Sending an Attractive Lookalike to My High School Reunion
Вставка

- Like many of us, Stephen didn’t have a good time at high school. He played saxophone in the band, got bullied and struggled a little. Having graduated ten years ago, he hasn’t seen any of his former classmates since. Now his high school reunion is coming up and he wants to settle some scores. So he enlisted the help of VICE's Oobah Butler via his app, Oobah.
In the wake of sending doubles of himself to collect awards and be interviewed by media outlets around the world, Oobah auditioned lookalikes and sent a hotter, more successful but fake version of Stephen to attend his high school reunion to reinvent his image in front of his old classmates.
But can he get away with it?

Plot twist: No one actually came to the reunion, they all sent their lookalikes to it
Brilliant... Oobah is executing the Truman Show
😆

You copied my comment, but reworded it better (more simplistic). Props👏

"Plot twist: Everyone at the high school reunion was just paid lookalike actors.
Stephen coincidently was the only one who got exposed for his lookalike.
Bad one on Vice's end."
Plot twist: that's what actually happened

Hope this actor was paid well for this. I can't imagine how nervous he was walking into this situation. He was playing it off so well
I know right! I would have passed out
Why would he be nervous. Whats the worst that can happen. Also hes literally an actor
@@doncarlos4099because he could have stained his pants
@@doncarlos4099 because he’s literally pretending to be a REAL person that these people know? Actor or not that’s super awkward and challenging
@@Luke101 Well i would be very nervous at my OWN highschool reunion. But masquerading at someone elses Highschool reunion ? you don't know these people and you'll will never see them again. So why be nervous.
i feel bad for the actor. he wasn't given enough details about the man's history and his relationship with his classmates. his haircut was half assed. He didnt even get a microphone/spy camera so that the van team could give cues on what to say. i felt like the idea of this documentary was to make the client gain some self worth by making the fake dude look bad but the execution was poor. the producer guy is extremely unprofessional and lazy because of this. i hope the actor was paid well for this crappy gig.
Honestly.
Yeah it was awful how he was left with NOTHING to work with and just kept saying "I'm Stephen"... it was horrible!
😂😂😂😂, I like this.
this deserves a pin
Yeah for real, they did hi dirty but he tried his best so he got my respects.
I love how he just casually dropped that he played in maroon 5 and no one even questioned it
I played in maroon 5 once, wasn’t for me so I went to play for the chilli peppers instead
@@parlay-music lol same
So true 😅🤣😂
Oh my god lmao I know right???
@@parlay-music
Huh I played in Korn
They should’ve chose a 6’4 black guy to play Stephen Fasteau, used an earpiece to relay info and get everyone’s reaction
That's amazing 😂😂
😂😂😂😂
I watched this for like 6 minutes laughed and slid out just because of this joke but I had to com back to appreciate it
Stephen : Eyo wassup N.
The Cool kid : Broooo!!! Stephen!!!
Loooool
it was so painful and awkward to watch when the fake Stephen started getting denied of his identity and played the guitar, but it was really heartwarming to see people remember him and want to talk to the real version of him. and it was really brave of Stephen to go in and meet his people. amazing video.
Only part of the video i skipped was the guitar solo. I was too uncomfortable to watch.
Yeah, that was a mistake, the gig was up. That was the perfect moment to swagger in like "'sup bitches, had you going good, didn't I?"
If they took the extra step and made a fake ID for the actor, I wonder if that would have shut everyone up?
It's hilarious to see how the popular guy still carried that confidence with him all those years
True
Because he still looked good. If he lost his looks, he would just be an arrogant ex chad.
@@bavarois25 this is also true
I guess thats just his personality, it worked in highschool and it works after highschool, would be weird if it suddently would change.
he peaked in high school
Props to the actor guy for committing to the set-up and going through with it. That cringe level is crazy, and he just stuck with it.
He was like a robot repeating everything they told him to say 😂😂
Yeah this guy is very skilled
@@Msn-bo8tm yeah haha “im steven and im 29” like bruh
And he started playing guitar.
@@chriszani3698 you can do better? 😂
The fact that the girl he liked was 100% adamant and confident that it wasn’t him is very touching. It actually says a lot about people who you think wouldn’t care about you.
hey
aw exactly and she was bent on getting the real Stephen there
@@adongakot4480 hey
Plot twist: she knew Stephen was never that hot that's why. But no, I won't be the devil's advocate.
@@en2456 nah nah you good fam bitches act like that all the time
i expected this to be funny but it made me cry. it really says a lot. high schoolers can be evil and make you feel like you're worthless, but they grow into adults who actually care about you, want to know you, and treat you with respect.
Yep. High school years are difficult fir everyone. Popular or not.
some of them remain the same tho
Does not compute. Once a bully, always a bully.
@@marvelousmrjohnThat’s not entirely true
@@marvelousmrjohnNot true tbh
I can't imagine caring this much about anyone from high school or what they think.
Some of my friends married people that they met in high school. So, I can imagine that they still care quite a lot about someone from high school.
Yeah, I just don't go to reunions. Not because I'm embarrassed or anything, I just don't want to talk to those people. The ones I liked, I stayed in touch with, the rest I'll be quite happy to never meet again. Well, except for one friend who ghosted *everyone,* but I guess *I* of all people can't blame him :D
Props to that actor. He was properly professional even with stuff he didn't want to do
i kinda feel bad for him, but he stayed pro until the very end, what a mad lad.
"Oh yeah I can do all the acting stuff... play guitar... do all the music stuff..."
Dude deserves an award
That actor's got balls of steel.
He was very good
Bro he legit had nothing to be ashamed of, he became a dentist… that’s cooler than some shirtless dude playing the guitar for no reason.
Lmfaooo
🤣
Looks are everything sadly
@@ElizabethGlasby I think money trumps looks lol
@@ElizabethGlasby you’re very wrong
Love how his parents point out his good qualities. They do have a lovely home, I see nothing wrong with him. Seems like a lovely person with a great caring heart.
It actually seems like all his perceived inadequacies would be resolved by losing weight, certainly not an impossible task.
I once got an invitation for a school reunion. I politely declined. Days later I learned I was invited only because a good friend of mine said "I'll go only if he goes". When she learned I declined, she also declined. Thanks T, you are the best.
I can’t believe they didn’t give the actor an earpiece to answer questions that people asked him
Right?! Major rookie mistake!
No budget, they spent it all on flights
@@javamurniadi6520 lol
@@javamurniadi6520 LMAO
The problem is... you can see earpieces.
The parents definitely thought he was introducing them to his boyfriend
😂
😂🤣💀
Lmao I got the same vibe
😂😂😂
I thought so too.... "the reason he's here is...." *parents hold breath* ... "is because I applied to his app."
Just wait until you get out of your 20s and 30s. I am 47 and all the friends on Facebook who I went to high school with have only gotten kinder and more caring. Even if we weren't really friends but just classmates, they have become something else, even from afar. People continue to go through their own hardships in life and care less about accomplishments. By 40, you've usually achieved something and realize it doesn't really matter or make you more worthy as a person. What matters is how loving you are. I have a classmate who has schizophrenia. He makes these odd Facebook posts but people are still there, watching him, caring about him and occasionally interacting. He's handsome, brilliant and a sweet soul underneath it all, just struggling with a mental illness. Another girl died from cancer a few months ago. She seemed troubled up until the end, but was the cool, edgy girl in high school and even if she seemed a little lost, everyone cared about her. As long as you are kind and sincere, that's all most people care about. We were all kids together once and wherever life takes us, there is a part of everyone that knows we are all the same inside.
Thanks for the telling this bruv
This was very touching. We never think that anyone would actually miss us, but we are each different and nobody can replace any of us.
Idk, these people don’t seem to genuinely care about him, they only wanted the real guy cause they just wanted to make sure he didn’t feel bad about himself, it’s more out of pity than genuine concern.
@@muaythaibachatero393yeah honestly if you weren’t all that during high school you really shouldn’t bother coming to these events it’s just gonna put you down at the end of the day
@@muaythaibachatero393 also they were drunk by that time and it had be one the focal point of the night, the imposter.
The haircut wasn't necessary nobody would of known he was going bald.
Facts
I mean they were looking him up on facebook and comparing pictures to his bald head. Did you miss that?
I imagine it's incase they run into him in the future?
Yes, but it's funny.
facebook
Jesus, I feel so bad for the actor, I genuinely hope they paid him more for putting him thru all that embarrassment.
The actor was a shitty one
@@ogBohica . Really. Seemed like a cool guy to me.
@@ogBohica he had a rough roll with no info or time.
They’re all actors
That actor seemed cooler than all the classmates.
Would’ve been funny if they sent a 6,6 tall black man to say that he’s Stephen
LMAO
Getting a 41 year old to be a lookalike for a 29 year old ... bruh... you CANNOT BE SERIOUS
They at least got the height about right... the haircut was atrocious though
Cringey to watch the actor shave himself and receive no help from the other two.
@@neihgnot8320 I wonder if there is some sort of liability issue with having the other two shave his hair. They should have gone to a barber. I would love to see the weird look on the barber's face.
These people are in their late twenties but they all look like they’re in their forties.
My thoughts exactly! I'm class of '05 and these people all look awful! Might want to get the town water supply checked out
@@TRJ2241987 LMAOO

I thought the same thing man hahahahah
Lmao
I’ve seen this video recommended so many times and I finally watched it and I’m so glad I did. I’m glad Stephen got the closure he needed and even got a date with his high school crush!! I was literally crying at the end 🥹
The actor is such a good guy - he's so happy for Steven when he shows up! 21:00
Dude is literally a dentist, that's a pretty difficult profession to get into, he also seems really nice. He should give himself more credit.
I was thinking the same thing.
3:00 he was also really good playing he should've gone pro
Right? You could see the mom tryina get him to give himself more credit..as dad said the most 'Dad' thing ever!! 'Go for it'🙂 in no way noticing the underlying issues that might've led to this. Lol
Low self esteem
@@mariaestherrivas4988 Yup. That just about sums it up. But as I watched the end of it the cynic in me kicked in and I now think it was all scripted by the dude to get his app 'out there'..big marketing campaign. I could be wrong but it did feel a little too 'polished' to be real life🤷♂️
my man plays the saxophone, he has a sense of humour, he's the heir to a dentist firm. and he feels like a loser? what's there to lose? just from what I described, he seems like a great person
Weight
Sorry
He's overweight bald and short. Welcome to the real world.
@@JB-rl8ki I mean that’s nothing to be ashamed of
@@JB-rl8ki your height isn’t a crutch that you can fall back on to validate your victim mentality, oh I was born shorter then others so life sucks, no bro, you do realize that your inner qualities determine how people feel and think about you right? your height or weight doesn’t dictate your level of charisma unless you allow it
I thought they were gonna hire a professional to transform the guy 😂. Then he starts shaving his own head.
😂 Yeah.. Like how much would it cost to take him to barber
That one dudes girlfriend was shaking her ass when fake Steven was playing guitar and the dude got so pissed lmao.
The fact that his crush actually remembered him and knew it wasn’t him, that somehow gives me hope
Why does that give you hope , everybody is different
@@henrytownshend8862 ?
why does that give you hope. Even if you are the biggest loser in high school, of course people are going to remember you when they spent years with your everyday in school. That doesnt mean anything.
@@MrKrusten dude did somebody hurt you?
@@HarumNasiku The truth hurts, doesn't it? MrKrusten probably didn't get hurt by someone but you clearly did.
he doesn't look like he is balding. He loooks like his barber did a horrible job
Damn it wasn't even necessary
Thats where they messed up
It was so bad, they didn’t even need to do it
That's because that's literally what happened lol
Bro .,.,.,.,.;.,.,.
This is perfect for VICE. Promoting a company that will send someone in your place because you are such a loser and have no self-esteem, but need others to feel impressed by you for you to feel good about yourself, instead of actually doing something to improve yourself. This is just what the regular viewers and readers of VICE need.
THIS IS AMAZING :D I love how everyone got so much happier seeing him!
Dude is a kind, saxophone playing dentist. He needs to recognise his self worth instead.
Wrong.
You are absolutely right. He is on fire playing the saxophone 🎷
How about hitting the gym tho
Exactly, mans got that full education
I think his mom was trying to tell him that at 2:37
“I’m stephen, I’m 29” spoken like a true imposter
And "yes I am HIM" xD
LOL
SUS!! Lol
1k like
“You’re not Stephen”
“Im him, Im Stephen”
That was an amazing to see this perspective. As we grow up we become more sensible and self-aware, we treasure moments we spent in high school and people for who they were, we just appreciate that someone existed in our lives.
The only person that is "inexistent" imo is the transfer student that came in and stayed for 1 month before leaving, just because that wasn't enough time to make memories
When you see yourself as unsuccessful, it is because you saw only people's good moments on social media and thinking everyone else is happy and successful
This was recommended to me so many times when it first came out that I didn't bother watching it. But after watching it now, I'm so happy I did. My 10 year high school reunion is 2 years from now and I wasn't sure if I wanted to go or not. But after seeing what happened to Stephen and how similar his high school experience was to mine and that it all turned out well, I think I might go now. And I'm glad Stephen faced his fears here. It's so heart-warming to see the people he didn't think cared about him, really do care about him. Also I just want to mention how good the actor was here. Especially this part 15:37. Man that was slick! I feel like the actor just taught me some good social skills here.
I feel so bad for the actor in this. God the second hand embarrassment almost gave me a stroke.
same i kept looking away😭
Concept of this already seems mad cringe, and I haven’t even watched beyond 47 seconds
I’m Stephen and I’m 29.
He tried to make it cringey.
not to mention waiting until he was in the hotel room to tell him they were shaving his head, whether he liked it or not.
Dudes a dentist? He's probably a lot more successful than most his classmates. Just goes to show what an impact our younger social interactions have.
Yeah, I mean, Jesse the Popular Guy looks like he's still out hiring hookers or something.
I think it said he’s a dentistry student. Still, he’s probably smarter than 90% of his class.
forreal,
Yaaa truee
@@MichaelRockfez Yeah his family own a dental practice so he's likely had a decent upbringing and comes across as an intelligent dude.
I did not plan on getting invested in this, but I'm really glad I did! That ending was so touching and definitely was a good lesson for him. Hopefully it gave him the freedom to be more self confident.
the actor was amazing I mean the courage to do all those stuff, the COMMITMENT and I was so happy for Stephen, it feels like a movie's happy ending but in real life
I wanna cry that the actor had to downgrade his look to become "the upgraded version" of Stephen.. 😭🔫
Lol wow. Didn’t think of it like that.
brooo why you put it like that now i wanna cry aswell
@Shining Kek never began for fasteaucels
😂
Ahaha
me before: feels bad for Stephen
after watching: feeling bad for the actor
ive felt bad for the actor as soon as they told him to shave his head
@@helenn6450 Yeah, I thought that at least they'd use a professional hairstylist to do it but no, they just brought the product and made him do it. It looked so bad... I understand that actors should go through these things bcz of their position but I am pretty sure it wasn't in the terms "must allow to shave, cut or change your hair in any way"
That awkward "I'm stephen and I'm 29" when no one was even listening anymore. Damn.
@@exo_nct_wayv_redvelvet I mean it's VICE, they do it ghetto
@Paul except when you try and create a bald patch. It looked so unnatural
This debunks those assumptions everyone gets as their high school reunion approaches. A beautiful and timeless lesson to all.
1:57
His parents looked so tense.. you can tell they thought he was coming out and introducing his boyfriend 😂😂
They didn't think this through. The imposter needs an earpiece so Stephen can relay him real answers to his friends' question.
Smart guy on the comment section
Right
Yeah I totally agree
AMOGUS IMPOSTER SUS BAKA
Well yeah they didn't simply send Stephen
I really hope that other guy got paid well because that was brutal LOL

@@zh2266 LMAOOOOO😂 he went from a top model to Steve Jobs lite version real quick😂😂
@@StJimmy-eq8zg lol at least it grows back tho
i could feel the uncomfortableness of the actor 😭 I feel kinda sorry for him 💀
This is so relatable, the feeling that i’m not quite in the place that i used to imagine at this age..
but at least steven is not really invisible at high school. He’s active in a band and sociable. If that was me i doubt anyone would be suspicious ‘cause i didn’t join anything and didn’t talk to anyone from school for forever.
Happy for steven!
It actually is really cute that the girl he had a crush on was the first one to realise it wasn't him.
Like dude, give yourself more credit.
I thought that was very sweet to.
20:58
You can see how relieved she is to know he's still the same old Nervous Fasteau & not some extroverted Model. Must've really grinded her Gears to know that he's doing well & also looks better now. She had to still be better than him. My god this is CRINGE
@@astaroth282 Wait what? that's what you got out of it?
@@Kedamojo
Yea this whole thing was cringy, painfull & un-necessary plus he'll be known as the *validation-seeking Weirdo* who hired models to pose as him. This guy cares too much to want to impress them & them being soo hellbent on proving it wasn't him is what made it soo *Cringey* .
If I did attend a Reunion 10yrs from now, and someone didn't look like they did 10yrs ago. I'm not gonna go out of my way to *investigate* & *interrogate* the dude to verify if it's actually him. I'd probably be like -
*Oh hey you look great man 🙂*
*Good for you dude, I'd prolly will make some time & hit the Gym soon too HaHa🙃*
And that would probably be it
I'd go back to sipping my drink 🥃
Even if I did find him sus or put together that it's not really him. I'm not gonna go out of my way *expose* him or try to band the others into trying to weed him out coz if he's Insecure that's his business, if he wants to hire an Impostor & get a filming crew to secretly film a private event then that's his business. I could give least fμcks if he didn't look like some Guy from High school.
maybe she knew back then he had a crush on her
My God.. somebody hire the actor. That guy was the most committed to a role I've ever seen and he had like 2 days to prepare. Give this man a month and an Oscar is waiting.
dude the part where he says he was in maroon 5 was incredible
@@tinybed lmao. Literally
@@tinybed wonder if the chick actually believed that
19:36 “I’m Stephen...I’m Stephen and I’m 29” lmao the actor probably felt anxious after they called him out
I hope they payed that actor a good amount for his effort.
This video actually hits close to home. I admire Stephen for actually going inside the reunion at the end.
wow this was so wholesome. He needed that 💗💗💗💗
Give that lookalike a medal... how nerve wracking it must have been to walk into that room, and then keep lying when people keep calling you out!
exactly! my nerves would have been SHOT! That dude put on his big boy pants and powered thru somehow and got his part of the job done! overall, i liked this video a lot!
The guy was paid to do it so he probably didn't really care. People ask questions? Just answer them the best you can and if they still don't believe you, oh well, move on with the party.
See for me that would be fun. I’d see it like a game. At first would be awkward though but if you’re an outgoing sales guy like me it’s easy to ge everyone circled around you I would have a blast doing that.
Although you’d have to pay me a lot of money to get shirtless while mindlessly strumming guitar after telling everyone I played for maroon 5. Oof
Bro he doesnt know anyone there and they boosted his confidence i would of killed it too
if anything its easier because all the people there are strangers and you will never meet them again so who cares ? you also aren't gona die so nothing bad can happen.
Aren't we gonna mention the balls on this impostor Steven? Imagine going to a highschool reunion where you literally dont know anyone but everyone has the potential to know you and you have to act like you know them. Im not a socially anxious person but i'd definitely be one in this situation
I'm Stephen and I'm 29 LOL
Yaa thats frightening
No it would be fun because you can totally shed the skin of whatever mistakes you made its like a social experiment
@@forevershampoo how is it fun when you dont know anyone? It's just the awkwardness of being in a new social group + now you gotta pretend to know people
id be down to do this any day of the week as long as the person im impersonating isnt jail-bound or in some legal woes
this entire was so wholesome especially when stephen found out how much his friends wanted to see him ❤❤😌😌
Omds that was actually really wholesome ❤
He literally could be that guy. Just hit the gym, grow a 5 o'clock shadow and throw a band together
How is this possible that someone in another land thinks exactly the same like i do!
I don't understand people like him who come from an advantage situation.
I hope he does see this. Cause your right! He can literally get there. He resembles him and can def look a like him.
That’s what I said
I'm thinking in the high school video dude was jammin' that sax. He so totally could do it.
“But Stephen, you’re very affable, you’re really sociable. You’re all these things, you shouldn’t put yourself down.”
She’s such a mom.
But he is
Moms know best! I guess he just needed a push to see what they see in him.
And I love how his dad is very supportive for saying "You go for it!" 💗
Sounds like an incredible parent to be honest
Mom was right :)
This guy….is so chill I really think he seems super nice
The way Katie was soo happy to see him ❤
This actor is like an honorable boat captain going down with a burning ship
Yeah they did it so badly. Feel sorry for the guy
An honorable man
Dwl
😂
😂😂😂😂💀
the real steven is a dentist who has a passion and talent for music, a whacky sense of humor, a great relationship with his parents (!) and overall seems like a real genuine guy, I think he's doing well for himself! I wish him the best.
Yeah steven’s a beast, doing everything right
I agree. The dudes got it going on and should be aware that he's pimpin while the dudes that were cool and bullied him are probably struggling and dealing with many internal demons inside. Not to make fun of them either. I think it's pathetic when bullied people grow up and have power trips to get back at the bullies who are now struggling
Yeah, he said he was a dentist in his hometown and I don't think that is bad.
plus he has a really nice face, he doesnt give himself enough credit
@@littlenassyecks8462 well I don’t know about all of that
When you victimize and criticize yourself too much you feel same or even worse kind of thoughts must be in other's mind for you. I have been there, and I feel it takes only little courage to go and face it and turns out most of the times you will find that they think of you better than you think they do. Little courage and whole world seem more kind. ♥
Yo, I'm 4 minutes in and Steven is cool and he's funny. Wearing that embarrassing moment and rolling with that joke is a great move. He seems so funny, sweet and charming AND he's a musician. That man needs to back himself and see how cool he is
Dude imagine being so confident that you can just walk into a highschool reunion and pretend to be a completely different person that other people used to know
I am that confident. Especially if I'm gonna get an extra $100 out of it. Who could resist partaking in such a story?

I was randomly reccomended this by youtube and OMG THE EFFORT I didn't expect this
Why not just give him an earpiece and get the REAL Steven to tell him the answers as they ask the questions? Would’ve worked in my opinion.

@@vivigoesusa or even worse, when those old sagging balls are covered in grey pubes!
@@GudJonnyCakes yeah just convince yourself that buddy your “peak” will never come
Awesome Video! And your Aeesome Stephen! may God Bless you.❤❤
19:50 started hitting deep. The people that actually see you and cared for u at one point don’t forget so easily
Goes to show there’s nothing more embarrassing than not being yourself
true
Yep I feel a lot of 2nd hand embarrassment.
I don’t know if it’s weird or not that he wanted to do this
more like the duplicate of Stephan did a horrible job at being Stephan and being better than Stephan.
The cringe of his clone blew me away.
Hmmm talk to these people Ryan
Now they should do the opposite, where Stephen goes to the other guy’s reunion and tries to convince them.
HAHAHAHHA
what makes you think his peers doesn’t keep in touch with a guy like him 🥴
Would be awesome but it wont happen because he wont even go to his own high school reunion.
how high are you? that was the best comment.
Lmfao
Genius work of art!
I'm so glad he eventually went inside! Way to go Stephen!
You could see his pain when he said that they all started families and careers like he was somehow behind in life just because he hasn’t reproduced yet. This guy is a bachelor dentist serving his community. Pretty successful if you ask me.
Having a family doesnt define success. Hell i could have a family while working at McDonalds. This guy needs to realize that he is successful, and not to cut himself short.
@@RAPEGAMING6969 I think some people want to have a family and it can be quite disheartening when it seems like everyone else around you has it and it makes you wonder if there is something wrong with you. Relationships is one of those things where if it’s meant to be it will be, and for some people it just doesn’t happen. But I completely agree he should be proud of himself for all he has achieved.
He is only 29 too.
@@RAPEGAMING6969 No but I think for many people they can achieve everything else through hard work or having money but having a family is harder as you can't really do anything to get it.
@@mrspo7012 Yeah he's still young, there are girls out there who will give their back teeth (pun intended) for a guy like him but there are stats that show that it's not until 32 that women start going for guys like that. In their 20s lots of women feel they have options and are fussy but around 32 they start thinking...uh oh...and then giving guys like this a chance and trust me in a couple of years he'll have more offers then he knows what to do with. By the time I met my husband I just wanted a nice guy, didn't care about cars at that point just a guy who loved me. Had I met him even two years before that I'd have overlooked him because he doesn't have much and is shy but now I feel like I bagged a winner.
People actually care about him. He was just being self conscious.
@Ultrahoon ?
@Ultrahoon i think they do and you can have your opinion but i have one too
We are our own worst critics
This guy just has some self esteem issues. I admire how he is open about it, thats not easy, especially with a camera in his face. He seems like a very genuine nice guy and would be fun to hang out with. I hope he finds his confidence because he has worked hard to get where he is.
Literally described all you Biden snowflakes.
Dude you’re an awesome musician, and its great you can laugh at yourself! X
During my last years in highschool and graduation, my general appearance changed a lot. Long hair, short hair, weight loss, gain. I was so very familiar with people saying "i almost didn't recognize you, you look so different." It's weird because I got used to it, now I feel vulnerable when I'm recognized.
His parents probably assumed their son was about to come out of the closet and introduce that visitor as his lover. 😂
u r evil hahahahaha
I thought the same thing🤣
Hilarious lol
Lolzz this is probably the truth
By looking at their faces I thought the same! Im sure they were relieved! Lol
Let’s face it, his parents though he was gonna come out as gay and thought the other guy was his British lover 😂😂😂
lmfao
Lmao 🤣
honestly I think it was scripted lol
That’s what I was thinking- they looked so scared
what?
Jesus...didn't know people cared about their reunions this much. I've never been but it isn't because of some traumatic high school experience. I just never saw the point. People I am/was friends with I've kept in touch with and people I am not/wasn't, I don't see why I'd want to talk to them.
I think it's because high school is basically your whole adolescence. So people usually make a lot of memories during those formative years and want to feel a sense of nostalgia when they see former classmates again.
Very interesting project, congratulations guys.
Huge props to the imposter, he was given a really bad brief and went out there and mingled well. The stones he has to do embarrassing stuff is almost admirable. Poor guy haha
He was voted out for being sus
@@mattwrightson294 Imposter is a word that will be cursed forever. I’ll refrain from using it in future, fucking Among Us...
Easy if you get paid and realise you care as little as anyone else
Poor guy was so helpless out there😭
Sussy
This can’t be serious, this mans life is literally a classic 2000’s teen comedy with Seth Rogan or Jonah Hill
Super bad
Of course it’s not serious.
It’s Vice... it’s mainstream media... nothing they ever do is serious or real.
Yeah it's pathetic.
Scripted AF
@@NewNormalWorldOrder Exactly.
I'm sad to hear that high school left scars for many people. High school was not perfect, but it was what it was. Good times and down times. Mistakes and successes. Reunions are fun to reconnect, but let's be clear - they are no longer 18 - so it's like meeting a new person in some ways. Let's talk about what you've been up to. Let's talk about the times that our "young selves" (not current selves) had. Let any emotions go. Enemies could be your new BFFs while your old BFFs could vote for the other political party LOL
omg i couldn’t believe they didn’t even rig him up with an earpiece. they were grilling him with questions, that they didn’t even prepare him with beforehand.. it would’ve seemed extremely logical to just give him a earpiece so they could answer their questions.. i could only imagine how stressed the actor was😭
"I'm Stephen! I'm Stephen and I'm 29!" actually killed me. He kept saying it as if he was trying to convince himself too!
Yeah that part was funny 😂
💯 😂😂😂
Lmao literally
that cracked me up 🤣
yeah right
Respect to the actor, he has balls of steel and a self confidence I have rarely seen
To me it really is not all that. What i mean is he knew he was 'getting paid' to act as another person to 'people that have no clue of who the real him is'. It is a win win for him that lessing the pressure very well.
@@danielokereke3833 We share similar thoughts regarding this comment.
I think its probably easier to play a character like this actor did, than play yourself, especially if you have deep confidence issues.
And just by going on what I heard in this video, that girl who he had a crush on years ago, she won't be meeting him for coffee, but I hope I'm wrong.
I'm sure Steven will read these comments (I would), hello pal, ignore any negativity from any comment under this video. 👍
for real like where do you even get that
It’s not quite Alec Baldwin-shoot-a-woman-dead-and-blame-it-on-everyone-else balls of steel, but yeah…
yea
This is a perfect example of failing but learning what you really needed to know all along.
This made me cry. I love you stephen ❤
This guy is ultra charismatic and beyond friendly and warm! He should not be afraid to show up and be himself
Yeah because that's who I see all the chicks with
@@xObscureMars Incel vibes ^
He has charisma but not like alot
@@thelonf356 actually I'm pretty shallow and picky myself, so I like brains and beauty and spent plenty of time with women with all the above including my wife however I feel for my fellow weirdos and ugly peeps out there. The big difference comes down to money and good looks meaning that either one will get you women and it often goes something like this yeah you'll be the 70-year-old with the hot chick but she will be fucking that hot dude behind your back. Yeah and bitches ain't any better they just as shallow and game playing as men and I'm not hating on that it just is what it is. I hope your a chic because anybody that make a comment like that is...
Man I think you should’ve been like the wedge was totally planned, but you can’t change the past so can’t wait to continue this video, awesome idea
I wish he had an earpiece feeding him answers when he was talking to people, like in all the movies!!
Yeah.. that would of been better. .. instead of letting the actor hanging.
That’s exactly what I was thinking
@@zachary_smith1 It made *PERFECT SENSE* on *WHY* they only showed us his *FIRST* name.
He was *WAAAAAAAAAAY TOO* embarrassed to put his name out there.
Poor guy cut his hair for nothing
They do that in impractical jokers
MY MAN FINALLY DID IT AT THE END 💯🙏
Low key depressing. He seems like a cool dude didn’t need a double but I get it.
He is a double - hahahaha
It's a gig
I’m his best friend and watching it with him was like watching ”It’s a Wonderful Life,” but you know Jimmy Stewart’s character personally and just went through the same story yourself. I cried.
High key
@@hitglenwithmycar damn. yea It was hard for me to watch so I could imagine for you guys lol. Wish you guys the best
