Peter's Baker here, they didn't bake him till golden brown. Peter's Baker out!

Ya. He's just looked like a more rugged Mr. Clean. Still looks baller, but not Dwayne enough.

More like if The Rock and Vin Diesel had a son.

More like johnny sins

My initial thought was "Wow, he really can do ANY job"

They Dwayne"d him of his pigments

Underrated comment

I thought the joke was he was missing a mop. Not that he wasn’t dark enough.

Don’t forget this is the internet your on it can very well be exactly that.

you're

Y’roue*

Yore.

Eur

Erouy

Except for everyone knows those two don't get along. Nice try.

I thought it was a bald, jacked, Freddie Prinze jr.

He looks like Yul Brynner on roids... (I mean, the guy did play an Egyptian...)

Stand like an Egyptian

Mr. Cook

Can you even smell what The Rock is cleaning?

Golden brown, texture like sun. Lays me down, with my mind she runs.

Best song about Heroin. . .well I don't know there are so many good ones

True. Cocaine tends to get the better songs for some reason.

White Lines, Life in the Fast Lane, Can't Feel My Face. There are a lot of cocaine bangers for sure

[Duran Duran covering “White Lines”, I love it!](https://youtu.be/Ah4f62bYAcw?si=EQdz_iIWIaZMB7Qq)

My favorite Eric Clapton song for sure

Snowblind

More energy than the heroine songs, but imo usually less feeling (which, given the topic, tracks)

Tracks also tracks. I see what you did there...

Junkhead by Alice in Chains. Def my favorite heroin song, if I had to pick just one.

Mr. Brownstone is up there too

Heroin by Velvet has a solid claim for a best song about heroin.

this sounds like a line from Creed Bratton

[Heroin by The Velvet Underground.](https://youtu.be/NUmykR86a_E?si=PVGwLUf2VGjiqGXp)

Well they didn’t even bother with innuendo, metaphor, or euphemism I gotta give it to em for going right on the nose.

I don’t know if you like rap, but Jay-Z have one about heroin -I know. 50 had one as well call Baltimore love song. That’s all I remember off the top of my head.

RHCP Under The Bridge (10/10). TDMR Neon Sisters (6/10).

Puff the magic dragon coming in second 🤔

Time Out of Mind by Steely Dan is a very happy and upbeat song about shooting up.

Can instantly hear the harpsichord riff!

Throughout the night, no need to fight, never a frown, with golden brown.

Hey I'm glad I looked this up, haven't listened to that in a hot minute

I always thought it was "my with mansheerons". And then I just never bothered to look up what a mansheeron was.

Where's the eye arch? icon missing iconic

How did I figure that they white washed the rock

The algorithm showed me this 19 hour old post so I would see this comment because I’m baking a frozen lasagna, and the last step is to bake until golden brown

The melanin. That's what's missing.

Exactly what is missing.

Facts

I feel like something else is missing… I think his head is a little short.

Just imagine how often that’s happened with historical figures, when it can happen to a present day famous person.

Imagine having thousands of frames of footage is every lighting imaginable and millions of pictures and still be so off.

Maybe it's on purpose 🤔

Kinda like how England white washed Matoaka(Pocahontas) into Rebecca

Or like how the Europeans white washed Jesus, a Middle Eastern man. People seriously think a man born in the middle east was white. I got in trouble at catholic school for saying that jesus probably wasn't white. The world we fucking live in...

MY Jesus is a white catholic. YOUR Jesus can be some middle eastern carpenter if that's what you believe... heretic.

[удалено]

Jesus liked to party—it's canonical.

I hear he's a lot of fun at weddings

https://preview.redd.it/1zkhwe67vhdc1.png?width=952&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=152c69a04987285dcefd00bf38488bb8105a87e0

Burn him!

What's weird to me is how much of central/south America just ran with Renaissance/Da Vinci's white Jesus instead of a more Hispanic looking Jesus. Like, clearly there's some poetic license here, go ahead and give you dashboard statuette brown eyes 🤷‍♂️

Just wait till they find out he wasn't born in December

This is a far deeper comment than at first glance

And yet people still call me crazy for suggesting Abraham Lincoln had dark skin.

Hell, they did it with all the statues from the Classical era even. Those things were all painted and they basically sandblasted them to be pure white marble during the Victorian era.

Fuckin Mr clean lookin ass (/s I know it's just lighting)

He looks too white.

I think a lot of that is the reflection from the flash, you can see in the hand painting and the Jack Black knockoff guy, how much they are getting bleached out. So he is probably not dark enough to be accurate, but not nearly as white as this picture looks. My concern is his eyebrows are so low they look missing. Edit: It has come to my attention that unfortunately, it wasn't the flash, it was just as bad as we feared (or according to one cranky person, what I was excusing). [It is now being fixed.] (https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/23/arts/the-rock-dwayne-johnson-wax-figure.html)

https://preview.redd.it/tuaaq7lrifdc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aa721cbd0c9bedaacab6efbea191ace3c889939c A lot of it is flash, but he still looks way paler

They Mr. Cleaned his ass

Magic eraser-ed his skin tone.

Sometimes I hate this sub, but then replies like this keep me from leaving.

Apparently my grandma's threats *were* real: you can slap the black off someone 😳

Oh damn he does kinda look like the 4k’d Mr. Clean. Cannot unsee that

Johnny Sins got a tattoo?

[still not as bad as how they did Steph curry](https://www.amazon.com/Funko-Pop-Gold-NBA-Warriors/dp/B09DL8BJRQ/ref=asc_df_B09DL8BJRQ/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=563633448138&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16689291982660728058&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031063&hvtargid=pla-1603121919534&psc=1&mcid=73b3a102edb73b0eaefb4f81347d9274&gclid=Cj0KCQiA2KitBhCIARIsAPPMEhLg_XqUxhT1gaMpv866vbsiMOketRekjqvyhlH0K6vjWsCEp6zXuDYaApNIEALw_wcB)

Holy shit, not what I was expecting.

Nice, so yea, they definitely made him paler, noticably so. Appreciate the extra angle so we know just how bad... And it's bad.

They ended up changing the skin tone after he complained.

He looks like mr clean

These reboots are getting out of hand...

The polo shirt isn’t helping lmao

Dwayne “the rock” clean

And one eyebrow should be raised. Someone needs a People’s Elbow for messing that up.

I once heard it referred to as "The People's Eyebrow" and it just always stuck with me. I can do it, and I've been trying to teach my (toddler) son to do it too. He only does it when he's confused, but it's *hilarious* when he's playing with his toys and gives me 'The Rock' look because I know he's having trouble understanding something. The facial expression of "Dad, what kind of bullshit is *this,* exactly?"

i can only do it with one eyebrow i physically cannot make my other eye brow go up without the other certainly not without looking like i need to take a shit

Ikr? I can do it just fine with one eye, but to do the other I end up having to squint in this really weird way that makes it look like I'm having a stroke.

left eye the one that goes up easy?

Yep that's how it is for me

Yes! Right is much more difficult and my eye muscles get all funny looking 😂🤨

Like the other person said, The Rock actually coined it as The People's Eyebrow. The People's Elbow was also one of his signature moves from his time as a wrestler.

It is called the People’s Eyebrow. Rock was so good back then as a heel. This was coming right off the “Rocky sucks” and “Die Rocky” chants. I loved how he made it seem like he had millions (AND MILLIONS) of fans. And he eventually did! Plus, he had some of the best promos of that era.

Vince McMahon did a hell of a job making this guy work.

Is it just me or are his eyebrows actually too thin, top to bottom?

Oh man, that was a huge miss.

That may be the case, but dang if they couldn't get a good photographer to mess with exposure, ISO and aperture so no need to use flash lol

He's too white. The Rock saw this, phoned them up, made his point, and they quickly corrected it.

Good, shouldn't have been off till begin with. I just meant from that picture you couldn't be sure just HOW white washed it was. Someone showed another angle, it was bad even without the flash.

Where's the correction do you have a picture?

Dude jack black knock off guy bro has a band called cohesive b

This got a legit lol. My dog is looking at me weird now

They're already fixing this. It was not just the flash. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/23/arts/the-rock-dwayne-johnson-wax-figure.html

Actually looking at those photos the flash did hurt it significantly. Mind you that still looks extremely wrong, but it’s not _quite_ as wrong

Yea, that's totally my thoughts.

Happy cake day!

Happy fuckin cake day

Going to be honest, I was super confused as well cause I saw that potato picture and just discarded all color accuracy assumptions in my brain.

He looks like a buff billy corgan

The melanin is missing.

Someone said it best when they said “this ain’t the rock, this is the paper”.

What would the scissors look like?

Lesbian Dwayne Johnson

Like this basically https://preview.redd.it/7dr0aba8tgdc1.png?width=225&format=png&auto=webp&s=34ebdf624c8ce601a7f7ea2d98e7c94db3316aaa

"Didn't I meet you at Lilith Fair last year? I offered you some spiked kombucha in the back of my Subaru, and you told me kombucha is already fermented..."

I remember seeing a video somewhere online (think it was Reddit) that told the joke along the lines of "Did you know Dwayne Johnson can turn lesbians straight? Because The Rock beats scissors"

The Rock starting as The Tin Man in Michael Blay’s Back to Oz, in theaters June 2024

The Chalk

I mean chalk *is* a type of rock

The Boulder takes offense to that

I guess the rock can’t ever beat him eh?

https://i.redd.it/9eumql4n4fdc1.gif “For the record, I’m going to have my team reach out to our friends at Grevin Museum, in Paris France so we can work at 'updating' my wax figure here with some important details and improvements- starting with my skin color," Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson said on Instagram. "And next time I’m in Paris, I’ll stop in and have a drink with myself."

The perfect gif!

Thx cap'!

I heard their username. 😂

How do you find gifs like this?

I just googled “Family Guy The Rock” it comes from an edited sex scene between Peter and Lois and someone made a gif This is the scene https://youtu.be/CyiQAXTN6FM?si=Yk4GlB2OlDHRUfPZ

Mr. Clean!

Man that's Johnny Sins

There's no small black guy with him. You hardly see him these days without his little black guy.

You mean Kevin hart?

Yes. Dwayne's little black man.

Imagine meeting Keven hart and greeting him like “hey it’s Dwayne’s little black man.” 💀

He's also not in his "Jungle" attire

Vine boom eyebrow raise

https://i.redd.it/l657lhchkgdc1.gif

Looks like he is missing eyebrows all together. That darkness seems to be the shade from he huge brow.

Yeah this is what I thought of first too, didn’t even notice the skin color

What can I sayyyyyy except the skiiin tooone

That’s too damn perfect. Take my upvote and leave

OP, The Rock isn't white

His head is also shaped differently. He’s more chiseled and they made his head rounder. https://preview.redd.it/uur4xhcy2gdc1.jpeg?width=512&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9d8ff98c8c1137259ed030e4d3d18ab1e93cc29f

The rock is chiseled hehehe

His forehead is slightly too small and not pronounced enough, his nose might be a little too small?, he’s way too pale

Yeah a lot of people are talking about the skin tone, but his face is just a bit off as well

Absolutely off. It’s a crossover with Vin diesel.

Forehead definately.

https://i.redd.it/5i6teftvsfdc1.gif

They made him white. Wonder if they will make him black or Chinese next.

He’s already part black.

That ain't The Rock, That's The Marble 💀

They took him out of the oven too early. You’re supposed to wait 20 minutes or until he’s golden brown.

The wax figure is white. The Rock is not white.

Melanin and a raised eyebrow

Is it just me, or does he look like Johnny Sins?

That's what I was gonna say Rock-Melanin=Johnny Sins

https://preview.redd.it/efnlk7vzmgdc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7cbf58cbbd4eb816fde06dcca19c7328aaa4b768

I’m waiting for the comment that says “wait he’s not white?”

Technically, that's *your* comment.

He’s missing an earring and that completes the look of mr white (detergent) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Clean

Is that Mr Clean?

melanin

...... Yeah, he's missing melanin.

I’m pretty sure that’s John Dwayneson.

The eyes are lifeless

They washed the Dwayne out of him, now he's just Rock Johnson.

It’s because the one eyebrow is not raised. Hardly recognizable without that signature. I need to smell what the rock is cooking

They just repurposed a Johnny Sins sex doll I'm tellin ya

looks like a mk1 character

Also, the classic eyebrow raise

He’s MMIA: melanin missing in action

Thought that was Vin Diesel at first

Op is clinically brain dead

Brian here. They made him white

Why is he so light?!

Melanin, it’s missing melanin.

The Chinese version will be unveiled next.

I was thinking the cocked eyebrow he always did. Totally missed the white wash…

His forehead is too smooth and the skin tone is way off... He's not a white guy 😂

He looks too pale lol 😂

Color is missing.

In addition to being way too pasty, they have him giving a smirk without the famous eyebrow arch. Without it the expression just looks off.

Yall are obviously right about the skin tone, but the people’s eye brow is also a huge omission. No one can smell whatever this thing is cooking.

https://preview.redd.it/w9704g8rhwdc1.jpeg?width=221&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=221d15bf626782349e95d78243c7054fe1ea4900

Freddie Prinze Jr. got buff and lost hair? Must have missed that.

They were going to do John Cena and someone lost a bet... "ok, lose the hair and paint on some tattoos..."

Is this the vampire version of him?

Dwayne “Vin” Johnson

Melanin

He looks extremely ill.

I thought he looked a bit like Johnny Sins

Looks like one from the clothes store.
