Red face OT - What fictional characters remind you of forum members?

After starting this thread, I will promptly crawl under my lurkers rock.

There has been something troubling me for a while now. When two fictional characters appear on TV, they remind me of Skydog. I cannot explain why, but for what ever reason, I imagine that is a lot like Skydog. I've never met the man, nor have I participated in a thread with him.

In any case, these are the two:

Frylock from Aqua Teen Hunger Force

That black guy wearing the cowboy duds at the end of that new creepy and disturbing Burger King commercial.

Has anybody ever experienced a similar situation?

LOL...Frylock. You know, I guess I can see that now that you mention it.

When I was a kid, we didn't have any of em fancy rollie coasters. Oh no, we would fall off a cliff, and we would break all our bones. Did we wine? Oh no, because that was the way it was, and we liked it!

Actually you are the first person to say that. The usual is Pippi Longstocking, which is worse I guess than Strawberry Shortcake.

I was hoping more for Jessica Rabbit, but hey, what can a girl do?

I also think of SkyDog every time I see Frylock. Strange.

Can't recall his name, but the character played by Steve Martin in "Cheaper by the Dozen." That's me.

Oh, and the character played by Martin in "Father of the Bride," and, "Parenthood," that's me, too. I cannot, however, f'in claim that that f'in character played by that f'in f***, Martin, in "F'n Planes, F'n Trains, and F'indy F'in F'n Automobiles" is anything like me.

To be perfectly honest, though, have you ever watched a movie and got seriously creeped out, thinking they were showing your life story on the big screen? That happened to me watching Johnny Depp in "What's Eating Gilbert Grape." There were so many ways that was like my childhood in a nutshell...except I didn't have a sister.

It seems like people relate to the Frylock reference, but what about the Burger King guy? That commercial for the Tender Chicken Cheddar Bacon Ranch sandwich was on during the Duke/North Carolina game. Does anybody know what I'm talking about? Anyhow, that is one creepy commercial.

Thats the lead singer from Hootie and the Blowfish... not 'just a guy' FYI.

David LaChappelle directed it. Great/creepy photographer who does music videos, too. so it was probably in hootie's best interest to do that commercial, whether he needs the money or not.

plus, we are all talking about it, arent we?
