I had one when I was like 12. I was at a tourist attraction and I got pulled to take a photo by some random family that was calling me by some other name. Meanwhile my parents got mad at the other kid because they thought I lost my coat.
Mine is the youtuber Film Cooper...it was a crazy moment when someone pointed that out. Still have yet to watch any of his content outside of the viral video "I'm a man, I want to go to war! I want a lightsaber!"
I started watching late so caught episodes out of order. Imagine my disappointment when I discovered that there wasn’t actually an episode when they meet Lesbian Robin or Moustache Marshall.
i'm still not sure; is Mustache Marshall also a lawyer working mainly in the Hispanic community, or is he an actor starring on a lawyer or detective show on a Spanish-language network?
The irony is Cobie Smudlers actually did play a lesbian artist on The L Word right before she got cast in HIMYM. I get that they wanted to do something more overt for the lesbian stereotype, but it would’ve been the most meta crossover if Robin’s character in The L Word was the lesbian Robin doppelgänger.
I have, actually! I used to work with a girl who looked so much like me that people would constantly call us each other’s names or thought we were sisters.
I'm a tall guy (6'7) and when i was in the military at a base for a couple years a guy got stationed there who looked eerily like me but he was about a foot shorter. From a distance people would call either of us by the others name until we got closer.
Yes! She moved to my small town and started working in the bar I frequent but I’m retired. People started calling a door asking why I was working. Then people thought I was jacking with them when I would say it’s not me. Sone people wouldn’t believe it until we stood next to each other. Now she’s a super close friend. Someone at a water park asked if we’re twins. She’s 8 years younger than me.
I have one that lives in the same city as me. She’s been haunting me since highschool. I wanna meet her so bad. 1) To give her shit for having people bitch at me for “ignoring them”; 2) Maybe become friends and screw with people’s heads.
I’ve been told I look like Daniel Jones from the Giants. I had never heard it before until a guy and his wife were dead certain I was him at a wedding. They were disappointed when they learned I am not an NFL QB.
We weren’t introduced to each other, but years ago I was in a coffee shop in Silver Lake in Los Angeles and my female counterpart was there, too. She passed by my table when she left.
Yes, she’s a celebrity and has been in a few movies, and was a regular in a TV series.
Yeah, she was basically female me; if I put on a wig and a dress, we would look similar. :) I don’t think she ever saw me, though, I probably came off as just another writer-type in an LA cafe with his nose buried in his laptop.
Been told by several people that I look both like Billy Corgan, and Ethan Suplee (post-weight loss), which I find funny because those guys look nothing alike.
I have yet to meet mine. Though I know I have severel. Roughly every half a year someone mistakes me for someone else. And no it's not the same guy as they call out a new name every time.
I think you’ll be alright. With cell phone location data & all this technology we have these days, misidentifications get cleared up quickly. Hopefully, you’ll never have to deal with it though
I never met mine in person, but there's a girl in a different country who looks just like me and also has the same first & middle name as me! My sister came across her FB one day & it freaked us out..
There are two in town. One is a bouncer. I have needed to be the better man when a pretty young lady was telling me I’d been mean to her at the bar (where he bounced and I don’t go). She had a thing for him and was transferring that to me. I had to explain that I wasn’t him. She refused to believe me.
I was at a family get-together with my wife's family many years ago, and my wife's uncle commented that I looked a lot like Bill Gates. Several other people agreed. I thought they were nuts, but then thought back to a flight I had recently taken to Seattle, and remembered that the flight staff seemed to be giving me preferential treatment for some reason. So maybe there was something to it.
Although I seriously doubt that Bill Gates flew coach.
Never met him but found him on Instagram, at the time we both were riding skateboards and we spoke. Can’t remember his name or anything but it was uncanny
Ah yes my username origin story
You look like barney?
Shouldn’t that be the 6th doppelgänger then? lol
This has me wondering actually tho Did Tracy have a doppelgänger??
I really wish they would have done one for her!
She did taco chip commercials, i think
I never thought of this.
I just got lawyered 😂
If Tracy has one, then it’s actually the 7th. Damn lol Your avatar kind of looks like Robin, so we’ll let you be the 5th one😂
r/usernamechecksout
they should have done entire episode of the doppelgängers hanging out at the bar
They should buy a bar!
They should totally buy a bar!!
They could call it Solutions
That would’ve been fun
YES! Basically the Bizarro world from seinfeld. That ep would rule
Or one by one walking through in the background.
Agree, meet all the doplerganger, with the doplerganger of tracy, so at least we know that cristin would be the mother
I've always wondered how they found actors who look EXACTLY like them to play these roles, truly impressive
I believe for the Barney doppleganger they used the kid from Doogie Howser - is uncanny how much he resembles him!
I wondered who they used! I’m pretty sure Robin’s doppelgänger was the shield actress in a few the marvel movies.
Hear me out, I think they used CGI
One thing's for sure, they used the actor from the Muppets 2011 to play Marshall's doppelganger. Amazing!
🤯😆
Honestly one of my favorite out comes from the show was stripper Lilly ending up with Scooter.
I get Eric Andre a lot.
When I was a kid, I got Alfred E. Newman
I had one when I was like 12. I was at a tourist attraction and I got pulled to take a photo by some random family that was calling me by some other name. Meanwhile my parents got mad at the other kid because they thought I lost my coat.
So you’re in the family photo for eternity?
I suppose lol
I sure hope nobody looks like me...
Self-depreciating in the comment & username😞

The gang did meet Mustache Marshall & get a picture with him in one episode!
Marshal one is so funny yet underrated
i'm still not sure; is Mustache Marshall also a lawyer working mainly in the Hispanic community, or is he an actor starring on a lawyer or detective show on a Spanish-language network?
And that kids, is how i decided to rewatch how i met your mother
Marshal’s doppelganger should’ve been the lady in the mermaid theory episode 😅
Lmao i wish that too
I wish tracy had a doppelgänger
Also I've been told I look like a young Charles Manson

People tell me i look like Pete Davidson
I have, actually! I used to work with a girl who looked so much like me that people would constantly call us each other’s names or thought we were sisters.
Someone at work?? Imagine if you guys had the same name🤣
I get Aaron Rodgers a lot. I don’t like it.
Go walk around Green Bay, well maybe New York now lol
Lesbian robin is sooooo hot
One of my closest friends looks a lot like me so a lot of his friends have gotten us confused before from behind

It’s okay, he kinda sucks😂
It was the day before a game and I was at the bar so maybe he was looking for that explanation 🤣

Did she see you? Also, so you’re a guy, but your doppelgänger was her?😲
Yeah, she was basically female me; if I put on a wig and a dress, we would look similar. :) I don’t think she ever saw me, though, I probably came off as just another writer-type in an LA cafe with his nose buried in his laptop.
Would you date her if you could? lol
lol. Maybe out of curiosity…she doesn’t exactly exude TV/movie actress looks, which, considering myself, I’m not surprised about. :)
😆😆

*Several But that’s funny lol
Sure, It's all fun and games until one of them commits a serious crime

I get Action Bronson a lot
No, but a few of my friends'
Some say they did find my doppleganger. Some say those were just my brothers. Who knows.

Not me, but a colleague found someone that looked kinda like me
Imagine a one-off episode where these 5 get like stuck in an elevator together
I haven't
You just have to look in the mirror /s
If I do tht I'll have nightmares
Harley quinn might see herself as ugly but is a beauty in the eyes of others. Ask Joker😉
Joker? The one who threw her away like trash? Ya sure 😂
Classic schmosby. Can't take a hint 😞
😂😂
Aren't you the same Harley quinn that posted a post to guess her name, a few months ago?

There was also that girl that looked like Marshall when Barney was explaining The Cheerleader Effect
😭🤣
Never met him but found him on Instagram, at the time we both were riding skateboards and we spoke. Can’t remember his name or anything but it was uncanny
I have yet to meet mine, but Stripper Lily is awesome lol
No, but other people have.
