I love these videos. It was great when Mark did a similar video. I want to see more actors sneaking up on people. The best reveal was finding him in the photo before realizing he was there, but the spin scare was great too. I remember Chris Evans and Chris Pratt doing a ridiculous one as well. It'd be great if Adam Driver got a little creepy on people in the mask before revealing himself.

Also, what in the fuck are you guys doing? For the love of god this is 4chan level. I'm a fan of RLM but if this is what happens when they post videos then Mike Stoklasa was a mistake.

if it is I'll remove it from my post.

Very cruel
Very cruel

The "very cool" meme doesn't fit here as there is nothing cynical about this.

This was just a genuinely cool thing the actor did with his fine accent that makes me question things.

It had to do with star wars and nerd culture. And I genuinely thought it was very cool of him. He's a great guy. It was a win win for me.

 

[Great Poster]

Thank mr. skeltal!

 

[Stinkles]

If it's real, then it's cool, but it did feel oddly staged to me (before reading a single word of this thread) and I genuinely hope those were real folks, but the increasing "let's have actors pretend to be real people" thing that Hollywood literally can't help doing, makes me super cynical.

There was something a bit too polished about those three folks.

But again, glad to be wrong, because it was a cool thing to do for fans.

 

[iPaul93]

VERY COOL.

Spoiler

John seems like a really nice guy.

 

[Ultryx]

Very cool.

John seems to be so genuinely thankful for the role he's landed and these fans are so happy to meet someone like him. I love these surprise videos!

 

[Maximilian E.]

I agree with basically everyone here.. Very cool and Boyega seems to be a genuinely nice guy. He deserves this success!

 

[JJH]

I knew he was British, but damn I didn't realize how posh he is. Very cool video though.

 

[jett]

John Boyega was the best part of TFA, he is indeed a cool dude.

A very cool dude, even.

 

[Auctopus]

The 'Red Carpet Spin' moment is excellent. His dab photo probably came out great too.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

That's not posh, he's got a regular south London accent. Posh is someone like... Benedict Cumberbatch.

You can hear his accent come out in TFA when he says "I'd appreciate it if you'd stop accusing me!" after Rey jacks him with her stick.

Kinda bugs me honestly. His American accent was on point just about everywhere else.

Why the hell did they make him use an American accent anyway?

 

[Platy]

So the WHITE BOY is the only one who jump scares ?

yeah right

Very Cool

They tried the British accent but he and JJ agreed it didn't work. Stormtroopers usually sound American anyway.

Because Rey and Finn being both brits would just be too british.

Imperial leadership usually rock the space British though. And they let Captain Phasma keep her's too!

Shame.

 

[cLOUDo]

"Typical TRAITOR behavior!"
LOL

 

[adamsappel]

Why do they have two guys in Stormtrooper suits behind them? They aren't posing, they could just be mannequins. That job has to suck.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Does he charge for autographs tho

 

[FlashbladeGAF]

"Typical TRAITOR behavior!"
LOL

I laughed at that too

 

[sphagnum]

Should have had him in Stormtrooper disguise.

 

[daviyoung]

Very cringe, I mean cool. I mean he seems like a very nice guy and I look forward to seeing him in many high budget blockbusters.

 

[howdyjacker]

Very cool.


Huehuehue





But seriously, I love and enjoy seeing him making the most of a wonderful opportunity that he's been given

I just listened to that 3 times and I don't really hear it.

Then again, I'm bad with accents, so what the fuck do I know.

 

[Shy]

John is da best.

 

[lastplayed]

Very cool.

 

[Sephzilla]

Very














Cool

 

[Timedog]

I think that's supposed to read 1997 and have a fake copyright symbol and mention the Star Wars fan ring.

 

[itwasTuesday]

Yall tricked me into thinking a random rich evans would appear for a picture or something

Yeah I'm not sure why this very cool shit started.

 

[Surfinn]

Yeah I'm not sure why this very cool shit started.

Because whatever RLM says is hilarious, obviously

 

[.JayZii]

Yeah I'm not sure why this very cool shit started.

Lots or RLM fans really like to push memes past the breaking point.

I hope it's real and they just tape like a dozen and pick the best ones.

 

[trixx]

That Rey cosplayer reaction was perfect

 

[Sub_Level]

Thank mr. skeltal!

Thank mr. skeltal!

 

[Kilvin]

Tre Cool

 

[Dreams-Visions]

John is the best Ambassador they've ever had for this franchise.

Fact.

 

[.JayZii]

It's heartening to know that John Boyega photo bombs star wars nerds just like the rest of us. Very relatable.

 

[Green Ninja]

thank mr skeltal

 

[Green Ninja]

Very Cool

 

[MWS Natural]

That was cool, dude seems like a really nice guy.

 

[Chase Lebowski]

Very cool.

 

[M0nochromatic]

Personally, in my opinion, very cool.

 

[SiegfriedFM]

One of the reasons why TFA is just so damn likable.

And I doubt that this is staged, but they probably picked the best three out of a bunch.

 

[gutter_trash]

yup, Trooper chatter works best with an American accent

 

[Plywood]

Very Cool

 

[Gordon Shumway]

The forced is with us..always. Thanks, AssholeGAF!!!

 

[Josh5890]

He surprised a few theaters on opening night for the Fore Awakens. He loves the fans. There is no doubt about that.

 

[Hot Coldman]

this is cute

 

[DrSlek]

Very cool. Personally, I love John Boyega.

I didn't used to until it became commercially viable; and now, me personally, I love talking about John Boyega.
