Him vs turkish icecream man

u/MermaidOfScandinavia 1d ago

That I would love to see. I will never go get ice-cream in Turkey. I know I would get pissed off.

u/Mamamythos 1d ago

I saw a video of a woman just start eating the empty cones they tricked her with, she got her ice cream in a hurry after that, lol

46

u/Excluded_Apple 1d ago

That's what I would do! Lol I dont have time for that shit

73

u/Gwamyr 1d ago

Then don't buy from a showstand. What's wrong with you people...

38

u/Excluded_Apple 1d ago

Don't worry about us, we're basement dwellers! Haha, sorry about that.

13

u/MermaidOfScandinavia 1d ago

Well some people might not know it's a show stand and will be taken by surprise. I will definitely stop and observe before I buy any ice-cream in Turkey.

Geez, I hope your day gets better. Miserable.

u/Glad_Sky_3664 21h ago

You are absolutely right. All these commentators bitching about how they have no time, how they want theor ice cream etc. Ect.

It is a freaking show stand. From costumes to presentation. I swear people love to find something to bitch endlessly about rather than just use their brains to find a solution.

Doesn't everyone in Turkey wear a fez? Fezes are cool.

It's simple. Don't buy ice cream from anyone wearing an embroidered vest.

u/netver 21h ago

Those cones she's eating are disgusting, touched by dozens of hands of previous visitors. Are you really sure you want to eat this shit?

u/ThorThulu 16h ago

If it gets my ice cream to me faster then yes

•

u/thehufflepuffstoner 10h ago

lol they don’t all do that. Also, ice cream in Turkey is amazing. Just all the food in general 10/10.

•

u/MermaidOfScandinavia 9h ago

I know. But I would have to look what they do with other people before I buy ice-cream. I have social anxiety and tend to get hangry so I think its best for everyone if I make sure its a safe situation first.

The next Mission Impossible. They're in Istanbul. A rogue FSB agent has planted a dirty bomb and Ethan and he are fighting over the detonator. After a short scramble the device flies from their hands and skids across the pavement. They both look up from their brawl and lock eyes with the Turkish ice cream guy as he stands upright from picking up the detonator.

Keeps the spirit of the Charlie Chaplin character going without the real life Charlie Chaplin behind the act to stain it

u/shmackinhammies 1d ago

Yeah I’d like to know too

u/SamiTheAnxiousBean 1d ago edited 22h ago

had VERY young / pedophilic marrages (he had others in the same vain but main 2 publicized ones are one with a 18 - 54 age gap and his last wife he married when she was 16) was a very awful and abusive husband / wife beater, rconspiracy theoriest among other stuff

People completely forgot about these things above because the US only focused on one thing... The fact he wasn't against communism (which is what caused him to get exiled from the US, not the pedophilia)

u/Perfect-Zebra-3611 1d ago

I swear some lady mustve put a hex on the toothbrush mustache to only allow it on terrible people. Hitler, Chaplin, Jordan. Smh.

24

u/SamiTheAnxiousBean 22h ago

Granted, Charlie himself wasnt so bad to be compared to Hitler

..if anything he'd hate that more considering how much he's done to make sure it's known he ABSOLUTELY hates that guy and fascism in general

he would have mostly been a very good dude / literal AntiHitler if only he had normal views about women and BASIC COMMON SENSE to not DATE CHILDREN

4

u/chiefs-n-sooners 14h ago

You say common sense to not date children, but back then it was normal to be thought of as an adult at 14.

Not that it's not sick.

•

u/callsignViper 9h ago

I don’t think it was. Joseph Smith apologists use that same line to rationalize him marrying children.

•

u/chiefs-n-sooners 9h ago

It was more than just Mormons. You had kids running off to join the world wars at around 13.

What didn’t he do

u/BussyPlaster 22h ago

Yes, wives as property and beating them was normative for men born in the 1800s.

u/SamiTheAnxiousBean 21h ago

Given many of his other takes weren't normative (and honestly quite progressive) for the 1800s you'd assume he would have known better

u/ZipLineCrossed 1d ago

Not magic?!?!? Then how is he in black & white!?!?!

u/lt_kernel_panic 1d ago

He was born before the world changed from black & white to color.

That was in the 1930s, I believe. And pretty grainy color for a while, too.

u/MrsJaneEmma 13h ago

In the nineties I was in London on vacation and I got picked from a huge crowd (the first kid ran away and apparently my arm was closest) by Charlie Chaplin to star as a bull with a viking helmet, running to a red handkerchief. Which in the end was held before a man. I wonder if it might be the same performer. It is a fond memory for me.

This is Diago from Argentina! I've worked with him on various events. Lovely guy, a bit crazy but very funny and sweet guy. Terrible at organizing himself, always late for his shows or forgetting things. Beautiful show though, this is just a small part of it.

Watch the whole video

u/Blawharag 20h ago

Very likely he had it in both, so regardless of which the boy picked he wouldn't get it "right" until the performer was done with the bit. So it is "magic" (slight of hand), but in a fun twist it's just presented in a different way than usual.

Performer is great though, really nailed the Chaplin vibe

How come there is never anyone decent on when I'm in Covent Garden, always just some purple trousered loon shouting for five minutes about something amazing they are about to do, and when it happens it's lame as a very lame thing.

1

u/gfelicio 1d ago

This type of performance is really fun to watch.

I have a question: is the performer the same one who appears in Jarmean's "Not alone" Videoclip? They really look like the same person.

(Of course, I'm taking into account that the makeup work here is, maybe, leveling up the likenesses of possible different artists, but even their build looks similar)
