Head like a fucking orange.

If only psychic mediums were supposed to see the future, rather than speak with dead people.

It would be funny if he was a clairvoyant, but it clearly states he is a psychic and medium (completely different "skills"). Indeed this post has resulted in an act of meta-irony; OP has claimed something to be ironic incorrectly, thus making their own post the subject of the irony rather than the subject intended.

lost623 · 2012-09-28T19:28:05+00:00

Fake and not ironic.

CarlCarlson · 2012-09-28T17:31:09+00:00

Were these unforseen circumstances Derren Brown by any chance?

DigitalHustler · 2012-09-28T18:55:34+00:00

Joe power is such a cunt, that episode of derren brown with him in is so funny.

How long has Karl Pilkington been moonlighting under the stage name Joe Power as a TV medium?

Dustonthepaladin · 2012-09-28T17:48:33+00:00

I didn't know Clint Howard was a psychic

iambeard · 2012-09-28T18:25:11+00:00

Thanks 2011!

SamWise050 · 2012-09-28T18:44:58+00:00

I think this might just be a joke for people that do these shows for a living.

I think his bald head gives him better connection to the physic realm, but he probably has at&t.

NOT IRONIC.

Dominicmcb · 2012-09-28T19:55:41+00:00

Not irony...

cboogie · 2012-09-28T20:03:25+00:00

Everyday I walk past a psychic booth on my way to work. She always asks if I want a reading. At least once a week I ask her "shouldnt you know if I want one or not without having to ask?" She never remembers me.

So related story:

I deliver pizza and we used to have this "psychic" order pizza. Mind you he had two buildings with psychic on it, however we only knew of one because we didn't know he had two. Anyway he ordered enough to where we knew him on a regular basis.

So he orders one day, and I asked the address (i dont know him by voice) and he said "it's the psychic place, you know you come all the time". So I write down the relevant information, and when it's a regular we just put the street name and the identifier at the top (psychic in this case). So I deliver the pizza to his wife, who opened the door, and thought that was that.

I get a call from the pizza place and am told ot go back, pick up the pizza, and deliver it to the other psychic place. Which is noticeable but I had no idea it belonged to the same guy (it did). So I go and pick it up, and apologize to the wife. When I'm almost there I'm told to head back to the lady and refund her money.

Apparently the guy wanted everything for free (a 70 dollar order). My manager was going to just give some of it to them for free, but not all of it. He started cursing at her and kept saying "you better give me that shit for free, because you fucked up you stupid fuck". That made my owner/manager curse back (she owns the business). After that she said "well fuck you, we'll refund your money and take the food back, and you can order somewhere else". The guy is upset even more now, and he says "you can't do that you dumb bitch!". My manager says "what? you didn't see that coming?" and hung up on him.

tl;dr - Accidently went to the wrong address owned by the same psychic, he got mad, cursed out my boss, but didn't see any of this coming.

Prepare for gasp unforseen...circumstances..

tnb641 · 2012-09-28T16:28:07+00:00

Only funny as long as you don't pay attention.

Seeing the two pieces of tape on either end ruined it for me. Whether it was put up by the photographer or someone else, just not as funny as if it was real. :(

Karatebagels · 2012-09-28T18:02:40+00:00

Apparently Karl Pilkington's new psychic career was cut short.

came_for_comments · 2012-09-28T19:19:29+00:00

I could tell it was fake before viewing the comments -> you're going to have a bad time

Meloku171 · 2012-09-28T17:06:59+00:00

This ended in... UNFORESEEN CONSEQUENCES...

Vocis · 2012-09-28T17:32:55+00:00

Irony is when something occurs that is contrary to what you 'normally' would consider to happen.
I think we all saw this coming a mile away.

BurntTheToast · 2012-09-28T17:19:15+00:00

Totally real and not an old joke you heard on fallout 3.

tm16scud · 2012-09-28T17:40:30+00:00

There are three ways to do things: the right way, the wrong way, and the Joe Power way, which is like the wrong way only faster!
