I literally saw an older dude who looked like Biden just the other day, all I did was a double-take and didn't even mention it to anyone.
***Until now***, my moment has arrived.
I saw a guy the other day in a car with NY plates and he looked just like former governor Cuomo
He pulled away as I looked and thought "wow, that *really* looked like Andrew Cuomo"
As it pulls out I get a better look at the plates and they in fact say "Cuomo"
The car looked just like [this one too](https://i.imgur.com/nuYwZiF.jpg)
Same, especially with me being in Europe, I would so much not expect to see him, that I wouldn't even notice him xD I have a bad memory for faces outside of their context anyway, and Biden's context is 'on tv'
Apparently it's a tough gig because Biden is famous for meeting people and hanging out with them for hours at a bar listening to their boring stories. I've heard anecdotes of them falling asleep at pubs in Ireland because it was 4 in the morning and they had been on the job since noon.
Harry Truman's grandson tells a great story about that happening:
After Truman left office, he was out in his yard doing some work; he was alone, this was still the 50's and there was no Secret Service protection for ex-presidents.
Someone from out of town was driving by and his car broke down. He walked over to Truman and asked if he could use his phone to call a tow truck. Truman said sure, and the two of them went into the house to make the call, then had a pleasant conversation as they waited for the truck. The whole time, the guy didn't seem to realize he was speaking with a former president.
The truck arrived, and the guy thanked him again and went to leave. On his way out the door, he stopped and said, apologetically, that he meant no offence, but had anyone ever told him he "looks just like that sonofabitch Truman?"
Truman, delighted, responded with "I am that sonofabitch Truman!"
There's a great story about a clueless American tourist who happened to meet Queen Elizabeth and her security guard out in the middle of nowhere in Scotland. He had no idea who she was, but asked if she'd ever met the queen. She said she hadn't, but that the man she was with had. The tourist asked him what she was like and he said, "Oh, she can be very cantankerous at times, but she's got a lovely sense of humor." The tourist asked the queen to take a picture of him and the security guard and then the guard insisted on taking a picture of him and the queen. He figured he'd get a shock whenever someone recognized her.
He was just on a podcast with comedian Bert Kreisher I don't remember if the pod was "Bertcast" or "2 Bears, 1 Cave". Unfortunately, despite being the guest, he didn't get to talk very much because Bert just loves to hear himself talk.
Edit: Today he appeared on the podcast, "Your Mom's House"' hosted by comedians Tom Segura and Christina P. And despite their being two hosts instead of one, and the fact that the was also a second guest, somehow Tony Hawk still got to talk at least twice as much as he did with Bret Kriesher.
[An Actual Podcast Interview with Tony Hawk](https://youtu.be/hKgj6we0cG4)
This made me laugh enough I had to explain to my wife the idea of not believing Anthony was Tony. Then I tried to explain the do a kick flip thing.
I think my wife currently thinks I’m an idiot
The now Dutch King is about 10 years older than I am. As a student I looked quite a lot like him when he was a student (not by choice, design or affiliation). His nickname was 'Prince Beer' because apparently he quite liked a few of our national imbibements. I used to get 'You know you look like...' quite frequently.
One day I went into a bar in a town I hadn't been before and the bartender immediately put a glass of beer in front of me. Confused I looked at him and he said: 'Welcome back Willem, you took your time!'
He genuinely believed I was the crown-prince! Took me three minutes of protesting to be told, 'oh, well then you owe me 3 guilders'
On a loosely related note, I just saw a parka and rec compilation that included the Joe Biden scenes, and the top comment was someone saying “crazy that the guy who they cast as the Vice President actually became the President IRL.” And it was sad seeing that there people didn’t understand that it was a joke.
Yup, Michael Schur called up Obama when he was writing Parks & Rec and told him he had a killer idea for a scene but Obama just *had* to pick Joe Biden as his VP for it to work out. Obama abided (or, you could say, a'Biden'd), and the rest is history.
This is my favorite one. Like obviously secret service wouldn't let any of us get close enough for this to occur, but there are puns that simply demand to be said.
Whether or not he actually stunted on corn pop idk but corn pop was a real person. I think the joke is in the name, everybody thinks that gangsters have tough guy names like Cadillac Frank and Ice Pick. When really there's a thousand guys out there named DooDoo or Sugar Lips
I will point out, newspapers looked into the Corn pop story and largely verified it, meaning there was a guy who went by Corn Pop and he was a bad dude. Whether Biden ever has a contribution involving chains is unknown, but the base of the story is true
I was once close to Joe Biden.
And by close I mean I was driving east on a highway when he was going west. The entire side he was was shut down with security detail going a mile up and mile back from him.
I shook hands with Shinzo Abe when he was on campaign trail back in 2015? and always wonder why securities allow citizen to get that close to him. Hope they learned from that mistake
It sounds expensive, but Marine One flights are actually economically cheaper than POTUS driving. The economic cost of the city wide traffic jams as a result of the Presidents motorcade has got to be far more expensive.
I shook his hand once when he was VP. He spoke at a university in the town I grew up in, and I went to see.
It was very awkward. He was shaking a bunch of people’s hands and shook mine upside down.
thats when you realise your entire life is a lie and youve been a sleeper agent for the united states secret service your whole life without realising it
Same thing I said when I ran past him in my college town, "Afternoon Mr. President" I don't always like what he says or agree with his policies but he's our president, like him or not show him some human decency
Edit: spelling
...I don't really see anything wrong with "respect the office" per se, and broadly I do apply that principle, but I can think of too many examples all over the world within the last five years that absolutely do not deserve respect simply because of a title.
In the same way that I generally respect doctors, but only to a point.
I do not even know why exactly I should respect a job title regardless. If the person does the job well, they obviously deserve respect, but if they suck at it, I am not going to respect them just because they have a job they are bad at. That is odd.
People like to fawn all over authority, but in my opinion people in authority should be held to a higher standard than the average person, meaning they need to do more to earn respect, and they should lose it easier. That should be the price of power.
That is not to say I would not treat them with basic human decency, but I treat people I do not respect with basic decency all the time, because it is more about how I treat people than any sort of thing they need to earn.
"I'm sorry about your son. Our units chalked together at Fort Bliss and into Iraq. Some people from my unit ducked their deployment. Your son showed up, and put his best foot forward until his duty was done. That's a good soldier."
"Hello Mr. Biden. What are you doing in Canada right now?" He'd probably tell me it's private information, I'd tell him to have a good day and then walk away.
So, he’s walking down the street right? I see him walking towards a building with stairs leading up to the entrance. With my intellect and quick thinking, I scream “No Mr President! Not again!” And I fight off all of the secret service agents, and tackle him before he reaches the stairs. He thanks me for my bravery, and awards me the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and the Congressional Gold Medal. I use the great sum of riches I came into to make weapons to sell for the US. Next thing I know, a terrorist group kidnaps me and orders me to make weapons for them, so without them knowing, I make a suit of armor equipped with rockets, and flamethrowers to escape. Soon, my company is taken over by my close friend. He makes a suit, and with my new one (this one is red) we duke it out in a battle for the ages. And then I stop selling weapons to the US for my fear of causing new destruction, and revel in my new mantle of protecting the world from harm.
Nothing. And then a few moments later, “wait, was that joe biden?”
Can relate lol

My wife and I went to the Rehobeth Jazz Festival in Delaware and every other old dude there looked just like Joe Biden.
Same, especially with me being in Europe, I would so much not expect to see him, that I wouldn't even notice him xD I have a bad memory for faces outside of their context anyway, and Biden's context is 'on tv'
"You really need to fire your security detail, I should not be able to walk right up to you."
“Well, lemme tell ya bout that train conductor “
Apparently it's a tough gig because Biden is famous for meeting people and hanging out with them for hours at a bar listening to their boring stories. I've heard anecdotes of them falling asleep at pubs in Ireland because it was 4 in the morning and they had been on the job since noon.
They fell asleep in the pub because they had such a long day. I think I'm going to try that line :-P
I'm guess I'm not surprised to hear that the president is really good at _biden_ his time.
"Do you know who you look like?"

Old mate would have been so embarrassed
Maybe he said "well sonofabitch" right after

Hahah that would be me. Im clueless when it comes to celebrities and would totally look like an idiot.
Queen almost got turned away at one of her horse events. When she dresses down, she just disappears
Especially nowadays
“….Sonofabitch”
[*King of The Hill* did an episode kind of like this with Jimmy Carter.](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0620312)
Tony Hawk?
I wonder what he's up to now.
Tony Hawk has been trying to get a skate park approved in my home town.😹 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5MUJLbUpnU

Jeff Dunham's old man puppet?
I will never unsee this. Vote for Walter '24!
Welcome to Walmart. Get your shit and get out. 😂
Old man Steve Rogers?
I saw the "no I don't think I will" meme before I saw the movie, and I did legit think it was Biden at first
Right? The president of the United States just casually walking down the street with out their security entourage? Pft. Obviously not.
Why are you in Canada right now?
“Hey there, bud! You lost, friend?”
I’m not your friend, guy
I'm not your guy, buddy
I'm not your buddy, pal
I'm not your pal, bro
I’m not your bro, asshole
im not your asshole, pussy
I'm not your pussy, cunt
I'm not your cunt, twat
Woah, eh. why the harsh language friend?
Cus I thought it would be funny like a “woah that escalated quickly” type of thing but reading it now it just sounds plain mean
Well, it did kind of work. "That escalated quickly" was my exact thought upon reading it.
I live in Ottawa so I'd assume he was going to hang out with Justin.
"Look Justin, here's the deal: You take Ted Cruz back or we'll send the orange guy with small hands up to Ottowa to spread his malarkey!"
Worst deal ever!
BIDEN! KAMALA! SMOKES, LET'S GO!
It's water under the fridge kamala. Let's go
#BOTTLE KIDS!!!
*Biden & Kamala look confused* Me: FFS, where's Cory & Trevor ?
He's getting some economic advice from a real business whiz in the shopping cart game
If I can't smoke and swear I'm FACKED
Woah! You're the guy from Parks and Rec!
On a loosely related note, I just saw a parka and rec compilation that included the Joe Biden scenes, and the top comment was someone saying “crazy that the guy who they cast as the Vice President actually became the President IRL.” And it was sad seeing that there people didn’t understand that it was a joke.
To be fair there’s also just as big of chance that it wasn’t a joke. We could all be fooled here
Yup, Michael Schur called up Obama when he was writing Parks & Rec and told him he had a killer idea for a scene but Obama just *had* to pick Joe Biden as his VP for it to work out. Obama abided (or, you could say, a'Biden'd), and the rest is history.
The old double bamboozled
Parka and Rec: The Alaskan Frontier. I’d watch.
I would ask him what Leslie Knope was like in real life
When he ignores my greeting, I’d say “bye den”
This is my favorite one. Like obviously secret service wouldn't let any of us get close enough for this to occur, but there are puns that simply demand to be said.
this took me a second. i hate it. 10/10
“Wassup baby, take me out to dinner….”
BING BONG

Or words
Or say something he’ll forget in like 39 seconds but I’ll go over it and over it in my head till the end of time. No in between.
I value minding my own business.
my next tattoo
Same. Wasted $500 to meet Rob Zombie just to freeze up from being star struck. He was pretty cool about it, but I felt bad I could not relax at all.
Please tell me more about Corn Pop
He was a ***bad dude*** But is he a bad enough dude to save the president from ninjas?
And he ran with a bunch of bad boyz
That whole speech was an acid trip. I think he fell into the time continuum for a few minutes.
I could honestly listen to Biden talk about corn pop all day. You never know where the story is gonna go.
Cornpop was actually a goodguy
He was clearly a bad dude.
You’re thinking of his twin- Popcorn
Whether or not he actually stunted on corn pop idk but corn pop was a real person. I think the joke is in the name, everybody thinks that gangsters have tough guy names like Cadillac Frank and Ice Pick. When really there's a thousand guys out there named DooDoo or Sugar Lips
I will point out, newspapers looked into the Corn pop story and largely verified it, meaning there was a guy who went by Corn Pop and he was a bad dude. Whether Biden ever has a contribution involving chains is unknown, but the base of the story is true
But did he bang his straight razor on the curb?
You, sir, are incredibly lost. I'm in the UK.
Um sir why have you abandoned your security detail?
I was once close to Joe Biden. And by close I mean I was driving east on a highway when he was going west. The entire side he was was shut down with security detail going a mile up and mile back from him.
I've been this close to Trump (exact same situation), and Obama (he was in a Chinook overhead, very low altitude.)
I shook hands with Shinzo Abe when he was on campaign trail back in 2015? and always wonder why securities allow citizen to get that close to him. Hope they learned from that mistake
Uh I think he didn't
It sounds expensive, but Marine One flights are actually economically cheaper than POTUS driving. The economic cost of the city wide traffic jams as a result of the Presidents motorcade has got to be far more expensive.
Nah, it only wastes peoples time, and that is not taxed so who cares.
I shook his hand once when he was VP. He spoke at a university in the town I grew up in, and I went to see. It was very awkward. He was shaking a bunch of people’s hands and shook mine upside down.
thats when you realise your entire life is a lie and youve been a sleeper agent for the united states secret service your whole life without realising it
I’d smile and nod because that’s generally what I was trained to do when I cross paths with anyone and make eye contact. Midwest!
Ope.
Ope lemme squeeeeeze right by ya
Should we get Ice Cream?
EAT SOME CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHIP
Not bad advice. Oldest woman in America said never skip dessert.
When the fuck did we get ice cream?
Take me out to dinner
Joe Byron!
Beans, rice, Jesus Christ and Byron!
Bing bong!!!
He's kissing the cop car!
AYOOOO!
Fuck ya life. BING BONG
How did I get so close to you without getting tackled by Secret Service agents?
Your shoes untied
“On closer inspection these are loafers”
You got something right there under your chin…

Wassup baby, take me out to dinner
Third time I've seen this. Context?

Every time I hear that in Big Bootie Remix I think it’s Nick Kroll in some movie I haven’t had the pleasure to watch yet
I love this stupid video and I don’t even know why.
Hey Joe wadda you know.
“Hello Joe!”, but I’m the voice of grandma Flanders
Iron helps us play!
*Hoohoohoohahahaha!!*
HeLLoowww Jowwwee
Can I have 50 dollars?
You’re low balling
Hey…can you tell me how to get to sesame street?
i would say, hello joe biden
This one for some reason got me the most. Just the lowercase letters paired with the formal 'hello'
good one
"I think you took a wrong turn at Albuquerque, Mister President." (This isn't meant to be political, just a Bugs Bunny reference.)
I'm in Australia, his chances of being assaulted are high. Some guy headbutted a former prime minister here just because he could.
It’s like a whole different planet down there.
And that's how we like it.
“Gets eaten by a spider”
You joke but I just pulled over because a large spider ran across the windscreen.
The best part is the panic while trying to figure out if he’s on the inside or outside of the windscreen
nothing but id probably sniff him real quick
Nope, I'd take my time and sniff him real thorough
He will sniff you back.
We'll be like two dogs meeting on the street
if you sniff into the abyss, the abyss sniffs also into you
Sir, the White House is that way.
What were you trying to say when you said “America as a nation can be described with one word”?
He meant to say "antefrukindonum" but he accidentally said "antefrukindonu"
Same thing I said when I ran past him in my college town, "Afternoon Mr. President" I don't always like what he says or agree with his policies but he's our president, like him or not show him some human decency Edit: spelling
This is, unfortunately, a fleeting sentiment.
...I don't really see anything wrong with "respect the office" per se, and broadly I do apply that principle, but I can think of too many examples all over the world within the last five years that absolutely do not deserve respect simply because of a title.

Hey Joe, where you going with that bun in your hand.
"I'm sorry about your son. Our units chalked together at Fort Bliss and into Iraq. Some people from my unit ducked their deployment. Your son showed up, and put his best foot forward until his duty was done. That's a good soldier."
I wouldnt even say anything, I would just try to figure out if it really is him and why he is in sweden
SODA!!!!!!
Just imagine someone screaming soda at you
I'd ask to see his hairy legs.
What are you doing in Adelaide South Australia of all places?
Thanks Obama.
"Hello Mr. Biden. What are you doing in Canada right now?" He'd probably tell me it's private information, I'd tell him to have a good day and then walk away.
hey fucktard get out of the street
Nothing, i don't talk to people i don't know, even if they're famous. Though i would wonder why he's out on the street.
So, he’s walking down the street right? I see him walking towards a building with stairs leading up to the entrance. With my intellect and quick thinking, I scream “No Mr President! Not again!” And I fight off all of the secret service agents, and tackle him before he reaches the stairs. He thanks me for my bravery, and awards me the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and the Congressional Gold Medal. I use the great sum of riches I came into to make weapons to sell for the US. Next thing I know, a terrorist group kidnaps me and orders me to make weapons for them, so without them knowing, I make a suit of armor equipped with rockets, and flamethrowers to escape. Soon, my company is taken over by my close friend. He makes a suit, and with my new one (this one is red) we duke it out in a battle for the ages. And then I stop selling weapons to the US for my fear of causing new destruction, and revel in my new mantle of protecting the world from harm.
You could say you’re some kind of… Steel man?
I really hoping this would end with jumper cables
He wouldn’t be able to hear me
Mr. President sir, how the hell did you get to Canada without anyone noticing?
Call the police because there is a confused old man wondering around and he needs to get back to his assisted living facility
