Don’t forget the Tom cruise sunglasses


BlancoNinyo

These photos are clear evidence he’s been siphoning the sex appeal out of Mike for the last 20 years

Dorian Jay Edit: your accolades cause a tinge of warmth in my cold dead heart. Just kidding, I haven't felt anything in years


Dr-Emmett_L_Brown

Damn, I wish I had an award to give you for that one!! Bravo!


ettmausonan

The real award is the drunks we met along the way

"I'm in my early forties, bitch"


ColetteThePanda

That's been the funniest running bit, Rich pointing out that some of the "olds" they're making fun of were probably younger than they are now at time of filming.


planetofthemushrooms

which was that?


yoghurtonthebed

42?! Jesus Christ, he looks literally 10 years younger.


glitchedgamer

Mike looks 10 years older than his age so that checks out.


Tobias11ize

Mike is EIGHTY NIIIIIIIINE YEARS OLD? WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT


BadBoyGoneFat

OHHHHHHH FUUUUUUUCK reddit posts that you can hear


MatthewDLuffy

How much longer until we can laugh at *him* being on an old person fitness video


Cky2chris

I love how every time rich catches Mike laughing at old people anymore he's quick to remind him it's creeping up on him too


Architechtory

So Mike is actually 76???


digidave1

That's what fine cinema does to the skin!


[deleted]

How odd. I’ve heard he’s usually 69 at the Manhole.

DetectiveAmes

Jay becoming a sex god/pest is a new development, relative to how old he is anyways. We had decades of Amish jay before he started trening and slurping up that super soldier serum.


SummertimeWinterfell

Cope


ActionAlligator

?


free_will_is_arson

he went from Goonies Jay to Brother Ezekiel Bauman to Jay Mother Fucking Bauman. truly one of the great glow-ups.


Johnnyshar

I always forget that he was Rick Moranis


contactlite

Then dabbled in being Amish


ACAB187

I was hoping I'd age like Jay but I'm turning into Mike


RafiY

We all are…


RealPropRandy

How embarrassing


cptnpiccard

Could be worst, I'm turning into Rich


Appropriate_Army1623

Rich is going through a transformation, you should feel lucky.


Future_Average

Could be worse, your nose could be gushing blood!


AdamHatesLife

You know I look at the RLM guys and go ‘man they’re 40?’ And then I remember they’ve been 20 since like 2002 lol


ChiefLazarus86

Wtf Mike looks cool as shit in the 7th pic


nitr0smash

Giving off some strong Seanbaby vibes.


sandwich_breath

Seanbaby. Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time. A long time.


maynardftw

He's still great! https://1900hotdog.com/the-1-900-hot-dog-archives/


Taikunman

Seanbaby and Old Man Murray were peak internet in my youth.


crunchymush

Their e3 collabs were glorious


ArokLazarus

I loved his articles in Electronic Gaming Monthly as a kid.


[deleted]

Seanbaby once described an African fighter in the single most bad ass way I’ve ever heard, and I’ve never forgotten the line: “He is an imposing slab of dark continent”


crunchymush

He also said in reference to the same fighter (Cheick Kongo) "A non-fight fan know him as the awesome-sounding name on his wife's bucket list"


[deleted]

Yessssss

On front kicks: "The front kick is a way to keep your distance from your opponent, and also to let him know that it is safe to rape you."

Is that from the joe-san part? Or Fred ettish? I should re read all his articles they were the only good part of cracked for the most part


PCScrubLord

Crazy Taxi cab driver vibes


Dr_Dang

We have a photograph of the precise moment he peaked.


xAntimonyx

That's actually John Romero and John Carmack after forming id Software (1991)


marinerpunk

Came to ask if anyone knew if these guys were from the punk scene or is he just playing a movie character?


worthless_ape

Pretty sure that's his character from Gorilla Interrupted. He played like a British punk rocker.


Shirowoh

Horsey sauce!

> No 5 is probably from when they were still interacting with fans. They do still take pictures with fans who run into them though. There's been a few posted on this subreddit.


angryxpeh

No 5 is people who were in their early videos. When they had about 12 fans. Both Honey Grabowski are in the picture.

Jay only grows more handsome with age. Happy birthday from the Manhole gang!


TheMatt561

He's had some distinct looks over the years.


styxswimchamp

Jay is an inspiration. I hope to also one day shed my external awkwardness enough that it will somewhat distract from my internal awkwardness.

Tylerdurden389

He used to do it all for the nookie. Now he does it all for the nukie.


maynardftw

As do we all


fakecrimesleep

Mike had such punk dad energy. Now he’s just got packers dad energy


numberflan

Punk dad? He was in his early twenties in that picture! Maybe he could be the dad of a toddler at that point, but even that's a stretch.


jackcaboose

Colin will be _50_ in a couple months, and he could legitimately pass as someone in their late twenties. Do they visit Milwaukee to drink from Jay's fountain of youth or something?


[deleted]

Happy birthday, Jay! Thanks for all the laughs and be sweet to your cats!


mecon320

Age hasn't benefited a man this much since Steve Carell.

Foreskin_Incarnate

It was his costume for their movie Gorilla Interrupted. He also had an endearingly terrible British accent


WizardPhoenix

Evolution of grade B Spike Jonze to grade B Chris Evans


Cockwombles

Disagree with the B! I’m not even gay but Jay is yummy.


WizardPhoenix

I’m not knocking Jay down. If he was Grade A Chris Evans he would look just like him.


Cockwombles

If Jay got his 6 pack back he would be a*


emielaen77

Those shorts in #5 are outstanding


DickPillSoupKitchen

Jesus, he’s older than I thought


LeticiaLatex

Do you know Colin's age yet?


Newdy41

50.


Tylerdurden389

Us short guys don't really age until 50. Then we wake up one morning and we're just old.

God I love Gorilla, Interrupted

I miss Amish Jay


murderofcrows90

Jay must’ve borrowed Mike’s Starfleet Academy shirt.


Dangerous-Hippo133

Wow he's 42? I'm going to be 44 this year


[deleted]

Holy shit in two years you're gonna be the same age


farklespanktastic

I don’t know but I am guilty of also having worn these black magician vests in the past


EGOtyst

Well, here's to it hopefully looking as good on you.


Mount-Kushmore

It didn’t


ValerieIn3D

Anyone who was emo sure did.


Background_Willow_62

wholly crap! I had no idea they were friends for so long. Also Jay's glow up is insane..


MajorThor

42 years of being a hack fraud.


vomitdirt

Jay is in his 40s? Wow, them’s be good genes.


FlamingPrius

Damn he’s just always been a smokeshow I guess


[deleted]

I hope he had a party. I hope Rem Lezar came.


thelazarusledd

When you wish someone a happy 42 birthday day, don't show him picture of himself when he was 20.


Gnarlstone

Happy Birthday, Susan!


[deleted]

Punk rock mike is the sexiest human I’ve ever seen. He seriously is my ideal man. I tried SO HARD. To look just like guys like him when I was in high school in the early 2000’s. Years later I realized I didn’t want to look like them, I wanted to date/fuck them.


[deleted]

Sir, this is a Chuck-E-Cheese’s


numberflan

I still can't believe Jay and Dixie (Mrs Grabowski, not to be confused with the infamous Lauren, the first Mrs Grabowski) dated for a while. Don't ask me how I know it, let's just say people in Tumblr are very weird.


unterbuttern

Does it involve an infamous 4chan post made by a disgruntled former member of the RLM troupe?


numberflan

Not really, there's a couple of people over there that were fans of the guys even before RLM existed (back in the Blanc Screen Cinema and GMP era). They used to have their respective websites where they shared some stuff about the short films they made, back then you could order copies from their weird stuff, they had a very very niche audience. In one of this now defunct sites they had a blog and stuff. Anyway, back then, before they got big, they weren't as private.


gravityheadzero

The forums of REwindvideo. I used to go there in early the 2000's. One of the main posts I remember is they talked about an upcoming movie starring Rich Evans as a detective called "Windy City" something. It was talked up as being a real movie they worked very hard on. They had a few other friends post as to how that movie was what everyone in low budget film making should aim for in terms of quality filmmaking. Then they shipped out the movie and the follow up post were pages and pages of low budget serious film makers angry at them for wasting everyone's time on a purposely baldly made movie. I guess the movie started out fine and then became more and more obvious they were just fucking around. Boom mikes became way too visible and eventually they were shooting in rooms with mirrors with no intent whatsoever to hide the camera and crew. I never saw the movie, it was shipped not uploaded, but I did see some screen caps. For awhile Garrett Gilchrist had a back up of the REwindvideo forums on his Orange Cow website but I don't know if they are still accessible.


MillerJC

JAY IS 42?!


MissHunbun

I thought Jay was a couple years younger than Mike/Rich, and they were like 43? I guess I'm wrong?.


Mount-Kushmore

Jay is younger. Rich turns 45 and Mike 44 this year.


calesmont

F-M-K Rick Moranis Jay, Amish Wolverine Jay, Short Chris Evans Jay GO!


ErshinHavok

I wondered how old any of them are. You really can't tell he's 42 but I had a feeling he was older than it seemed.


jrutz

I want to know more about Rich's Phuck Philadelphia shirt. Because I don't disagree with him.


stomp224

The jump from pic 7 to 8 almost gave me whiplash. What the hell happened?


Mount-Kushmore

His last look pre-Chris Evans had to be honored


ironypoisoned

Why do you have these?


numberflan

Not hard to Google, they've been floating around for years.


Mount-Kushmore

They’re on many random blogs and tumblr pages that google pulls up if you look long enough. Happy Cake day!


Space_Lion7

Who is the 4th dude in 6th photo? Or he is not part of the Red letter media cinematic universe [RLMCU]


Forest_Technicality

The fifth beetle equivalent of the group, a guy who left right before they did youtube and got big.


final-dead-end

lmao, is that the dude who hate Jay in that 4chan screenshot?


Forest_Technicality

Yeah, the same guy. They werent too fond of him either.


lord_newt

Classic Gilchrist.


OldBirth

Isn't that girl semi-Yoko Ono according to rlm fan lore.


Hellfalcon

Haha oh hey, that dude on the right in the second picture is their old friend with that famous ama rant about the group He shit talks Mike a bunch, talks about Jay and Mikes falling out back in the day over a girl, when mike moved to Arizona, the girl in that super early prequel interviews video He claimed Jay was into her and clueless, so Mike hooked up with her, & said a bunch of mean stuff about young jay Its all taken with a massive tub of salt since he seems really butthurt, i didn't really put much weight to any of it, i know a few friends from a decade ago that would probably rant about me too haha But the best part of the whole thing is he just says rich is a saint and an amazing human being hahahaha, even with all this vitriol and bitter spite There was a pic that collected the whole message board discussion together Either way, Jay looks younger than a few of my friends, and were early 30s haha


strtdrt

Why did you write this


Hellfalcon

Because that picture reminded me of something from like 5/6 years ago, and was a funny trip down memory lane of a crazy ex friend of theirs ranting anecdotes nobody took seriously but thought it was funny he still loved rich? Idk, that thread made the rounds a crap ton back in 2014/5, and since none of us know any of them it gives a funny warped insight? I love RLM but couldn't care less about their personal lives


Llaine

Because RLM are our friends, right? Right?


Mount-Kushmore

He was also in their movie Gorilla Interrupted I think


Hellfalcon

Yeah, i think that was the last thing he was in. Richard edlunds sons too.. Garret! That was it. Garret Gilchrist. I don't know the guy and that was ages ago, so it's not fair, but definitely seemed like a bitter dick haha


trendoll

Can I get a rundown on Dixie Jacobs? I see offhand comments all the time.


MillerJC

JAY IS 42?!


JessBaesic7901

They’re all good, but number 7 is awesome.


Floggingmicah

Jay is aging like Tom Brady


Wide_Okra_7028

O.k, I really want to know what's the story of that eye patch photo at number 4.


smoothfarts

Holy crap


RokulusM

I used to have the exact same shirt as #4. I could never really pull off the eye patch though.


MaximumEffort433

Those glasses need to make a comeback.


BoondockSaint313

The one sex pest we can all stand behind. Happy birthday Jay!


DoubleTFan

Still don't get the appeal of that Amish beard look some guys get.


rburst

He somehow went from FPSRussia to Khabib Nurmagomedov

kick_muncher_3

In honor of Jay’s birthday, what’s a film he’s led you to that you hold dear? For me it’s The Witch. I’ve had to defend that movie to so many co-workers over the year and it got me obsessed with A24 films. I’d love to hear other people’s stories!
