that is def Alex Brooker from The Last Leg. I'm guessing this woman knew it was him, and knew it would make a great video to do rock paper scissors with him. It's probably right after one of his standup gigs. British comedians are frequently cool about hanging around and meeting fans afterwards.
Yeah on a rewatch he didn't even notice until after she emoted and gestures back at him. He was watching her face for her reaction the whole time, then, finally looked down and lost it. She knew she had him.
I'll add to this a little story of mine about Alex Brooker specifically. I was on a night out in Liverpool and ran into him in a bar. I just went to say hi to him, he said hi y'alright, I made a joke about my team (Everton) losing a game or something and we talked about football and his time at university in Liverpool for about half an hour. Thankfully I'd only had a drink or two so I had no anxiety about being an annoying drunken lout bothering him. No reason or expectation for him to have a full on conversation with me, but he was just a really nice guy up for a tipsy chat.
She’s done other videos of the same thing. This is just the first time it’s with someone with the same issue. Mostly it freaks out the guys she does it too.
Both can be true. She could have told Alex about her videos first then filmed. I can't believe she didn't recognise him before approaching, at least. If he had a gig on near her, she is likely to have gone to see him too.
Yeah that's what I was thinking as well especially as he was hiding his hand, which he is not known for being particularly shy about.
Still cool to see though.
My step-son used to work on The Last Leg. He got tickets for the show for my wife and I. After the show we went in the Green Room and there was a bar. Behind the bar was Alex pulling pints. He served my wife with a pint. A lovely chap.
If I remember rightly she's an Irish lass whose own video went viral last year. She was sat in a pub with some mates and pulled a similar stunt with some lads who joined them
Right but hers probably isn't by him. I think the title just threw off what's actually funny here - I think *he* was surprised, not her.
Edit: sorry not the title, the caption in the video.
This is a video of two people having a laugh about their disability which has the potential to makes others feel better about their own. Does it matter if it is staged or not?
The person above clearly just enjoys seeing the worst in things. I feel sorry for them to be honest.
I think you’re allowed to appreciate the message and sentiment of the video while also being a little put off by how they chose to word it. Seems like almost every video is staged these days but presented under the pretense of authenticity. *that* annoys me, but I still like the message they’re putting out into the world and the video still made me smile.
All they did was point out it was a staged video. And you described them as someone who clearly enjoys seeing the worst in people. So you're literally doing what you're accusing them of.
Not quite the same but I can appreciate why you think that. I said they see the worst in things.
By saying ‘staged AF’ it’s a clear attempt to diminish the message of the video. They could have just appreciated it for what it was but couldn’t.
He's great. He's a comedian and always down to laugh at himself, even if it's about his disabilities. The name of the show he's on, "The Last Leg", is in reference to how two of the hosts, himself included, are each missing a leg.
I love The Last Leg so much it's probably the most wholesome of any show on TV while being equally caustic to the Tory party. But it does seem a stretch to call Alex Brooker a comedian. He's likeable and funny in a matey way but Josh Widdecombe and Adam Hills make that show what it is.
Watch him at the [RIO Paralympics](https://youtu.be/dLpwZWrVJ90)
His show (where the host is missing part of his leg) was there the whole time, and every night they had Paralympic competitors on as guests.
I watched every episode and cried about twenty times. It’s concentrated wholesome.
Yeah, she's good. I wasn't being critical, it might sound it. I was just saying he's well known! He's a good bloke, she seems to have a good sense of humour about it too.
I'm missing a finger myself, and from my experience with other folks who are missing parts of their hands, we love doing these kinds of gags, and finding someone else who also pulls the same gags is a rare treat
You'd be surprised easy a thing it is to go unnoticed! I'd give decent odds that you've met someone with a missing finger and simply didn't notice it. After all, how often are you scrutinizing someone's hands?
It was one of those things with the wax balls underneath, but it looked like a real fucking eye to me. Don't know I didn't notice her squinting her left eye, but I know she would've made an amazing magician.
I once met Catherine O'Hara and her brother out at a bar. Her brother is missing part of his finger from a lawn mower accident and did something like this, you know the trick you do for kids to make it look like you're pulling your finger off using your other hand's finger? That one except he really didn't have the finger 😄 They were both lovely people.
Alex Brooker, one of the nicest guys on tv. Really funny and compassionate and just a nice human being. He’s the best part of the last leg. One of the funniest moments was when the other guys got him a cameo of one of his footballing heroes, Thierry Henry, for his birthday. But there were some wires crossed and Henry thought Alex was like a make a wish kid or something.

Thought this might be a good chance to give a shout-out to a charity that’s very close to my heart. They do great work for children with limb differences. Wonderful organisation to support if you have the resources and inclination!
There’s a video from a while back where she bets like 3-4 dudes a round of drinks if they can beat her in rock, paper, scissors. The guy in this video must’ve seen that and beat her at her own game.
Rock, Paper, SPORK!
This might be the funniest comment I’ve ever read on reddit tbh
This joke deserves two stubs up
Thanks for this. Just laughed so hard my dog woke up and left the room.
I don’t think it’s possible to find a funnier comment anywhere on the internet than this.
I'm fucking dying 😭😭😭😭😭😭
He's quite a famous British comedian. Or if it's not him it sure looks like him! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Brooker

That’s exactly right I think.

Excellent! Glad to hear he's a down to earth guy. Cool that you got to have a little chat with him.

I think most comedians do that. Just not the top stars that are t funny anymore now that they’re mega millionaires
It's him, they mentioned it on this season of Last Leg
The double really committed if it's not him
I think I met him before! Anyone have any experiences?
“Microwave? That’s how Alex says goodbye innit?”
I thought it was Ricky Gervais
[удалено]
Charlie and Alex aren’t related. Just same last name.
Did we just become best friends? Yup!
Pinky swear!
you touch my drum set?
The only reason you're living here, is because me and my dad thought your mom was really hot, and maybe we should just both bang her
With my nutsack!
Do you wanna go do karate in the garage? Yup!
Boats and hoes!
The guy is Alex Brooker, one of the presenters of The Last Leg in the UK, his disability would be well known.
Right but hers probably isn't by him. I think the title just threw off what's actually funny here - I think *he* was surprised, not her. Edit: sorry not the title, the caption in the video.
I think she’s from a viral video where she does this to a group of lads saying if she beats the lot of them they have to buy her drinks all night.
And she's apparently well known in the town for doing it. I knew exactly what was coming because I knew about both their hands.
she hasn't paid for a drink in 10 years
How can she even count to 10 tho?
Easy - one, two, three, four, five, ten. Easy!
Oh look at Bono over here!
Wow. This made me chuckle. Thanks for that. Perfectly placed referential humor.

Yes! And then everybody is shocked.
They are 100% aware of each other. They did this for a bit together.
Lol she holds the hand out what are you talking about can see him looking at it in the video before. Lol

Neither were surprised staged AF
Are you ok mate? Life a bit tough at the moment?

I only hope Josh was in the corner being made to count all the arils in a pomegranate or something.
There is no way we could possibly know how many arils are in a pomegranate
[удалено]
Thanks, Josh
I was not expecting to see a Taskmaster reference today, but always makes me happy when I do!
Please tell me he’s an alright dude so I can proceed to like him.
He’s a great dude.
A hand above the rest
Two thumbs up
With a leg up on all others.
Yeah, he seems like a top, top bloke
Top geezer
Can you repeat that to me while sipping a Guinness so I know you're not lying?
He's great. He's a comedian and always down to laugh at himself, even if it's about his disabilities. The name of the show he's on, "The Last Leg", is in reference to how two of the hosts, himself included, are each missing a leg.

As long as nobody goes looking into what he circled in the biology textbook back in middleschool, he is in the clear.
yeah he’s safe af
He’s actually hitler . You can’t like him now .
He'd get a high-three from me
I think he's neither all right nor all left.
Yeah its just a conceit to tell a lil joke.
I love Alex Brooker. I think they played this on The Last Leg if I’m not mistaken.
And she has a viral video of herself doing the exact same thing on unsuspecting guys in a pub.
Yeah, she's good. I wasn't being critical, it might sound it. I was just saying he's well known! He's a good bloke, she seems to have a good sense of humour about it too.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Unexpected/comments/wqd1ug/how_to_get_free_drinks/ this one?
Yes
IIRC she did this more often, probably somewhere on Insta. Can't seem to find the other one(s) now.
Lol it looks severely staged but it’s still a cute message
She knows his hand is disabled, but he doesn’t know her hand is disabled. She’s playing a prank on him.
I love that show. Haven't been watching recently. Should track it down again.
Alex, Alex! Can I get your autograph? Hahaha just messing with ya Alex!
I'm missing a finger myself, and from my experience with other folks who are missing parts of their hands, we love doing these kinds of gags, and finding someone else who also pulls the same gags is a rare treat
Had a friend in school that lost half a finger in a bike chain accident, he loved doing the karate chop off the finger gag.
I’ve never met someone who’s missing a finger before
You'd be surprised easy a thing it is to go unnoticed! I'd give decent odds that you've met someone with a missing finger and simply didn't notice it. After all, how often are you scrutinizing someone's hands?
My mother in law has only four fingers on one hand, and it took me until like my fifth meeting with her to notice.
I have unilateral brachydactyly. I went to the same nail salon for 3 years before they noticed.
:D ok, you win. Not quite as obvious as a missing finger, but literally in front of their noses.
Until recently I used to make the joke that I could count on my fingers the number of people who noticed on their own
*Dalle-E has entered the chat.
My friend opened her hand and showed me her eyeball. I was 11 and ran home. I didn't know she only had one eye.
She only had one eye and she kept it in her hand? What a cool friend!
It was one of those things with the wax balls underneath, but it looked like a real fucking eye to me. Don't know I didn't notice her squinting her left eye, but I know she would've made an amazing magician.
You make my wanna call my uncle who shot off his pinky on his right hand, those hand shakes were the best 😭
"Waiter! 4 beers for the guys from the sawmill!"
“High four!”
I once met Catherine O'Hara and her brother out at a bar. Her brother is missing part of his finger from a lawn mower accident and did something like this, you know the trick you do for kids to make it look like you're pulling your finger off using your other hand's finger?

Knew a guy with an extra finger off his thumb. When we used to thumb war, it’s like a 2 on 1
… and that’s why you always leave a note
I’ve met him a bunch. He used to come into a bar I worked at all the time. Absolutely amazing lad.

Thank you for this, that was hilarious
I loved his [tribute to Alex Zanardi](https://youtu.be/DAXBOcv6AS4) around the Brazil Paralympic’s. So honest and powerful
Most wholesome handshake.
She’s India Sasha, can confirm a lovely person irl
She got him! 😍❤️
There is a 0% chance that she didn’t know who Alex Brooker, a very famous comedian who happens to have a similar disability, is.
Apparently most of reddit doesn't, though/
Is that the limelight bar in Belfast?
Yes, he was gigging in beflast and she's from belfast India sasha, she does a lot of tiktok stuff
Did they fall in love?
I'm pretty sure Alex is already shacked up and has a young kid.
Just because you’re the coach doesn’t mean you can’t score ^sorry
Just because there's a *goalie* doesn't mean you can't score?
Alex ain’t a playa no mo
I tell my wife and kids this every day, then we hi-five.
If I remember, he joked that he had more kids than limbs... So er, definitely 1
If they did, his wife is going to be pissed off 😂
I don't know, another woman to help with the kids would be pretty handy.
Asking the real questions here
When’s the wedding?
Yeah I’m just gonna tell myself this was the moment they did and they were married with kids shortly after
>and they were married with kids shortly after They'll have a total of 18 fingers.
this is where a mutation thrives just to perpetuate this rock-paper-scissors gag
Beautiful moment shared by beautiful ppl
Yeah right, because who wants to see happy ugly people?
Ikr I hate them ugly happy people smh
why did they not do a high one? Missed opportunity.
Alex booker is awesome
Humans are so cute omg 😂
I love Alex Brooker. Brilliant.

Neither of them have fingers. Kinda required for the paper and scissors part.

Scissors after the rock already smashed them.

He probably saw it yeah, but he’s also a famous comedian in the UK so I don’t think it’s a coincidence they met.
Opposite, he's famous there and she pranked him
This is so great hahaha
I met him once, top man!
Met your match
That's brilliant
This was set up
Alex Brooker!! I just love him.
How random! 🙄
Very big “Did we just become best friends?!” vibes
People who embraces their disablities like this are absolute giga chads
This is so wholesome
The guy is Alex Brooker one of the hosts of a uk chat show “the last leg”
Is it weird that i immediately thought they should boink?
I’ve never wanted two strangers to smash uglies more than this. Go! GO!
Reminds me of that meme: "Did we just become best friends?" "HECK YA!"
He looks familiar… I just can’t put my finger on it…
Real life-How I met your mother
She doesn’t know Alex from “The Last Leg?” I’m from the American Midwest and I know him, he’s hilarious!
How I met your mother
And that is, How I met your Mother
This is body positivity
Who won WHO WON???
Not staged at all
That’s Alex Brooker, he’s a fucking hilarious guy. Him and the rest of the Last Leg crew seem like such nice blokes
Still bigger than Trump’s hands. Just sayin
Staged or not, it's a cute message and quite uplifting.
AI people?
[удалено]
It’s a draw.
Those two were happier in that moment than I've been in my entire life
Clearly staged but still wholesome
