Basic Instructions is a twice weekly updating web comic that offers absurd advice on how to live your life. Some of those updates will be happening here on Cracked.
Previously Scott has taught us How to Be a Good Husband During 'Lady Times' and what happens When HD TVs Are Too HD.
"Well why not? You are in every measurable way" was gold. More people would be saying that if they weren't caught up in their "I ONCE MET" stories.
ReplyGot to meet David Duchovny. Found him to be very down-to-earth. He was very pleasant to talk to and polite.
ReplyMy dad met Paul McCartney, Madonna, Natalie Portman, Shakira, Snookie (neither of us are proud of that), and Micheal Jackson. My cousin played as a drummer for Guns N' Roses once. I got to play soccer with my teammates and a player from Red Bull.
ReplyI met Iron Mike Keenan in a bar in Toronto.. He was drinking at the bar with some lady.. I said "You know.. you look a lot like Mike Keenan" and he said "That's because I am Mike Keenan" That was pretty much the whole conversation.. he shook my hand though.
ReplyMe and my dad met Jermaine Jackson leaving a restaurant with Halima Rashid a while ago. He blocked two parking spots and that pissed my dad off to no end, but right before he yelled at him, he said in the most positive voice I have ever heard, "Hi, I'm Jermaine Jackson, from the Jackson Five." It was like he was a robot programmed to say it and my dad was to shocked to yell.
ReplyI once watched a film with the crown prince of Norway. Another time I realized after getting back into the car (we were on a ferry) that the guy I swore I could recall from somewhere, possibly a distant relative or acquaintance, was in fact a famous TV-host.
ReplyThat's about it though.
The closest I've come to this was meeting a pair of well-known Phoenix radio hosts. The convo was three lines long and awkward as all hell.
Replyi've met a bunch: adam sandler, george from seinfeld, the spikey head dude from hellraiser, james (spike) and juliet (drusilla) from buffy the vampire slayer, sean astin, john noble, billy boyd- who gave me his personal leather armband, one of the ghostbusters, jeff hardy (wrestler), i think there's more but i cant remember now. but they were all amazing, i never had a bad or awkward experience with a celebrity.
ReplyOh man, I 'met' Mick Jagger a couple of years back in Twickenham when he visited my uni. Being the drunken mess that I was I thought it was a good idea to jump the barriers between the crowd and him and ran to talk to the legend. Got tackled two feet away from him by a couple of security guards and almost got kicked out of Uni. I still count it as meeting a celeb, despite him thinking I was a crazy person. Was THAT close!
Replya few years ago my mom saw rosario dawson when she we were at universal studios she decided to keep it to herself and not tell me and the friend i was with until that night i will forever hate her for that.
ReplyWhat I do is put more regular people on the pedestal. i lost my s**t when I met Warren Oakes or when I found out I would be volunteering with Chris Clavin. No one knows who the hell those people are but Im gonna remember that s**t forever
Replyjust met Common last week and I felt like an idiot
ReplyI have met Jimi Hendrix' adopted sister Janie and his dad, Al, before he passed away. My "aunt" who isn't technically my aunt is related. I worked for her for awhile for the catalog.
ReplyMy friends saw Mathew Perry in a Burger Place like two days ago. That's probably the closest I'll ever get to meeting a celeb, but that's okay, because I think I get a little star-struck just knowing that they in my vicinity.
Replyi look up to people that pretend to be other people
Replybeing complimentary is hard when the celebrity you meet is a total dick.
ReplyWhy do sheeple even need celebrities? As the Woodland Christmas Critters bear on South Park would probably say, "Well, someone's got to be on the pedestal. We can't NOT have somebody on the pedestal."

ReplyI am Magic Johnson.
ReplyGlad to meet you all
I sold popcorn to Shaq when I worked at Paramount movie theater in Toronto during Carabana about 10 years ago. And some candies to his friends, who started whipping them at each other as a crowd of people circled around about 30 yards out. It was awry. He like totally picked me out too, out of all the little popcorn people he could have walked up to. I have to admit I was nervous because I was put on the spot. Wow, I just realized that was over 10 years ago. Year 2000, what happened?
