Julian Assange vs. Mr. Humphries ("Are You Being Served")

(Via Reddit, via Dean Putney, but seriously, Rob and I stumbled upon this realization weeks ago)

• [Anonymous]

  I knew he looked like someone, and it’s been killing me! Thank you for this

• [Anonymous]

  Mr. Humphries has more style than Mr. Ass___e!

• [bwcbwc]

  NOW I know why JA looks so familiar yet so creepy. I just couldn’t make the mental link.

  Classic.

• [Anonymous]

  Are you being served…your papers?

• [Anonymous]

  “Captain Peacock, are you free? “. If someone can find a look alike to Mrs. Slocombe, they’d be my hero.

• [Anonymous]

  Now i wonder about the (excellent) actor’s true sexual preferences

  “I’m dead.”

• [Azu]

  Hmm.

  …anyone else seeing Neil Patrick Harris in the top one?

• [querent]

  Looks like extradition to Sweden was just approved. Appeal forthcoming.

  I just laughed so hard I peed myself.

  Is Mrs. Slocombe’s pussy a LOLCat?

• [dculberson]

  Mr. Humphries is cuter!

• [Anonymous]

  No one’s made a Mrs Slocombe’s pussy joke then?

• [MooseDesign]

  Chuckle… oh, this is great! I haven’t thought about that show in ages. Do we know where Assange has been getting his ties and suits? Now if Julian had just left his Captain Peacock in his pants perhaps he would indeed be free…

• [wingedearth]

  Assange: I’m not too worried about the fit of my prison fatigues. They’ll ride up with wear.

• [Anonymous]

  THAT’s who he reminded me of. It seems so obvious now :-)

• [phlavor]

  THANK YOU!

  It’s been bugging me for months as to who he looked like.

• [BrokePimpStyles]

  I was trying to figure out why Julian looked so familiar

• [Antinous / Moderator]

  Is this his defense team’s strategy?

• [chawke]

  Like what others in this thread have said – now I know why he looks familiar. I’m usually so good at these things. I think the reason we didn’t see this sooner is that Mr. Humphries is eccentric and JA seems to be more of something Humphries is not. The superficial similarity is striking though.

• [Anonymous]

  This should be titled ‘Wikilols’ :)

• [frankieboy]

  That explains the phone at Wikileaks being answered with a deep voice saying “menswear”.

• [hellsbellsmisa]

  YES! Spot on.

• [g0d5m15t4k3]

  Ack! The similarity is disturbing!

• [Anonymous]

  Glass of water for Mr. Assange!

• [wingedearth]

  Another guy who looks a bit like Mr. Humphries is Anderson Cooper.

• [Jason Erik Lundberg]

  LOL! Wow, it’s kind of astonishing how similar they look.

• [franko]

  BRILLIANT. ok, so now we need the rest of the cast, and we have a new back-up job for mr. assange in the bag.

• [Anonymous]

  Somehow I doubt Mr. Assange was boinking Mrs. Slocombe

• [Anonymous]

  I always get his pics confused in the UK press with Michael Gove, the education secretary..

• [daen]

  Are you being served (with an extradition warrant)?
