I know this is probably going to get shot down pretty quick (Maybe not, Rekrul's word is law!), but since it's my blog, I don't care. :-)
It struck me as I was watching the GSL Anniversary All-Stars matches last month that Mr. Chae moved around on stage quite a bit like Conan O'Brien does. I can't really quantify it aside from the obvious (both are lanky, both kinda flail their arms and legs and bounce around, seemingly high on life, not that I blame either of them), but it was an uncanny resemblance (to me, at least).
He also looks a little bit like him...

And of course...

Edit: Hmm I just noticed they both kinda have funky jawlines too. Freaky!
P.S. 500 posts! Yeah, not much of one, but I'll do better for my 1000.

Wow, for a 500 "milestone" (Grettin, I like how you put it in quotes--you're right, it's not much of a milestone, especially since, holy @#$! you joined April of last year and already broke 10k?!) post, is it weird that the average number of posts for the first six commenters is 5650.5 posts?!?
Thanks for the responses, everyone! Thank god I wasn't the only one who saw the resemblance. It took me quite a while to find the best pics to show the similarities.
j0k3r, it would be quite a show. They're both great hosts, MCs, personalities. Very comfortable in front of the camera. I think also the ambiance of the anniversary all-stars match helped with the resemblance, with him stealing July's Pepsi and stuff. I think Triumph should make an appearance on GSL.
Grettin, good idea!
Licmyobelisk, do you mean you don't see the resemblance, or that your mind is blown by this revelation?
|
Didn't notice the similarities until now...
I love both, so this pleases me.
|
And the average posts per commenter count just keeps going up. :-) Torte, is that your actual number of posts? I know it was wonky. Wasn't it in the mid-20k range?
|
Which one is MrChae and which one is O'Brien ? I CAN'T TELL.

Second comparison either look like stock photos for Hair Club for Men or Men's Wearhouse ads.

I dunno, but I want Hot_Bid to go up against Triumph.

Unfortunately Triumph is copyrighted by NBC Universal so that dream will never come to fruition
|
Robert Smigel just needs to come up with something else.
Tzzarrwww the Insult Overseer?
|
hahaha wtf why do they look so alike?!
|
I don't see the resemblance at all...although Conan Obrien's chin attracts all my attention, and all I could see was that Mr. Chae's chin wasn't as epic.
|
I would happily endorse this as well.
|
OH GOD. Comedy gold on the hair!~

To clarify, I'm not saying they look that much alike, though I think I picked some pretty good picks to make a case for that. It was more that during the anniversary all-star matches, with the kind of pro-wrestling-ish stage-show atmosphere, when he was going around BMing the other team (and his own players, taking July's Pepsi away from him), the way he was acting and moving really reminded me of Conan. :-)

For some reason this is really awesome.
|
I think he looks like Zero ^^'

Third picture seals the deal.
They gotta be the same person or something.
|
Okay. I had to bump this because I bumped into Mr. Chae at BlizzCon and he said he saw this thread but didn't know who Conan was but one of his staff told Jim he was a comedian. I further clarified by asking if he knew who Letterman was and he said yes. So I explained he was Letterman's replacement.
|
Amazing. Separated at birth for sure. The jawline and the smile is definitely near identical. In fact, if you put a batman cowl on both I bet it would be very difficult to tell who is who.
Holy shit I also just noticed in the first and second Conan pictures his hair parts on different sides. What is going on up there?!?
|
We don't see more firebathero style victory celebrations because according to Mr. Chae: "Only I may dance" :D

I cheated a little there. I reversed Conan's pic so they were facing the same way.
For comparison purposes only.

Mr. Chae doesn't look a thing like Conan. Conan's hair is just wild, he stands 6'4 feet tall and has really, really broad shoulders like me. His cheek bones are also entirely different. Stand the two together and you'd beg to differ o;

Well looks like whenever I tune into Conan I'm going to be expecting a Korean voice...

NO FUN ALLOWED!
Obviously they would look nothing alike in that situation, but the resemblance in those pictures are uncanny. And hilarious.
