Me too!!! They used to say it all the time when I was a little kid and it really really bothered me for some reason.  Looking back, it's kind of cool. (?)

[DoodleJump!]

I've never really been compared to anyone before...my best friend says I look like Jenna Elfman (whatever). I have, however, been told numerous times by numerous people that I look like a little elf. I just frown at them and then do a little jig.

not even to literary characters?   (get it, cuz you're a bookworm, bookworm.)

Kinda weird you say that- because at the time of reading this I am wearing my Belle and Sebastian "I'm a bookworm" t-shirt.

You know what Hugman, I'm an adult now, you're right. It is cool. Should I even try the "it could have been worse, they could have said I looked like..."? I think I'll take Eddie Munster. Plus he had the widow's peak, so I guess thats pretty cool.

I get Grandpa Munster Al Lewis. I'm 19.

My brother's old girlfriend used to say I looked like Joshua Jackson ("that Pacey guy" as she'd say), but with a "better nose," according to her.  I can live with that, I guess.

I've said it in the chat, but back when my life was coming off the rails, a college professor told me I look like a young Nick Nolte. That didn't help.

As a young kid I was always compared to Ricky Schroder a la Silver Spoons.  Later on it became Doogie Howser.  In high school/ university I had a mop of curly hair and was told by many a stranger that I looked like Paul Bernardo, which always made me feel great.

My dad has always called me Charlie Brown.

I would kill to be back in the realm of Doogie.

I got Herman...too much HGH I guess...

I've experienced repeat offenders of this crime, why does my roommate's mom think it's necessary for her to let me know how much I look like Ron Sexsmith every time I see her? I also get Michael Cera a lot, that's kind of at the other end of the spectrum. I don't really think I resemble either of those people.

i will defend people like hugman and co. about the glasses thing.  my pal kris gets this a lot (rivers cuomo, anyone?), although personally, i believe he looks like bob saget, season 1 full house.

similar to sarah, i get the, "you look..." and they pick from a plethora of random races: spanish, egyptian, jewish, lebanese, isreali, french, italian, greek, on and on.  ive never had the celebrity resemblance, but i have had the, "you act like..." before. 

another day, another thread.

I was just checking facebook and a friend posted that "top 5" application. And it was "top 5 people that you have been compared to" or whatever, which was funny because it's been a topic of discussion lately on the show and here. But, one of the people is andy milonakis that he listed. That's a terrible one, but what's worse is that this guy looks NOTHING like Andy Milonakis. So what I'm wondering is, is there anything worse than being compared to looking like Andy milonakis often when you actually don't look anything like him? What a burden that must be.

I was compared to "Stewart" from the MadTV once.  I don't think she was only talking about looks, either.

Not my finest moment.

When I was younger and had long hair and a goatee I got told more than a couple times that I looked like an "ugly" version of Johnny Depp.

[Steve of Bloomington]

When I had long hair and a goatee I got:

Jesus
General Custer
James Hetfield Of Metallica

...because those guys look so much alike...
