I was watching an episode of "Friends" a couple of nights ago and I realized that I compare Marty to Paul Rudd in my mind. Isn't that weird? I think they look similar and have similar facial expressions and when I think of what Marty's personality might be like, I figure it's something like Paul Rudd's character's was (Mike Hannigan) on Friends. I always found Mike to be a pleasant character and thus believe this may have something to do with why I favor Marty (other than the "D Is For Drums" video). I honestly just realized this the other day. I had never thought about it before. Am I insane? Does anyone else see anything there that makes the connection plausible?

I just reread that and realized that this:
"I always found Mike to be a pleasant character and thus believe this may have something to do with why I favor Marty (other than the "D Is For Drums" video)."
kind of makes it sound like I don't like the "D Is For Drums" video. I DO! That video is the main reason I favor Marty as far as the backing band goes. Just thought I should clarify.

I don't really watch Friends avidly, but I do agree that they look a lot alike, I think you have a point there.

They do look a lot alike, you're right.
I don't think you're insane. Flans looks a lot like somebody I have a really positive association with, and sometimes I wonder if that's why Flans is my favorite. (And other times I wonder if it's why I like the other person, too.)

Actually, after someone on the wiki pointed this out, I think Marty looks an awful lot like the guy who plays the dad on Modern Family. In fact, now I can't look at that actor without thinking of Marty.
I can see a bit of resemblance with Paul Rudd but I don't think I would have noticed if I wasn't really looking for it. It's more evident in some pictures of him than others that I looked at (very much depending on hair style and not at all when he is in profile).
Seeing the resemblance and comparing them is definitely not insane though. I think we are more predisposed to see the band's features in other people because we spend so much time looking at them.

Kelly, it's very possible you're right. I do that with a lot of people, though, come to think of it. I'm always finding little similarities in people that strongly influence the way I think of them from then on. Which is one of the reasons (as well as the incredibly lovely melody, among other things) I really like the song "Certain People I Could Name". I'm just glad you all can see it somewhat too and, more importantly, didn't make me feel stupid for sharing my observation. Thank you. And Megan, Flans looks a lot like somebody I have a really positive association with, and sometimes I wonder if that's why Flans is my favorite. (And other times I wonder if it's why I like the other person, too.) If this forum had a "like" button, I would've most definitely clicked it for that.

And I haven't seen "Modern Family", but I'm going to have to look up that actor now.
