You know, the concept of a doppelgänger is straight-up creepy when you look at the mythology. But whether you think lookalikes are paranormal or just plain normal, it can be a pretty uncanny effect. Let’s jump in.
Hikergängers.
Imagine hiking along, a solitary pursuit if there ever was one, and you run into your exact double. I might be a little bit freaked out, but at least these guys are chill about it.
RELATED STORIES
Tay-tay, you okay?
If her album title is to be believed, Taylor Swift was born in 1989. But this obscure Russian record from the 1970s certainly seems to suggest otherwise.
He doesn’t really dress like that…
At least, I’m hoping he decided to ham it up to play up his resemblance to the guy in the picture. Otherwise, it’s just not a practical or stylish look.
He Hathaway of looking like Anne.
“Why does my brother look like Anne Hathaway?” asked the Redditor who posted this. I don’t think anyone really knows, but the resemblance to the Hollywood star is pretty uncanny.
Are they from the future?
They all look alike, and the only one who isn’t wearing a matching shirt is wearing something that says he likes bands that don’t even exist yet. I’m not saying it’s aliens, but I also don’t know how else to finish this sentence.
Finally.
Any moviegoer with working knowledge of current stars has probably noticed that Margot Robbie and Jaime Pressly look a lot alike. Their reaction to meeting each other for the first time is absolutely priceless.
Genetics, man.
Sure, it’s been posed a bit to play up the resemblence. Still, it’s downright eerie how similar the grandpa and uncle of one Redditor look (these pics were snapped 38 years apart).
There’s something over your shoulder…
When half of your face is covered with a beard, it doesn’t take much to look uncannily like someone else. If they’ve got roughly the same amount and color of hair, you’re practically twins.
A dentist you can trust.
Imagine going to a new dentist and feeling the standard anxiety. Then you see that they look exactly like you and you’re relieved — how could someone who looks like awesome ol’ you be a bad dentist?
They don’t even know.
Their physical appearance is basically the same, they’re both wearing the same wardrobe, and they’re both buried in their phones. The only one who seems to know they’re doppelgängers is the person who snapped this photo.
No way.
I though Alec Baldwin did a pretty decent impression of our commander-in-chief, but this random woman laboring on a random farm looks like she can’t have fallen far from the Trump family tree.
Hospital twins.
It isn’t every day that you meet a coworker who looks exactly like you. And if you work at a place where everyone dresses alike, the effect is even more pronounced.
When the resemblance is too much.
These two guys look so similar that a server working at the restaurant they were both at dropped everything he was doing just to point out the similarity.
Which one is the one who knocks?
The guy on the right looks kind of like an in-between version of Hal from Malcolm in the Middle and, of course, Walter White or Breaking Bad . Either way, the resemblance to Bryan Cranston is just freaky.
This is just too much.
A couple of guys with scruffy ginger beards and glasses who both play minor league baseball is already quite a coincidence, but when you factor in the fact that they’re both named Brady Feigl , well, it’s all a bit much.
One step ahead.
That’s a loud print for them both to be wearing, so this is double the coincidence.
Someone call a doctor?
This celebrity lookalike is so close there were people in the original comments who were initially confused as to which was which. When it has to come down to fine details to tell, you’ve got a real doppelganger on your hands.
A night out.
These two met randomly at a bar. Meeting your twin at any point in life must be weird and strange, but while drinking? I wouldn’t know how to act.
We’re the wet bandit!
With a lookalike like this, you have Halloween covered every year.
Go for the food, stay for the fun.
So you’re telling me that style of glasses is popular enough to be bought twice?
Down to the texture of the shirt.
Even the guy in the back is doing a double-take. He seems less impressed, though.
Found in a meme.
At least if you’re gonna be mistaken for someone, it’ll be positive.
They met on a random video chat website.
I can’t tell which odds are higher, meeting a twin in person or randomly online.
Serial lookalikes.
Upon this user posting these two, someone else immediately identified them and posted a different picture where they also looked the same. It seems they’re friends, and dress up the exact same to mess with people. Whatever keeps you having fun!
Okay, maybe not a real doppelganger.
But are you gonna tell me that it’s wrong? The resemblance is truly uncanny.
What’re the odds.
When you go out thinking your blue hair and cute yellow scarf is unique and…this happens.
Their coworkers told them how often they looked alike, so they decided to make the Christmas cards that year.
And that’s how you use this mystical discovery for good.
This user’s grandpa looks just like Jeff Goldblum.
Are they sure they grandad isn’t Jeff Goldblum, like, actually? It might be worth checking out.
breaking down barriers.
You don’t need to be able to speak when you share the universal language of twining.
Snape, what happened?
There’s nothing wrong with a good job at a major airline, but it seems like a bit of a step down for a guy who was once head of a whole witchcraft and wizardry school.
The girl in the yearbook photo.
Also not a traditional one, but in a way this is so much cooler. It’s one thing to look like some random person, but to look like a world-famous piece of art? That’s a high compliment!
Perfect timing.
The guy in the foreground knows what’s up, and is posing for the pic. His lookalike in the background has just figured out what’s going on, and his mind is suitably blown.
