One of the finalists (not the winner) in the Chalamet lookalike competition went to my university. I had the displeasure of interacting with him a few times. He was known for being very pretentious and narcissistic, as well as only hitting on freshman girls when he was a senior. One of the clubs he was in did an "awards show" for the year where the "hosts" made a joke comparing him to Leonardo DiCaprio and peoples jaws dropped. He got PISSED about it. He "casually" wore a skirt once and wouldn't shut up about it because he wanted people to clap and call him a feminist icon or something. He was like a minor campus celebrity for being completely insufferable. Seeing this competition in the news and knowing that this guy is in all the photos has been my curse for the past several weeks. I haven’t watched any UA-cam videos about it purely from spite but I will never skip a Jordan vid lmao
@lauramessy if you google the contest, in the first photo that shows up he's the one in the bottom left corner in front of the guy who won. He doesn't even look like Timothee Chalamet lol
I recently discovered ikea as a third space.. you can meet your friend walk around sit on couches talk and have a cheap meal/snack. I did this with a friend recently to search for decor inspo and it felt like a very present experience
Yes! Free tea and coffee on weekdays for the IKEA fam, good wheelchair access, no-one hassles you if you hang out for ages and don't buy anything. I mean, they filmed the soap IKEA Heights without getting kicked out! I also know someone who had an IKEA birthday party where there's a list of games to play in store, totally free and goofy fun
I went there for the first time recently with my boyfriend and the two of us had comically different experiences. Best place to be guaranteed to find a duvet though
Sorry to hear you haven't been happy with your work lately. You're definitely not the only one having a hard time though, and I can honestly say your "silly little unserious" video made my day a whole lot better. Thanks for your work, keep it up! Don't let the internet algorithms make you mean to yourself!
The gender dynamics of humour section really resonated with me. As a part of a group that’s very dominated by males, I often notice this phenomenon where I make a joke to no laughter and then one of the boys will either think of the same thing a second later or just flat out take it and say it and everyone will laugh. Like the exact same thing I said 3 seconds earlier and it’s not like these are bad guys either, they are just conditioned to laugh at men and not women.
I say this a semi-consistent viewer and a long time subscriber, we came here to watch you talk! I know being a talker (video essayist, professional yapper, educator, etc) on the internet requires a lot of lampshading to avoid super annoying comments but Idk i feel like every time you remind us “you’re not beating a dead horse” i find my response to be “i know you’re just getting to your point? Exploring the topic?” You would sound more confident if there was a little less “i’m not just talking to talk” bc i’m here to watch you talk. I’m here to listen to what came to mind when reflecting upon this topic. Just because it’s maybe unserious doesn’t mean i don’t have a genuine interest in what you have to say. Again, maybe it’s just internet culture now but i’m here to listen!
this trend makes me think about the hype that i see at kpop random dance play meetups and how jealous i get seeing 30+ people have so much fun in a large public space
Megan Fox also was asked about her in an interview and she said she definitely saw it. It was a real girls girl moment and I’m so happy she wasn’t mean about it.
your videos feed the part of my mind that i cant discuss with other people !!! i love it so much literally so interesting how do these seemingly random social trends actually reflect where we're at as a society
The topics you touch on are truly deserving of deeper understanding, they are not silly at all. :) You and Mina Le (another youtube video essayist) talk about things that tug on my brain and makes me want to learn more. I would not have gained such knowledge without you. Thank you for making videos on any topic that you are interested in/passionate about, no matter how super niche. ❤
Enjoy your break!! Also wanted to come on and say that I'm loving the silly videos. The baby naming video came out right after my sons were born, so it was really nice to see what was going around that in pop culture at the moment! I've been loving all the rest of them as well! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!!
when you live in a wasteland of consumption and hypercommodification, you can't form identity through self-cultivation or expression or any real exploration of artforms/education. So you just subsume the self to the branding of another.
Jordan I’ve been watching you for years and I always love hearing you talk. Your perspective is sooo cool and I adore you! Hope you’re enjoying the holiday!
Always love your work, Jordan. It can be hard to like our own work but seriously, your videos are great quality. Also, sometimes I listen just to hear your voice. Big love. ❤
idk, you kept saying it was a silly video - but the concept of dopplegangers with *ourselves* via filter, & how the "irl us" has to match the web us (kinda like catfishing yourself accidentally potentially?); & the potential troubles of celebrity lookalikes - that's thought provoking & really fascinating stuff! even uncanny valley has been "part of the conversation" for *decades* , but the further you dug into it all, the closer it seemed you were to touching on something really profound (& accomplished imo)
Sorry to hear you've been burnt out but this was such an enjoyable video, didn't realise how much I'd been missing your work, you always add a nice extra bit of insight I don't seem to find elsewhere (and I am a fiend for a good video essay). Hope you and the team enjoy your Christmas off, looking forward to whatever you have in store for 2025!
This video was great, you do an inspiring job of taking the silly little pop culture things we’re all talking about and finding really interesting perspectives on them. Like the lookalike economy bit at the end was super super interesting, and I’d never thought of the pageant connection!
On the topic of uncanny valley, Autistic people are more likely to trigger the uncanny valley effect in neurotypicals, hence why they find us “off putting” or they may think something “isn’t quite right” with us
I think when lookalikes get told by the celebrity to stop impersonating them (eg ari asked paige to stop) they really should just comply. I feel like its just basic decency and respect idk and like also dont make of using the impersonation???like it feels super off for me like crossing the acceptable boundaries.
when you mentioned doppelgangers becoming popular, this got me thinking about the whole dupe culture for products themselves - yes there's the treatments that can mimic a celebrity look in packages and whatnot, but even the whole thing going on with makeup products (*cough cough* mco beauty *cough cough*) and with larger brands and franchises collaborating with more accessible markets and whatnot. almost like "the poor man's _" (not literally but yknow what i mean) for something, kinda feeling like an attempt to also brighten certain brand and celebrity images in "being closer to the people" if you think about it anyway that could just be all a stretch but this vid definitely got the thoughts buzzing - also happy holidays everyone, and an early happy new year!
This was a very interesting video! I do like the themes from your recent video essays weaving together (as you said) One of my friends, told me what the uncanny valley is in conversation over dinner a while, she is very smart
Some people do crafting meetups as a recurring third space, I do the popularity of cultural influences like relgion or music have a lot to do with social third spaces especially with shopping being online mostly
When i was young, i also bought into the “women aren’t funny” thing bc my comedy diet was all raunchy tv shows and netflix specials. Took me a long time to realize that i just wasn’t being exposed to enough women comedians. Like yea if there are 3 female stand-up specials to every dozen male ones, its gna stand out more when i dont like 2 of the former vs 2 of the later. Tiktok especially was a game changer for me. The women comedians of tiktok regularly make me cry laughing
One thing I believe differentiates Jordan from other video essayists is that she sparks conversations out of topics you may have never realized were connected, rather than regurgitating liberal takes from Twitter.
I like your content, to me its interesting as always! Its like watching a friend speak of something interesting she saw, I come here because I like that
Wild to me that you don't think your last few videos have been that good because I was literally thinking that every video since your "Why does nobody want to be a hoe anymore?" have been nothing but banger after banger after banger. I know I am probably not your audience as a yank and a male but I just love your energy, personality and ability to tell an engaging story. :) xx
not the imposter syndrome 😭😭😭 ive always loved your videos and idk, i really love your latest ones! a lot of points you bring up make me go "oh shiiit", they are always really clever ❤
Merry Xmas Jordan!! Ty for the video. I was 3mins in when I realized you could cover any topic and I would always listen in. Love your perspective and analysis. Have a good rest! 😴🎄
The love is blind guy would be lucky to have her, she's really pretty and she does kinda look like megan fox in her face, like only the center including her eyes, eye brows, nose, and mouth. It's just her jaw and head shape/size that doesn't fit what people are also expecting of a megan fox lookalike. And honestly the same for the guy and his lookalike celeb.
i can't finish the video cuz i have to go (i watched you for breakfast) lol so sorry if you adressed this, but when i saw a woman's lookalike contest having so little turnup i thought women are always so much less confident than men and i wish all of us had the courage to think, "hey i actually kind of look like zendaya/rachel sennot, i can do this" and bravely show up and pridefully state they actually look liek them. And i would hate to see people putting them down, they're being just as silly as men and everyone else >:(
if you shift your perspective you could maybe see it as quite nice to see a social media trend unify people across the globe in having a fun, silly little get together within communities.
Watching this video made me think of the play "the ugly one" by Marius von Mayenburg. It's an interesting view on plastic surgery and doppelgangers (sort of). I think you'd really enjoy it ❤
I’ve been in a “find my doppelgänger” group on Facebook for longer than I care to admit lol but it’s all good vibes and they said I look like Zoe Kravitz 😂 I definitely do not but I appreciate the positive reinforcement ❤
There’s something to be said about the subjectivity of perception, with the phenomenon of celebrities losing their own look-alike contests. Also, as woman, I have never laughed when someone makes an unfunny joke. It’s dumb to expect that.
Even though Jordan says she isn't particularly proud of her recent projects, from my perspective, it's been the same since 2021 (when I started watching her vids). Nobody will read my comment but it's been bugging me for years - the topics within one video are sometimes all over the place. I have ADHD like her but gosh, is it distracting how the title may be about one thing but branch out so much you forget where you started. One of many examples is "2010s trends, trend cycles & sustainability" where only 1/3 of the video is about serious issues like environmental impact, bad working conditions, bad quality of clothes, etc. Everything before is jarringly light-hearted, going into unneeded detail about a dozen trends when a few examples would suffice. Or the baby name video which only shows the positive but doesn't touch upon parents damning their kids with being overly quirky and different. Unfortunately, this way we often end up with sub-topics being barely covered with the depth of a TikTok analysis. This isn't me being a hater but offering constructive criticism. I follow the same principle when I teach, when I write my book project, when I make my own videos (although it's a completely different format, the focus is key), and even when I comment. It's inevitable when we talk in real life, then the ADHD is apparent. But I think an editor maybe or a friend can look at the script and give advice on what sections to shorten, which to lengthen so the main topic stays relevant.
Male pageantry has existed in leather community for a long time - what is Mr International Leather if not a pageant queen? More of a lifestyle commitment and an acquired taste though. Not something a pedestrian himbo can enter for fun, or a casual town square gathering
Btw your recent videos have been great, just as insightful and original as ever imo 🤷♂️ You're one of the first youtubers I recommend, and your videos are engaging and fun when my adhd brain is zooming aimlessly like a toy car. That's a rare talent!
I think a lot about Dolly Parton entering a Dolly Parton look alike contest and losing
Dalik Parton if you’re Dr. Who 😂😂😂😂😂 sorry just a joke
More specifically it was a drag queen Dolly Parton look alike contest.
I swear its happened to a few celebs over the decades with different celebs, so bizarre
I'm so mad right now!!! Jordan stole ma content for views and money proof on channel
Omg the same thing happened to Adele
One of the finalists (not the winner) in the Chalamet lookalike competition went to my university. I had the displeasure of interacting with him a few times. He was known for being very pretentious and narcissistic, as well as only hitting on freshman girls when he was a senior. One of the clubs he was in did an "awards show" for the year where the "hosts" made a joke comparing him to Leonardo DiCaprio and peoples jaws dropped. He got PISSED about it. He "casually" wore a skirt once and wouldn't shut up about it because he wanted people to clap and call him a feminist icon or something. He was like a minor campus celebrity for being completely insufferable. Seeing this competition in the news and knowing that this guy is in all the photos has been my curse for the past several weeks. I haven’t watched any UA-cam videos about it purely from spite but I will never skip a Jordan vid lmao
Thank you for sharing, I admire your bravery and I stand with you. ✊✊
You are so strong fr
We need to know who it is
@lauramessy if you google the contest, in the first photo that shows up he's the one in the bottom left corner in front of the guy who won. He doesn't even look like Timothee Chalamet lol
@@M_n_M_n_M-01 Is it the guy with the grey jacket and black button down shirt? If so I can tell he's insufferable just from those images lol
I recently discovered ikea as a third space.. you can meet your friend walk around sit on couches talk and have a cheap meal/snack. I did this with a friend recently to search for decor inspo and it felt like a very present experience

I went there for the first time recently with my boyfriend and the two of us had comically different experiences. Best place to be guaranteed to find a duvet though
7:13 The children yearn for ye olde town square
Sorry to hear you haven't been happy with your work lately. You're definitely not the only one having a hard time though, and I can honestly say your "silly little unserious" video made my day a whole lot better. Thanks for your work, keep it up! Don't let the internet algorithms make you mean to yourself!
babe wake up new jordan theresa video essay just dropped
Literally came here to comment this exact same thing
Beep boop
I'm so mad right now!!! Jordan stole ma content for views and money proof on channel
the people do yearn for the vibes of a 19th century town square 🙂↕️
babes i literally cited your last video in my final paper for a sociology class!! do not feel like your content is anything other than amazing
This part!!!!😊
u can quote a youtuber's words in ur essay in the usa?? damn no wonder people are getting degrees left and right if its that little demanding 😭
I'm so mad right now!!! Jordan stole ma content for views and money proof on channel
wtf lmao do real research
All the academy snobs being mad is real funny, its probably one quote in a 60 page paper
The gender dynamics of humour section really resonated with me.

Dude she does look a bit like Megan fox from some angles
Yes! She has the facial features of Megan Fox, I see the resemblance
Yes I hadn’t seen her before and I thought Megan Fox before she said it!
She has Megan's "old" face like... Idk i did see it!!
Megan Fox also was asked about her in an interview and she said she definitely saw it. It was a real girls girl moment and I’m so happy she wasn’t mean about it.
I see it as having some bits of Megan’s face on a different head
Oh how I would love a town square….
your videos feed the part of my mind that i cant discuss with other people !!! i love it so much literally so interesting how do these seemingly random social trends actually reflect where we're at as a society

I'm so mad right now!!! Jordan stole ma content for views and money proof on channel
Someone on Twitter said that these lookalike contests is us yearning for like a “central hub” or village square
Celebs better be sweating between lookalikes and Luigi looking hotter than most of them irl
everytime you link something back to a previous point i'm like WAITTTT REAL
Enjoy your break!! Also wanted to come on and say that I'm loving the silly videos. The baby naming video came out right after my sons were born, so it was really nice to see what was going around that in pop culture at the moment! I've been loving all the rest of them as well! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!!
correction: it literally came out on my sons' birthday lmao!
when you live in a wasteland of consumption and hypercommodification, you can't form identity through self-cultivation or expression or any real exploration of artforms/education. So you just subsume the self to the branding of another.
Damn
I'm so mad right now!!! Jordan stole ma content for views and money proof on channel
So glad you’re taking this topic on!!
23:20 i like this video a lot, it brought up some interesting points seemed well-researched and was entertaining af
I cannot believe, Emma Chamberlain didn't attend, slay and win that Timothée Chalamet look alike contest
Jordan I’ve been watching you for years and I always love hearing you talk. Your perspective is sooo cool and I adore you! Hope you’re enjoying the holiday!
Always love your work, Jordan. It can be hard to like our own work but seriously, your videos are great quality. Also, sometimes I listen just to hear your voice. Big love. ❤
The absolute rush of dopamine I get every time I see a Jordan Theresa upload
I'm so mad right now!!! Jordan stole ma content for views and money proof on channel
idk, you kept saying it was a silly video - but the concept of dopplegangers with *ourselves* via filter, & how the "irl us" has to match the web us (kinda like catfishing yourself accidentally potentially?); & the potential troubles of celebrity lookalikes - that's thought provoking & really fascinating stuff!
even uncanny valley has been "part of the conversation" for *decades* , but the further you dug into it all, the closer it seemed you were to touching on something really profound (& accomplished imo)
THE SCREAMING AT THE ELLEN LOOK ALIKE 💀 19:38
me when i’m too lazy to catch up on new pop culture content so i just click on jordan’s videos
Sorry to hear you've been burnt out but this was such an enjoyable video, didn't realise how much I'd been missing your work, you always add a nice extra bit of insight I don't seem to find elsewhere (and I am a fiend for a good video essay). Hope you and the team enjoy your Christmas off, looking forward to whatever you have in store for 2025!
TOWN SQUARE CORE!!!! THIS IS IT , I COULDNT THINK OF A WORD FOR IT BUT IT THIS IS ITTT
I'm so mad right now!!! Jordan stole ma content for views and money proof on channel
This video was great, you do an inspiring job of taking the silly little pop culture things we’re all talking about and finding really interesting perspectives on them. Like the lookalike economy bit at the end was super super interesting, and I’d never thought of the pageant connection!
please can I just say as a kpop fan I am not over the fact that a lookalike contest was held for an idol called Mark Lee and he himself showed up 😭😭😂
and then the fans proceeded to practically mob him i felt so bad mark didn't deserve that 😭
Girl this was a great video!!! Give yourself some credit. You’re a great creator!!! Everything you do is good!!!
I appreciate your output - you break me out of my bubble and I am entertained and informed by your videos. Good job rest up mate 👍
Lmao Anthpo’s getting video essays about his stunts
On the topic of uncanny valley, Autistic people are more likely to trigger the uncanny valley effect in neurotypicals, hence why they find us “off putting” or they may think something “isn’t quite right” with us

Loved your energy, I couldn’t stop watching!!!!

The comment itself reads like it was copied and pasted from multiple sources written more than a year ago. Sis💀
you're in the wrong circles then
I like your content, to me its interesting as always! Its like watching a friend speak of something interesting she saw, I come here because I like that
My friends literally made the Zayn Malik one n they did it as a joke but then they had to follow through 😭
i saw you say to jack that this is the worst video you'd ever made 😭 that's definitely not true! you're doing great bestie!!!
Wild to me that you don't think your last few videos have been that good because I was literally thinking that every video since your "Why does nobody want to be a hoe anymore?" have been nothing but banger after banger after banger. I know I am probably not your audience as a yank and a male but I just love your energy, personality and ability to tell an engaging story. :)

How is TC placing #13 in his own lookalike competition the funniest thing I’ve heard all day 🤣
It reminds me of the tiktok trend doing videos with "my good/bad twin" filming themselves only in different outfits/styles.😂
not the imposter syndrome 😭😭😭 ive always loved your videos and idk, i really love your latest ones! a lot of points you bring up make me go "oh shiiit", they are always really clever ❤
Jordan, you are such a humble and intelligent queen! Thanks from a long-time watcher in Athens, Greece!
just found out u live w jack and oh my god it feels like a marvel crossover
Merry Xmas Jordan!! Ty for the video. I was 3mins in when I realized you could cover any topic and I would always listen in. Love your perspective and analysis. Have a good rest! 😴🎄
I love cinematography. The colours in this video are so slay
Thank you for all the lectures this year professor and Merry Christmas!❤🎉

Girl I love your vids!
Always love watching your videos when I do my makeup !! Hope you have a good Christmas
The love is blind guy would be lucky to have her, she's really pretty and she does kinda look like megan fox in her face, like only the center including her eyes, eye brows, nose, and mouth. It's just her jaw and head shape/size that doesn't fit what people are also expecting of a megan fox lookalike. And honestly the same for the guy and his lookalike celeb.
Jordan’s celebrity lookalike is that girl from season 9 love island uk
AHHHHH BUYING MYSELF YOUR SKILLSHARE CLASS FOR XMASSSSS for the culture
If any of you know the Cyberpunk TTRPG, they literally predicted Poser Gangs 😂😭

Came here to find a blog to watch but OMG NEW JORDAN VIDEOOO
❤❤❤❤ Great video.

ALLEGED shooter
i luv u so much every video you make reads my mind😭💕
Take a shot every time she says 'silly' 😂 loved the video ❤
Describing Chaplin as a Diva sent me
great video per usual, i cant wait to start drag and occasionally do tinashe impersonations
i can't finish the video cuz i have to go (i watched you for breakfast) lol so sorry if you adressed this, but when i saw a woman's lookalike contest having so little turnup i thought women are always so much less confident than men and i wish all of us had the courage to think, "hey i actually kind of look like zendaya/rachel sennot, i can do this" and bravely show up and pridefully state they actually look liek them. And i would hate to see people putting them down, they're being just as silly as men and everyone else >:(
It was Chelsea who brought up the question, she asked "do you ever get told you look like a celebrity?" and proceeded to say the Megan Fox thing.
Hate how unoriginal people are. It was one funny thing by a UA-camr and now every idiot im the world is copying it
I'm so mad right now!!! Jordan stole ma content for views and money proof on channel
if you shift your perspective you could maybe see it as quite nice to see a social media trend unify people across the globe in having a fun, silly little get together within communities.

people yearn for the roman forum
13:35 as a man can confirm, I may have a lot of hits but there's even more misses haha
I’ve been in a “find my doppelgänger” group on Facebook for longer than I care to admit lol but it’s all good vibes and they said I look like Zoe Kravitz 😂 I definitely do not but I appreciate the positive reinforcement ❤

it’s like she knew i was about to have lunch 🙂↕️
Has any celebrity ever won their own lookalike contest?
I wish I could make you Doctor Honoris Causa honestly
another banger

Never clicked faster
I thought u were chad chad omg you guys looked alike 😅😅
It’s me liking the video before even watching it because…it’s Jordan Theresa. I don’t need to see the video to know I’m gonna like it 😊
We ❤️ you sis
I just want to know why like 80% of the humans on this planet now look exactly like the same 8 celebrities. So boring
16:59 I'm sorry but they look absolutely nothing alike 😭😭
U R THE REAL SOCIOLOGIST WE NEED
the thread about perceived funniness and gender socialization is fascinating!
There's 4 Mccafrey's in football!
