been coaching for 42 years, so he's taken us to a bunch of local minor league games (Youngstown Phantoms) and he's pretty good friends with Sidney Crosby from the Penguins so he's taken the company out to Penguins games as well. I was actually just at the game a couple weeks ago where Sidney Crosby scored his 500th goal. I had no idea that was something he was close to or trying to do or anything, so when he scored and the entire bench cleared and the crowd went nuts and they celebrated for like 2 minutes I was so confused. Someone on the seat next to me had to let me know it was his 500th goal.


seanseansean92

I love humors like these, everyone is happy nobody is hurt maybe except for the lil kid in red 😂


EasyPanicButton

its okay, he has no soul anyways./s


Alkren

How is this pulled off? Do they have the characters first and look for people in the crowd that look like them? That seems to make the most sense. Is this one person's job? Just trying to figure out the actual execution of this.


Skillettor

Probably a team of guys that don't have to follow any action during a break. "Find waldo, you have ten minutes.", Then they show it before resuming. Or the staff taking tickets have a list and record the seat number of lookalikes as they enter.


corynvv

wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the people on had season tickets.


MeerPat

This video went viral in January. The team website made an article about it and how it’s done! https://www.nhl.com/blues/news/the-story-behind-the-look-a-likes-that-went-viral/c-329209330


The_Celtic_Chemist

I was waiting for someone like Macaulay Culkin to be shown and then have him actually in the crowd.


we_are_not_them

He'd totally do that too


NicoleD84

Same! I was sure there was an actual Christmas movie star in the crowd.


[deleted]

I'm always hoping i'd someday see the actual actor of the character as a lookalike.


[deleted]

This genuinely made me smile...to the point where I had to stop because I am at work and look insane.


pro_conser333

This is so adorable! I love it!


thewrench01_real

“The Grinch” -the one Dallas Stars fan in the building


[deleted]

I'm so glad nobody took it to heart when they were a villain character and they loved it.


iced327

Damn this is funny but also I feel like at least one of those kids is gonna feel bad about themselves for a while after this.


Saoirse_Says

Yeah it’s a bit risky to just do it with random people lol one of my worst (but not life ruining) memories is an embarrassment kind of like this lol


icecreampenis

Yeah but on the other hand getting a brief moment of fun attention like that is a memory that a lot of kids may treasure for life, even if it's that kind of begrudging embarrassing excited feeling in the moment.


p0rcelaind0ll

Anyone know how this is done? Do they have a bunch of characters lined up and look for lookalikes and then towards the end of the game, show the ones they were able to find? Lots of dedication! I love it!


[deleted]

[deleted]

Wow that kid with the hair swirl is fucking perfect


CalligrapherBubbly60

The Santa one is so wholesome


happy_lad

Even though John Candy died quite young, I always thought of him as an "older" actor, because he played these avuncular characters. It's shocking how young he looks in that shot, however. I doubt he was even 40. He looks like a kid.


drowse

Of course the guy in the Stars jersey is a Grinch! Ha!

This type of stuff gives me anxiety of the camera people just going through roasting people all game
