The Inadequite Showdown Of Mediocre Destiny!

Who?
/oh wait...

LA Times had a much better headline:

Spider-Man in handcuffs ... J. Jonah Jameson was right!

Who knew they had a comic book blog

Mind Set/

If I wear a costume, they'll never catch me!

*boggle*

daddy, why does mr incredible smell like smoke?

/I HATE those guys
//Elmo smells like B.O.
///dude in the yoda mask smells like pot
///"touch my kids and you're going to get punched in the neck"

For a second I thought this was another one of those comic-book-superhero tournament things.

Actually, the inclusion of Muppets in that superhero showdown thing would have made the matchups a lot more interesting. Then we could have a 200-comment "Cookie Monster vs. Kitty Pride" thread where half of the comments are "Prairie Dawn wins. Why? BECAUSE SHE'S THE GODDAMN PRAIRIE DAWN."

Wait, are you telling me that grown adults who dress up as Spongebob Squarepants and harass tourists for handouts might not be the most stable individuals?

man that is the best picture I have seen today

Snuffleupagus wins because he is imaginary and invented by a high Big Bird.

Hollywood Spider-Man impersonator caught in legal web

Is "impersonator" really the right word here?

Psumek: LA Times had a much better headline:

I agree, the L.A. Times headline was perfect for the character involved.

I went to Hollywood and all I got was head-butted by Chewbacca.

Garble: Hollywood Spider-Man impersonator caught in legal web

Everyone knows Spiderman is in New York, not Los Angeles, so I would say he is an impersonator. Or are you saying that Spiderman is not a person because he is part spider? Then he could not be impersonated.

Why not throw in The Tick and Frekazoid while you're at it:



/just sayin'

Wow, this happened again? On the same main page?

"A man dressed as the horror film character Freddy Krueger was also taken into custody for allegedly stabbing someone, although no charges were filed."

Well what in the hell do you expect from a guy with knives for fingers?

Begin transmission #064

Neo would own all of them.

Imagine how lame it would be if people regularly pitted superheros against one another on some internet thread! Hahaha...oh, wait.

Elmo brought down Sesame Street singlehandedly.

Taking down Spider-Man and Chewbacca would be a piece of cake for him, methinks.

prickle27: Wait, the Rock Walk of Fame at the Guitar Center is pretty cool.

I recommend FUBAR and "Show us your junk" Thursdays in WeHo.

/Sometimes a man needs a free drink

prickle27: You can check out Keith Moon's drum kit.

Who?

prickle27: If any of you Farkers ever decide to come and visit L.A. Do yourself a favor and avoid the Chinese Theater. As a matter of fact it would probably be best if you avoided Hollywood all together. Wait, the Rock Walk of Fame at the Guitar Center is pretty cool. You can check out Keith Moon's drum kit.

If you can handle being a milquetoast white dude walking down the Bronx ~1986 you can handle anything. (USA at least)

Dude, Chewbacca ALWAYS wins! Hell, he gets to ride a Zamboni!





And he get's all the chicks!

I remember when the 501st was invited to a screening of Episode 2 at the Mann's and we all came out in full costume. We had to tell people 'Um, no, you're not getting in with us' when the posers in their homemade nasty costumes tried to join the assembly...

Everybody should watch "Confessions of a Superhero" at least once. It's both wonderfully funny and depressing.

Begun, the superhero wars have.

Jesus Christ, Tim McGraw has a star on the walk of Fame?

I work across the street from Grauman's. Those costumed losers are irritating to say the least.

And still, none of them could stop The God Damn Bat Man

Was in Hollywood with the family a few months ago.

The guys playing Jack Sparrow and the Joker were really professional and my son really got a kick out of having his picture taken with them....

But, yeah, the sleaze/scummy factor of the other impersonators was pretty high.

And the LA Lakers Elmo was a complete asswipe. He was the one I most wanted to punch. Damn near manhandled my kids and yelling "Dad, take our picture! C'mon, take a picture." It took an ITG scowl from me to drive him away.

So you were there with your children over the internet?

That thread didn't have Darth Cheney. *shudder*

DoughyGuy This just in... Police have issued a warrant for one Dr. Miles Warren...

NOTHING here is obscure. But it sounds like the M.O. of The Chamelon, we just need Obama's help with his b-ball skilz, yo;

I try, but people don't listen...

/we want to go to hollywood
//no you don't
///we want to see the sign and the handprints
////no you don't

Man, there's an elitist asshole for everything.

Wil Wheaton tweeting, about half an hour ago: "I think I'm going to dress up as Spiderman in front of Star Trek: The Exhibition and hassle people. Or Elmo. Maybe Elmo would be good, too."

Nothing's too obscure for a tmbg fan ;-)

He's got a fanny-pack, but I let it slide. There's no lockers on the street, he's gotta put his phone and his keys somewhere - he's not actually going to fight crime.

This is a bit by Paul F. Tompkins with a longish bit about exactly these Hollywood types. It's funny enough that some of you will probably like it. It's late, but relevant. And funny. Skip to 5:00 for the superheroes part.

Richard Roma: Everybody should watch "Confessions of a Superhero" at least once. It's both wonderfully funny and depressing.

Came here to say this. It's on Hulu. Incredible.

"Elmo knows where you live"

crap...crap...megacrap

And here is Superman lighting The Hulk's crack pipe. Seriously.

Don't go near these dregs of humanity. It sickens me when I walk to lunch and see unsuspecting tourists pushing their kids up against these people to take pictures...
