    Hilarious! And fortunately nothing like this could ever happen in real life.

    I was hoping instead of “No One” He would have said “Han Solo” or something to bring the Star Wars reference full circle. If you’re gonna invoke Chewy and all…

      Ah yes… Chekhov’s Wookie.

        Wouldn’t it be Chekhov’s Bowcaster? In this case?

          Try to establish a “Chekhov’s Bowcaster” principle of playwriting and you’ll spend the rest of your life with people telling you it should be a phaser instead.

    Aw, poor Louis can’t catch a darn break!

    Man, this Te’o-ing craze is getting huge

    • SamSam

    I don’t get it…

      He was faking the messages so his friends would think he had a girlfriend (see how he’s tapping for *both* sides of the conversation).
      Fortunately, they found out how he did it before he made the claim, so he was saved.
      Narrow escape => funny.

    At first, I thought those “taps” were “faps.”
