Lookalikes (3)

Our lookalikes tour continues! Let's start with some stars bearing an uncanny resemblance with dictators:

sean connery, james bond, ruhollah khomeini, ayatollah, iran
Brilliant.

pierce brosnan, saddam hussein

ringo starr, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the beatles

vladimir putin, dobby
Yet another (quasi) dictator…

cynthia nixon, bib fortuna
Scary!

brigitte bardot, aughra
Take that, ugly old fascist!

jack nicholson, cat

Jan Peter Balkenende, harry potter, jk rowling
Actually, it was (our "extremely diplomatic" minister) Karel De Gucht who suggested that first…

Dr. Richard Dawkins TotallyLooksLike.com Emma Watson
Perfect!

Rupert Grint, Harry Potter, Sir David Wilkie
"Wicked!" (as Ron said in Harry Potter)

Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero TotallyLooksLike.com Mr. Bean
Always posing for the photographs…

archbishop of canterbury, rowan williams, animal, the muppets
ROFLOL

wall-e, johnny 5, short circuit
Wall-E really plagiarised our beloved Johnny Five!

madeline albright, the penguin, batman, the dark knight
Bravo!

donald trump, the apprentice, alf
Now I truly realise why I found Alf so weird: he had a combover just like Donald Trump!

amy winehouse, wino, rehab, trains, wrecks
Obvious.

The US Economy, A train wreck
A very topical lookalike indeed.

Stanley Kubrick, clockwork orange, Salman Rushdie
Haha!

John C. Calhoun, Sam the Eagle, the muppets

And because I'm never tired of telling you that pope Darth Ratzi is evil:

Pope Benedict 16 TotallyLooksLike.com Dark Lord of the Sith
The Pope is the monarch of the kingdom of Vatican (which is essentially his palace and his backyard) and over the minds of his horde of catholic followers, who are gullible enough to put a old senile pensioner on the throne.

Becoming pope

In 1939, Ben was in the Nazi German SS. And so, one day, while walking through the Warsaw, suddenly a filthy Polish beggar grabbed his leg begging for some money. Benny naturally pulled out his Walther to do some point-blank target practice, but suddenly heard a voice from the sky: "Don't kill this beggar!” Ignoring the voice, he aimed again, but the voice repeated: "Don't kill this beggar!" Annoyed, he aimed again and this time the voice said: "Don't kill this beggar - he will be a Pope one day". This time Benny did some thinking and finally returned the pistol to the belt grumbling - "OK, but only if I am to be the pope after him.”

eBay

I'm currently preparing a blog entry with parody stuff about Yoda (one of my favourite Star Wars characters) and since one of those spoofs was made by Weird Al Yankovic, I thought I could feature another song of him. This one describes quite cleverly eBay, the best-know website for selling things you don't need anymore. (That's better than a bonfire, as they do in Little Britain.)



Lyrics:

A used ... pink bathrobe
A rare ... mint snowglobe
A Smurf ... TV tray
I bought on eBay

My house ... is filled with this crap
Shows up in bubble wrap
Most every day
What I bought on eBay

Tell me why (I need another pet rock)
Tell me why (I got that Alf alarm clock)
Tell me why (I bid on Shatner's old toupée)
They had it on eBay

I'll buy ... your Nik Naks
Just check ... my feedback
"A++!" they all say
They love me on eBay

Gonna buy (a slightly-damaged golf bag)
Gonna buy (some Beanie Babies, new with tag)
(From some guy) I've never met in Norway
Found him on eBay

I am the type who is liable to snipe you
With two seconds left to go, whoa
Got Paypal or Visa, what ever'll please ya
As long as I've got the dough

I'll buy ... your tchotchkes
Sell me ... your watch, please
I'll buy (I'll buy, I'll buy, I'll buy ...)
I'm highest bidder now

(Junk keeps arriving in the mail)
(From that worldwide garage sale) (Dukes Of Hazard ashtray)
(Hey! A Dukes Of Hazard ashtray)
Oh yeah ... (I bought it on eBay)

Wanna buy (a PacMan Fever lunchbox)
Wanna buy (a case of vintage tube socks)
Wanna buy (a Kleenex used by Dr. Dre, Dr. Dre)
(Found it on eBay)

Wanna buy (that Farrah Fawcet poster)
(Pez dispensers and a toaster)
(Don't know why ... the kind of stuff you'd throw away)
(I'll buy on eBay)

What I bought on eBay-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y

This parody song was a spoof on I want it that way, by the Backstreet Boys. (I admit I didn't know that. I hardly know anything about popular music, actually. Poor me!) Here's the video if you want to compare:
