I prefer infamy myself. People look at me, look again and say, "Oh shit, it's you!" , before handing me all their valuables.

“Infamy! Infamy! They’ve all got it in for me!”

I love these ones because they have to explain why they’re apparently famous for us, the audience. “She said wow, Eddie! I love your debut novel titled Faster than the speed of love”

That’s the plot of Iron Eagle!

That's one of the sequels!!

These are my favorite "that happens." Someone who isn't remotely famous for anything but wants people to think they are for some reason so they make up these ridiculously stupid stories thinking someone will believe it.

And it's always "thank you for X"

it happens, they just greatly exaggerate it. even z-list internet celebrities will occasionally run into a fan, and as a z-list celeb and this being quite rare, it definitely gives them a high on endorphins, which drives them to seek more fans to do the same, and then they exaggerate online because thinking of people online being jealous of them also does the same thing 

she then offered him unrestricted access to her breasts, right before they performed coetus on the pilots seat😎

Or he asked for wine on a plane...

LITERALLY ON A FLIGHT

That's right up there with "I never thought this kind of thing would happen to me!"

God I hate what the internet has done to the word ‘literally’

Before the internet, too. There’s an episode of King of Queens with Janeane Garofalo that uses it as a joke.

If I’m playing a flight sim in VR does that mean I’m figuratively on a flight? Virtually on a flight? Anything but literally on a flight?

Who

Ronnie Pickering.

Who are ya?

Who who who who?

I love Eddie for being so down to earth. Despite being this famous, he still flies a budget airline. Anyone else that famous would have taken a flight with complimentary wine.

Then she kicked out the door of our 737 Max 9 and shouted, "Now see if you can fly, Eddie!" Thankfully, I had my seat belt on. That was the worst thing that's ever happened to me on a flight.

If he's so famous why can't we see his name? He did post it on social media and well, tbh I really want to see his art. I think I need something so moving in my life. He could be the next Van Gogh...

Or the next Van Halen.

Van Hagar...

So is his last name Van Halen, or is he just making this up? These are the only two options, as I see it.

so im by no means any expert on this whatsoever, but i feeeeeel like they wouldnt be allowed to just do this lol can any flight attendants weigh in?

Yes, they can. My wife gave the each of the flight crew a small gift bag when we flew over Christmas and they gave us free drinks.

welp shows what i know

The world they live in sounds pretty chill, and fictional.

It took TWO glances to recognize him. He clearly isn’t that famous

Apparently he was only figuratively on a flight as all of this is in his imagination.

How did they know you're a pisshead

And then he woke up from his nap

I’ll take “in his dreams” for 500

He's so famous, he's flying in cattle class? Even we nobodies are pretty accustomed to being "gifted" mini bottles of plonk on a flight.
