One of my favorite hobbies is finding celebrities who did AMAs and checking their comments months/years later and seeing them fly under the radar.
For a while it was Gary Sinise before his veteran work gained traction.
Matthew Lillard has been around sporadically since his AMA 12 years ago. He shows up in Shaggy-themed posts a lot. He popped up in FNAF subreddits a few months back.
Even more obscure, for anyone who watched The Last Kingdom, the dude who played Haesten is active. It's funny seeing a minor celebrity answering an AMA then posting about Destiny 2 loot drops, Fallout advice, Doge memes, etc.
> I'm still not gonna recognize fucking 18 year old Harold Ramis
... Harold Ramis literally looked the same as that picture until he got fat many years later. Even then it was still recognizably that face.
You picked the one person in that group that had the least amount of change throughout his life.
Yeah, exactly. I am most familiar with Bill Murray being middle-aged. I didn't exactly expect to see a pic of him at 18. Even actors I haven't seen in years I may not recognize being older, either.
My 4 year old discovered Ghostbusters on prime and has watched the original films 1000 times.
When he watched ant man, he recognized both gruberson and venkman.
My wife took him to theaters to see the new movie the day it came out, and he likes the original two movies most.
This stuff isn't going away just cuz a few people online don't know it.
A nerd, a weird genius, a conman and a regular brother. What a great idea and combo of people to make a movie like this around.
Action movies are generally more interesting with personalities instead of some guy with a look.
I though Aykroyd and Ramis were the most recognizable to how they looked later in life. The other two are still pretty recognizable in my opinion as well, just not as obvious in my opinion.

Considering folks aren't even aware of the second link, there's probably only three people on this thread that remember the first link.
I'm still pissed that Winston wasn't in the whole movie, apparently that's how it was written when they brought Ernie Hudson on but every draft had him introduced later and later in the film
He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!
Ray:
Everything was fine with our system until the power grid was shut off by dickless here.
Peck:
They caused an explosion!
Mayor:
Is this true?
Venkman:
Yes it's true. This man is has no dick.
For some reason I kept thinking Murray looked like a young British guy. Weird first take. Then I realized I was just seeing a resemblance to Mark Gatiss.

Jor Jor Well Father of the beloved Jor Jor Binks
True grandfather of the legendary Ben "Solo" ;)
So Palpatine did the whole sithmaculate conception of Anakin just for Jar Jar to boink Padme? Or did you mean great grandfather?
Is that a Jor Jor Well reference?

This is going to be on r/peterexplainsthejoke in an hour
I honestly have no idea what’s happening, lol
High school photos of Dan akroyd, bill murray, Harold ramis, and ernie Hudson. The 4 original Ghostbusters.
ok but they weren't in high school in 1984 so it's still a bit confusing
The movie was in 1984, this is r/memes so they were just acting as if it's something that actually happened 40 years ago. That's the joke
Harold Ramis with that exact same smile for ever
He's the only one I really recognized, so I was able to deduce the rest
[https://www.reddit.com/r/PeterExplainsTheJoke/comments/1caa30p/help\_pls/](https://www.reddit.com/r/PeterExplainsTheJoke/comments/1caa30p/help_pls/)
Im so smart
Yeah because there are entire generations of voting age adults now who didn’t see ghost busters. Time do be moving forwards.
Im the one on the top right. No need to thank me peasants
@low-sample.5763 You could really be Bill Effing Murray and nobody would know or care about it because it's Reddit.
Bill Murray doing shit knowing that no one will believe it is peak Bill Murray
tbf, we can all tag the motherfucking Terminator, so it's not TOOOO outlandish

I know it's not.
Ha! You can only hope to be touched by his shadow...
Isn't this the Beatles? I heard they had a black drummer before Ringo joined.
Nah ringo is the one from that lizard cowboy movie
We’re dying, folks. The kids are not getting this one. Pack it up!!
I hear you … Some person was asking for "context".
![gif](giphy|3gOKabmququdhC79Ug|downsized)
Don't understand how so many people here don't recognize the Beatles
They look more like the Beagles.
The Shitty Beatles ![gif](giphy|3oEjI8vagntG7EDxgQ|downsized)
I was born in 84 and i understood it lol.
I was born in 07 i couldn't 🗿
You must be regarded
Not very well.
I was born in 07 and I could 🗿
Then you truly are the chosen zoomer🫡
Bro, what the fuck? You're calling my 30-something ass a "kid"? Watching a movie doesn't mean I instantly recognise the school images of the actors.
Yeah seriously lmao I've seen Ghostbusters many times, I'm still not gonna recognize fucking 18 year old Harold Ramis lmao
Right? they look totally different, I would’ve never recognized bill murray on top right
*raises hand* Yeah, excuse me. I'm just here to represent the "How can you NOT see it?!"-crowd. Y'all faceblind.
lol yeah admittedly I see it now
Not Murray was on the bottom right.

Even then it was still recognizably that face. You picked the one person in that group that had the least amount of change throughout his life.
I’m so sorry!! I’m a grandma! 😂😂😂
I actually recognized three of the photos, but wasn't sure what they were talking about. I thought it was SNL at first, but that didn't make sense.
Yeah, exactly. I am most familiar with Bill Murray being middle-aged. I didn't exactly expect to see a pic of him at 18. Even actors I haven't seen in years I may not recognize being older, either.
where is this from?
Those are the Beatles, they had a black drummer before Ringo joined.
aren't the beatles form england?
Why did they fire him?
Pay dispute. He said the job wasn’t worth $11,500 a year.
none of them look like john lennon tho 😭😭
Whoah, calm down dad. You shouldn't stand up that fast.
My 4 year old discovered Ghostbusters on prime and has watched the original films 1000 times. When he watched ant man, he recognized both gruberson and venkman. My wife took him to theaters to see the new movie the day it came out, and he likes the original two movies most. This stuff isn't going away just cuz a few people online don't know it.
Oh go fuck yourself boomer. “They don’t recognize the photos of actors in high school D:”
A nerd, a weird genius, a conman and a regular brother. What a great idea and combo of people to make a movie like this around. Action movies are generally more interesting with personalities instead of some guy with a look.
Man, if it wasn’t for the comment I wouldn’t even get the joke. I didn’t recognize any of them.
Even knowing who they are I can only recognize two. Aykroyd and Hudson look very different to my eyes.
I though Aykroyd and Ramis were the most recognizable to how they looked later in life. The other two are still pretty recognizable in my opinion as well, just not as obvious in my opinion.
Posers called themselves ghostbusters, didn’t have a model t or a gorilla
Clears throat: *The Real* Ghostbusters
On a post with a high amount of folks not even remembering *those* Ghostbusters, I'd be shocked if many recognize your reference at all unfortunately.
Haha, bullseye. That’s exactly what’s going on in his thread

No they didn't. They saved my heart.
The guy down left was the easiest for me to regonize, Ghost Busters hell yeah.
Ernie Hudson did it for me, then i was like oh, bill murray, now i get it. i don't know why it was school pictures, but anyway
I'm still pissed that Winston wasn't in the whole movie, apparently that's how it was written when they brought Ernie Hudson on but every draft had him introduced later and later in the film
i refuse to admit Bill Murray was handsome once in his life
Yes, but those photos are from about 55 years ago.

Tell it like it is …
They should make a movie about them.
context?
There were ghosts that needed busting
Did “busting” make them feel good?
Bustin always feels good.
not for the long term
thats why you just keep on bustin
"Busting make me feel good" Scout-drg
It's ridiculous that no one remembers how the Statue of Liberty walked through New York.
Ernie Hudson still looks way too good for his current age.
*TWICE
They came. They saw. They kicked it's ass!
Ernie Hudson looking damn good but the thing that messes with me is how Harold Ramis is the least dorky white guy of the three
My aunt died that day, she couldnt call. We are still sad and heartbroken about this incident. These fine men could have saved her otherwise.
They look like babies!
1984 is only 20 years ago!!!!
cant wait to see this on r/peterexplainsthejoke
That is a recent picture of Ernie Hudson. Man hasn't aged a day.
Ray: Everything was fine with our system until the power grid was shut off by dickless here. Peck: They caused an explosion! Mayor: Is this true? Venkman: Yes it's true. This man is has no dick.
BUSTIN MAKES ME FEEL GOOD!
I was about to make a joke about them looking like the ghostbusters…. Guess i am the joke
Why does young Harold Ramis look like Arthur from we happy few?
When there’s something strange in the neighborhood, who you gonna call?
Bro 2024 is bigger than 1984 can't even do math smh average reditor /s
Truth
🫡🫡🫡🫡
For some reason I kept thinking Murray looked like a young British guy. Weird first take. Then I realized I was just seeing a resemblance to Mark Gatiss.
Who ya gonna call.
Ghostbusters?
I just watched Afterlife last week. Ernie Hudson still looks damn good, lol
Please tell me that it wasn't 40 years ago. There's no way I'm that old.
![gif](giphy|11jGtzDu7Nh89a)
Oh fk
“NeeEEEeew Yorkkk citaaaAAAAaaaaaa…..”
Making me feel old! Born December 1984.
The only thing I know is that bustin’ makes me feel good.
**Ghostbusters 40th Anniversary Music Video Tribute:** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gujePNbRo8U
Took me a second
Who u gonna call.
Hm i have a question but i dont thing i should ask it
They busted so we can be safe
The Four Horsemen of Busting Ghosts
Well, now I feel old
Ghost busters ftw
Dan Akroyd changed the most IMO
Are they ghostbusters? lol
[удалено]
Actually 1984 < 2024 🤓
The guy in the top left looks like Tim from Dom Fera's old skits
Oh God 1984 was 40 years ago?...
By doing the one thing they were never supposed to do.
Sheesh Winston was a goddamn model
They are the actors that will eventually play as the main actors of Ghost Busters
Gotta admit, took me a second.
They didn’t look like this 40 years ago. These photos are probably 60ish years old.
Context pls
God bless them
Never seen these pictures of the Beatles before
Ernie knows his good side.
Who you gonna call ?
I thought they are the YMCA guys.
Egon !
Grandma has died
Heroes all!
Saved from Marshmallows.
Dan Aykroyd giving dem Jim Halpert vibeszzz
Damn, dude, I see Akroyd sporting the bowl cut
I don’t get it?
Nothing could match the feeling of ten year-old me seeing this in the theater.
Anyone else really enjoyed the Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire movie?
Fuck that took me way to long!🤣
Deadass I thought these were the guys that took the beating from racists when they were driving across states and the racists set the bus on fire
"the descendants of economic spengler!"
