[–]junkieradio 35 points36 points ago

Bears a striking resemblance to Cat From Red Dwarf.

[–]ImpossiblyFunky 8 points9 points ago

Duane Dibbley??

[–]y7vc 0 points1 point ago

Riviera Kid!

[–]moopie2 1 point2 points ago

Ditto. My first thought

[–]SirJiggart 2 points3 points ago

My thought exactly.

[–]agumonkey 0 points1 point ago

My brain snapped for a second, I never saw M.Freeman so young and couldn't shake this idea off my mind.

[–]DanWallace 1 point2 points ago

So they all look the same to you?

[–]junkieradio -1 points0 points ago

Of course, I notice a similarity between two black people it obviously means I think all black people look the same.

[–]DanWallace 0 points1 point ago

Look at the sense of humour on this guy.

[–]Colby347 7 points8 points ago

TIL Morgan Freeman is Wiz Khalifa.

[–]Jah-Man 0 points1 point ago

I actually see more of a resemblance with Kid Cudi than Wiz

[–]Colby347 -1 points0 points ago

I can see him, too.

[–]NeighborStrategy 55 points56 points ago

You mean 'Blackula'.

[–]Nukleon 26 points27 points ago

"Vincent the Vegetable Vampire", actually.

[–]exophrine 5 points6 points ago

Not to be confused with Blacula, aka The African Prince Mamuwalde

[–]BloodFeces 0 points1 point ago

Any relation to Scott Blacula?

[–]KoolAidPenguin 2 points3 points ago

Just because he's black and dressed up as Dracula doesn't mean he is blackula!

(treehouse of horror XVI for anyone who cares)

[–]farceur318 4 points5 points ago

Jefferson Twilight: Yes, I only hunt blaculas.

Guild Candidate: Oh, so you only hunt African-American vampires?

Jefferson Twilight: No, sometimes I hunt British vampires. They don't have "African Americans" in England!

Guild Candidate: Oh yeah, huh, good point.

Jefferson Twilight: So I hunt blaculas.

Guild Candidate: I was just trying to be...

Jefferson Twilight: Man, I specialize in hunting black vampires, I don't know what the P.C. name for that is!

[–]Circuitfire 0 points1 point ago

There needs to be a Triad movie soooo bad. With Robert Downey Jr as Jefferson Twilight of course.

[–]Paustinj 0 points1 point ago

Somebody give this guy a soapbox

[–]HarryLillis 0 points1 point ago

I mean, aren't vampires chiefly either British or German? I don't think I've even heard of an American vampire.

[–]farceur318 0 points1 point ago

You should read this series.

Skinner Sweet is supremely bad-ass.

[–]HarryLillis 0 points1 point ago

Wow, that looks awesome. Hopefully by the time they get a movie deal, I'll be at the point in my career where I can audition for it. Thanks, I'll definitely read that.

[–]farceur318 -1 points0 points ago

You won't regret it. Scott Snyder is a legend in the making.

[–]CatamenialPneumoThrx 2 points3 points ago

Count Chocula

[–]tamnoswal 4 points5 points ago

Bunnicula?

[–]BlanceBlackula 1 point2 points ago

Why didn't anyone ever ask him his first name?

[–]gornzilla 1 point2 points ago

I thought you meant Count Backula. Star of Quantum Leap and Star Trek: Enterprise.

[–]Calleball 1 point2 points ago

Cunnilingula?

[–]DildoChrist -3 points-2 points ago

Ctrl+F "Blacku- ah shit, never mind.

[–]DanWallace 1 point2 points ago

It's like the really obvious jokes are really obvious or something.

[–]mitkase 4 points5 points ago

Oh, the memories are flooding in....

HEY YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!

[–]ncm3t4l 1 point2 points ago

WE'RE GONNA TURN IT ON!

[–]TheAristrocrats 1 point2 points ago

WE'RE GOING TO BRING YOU THE POWER!

[–]derpplease 13 points14 points ago

He looks like kat from red drawf

[–]Dirge37 2 points3 points ago

I agree he reminds me a lot of Danny john jules too

[–]electrolemon 23 points24 points ago

This has nothing to do with movies.

[–]ieatbees 3 points4 points ago

Clearly you're not aware of the top casting choices for the new Blackula vs Blackenstein movie. My picks are Freeman as Blackula, Samuel L. Jackson as Blackenstein, and Denzel Washington as Blackenstein's Monster.

[–]Grimsrasatoas 8 points9 points ago

I've HAD it with these motherfucking peasants trying to kill my motherfucking monster!

cue gunfire

[–]d_spaceley1 4 points5 points ago

Does he look like a bitch ?

[–]liberterrorism 0 points1 point ago

Don't forget about the Blunch Black of Blotre Blame.

[–]girafa[M] -1 points0 points ago

Agreed. Removed.

[–]rindojustrindo 0 points1 point ago

The Spiderman of The Electric Company was the best Spiderman ever. That show was dope.

[–]oldcrank 1 point2 points ago

Spiderma-an.. uh!.. where are ya comin from... Nobody knows who you aaaaaare (rockin guitar riff)

[–]monkeyleavings 1 point2 points ago

Also played by Morgan Freeman. And, lest we forget, Easy Reader (that's my name, I say uh-uh-uh).

[–]civildefense 0 points1 point ago

Readin readin, that's my game. UH-Uh-UH

[–]rottenart 0 points1 point ago

Wikipedia says it was puppeteer Danny Seagren playing Spidey, not Morgan Freeman.

[–]monkeyleavings 1 point2 points ago

I'm sorry...I misspoke. I meant he was also on heroin.

[–]rottenart 0 points1 point ago

Obviously...

[–]forgetfuljones 0 points1 point ago

Easy Reader was his best role. He also did a delivery person quite often, which seemed jarring when he'd just walked off stage in a leather jacket & acting cool.

[–]psyder3k 1 point2 points ago

I'm Morgan Freeman and you are reading this in my voice.

[–]iamyourroommate 0 points1 point ago

blehhh!

[–]folderol 2 points3 points ago

'Sw'

'eet'

'Sweet'.

[–]iampope 1 point2 points ago

I love to take a bath in a Casket. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wp0-yDJAtWQ

[–]WOWNICEONE 1 point2 points ago

Scrape and Lick.

[–]nirakara 1 point2 points ago

This is by far my favorite Morgan Freeman / Electric Company appearance - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kuKcX8QrOM

[–]mgcornea 0 points1 point ago

Can't beat the big sneeze.

[–]Wulfenbach 0 points1 point ago

Morgan Freeman Voice: "When I was a young man, I fell into the wrong crowd. That crowd...was vampires." "My brother, Gordon, stayed in school and got a PhD in physics."

[–]VinDieselJetta 0 points1 point ago

Vampire? He doesn't even know what that word means. Oh he knows what you think it means. He knows what the dictionary definition of vampire is. So you go ahead and label him as a vampire and then maybe impale him with a stake...,because frankly sonny, he doesn't give a shit.

[–]kabanaga 0 points1 point ago

I keep imagining Morgan Freeman's narrator's voice:

Some will live...and some will die. One will. One penguin......ha.....ha.....ha.

[–]septimus03 0 points1 point ago

They tell me you're a vampire who can get things.

[–]kleanklay 0 points1 point ago

I thought this was a gif for a second, I swear I saw him moving. This either means he's an amazing vampire or my cold is making my brain function not.

[–]CountCrackula84 0 points1 point ago

I wish I could tell you that Jonathan Harker fought the good fight, and the Sisters let him be. I wish I could tell you that - but Transylvania is no fairy-tale world. He never said who did it, but we all knew. Things went on like that for awhile - undead life consists of routine, and then more routine. Every so often, Harker would show up with fresh bite marks. The Sisters kept at him - sometimes he was able to fight 'em off, sometimes not. And that's how it went for Harker - that was his routine. I do believe those first two years were the worst for him, and I also believe that if things had gone on that way, this castle would have got the best of him.

[–]neeonx 0 points1 point ago

Looks like Jimi.

[–]FletchDoesNotLive 1 point2 points ago

That show boasted such a great cast: Bill Cosby, Zero Mostel, Rita Moreno, Gene Wilder, an occasional segment with Mel Brooks, and Fritz the Cat's Skip Hinnant.

[–]kleinbl00 0 points1 point ago

Morgan Freeman has been cooler than you since long before you were born.

This song will be in your head for the rest of the day.

[–]seahawks 0 points1 point ago

Liam Neeson as Count Dracula...just watched this a few days ago. :D

[–]TheTrueHighlander 0 points1 point ago

I know this isn't racist, but it feels like it.

[–]Clearly_Im_lying 0 points1 point ago

Get busy dying, or get busy undying.

[–]juloxx 1 point2 points ago

Cant be Morgan Freeman. This implies Morgan Freeman was young at some point

[–]BoiseDog13 0 points1 point ago

love it! Now if only he would revisit the role!

[–]PatrickLeahy 0 points1 point ago

And here he is as Dracula taking a bath: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wp0-yDJAtWQ

[–]mercury14 0 points1 point ago

False, Morgan Freeman was born an old wise man.

[–]theHashmaster 0 points1 point ago

He lulls his victims into a false sense of security with his soothing voice.

[–]PlayrHatrXtrordinair -1 points0 points ago

"I vant to suck teh blood out of your dick."

[–]Shithead_Fuckington 0 points1 point ago

He was gay becuase he put the earing in his right ear when men are suposed to have in their left ear to show their straight so,

it dosen't matter but if people say that he is then maybe, still a good actor though. he wasn't dracula though that was someone else.

[–]InkStainLV 0 points1 point ago

Am I the only one that saw this and initially thought it was Dave Chapelle?

[–]JavaOrlando 1 point2 points ago

"that vampire is long gone and this old man is all that's left"

[–]SRowan 1 point2 points ago

How many Redditors remember The Electric Company? I'm old and only remember the reruns ('77-85').

[–]healeycoxmcmahon -1 points0 points ago

relevant

[–]dagorlad 0 points1 point ago

Looks like Count Rackula.

[–]Locjeb 0 points1 point ago

"I want to suck your blood"

...

that should alarm me but for some reason I'm very calm and relaxed.

[–]godlesspinko 0 points1 point ago

Finally, a reference to my childhood on reddit! Hooray!

[–]jadeycakes -1 points0 points ago

He should be the new Count on Sesame Street since Jerry Nelson recently passed away. I would listen to him count things all day.
