As the kids would say, "I LOL'd." For whatever reason this one just cracked me up.

Comedy Reflux

Reading the first panel, I thought we were finally going to see "top ten tasers, number five will shock you".

You missed your chance Jerry, you done fucked up!

"My Shepard has bird parts."
"WHAT CHOICES ARE YOU MAKING!?"

Not going to lie, I googled to see if this was a real movie.

That isn't even his final form

I won't believe it.
I don't care. At all.
But sure, I won't believe it, either.

I would watch a movie with crocodile Brendan Fraser in it.

PeriSoft

I won't wear anything but Guittiari.

Kagera

The internet really wants Brendan Fraser back again.

Any way to get the Acq Inc stuff without having to go through Amazon? Can I just paypal PA the money and they send me a torrent?

Holy crap, I just googled his latest image. Dude looks like he could be cast for Emperor Palpitine. I thought he had just gotten a bit hefty, but he looks like he may have been taking de drugs or has some kind of disease. I wish the guy the best, hopefully he is just someone that aged badly.

WordLust

Brendan Fraser's career peaked at Encino Man.

Or possibly Encino Man 2, which some would call George of the Jungle.

*edit*

No wait! Airheads was awesome, but I always forget that Brendan Fraser was the third guy. All I see is Steve Buscemi.

Lucascraft

Brendan Fraser's best work was his reoccurring character, Ben Sullivan, on Scrubs.

Also, one of the saddest television episodes I've ever seen. All the feels.

That 2016 copyright, time to update.

This is one of the few PA's that's confused me. He looks pretty good at least from this pic taken last year. http://www3.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Brendan+Fraser+Tuesday+Children+Roots+Resilience+24YOKim6ZJ8l.jpg
That said if this means he's making a cameo in the new Mummy movie where he plays a crocodile that devours Tom Cruise I'll be the first in line at the ticket counter.

I think the comic is just poking fun at the various kinds of clickbait you see all over the internet with titles like, "You won't believe what so-and-so looks like now," or "Here's a list of something. #3 will blow your mind," or "The crowd was cheering but he/she didn't know why..."

And on top of that, I'm pretty sure I scrolled past a "You won't BELIEVE what Brendan Fraser looks like NOW!" link within the last couple of weeks.

Ripped from the headlines.

Just checked my 'region appropriate' link for the holiday special... and it's complete bs. 5 dollars should equal about 4~ euro's. And instead, the EU price is 10 euro's. More then double of what Americans pay. Sorry guys, but this is just ridiculous. I've been a PA fan for a long time, and have been a part of Club PA since it's started, but I can't endorse regional pricing differences. Please, consider a different distribution method for this with fair pricing.

...and I scrolled right past a bunch of those images while looking for that one, got the joke and then proceeded to think. "Nah...that's not it." I'm really dense sometimes lol.

I have no knowledge into the inner workings of international pricing, but I'm guessing that if PA priced it at 10€, it's because they had to for some reason. Tycho said he chose to price it at $5 because of Louis C.K. So I bet 10€ is either a mistake or the result of some unavoidable taxes/fees. I would recommend asking PA directly.

I think the price disparity on the AI holiday special is primarily Amazon-driven. The Vimeo link is better value, I've just bought via Vimeo in the UK and it's just over £4.

dennis

It's as if he's subject to the same passage of time as everyone else. Also, he has three kids, which is a 2x-3x multiplier.

I don't look at fantastic as I did ten years ago, either. And I never looked very fantastic to begin with...

Was thinking of rewatching Bedazzled which reminded me of this comic. Now I’m cackling on the train
