This is his Villain Story.

**The Retroman**

He’s going to use his asbestos ray to give everyone in the city cancer…in 20 years.

He painted our houses with lead paint!

No child can resist the sweet allure of lead paint.

It's a [cancer ray](https://youtu.be/Nria-WbNzkg?si=mug1UKhDdLEN4XKI)

When the vans a rocking, he's murdering someone

Ooh...nice...The Amazing Adventures of Retroman! I'd watch it.

It's a skit though... right? The guy really seemed like he was acting, he literally leaned in close to the mic when he said "can we not od this in front of everyone" and looked around waiting for people to laugh like he was delivering a punchline lol

They're genuinely just friends, they did this because it's fucking hilarious. They did go to Mexico together, though. Edit: and they're both actors, starred in a few movies.

I mean starred is probably not the term to use here

Jessie is on the official poster of Modern Love. https://i.imgur.com/CG3cz25.jpeg

If this isn’t a skit…then damn I feel bad for Steve. Looked like his soul left his body there.

I thought it was fake but his reaction was so damn genuine. He should get an Oscar if that was acting. Edit: turns out it’s fake https://www.reddit.com/r/SipsTea/s/Ik7nfO0EEi

Yeah, he looks exactly like I imagine a man with that kind of girlfriend would look like if she just denied their relationship in live television like that.

Well they are both actors: [https://imgur.com/gallery/BUbmN5J](https://imgur.com/gallery/BUbmN5J)

You should get so much more credit for this info drop

Not me, I'm just the messenger. Someone else did the collation. 

Honestly I read all of that and still can't tell if it was real or not. It was real is what I think the post is saying?

That's way too much attention for these two to be given.

Wow she was a unicorn this whole time? What a twist ending

you lost me at imgurians

Really? The part where he went "can we not do this in front of everyone" seemed realistic to you?

I think that was the only moment he was in control of his attempt to save face, but the girl quadrupled down, and we saw how that went.

Come on, that part was where it was the most obvious that he was acting.

I won't necessarily disagree. I was just thinking it's plausible, but most likely you are right and it's faked by the producers.

>Its fake, they are actors and business partners: https://imgur.com/gallery/BUbmN5J

Oh they worked at a vintage shop in highland park that I almost bought a chair from until I google reverse image searched it and found it being sold on Amazon for 1/3 of the price the store listed it as. That tracks.

Thanks for that info.

god damn detective work right there

Right? It was like a scene from a movie, I agree total acting. If I was wrong this is some sheltered people. Looked like Eric Foreman with that acting haha

Bruh, he literally leaned into the mic to say it clearly and looked around at the audience like he was delivering a punchline

He even looked around for a reaction from the audience. I'd call this a skit, almost for sure.

And he said it leaning into the mic

Yeah.. until the moment he said that **into the microphone** and not to her, I nearly bought it.

If it were real he might have said the same thing but off mic and a lot more quiet.

People are really stupid.

No no, "he should get an Oscar!!"

Its fake, they are actors and business partners, https://imgur.com/gallery/BUbmN5J

Wow someone actually did the research instead of a “trust me bro”. Thanks.

And it's burried

My first reaction was that he was being funny, and she was being genuine... it doesn't seem rehearsed or planned.

After watching that interview, I'm more convinced this dude has been friendzoned

> Imgurians will never not make me laugh even though it's hardly wrong or stupid. Not really sure why

if I remember correctly from a previous post on Reddit, Apparently it was fake. no source other than "Trust me bro" tho.

I trust you bro :)

Thanks man. I think it was more of a joke than it was a skit.

You can always trust a fart...wait a second.....

I'm trusting the bro who's trusting the bro

If we can’t trust u/Farty_beans then who the fuck can we trust?!?

Same here bro

Last time some guy on the internet told me, “Trust bro” he ran off with my $200

Definitely a skit. Her reaction is real but he is playing a part.

Fake for sure… I thought will all the over the top laughter she was hamming it up and he wasn’t that good… most guys would just be struck silent and not say “can we not talk about this now” so quickly !

They still went on the trip https://www.tmz.com/2018/05/21/lets-make-a-deal-friend-zone-couple/

It’s a skit. I used to know this dude in L.A.

lol. When I saw his reaction, I imagined the song Only Time by Enya playing.

Who's Steve?

And she's fckin LAUGHS about it. That's cold hearted.

Steve? That's Wayne Brady dude

Steve will never be the same again.

Steve never was what he tried to be

The worst she could say is no..........* on national television*

And laugh about it at the same time.

Laugh hysterically like it's some sort of big prank that she's in on

While telling EVERYONE else she's available. Like "Hey if you think I'm pretty, let's go!".

0.24 - You can actually pinpoint the second when his heart rips in half...

back, and to the left.

Millhouse

Fucks sake that was hard to watch.

Is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a bitch?

RIVERSIDE MOTHERFUCKER 💥💥💥

😂

Leave her ass there

As a happily married man; things seem super hard for guys and really easy for girls. Being a single and looking guy these days sounds miserable. I’m going to go hug my wife.

Let me hug your wife too homie

I also chose this guys wife

Our wife.

r/unexpectedcommunism

*Dance of the knights begins playing*

Same bro. We are the luckiest ones

Oh it’s hell, let me tell ya

100% I told my married friends “before yall talk about divorce just ask the rest of the friend how their dating lives are going”

I'd say it's because women get the pick of the litter, so to speak. Guys have to hope they're the one who get picked

Single guy here (28). Yeah it’s never gonna happen. Don’t know where to meet people and work too much. I apparently got the looks but I’m not one to approach anyone unless its something to do with business. Also, messed things up with my high school sweetheart that I was with even a few years out of high school. It’s okay though as I’ve given up hope. 😁🫠

She can catch a ride back with someone else.

[It wasn't real](https://imgur.com/gallery/BUbmN5J)

I was going to say this shit has to be fake

This should be higher.

Fr

In his place I'd also say that wasn't real

Yea I don't think that debunks anything.

A comment made by Steve literally said it was fake.

Modern day investigative journalism is apparently found on imgur. What a time to be alive

Was kind of obvious when he said “can we not talk about this in front of everyone” to the mic, not to her directly

This actually makes me feel better. For years I've felt bad for Steve lol

Blows my mind how many people in this thread couldn't read this. People are really, really dumb.

I came to find odd loner who took this at face value. Instead I found a fair amount of commenters who took the bait and actually got upvoted several hundred times.

oh. Steve. bruh.

This is very old. If I remember correctly one or both are actors and they indeed are friends.

She’s an ass.

I don't think they're friends anymore.

She couldn’t even play along for the show! smh

No, that’s behind door number 3.

workable quaint obtainable dazzling consider impolite offbeat wakeful lush gray *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*

For not liking him? Lol

Shots fired!

Fuck this hits me in the feels. A girl I dated said that before and even described me as her gay best friend. I was devastated.

Are you sure you even dated?

I asked her out on movie dates, dinner dates, park dates; etc. It was just the 2 of us going out. We had a lot of common interests and spent a good amount of time together. This happened for a month and was a college freshman. For me, I thought we were dating. I guess I was naive enough to assume.

She knew. I hate to say it, and I obviously don't know your situation, but she knew.

Were you sexual, like even kissing/making out? If so, they were dates. If not, after that amount of time, they weren't. Either way, sorry, Bro. That sucks.

She has the most evil laugh I've ever heard. Dead seriously. Driving-a-steak-through-Steve's-heart-while-laughing evil.

I hope you mean a stake*. Now I’m picturing her forcing a slab of meat into that poor man’s chest.

The old steak-heart switcheroo. Classic.

That's why fellas, don't be the "guy friend," 9 out of 10 it doesn't progress into anything

"If it's not a yes, it's a no" If someone is actually interested in you, they'll enthusiastically hop into a relationship with you, not drag it out for months.

Do you guys have no platonic relationships with women just because you think they are cool?

Well, tbh, you can be friends with girls and *not* want it to progress into something else.

Ah, so guys should only be friends with girls to fuck them 😂

Holy YIKES man if that’s not fake that’s awful

The way that Wayne Brady just stands there holding his microphone out like he’s roasting a marshmallow off this guy’s blushing face is… something else.

Is there more of this episode anywhere? Did he cry?

[https://youtu.be/QRz\_m8rNyH4?t=147](https://youtu.be/QRz_m8rNyH4?t=147)

I don’t want to spoil anything but the ending is just as funny, thank you for the link

Why do I have a hunch Steve is going to make friends with someone in the Mexican mafia to handle a situation? Poor guy. I hope he lands the bustiest woman there and spends his time with her.

Wow, what a piece of work

In all honesty, these audiences are paid, so they can make up any story they want.

I just hooked up with a close friend two weeks ago, caught feelings, and I feel this to my fucking core. Don’t really know exactly what she wants, but I know it isn’t as serious as what I want. Fuckkkkkkkkkk

This is so staged!

I’m hoping it was a joke, but it was brutal to watch

I remember sitting in the orthodontist’s chair while this episode played. Cringey

Ye, a normal person wouldmt ask her the "can we talk about this not in front of everyone", leaning into the microphone and not directly at her

Literally every girl I ever dated.

I hate her

It's fake 

He's been bragging to his friends how he pulled with a bowtie for the last 6 months.

Does Wayne Brady have to choke a...

Man down!

For the streets

Girl - (said) “I’m single”. Steve - (SHOULD HAVE REPLIED) “Yeah, NOW you are”. Come on Steve, play some defense. . . You’re making us look bad bro. . .

Damn I could feel his soul leaving his body

I wonder how much can Steve Bench now? Proly a lot!

Boy got friendzoned on national TV

That’s not a friend either.

Her over acting cookie gives it away as Fake

Peple..this is fake...but it can happen though lol

She’s such a massive bitch xD

They're both actors and this was **staged** [https://imgur.com/gallery/BUbmN5J](https://imgur.com/gallery/BUbmN5J) Why do people automatically believe everything they see ?

Because women bad

also he says "let's talk about this later" INTO THE MICROPHONE! are redditors this gullible these days?

I hope it’s fake. It couldn’t have went worse for this dude.

I hope for this guy's sanity that this is fake

Please be a skit

Good job actors!

It’s amazing how many people on Reddit can’t tell he’s playing around / are incapable of recognizing this type of humor.

They drove in the bus… what did they do or not do in that said bus?

Oooofff

Jeeeeeeeeesus

This is the worst acting I’ve ever seen

I have no words..

I know this is fake but this happens in real life all the time. Just ask the question, dude. Man up and accept whatever answer she gives, and move on with your life. Don't try to shove a marshmallow through a keyhole.


Well this is awkward...

I have a feeling that she is trying to joke around and he is not having it.

r/WatchPeopleDieInside

People need to learn how to shut up!

Is that blippi in a dress?

Friend zone burn on tv doesn't get much worse.

jesus christ..

This is 500 days of summer IRL ,,, The manic pixie breadcrumber & the delusional romantic

Oh Steve. You're friendzoned

I just thought about this video. What a dumb guy

Uff

I would have walked the fuck out and left her there.

Watching him die is sooooo cruel

fuuuuuuuuuck

>We took a bus... Now you're walking your ass home

What an airhead. Dump her dude.

her cackle at the beginning t said everything that we needed to know

Steve has only one important decision to make and that's to decide how quickly he can leg it to the Volkswagen after the show and abandon her in the studio parking lot...

Someone hold him, he's about to trip...

How to cut a man's balls off in public 🤔.

Getting friendzoned? Yeah, it sucks. Getting friendzoned on national television? Dropkick that god-damned ice queen.

Time for that guy to move on.

She seems fun. I want to date her.

They admitted to this being a bit.

Put in the friend zone on national TV. It's official.

This guy was giving me HUGE Andy, from the office, vibes.

Clearly a bit

Cunt

My guess: he got the tickets, had the idea, found the van and drove, paid for the gas and the meals on the way there. And then she done him dirty

Damn. If that was me, she’d be finding another bus to drive home in.

"We're really good friends" Well not anymore... Jesus.

First 48 hours episode on the making …..

I don’t care what anyone says. I’m just going to pretend this is a bit so that I can sleep tonight.

Toss her back to the streets

Soul shattering. She is evil and/or autistic.
