Whedonesque Mobile : Comments on 10270 : "And I dressed up as Joss Whedon".

May 05 2006

"And I dressed up as Joss Whedon". Is this the funniest thing you'll see today? Very likely.

And here's the YouTube link if you don't have Quicktime.

Sweet! That guy looked much thinner than Joss though. The Hollywood-paunch wasn't terribly evident, so he *couldn't* have been Joss.

Mort | May 05, 10:56 CET

That has "teehee" written all over it.

Scotto | May 05, 11:01 CET

That was great!

Did I invent that or did he refer to Sailor Moon??

Le Comit� | May 05, 11:01 CET

I enjoyed that.

I heard Joss lost some weight though, so I think this guy's costume may have been closer than he realized. Good job to everybody involved. (I have to go to sleep now. I wonder if I will still be smiling when I wake up 3 1/2 hours from now.)

newcj | May 05, 11:01 CET

I bet the real Joss actually can translate Etruscan. After all, "he's much smarter than any living human being".

jam2 | May 05, 11:03 CET

That was awesome! Hi-larious.

Le Comit�: He did say Sailor Moon...

Garim | May 05, 11:14 CET

Heh.

I wonder what Joss thinks about this?

NickSeng | May 05, 12:10 CET

I love it, that was great! I'd kill to see him as Sailor Moon.

buffy_kitten | May 05, 12:16 CET

Argh, I hurt from laughing. I had to watch it twice. That made my day. Rather, uh, night? ...Morning? I need to straighten my schedule...

vincent27 | May 05, 12:27 CET

Did anybody else have trouble playing this? It gets about 10 seconds into the piece and freezes for me. (I have the latest version of Quicktime installed, and it freezes in the same place whether I'm in Firefox or IE.)

palehorse try the YouTube link if you're having difficulties.

And in case anyone is wondering, this was filmed at Wizard World LA in March.

Simon | May 05, 12:54 CET

Especially loved the "itruskan" bit... "You are a huge nerd!" Funniii... That's the kind of question I'd like to ask Joss. I still have one in store that I some day like to ask him about, although not that in depth. It's even possible that he even has an answer for it.
But seriously, everything that was the funniest thing I've seen in atleast a month.

Djungelurban | May 05, 14:40 CET

"John Whedon"! Bwahahahaaa!

Love's Bitch | May 05, 15:49 CET

I needed that. Laughing out loud, annoying my work neighbours - if any of them were here at this hour.

redfern | May 05, 15:55 CET

I actually saw a Google advert here the other day for "Joss Wheldon". I've seen "Josh Wheldon", too.

gossi | May 05, 16:01 CET

Clever! Clever! See... nerds are funny! Sailor moon.. pasty.. John Whedon!

I'm more than a little in love with this guy!

XanFan32 | May 05, 16:21 CET

OMG, that's awesome. Just too funny.

Paul_Rocks | May 05, 17:05 CET

Thank you so much for that link, Simon. It worked perfectly. What a hysterical piece!

palehorse | May 05, 17:41 CET

The bit that keeps making me chuckle even though I last saw it around 7 hours ago now, is the muttered question to the interviewer, "...With an 'h'?" as he signs that autograph. Such a nice touch.

(chuckle)

newcj | May 05, 18:13 CET

Thank you thank you. This is the funniest thing I'll see this month, I expect. The two worked so well together.
And Joss! Way to go with the weight loss! Good job!

Lioness | May 05, 18:53 CET

Thanks for the link, Simon. What a great way to start my morning when I'm so tired. I think I'll be chuckling all day over that one, too, newcj.

samatwitch | May 05, 18:58 CET

Does anyone else think that is where the whole Sailor Moon rumor started? :)

Leave it to John to start a rumor about Joss. The dude was so good he even fooled former cast members of Angel.

RavenU | May 05, 19:02 CET

Haha, this is so cute.

And strangely enough, reminds me of when I attended Celebration II, and there was actually a FAN pretending to be George Lucas, and signing autographs.

numbereleven | May 05, 19:15 CET

Personally I think the costume did need more work: classical Joss would have an open cotton shirt over the t-shirt (more like the interviewer than the Joss impersonator's outfit), also Joss has traditionally carried a clear plastic backpack to conventions (the very one he had Dawn carry in 'Once More With Feeling') instead of an over-the-shoulder bag like this fake JW was carrying....(do you think I'M a hopeless geek?). I really wish I could have gotten John Wedon's autograph!

embers | May 05, 20:23 CET

(do you think I'M a hopeless geek?)

Yes, yes I do, and you're in good company.

GaveUp | May 05, 21:10 CET

I love a person who so willing to send himself up. It's very funny material. He really should get his own sitcom.

Simon | May 05, 21:21 CET

That made my day. Great link Simon, completely awesome.

Danica | May 05, 21:32 CET

Simon, I totally agree. This guy should be in television!

gianetta | May 05, 22:14 CET

That is utterly adorable. And the interviewer was clearly also being John Sweden...

Gill | May 05, 22:42 CET

I love that man! He is just too cute for words.

Dietcoke | May 05, 23:13 CET

Someone pitch that to the networks. "The John Swedon Improv Show"
It will be a hit, I just know it.
Or, how about "American Joss?" Where contestants imitate Joss and the winner at the end of the season gets a development deal with ABC. The loser gets one with Fox...

phred | May 06, 04:00 CET

Heh. I didn't have a costume for a sci-fi con costume ball, and it briefly occurred to me that with my webcomic t-shirt, a name tag I could write "Joss Whedon" on, and a willingness to roleplay a complete disregard for character life, I could totally go as Joss. That was too ambitious though, so I just wore a random silly hat instead. Just as well, my wit isn't nearly good enough to pull it off. :)

GreenArmadillo | May 06, 04:32 CET

Just when you think its going to be another boring day! Although I did meet a fellow Mr. Whedon fan in a coffeeshop today thanks to my "Joss Whedon is my master now" t-shirt. Coincidence???...I think not.

MrsSmith | May 06, 04:53 CET

Oops, laughing, waking people up. Heh, "Figurehead." I loved it.

Blacknblue2 | May 06, 07:00 CET

I was expecting that to be stupid but it was hillarious.
He sure has lost alot of weight. And finally right from his mouth,
so the wonder woman casting nonsense should stop (sure, right).

TaraLivesOn | May 06, 07:39 CET

I knew he created everything! And now I have proof.

Revello | May 06, 08:43 CET

Saw this this morning from someones Myspace, and laughed so hard :D

cicatrixtwigs | May 06, 15:24 CET

Joss is so sweet. I just love listening to him talk.
Met him a few years ago and he didn't need to lose weight. The camera adds pounds, he isn't even remotely over weight.
This was cool.

cheryl | May 06, 18:33 CET

So I'm getting confused, was that really Joss or was it a fake Joss? If it's a fake Joss he did a damn fine job.

cleartrampoline | May 06, 21:21 CET

I think it was really Glory. Or was it Ben? Wait, Joss is Glory?

Mort | May 06, 21:37 CET

So I'm getting confused, was that really Joss or was it a fake Joss?

It's Joss.

Simon | May 06, 22:52 CET

That was really funny.
