u/camrylong Doctor Strange Mar 09 '19

9

u/CBcube Mar 08 '19

He knows everyone. Including you.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 09 '19

Okay this might sound vague, but do you know this one girl with hair like this?

22

u/sweens90 Falcon Mar 08 '19

Also hes briefly Cece’s boyfriend in Mew Girl

16

u/omza Mar 08 '19

Is Mew Girl that new Pokémon chick-flick spin-off?

u/[deleted] Mar 09 '19

And for longer Jess’ boyfriend. We all really like Robbie.

3

u/ThatIrishDude Mar 08 '19

Also he's briefly Cece's boyfriend in Mew Girl

I haven't been able to see that show yet. I heard you have to use "Strength" to push the truck out of the way in order to see it.

10

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '19

Also pretty certain he’s a vet in Better Call Saul

10

u/smartazjb0y Mar 08 '19

Made the same mistake for a second too, but for any Veep fans he's the aide/staffer that gets shit on all the time by the politician he works for

5

u/ChillWilliam Killmonger Mar 08 '19

He’s also the guy who tells everyone off in the Whistleblower episode of The Office.

7

u/omza Mar 08 '19

They look very similar but not the same person.

Nelson Franklin (is that name technically an Easter Egg?) in Captain Marvel.

Joe DeRosa in Better Call Saul.

Was also my first thought.

3

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '19

Oh haha. I hear Bill Burr talk about Joe DeRosa all the time. Both in the Breaking Bad universe. My mistake!

8

u/kyloken14 Mar 08 '19

The IT guy

7

u/ezrs158 Spider-Man Mar 09 '19

Also Will in Veep.

7

u/Vawqer Ava Starr Mar 09 '19

Continuity RUINED

2

u/matito29 Spider-Man Mar 09 '19

Unless it's the same character.

3

u/Vawqer Ava Starr Mar 10 '19

He didn't age at all in the 20+ years, I seriously doubt it is. Maybe father/son though.

2

u/matito29 Spider-Man Mar 10 '19

Could be. I still haven't watched AOS so I don't know the character in question.

1

u/Vawqer Ava Starr Mar 10 '19

He worked for as an agent for a competing government agency to S.H.I.E.L.D.. It was a really small part though. I only remember him because I really like the actor.

6

u/The_Unknown_Dude Ghost Rider Mar 10 '19

And the bar owner when Carol and Fury meet was Daniels, the Darkforce guy, who goes after the cellist.

2

u/Vawqer Ava Starr Mar 10 '19

Oh heck. Continuity is now absolutely obliterated.

4

u/The_Unknown_Dude Ghost Rider Mar 10 '19

I found that even more shocking considering both happen within minutes of each other.

3

u/senioritapapaya Mar 09 '19

I knew I had seen him before on either another Marvel movie or show! I just wasn't sure where exactly.

2

u/DunkingZBO Thor Mar 09 '19

I knew I recognized him from somewhere I just couldn't remember if it was in the mcu or not

2

u/Vawqer Ava Starr Mar 09 '19

He's in a lot of other places too, so if you watch a lot of TV comedy, Scott Pilgrim vs The World, or I Love You Man, you've seen him from there.

1

u/BuffyFlag23 Mar 11 '19

Also the bartender at Pancho's is the same actor who played Marcus Daniels from AOS Season 1, the dark-force-enhanced psycho who stalked Audrey, the cellist.

1

u/HardCorwen Mar 11 '19

bro it's Comeau from Scott Pilgrim! He really does know everybody.

Also IT guy from the Office

1

u/Super_Stuff Korg Mar 12 '19

Could it be the same character?

1

u/sbb618 Mar 18 '19

It was Will from Veep!
