Sending an Attractive Lookalike to My High School Reunion

Like many of us, Stephen didn’t have a good time at high school. He played saxophone in the band, got bullied and struggled a little. Having graduated ten years ago, he hasn’t seen any of his former classmates since. Now his high school reunion is coming up and he wants to settle some scores. So he enlisted the help of VICE's Oobah Butler via his app, Oobah.

In the wake of sending doubles of himself to collect awards and be interviewed by media outlets around the world, Oobah auditioned lookalikes and sent a hotter, more successful but fake version of Stephen to attend his high school reunion to reinvent his image in front of his old classmates.

But can he get away with it?

My God.. somebody hire the actor. That guy was the most committed to a role I've ever seen and he had like 2 days to prepare. Give this man a month and an Oscar is waiting.

[dr.assblaster]

I can’t believe they didn’t give the actor an earpiece to answer questions that people asked him

[Luke]

Hope this actor was paid well for this. I can't imagine how nervous he was walking into this situation. He was playing it off so well

[pondurosa]

Damn .. now they think he’s even more lame for hiring a whole stunt double because he couldn’t show up as himself. Brutal

[retrodux]

Plot twist: No one actually came to the reunion, they all sent their lookalikes to it

[silviaov]

It actually is really cute that the girl he had a crush on was the first one to realise it wasn't him.

Like dude, give yourself more credit.

[Tofflemire]

That bald spot 🤣 Didn't look natural at all.. It look like he had a breakdown😅😂

[prodvxmp]

Would’ve been funny if they sent a 6, 6 tall black man to say that he’s Stephen

[judesalam]

I love how he just casually dropped that he played in maroon 5 and no one even questioned it

[therachelngx]

The fact that his crush actually remembered him and knew it wasn’t him, that somehow gives me hope

[paulzaldivar]

I thought they were gonna hire a professional to transform the guy 😂. Then he starts shaving his own head.

[Fatfrogsrock]

Bit depressing how he gives so much value to their opinions

[ttbr]

Dude is literally a dentist, that's a pretty difficult profession to get into, he also seems really nice. He should give himself more credit.

[AliceHasenkohl]

the real steven is a dentist who has a passion and talent for music, a whacky sense of humor, a great relationship with his parents (!) and overall seems like a real genuine guy, I think he's doing well for himself! I wish him the best.

[MrRidleyDog]

Imagine caring about high school ten years after it's over...

[anthonyrivera]

19:36 I'm Stephen I'm Stephen I'm 29. That was gold

[ihavetopowerofgodandanimeo]

Dude imagine being so confident that you can just walk into a highschool reunion and pretend to be a completely different person that other people used to know

[daxoze]

Give that lookalike a medal... how nerve wracking it must have been to walk into that room, and then keep lying when people keep calling you out!

[turtlenecksoup]

20:39 nobodies gonna talk about whats happening back there???? 😂😂
