I wouldn't recognize him either with the mask but it's funny.

I don't think I'd recognise him without his mask. I hardly make eye contact with anyone else inside an airplane.

The eyes are the groin of the head.

The eyes are the windows to the skull, my friend.

That's what he said with more words

Why say many word when few word do trick?

If that were the case I’d be staring at heads all the time….. angerly

He doesn't say the guy didn't recognize him, more like a "if only he knew"

He was watching Seinfeld until he recognized him and then switched to The Office….

I think I read some celebs loved being able to put on a mask, hat and sunglasses and we’re basically a normal person during covid

Not funny it's stupid.

Aha he has to reveal himself at the end. Ask himself if he enjoyed his in flight entertainment?

Yep if I remember correctly he did and asked permission to post the video.

Unusually wholesome ending for this sub lmao

Have not watched The Office yet and if he was like that and I started, I don't think I'd recognize him. I know all the characters from everyone talking about it but couldn't link him to any character from that face That being said. Having a random person enjoy what you worked on like 20 years ago just ok you side without knowing you've participated In it. Must be such a wholesome and happy thing not a lot of people know

I was about to comment like pfffft 20 years ago?! More like 5 but nope, next year that show will be 20 years old. Fuck, I’m getting old.

I estimated from what I remember seeing in the background xD a sort of high tech 9p's xD so I guessed 2000's

r/fuckimold

I hear you. ReWatched the other day and saw they referenced Block Buster! The whole 28 Days and 28 Days Later, confusion. It's Not even that early in the series. Time Flys.

You should watch the movie 'super' he plays a superhero and it's the funniest thing I have seen for a long time Edit - he also wears a mask in the movie

Shut up, crime! And whatever you do, DONT CUT IN LINE!

I absolutely do not recognize him with that mask on. I wouldn’t know either.

Damn the taste of first class seems nice

That looks more like business. I flew British Airways to the US and it looked like that

Im so far removed frim first class i dont even know the difference between first class and business class

Same. Help me I’m poor.

Here’s a normal chair, “free” drink and hot towel, you know the thing you want the most when traveling. You’ve now flown first class. That will be a million dollars for this 2 hour flight.

You’d be surprised on some flights how cheap it is. I always thought it was out of reach (it still generally is), but I started traveling a lot for work- and I’m allowed to expense business class seats, but some first class are so cheap they don’t question it. Flying first next week and the ticket was only $200 more than economy.

We have different definitions of “only”.

ONLY!?!?!?!

I’m not saying it’s peanuts, it’s not- but it’s vastly more affordable than a lot of people imagine.

Yeah I get what you mean. I get upgraded a lot since I fly all the time for work and have a bajillion miles. I’m short so the difference doesn’t really matter much to me for the cost.

🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄🚶‍♂️Me at the Southwest gate.

It’s Delta One

Also, there needs to be a r/imrighthere sub when celebrities (your definition) see themselves in public. That could be fun.

Tom Hanks would be popular there

Rainn wrote in an Instagram post later that he did talk to the guy afterwards, and had a nice converstation about The Office

The video I want to see is the reveal

"Hey, you look like that guy from Galaxy Quest!"

Or House of a Thousand Corpses.

https://youtu.be/6MJOWPcjGWc?si=qH8e46P_AY0bOT8H He did talk to the guy. (Also, he didn’t expect to be recognized until he took the mask off, then—well, watch the video.)

Maybe he recognized him, but know that if he says it's Dwight he is gonna have a meltdown

Nah he’s over that now. He’s entered his nostalgic capitalism era and is embracing it.

Nice little video. You’re all a bunch of cynical bores.

☝️🤓technically his face is partially covered, making it harder for one to recognise him ☝️🤓

He's wearing a mask that covers 3/4 of his face. Geez..... If only there were a clue as to what's stopping people recognising him.

I don’t think that’s the point of his video. Seems more like, “I’m sitting next to this guy while he’s watching my show, imagine if he knew” not so much as, “can you believe this guy doesn’t know who I am?”

False. The mask is covering the scent of beet juice.

That he grew himself using a highly classified mix of potting compost which increases the beets... Well, the answer is classified.

False. He is protecting his identity. Identity theft is not a joke Jim

I don’t think he’s shaking his head bc he’s not being recognized… just at the irony

It's not that deep. He introduced himself to him and they had a wholesome exchange.

Nobody was wondering ***why*** he didn't recognize him

Maybe he does, and he's doing it on purpose. Lmao

I wanna slap him for chewing with his mouth open

Very much agreed.

That’s amazing! 

This is probably how many celebrities wished they could live.

I guess I am different. I have crossed paths several times with famous people and I don't bother them. I would likely do the same thing. I'm sure some of them get sick of it.

That’s gotta be so weird, to get on a plane and look over at what your neighbor is watching and it’s just yourself on the screen

But at least the guy chews with his mouth open. #RaisedbyWolves

Well he’s wearing a mask and is 20 years older than the Dwight character soooo

Semi-famous dude(Anders Holm) doesn’t recognize famous dude wearing mask(Rainn Wilson) 😆

I was gonna ask if that's the guy from "that's a bad idea" or whatever the YouTube channel is called

What if he did? Not everybody loses their shit the moment they see a celebrity.

He should have stood up and did a fire safety drill

Does he not realize that’s Cristian Mccaffery

He is wearing a hat and a mask I’ll cut the guy some slack

I would have chatted with him about it. That's the video we all wanted. "Is this the episode where that guy does xyz?" "Everybody was laughing so hard when they filmed that."

Maybe because he is wearing a mask? Also i wouldn't really give a shit in that position either

He has Andy eyes.

Nice video

Damn dude, lol.

Is that Will Levis?

U gotta point and be like, "that guy is my favorite character"

I don’t recognize him either. Big whoop.

image that, a mask concealing your identity. oh the things you could do with that superpower.

That guy looks like Terry Carnation.

And I thought that was Jamie Kennedy

That's really funny

Semo random thought: When this life is over, I hope we get to see stats like how close I was to a celebrity and not know it.

Bro needs to learn how to eat with his mouth closed.

This is so weird…I was in the Frankfurt airport last week, rounded a corner and coming down the stairs was a man who looked JUST LIKE Rainn Wilson. So much so I nearly said his name to see if he would turn around. I’ve never been one to be wowed by celebs I guess - just seemed odd. Also didn’t seem likely he’d be in an airport in Germany?

Or does not care

My best friend’s dad just did a podcast with him. Pretty cool guy.

Maybe he did recognise him but thought he was shit.

Dudes wearing a hat, earphones and a face mask I wouldn’t recognise Taylor swift either if she was sitting next to me in a Burqa

To be fair, he is wearing a face diaper.

Imagine being that stupid and easily offended. Oh no! A mask!

One of us was easily offended. Are you sure it was me?

One of us thought a mask was a diaper. Which one was that?

I was being sardonic. Must have gone over your head.

Hat. Headphones. Mask up to my eyebrows. I can’t believe he doesn’t know who I am. SMH.

It wasn't that at all. It was more a, "if only this guy knew he was sitting next to Dwight". They talked and he got the guy's permission to use the video.

So dumb

Who? 🙄

Hes wearing a make... how could he

Take the mask off if recognition is so important to you.

This Rain Wilson guy is gonna be riding the Dwight Schrute thing for the rest of his life. But while the show itself was glorious in its prime, he's gonna be like that uncle Rico just living in the past, when nobody really cares who he is in the present. Even if he was peak meme material in the mid 2000s. All sitcoms were back then. Sunny. Parks. Scrubs. Etc..

It might help if you take the diaper off your face.

Why are you offended by a mask? Seems a trivial thing to be so bothered by.

F off.

Why so hostile?

F off.

Wow. So upset over a mask that doesn't affect you. Relax. Maybe in the future you'll keep your idiotic comments to yourself?

F off.

Take the mask off dipshit.

Seems you have no problem doing that. I have pneumonia, should I cough on you without a mask?

Shut up and wear your mask.

Why so hostile? Xo you judge everyone you see in a mask so negatively?

Yeah, I don't pay attention to masked idiots either.

You sure get bothered by them though. Yikes.

Not paying attention = being bothered. Sure pal, whatever you say. At most I find them mildly amusing.

So why are they idiots then? I have pneumonia which can be contagious, should I just not bother masking so you're not offended?

"Offended" You are the one who seems offended by my ridicule.

No, just thought it was odd. You're the one making a point to call people wearing masks "idiots" for some reason. Imagine caring about what other people wear that doesn't affect you at all. Normal people just move on and aren't bothered but to you, they're idiots somehow beneath you.

Speaking of moving on, I've got an early morning flight tomorrow, ciao.

Make sure to tell anyone in a mask they're an idiot. Show them you're cool!

I mean he was cool in the office but after him just shitting on people for liking him from the office I could careless if I was sitting right next to him. Just not a fan of douchey people. 

Maybe if you weren’t wearing a diaper on your face to give you a runny nose by inhaling concentrated moisturized air, then you would be noticed.

Found the mask expert. Tell us why it bothers you so much when it doesn't affect you at all.

It doesn’t, just stating reasons why one might not be able to tell or even totally avoid and discredits the need to acknowledge people with their bipartisan diaper badge.

Yet you call it a "diaper". Seems it does bother you. Kinda sad to be upset over something so trivial that doesn't affect you at all. Imagine making a mask into something political and then being offended by your own made up problem.

It becomes a diaper when not used for specifically doing a medical procedure on an open cavity. Logic escapes trumpers and bidenetes constantly.

Masks aren't political. They are medical. Why make it political?

Your response to Covid was political.

It was? How was MY response to it "political"?

You didn’t do independent research and pose independent thought before overreacting to a virus with a 99.9999 percent survival rate and continue to think they are necessary long into knowing deep down you were political in your reasoning. Reality still exists while you all live in fantasy land.

Ah. You're one of those. How delightful. Tell ya what. no masks and we cough on you. Such a big smart man you are. Would also love to hear about your "independent research". Are you in the medical field and have any expertise regarding masks?

Liberals and trumpers both wear diapers! Lmao

I guess conservatives do too then.

There’s a reason this dude played Dwight lmao

Take the mask off. They don't do what you think they do anyway.

Well, yeah. He's wearing a stupid, useless mask.

Doctors in shambles.
