    NOT FIRST!

    I think the resemblance is intentional… sorta makes it less lulz-worthy to me

  2. Maijken says:

    *dies laughing* there is no way that robert smith compares to johnny depp.. not even on his best day…

    • Jayson says:

      Yeah, other way around. What, are you 12?

    • Kerfuffle Monger says:

      I’d do ‘em both.

      • jenni. says:

        hell yes! you win. they both rock so hard, and both are aiming to be dark and spooky. as for those of you who don’t think The Cure has a large following, you’re an imbecile. I went to see them in 2008 at Madison Square Garden.. and there was a mindblowing number of people there.. and guess what?

        Most of them weren’t “emo/goth” kids.
        Alot of them were very conservative adults.
        Loads of very conservative people who listen to mainstream rock can still dig
        darkwave and altrock like The Cure and Depeche Mode. I know of plenty.

        • Robert says:

          Amen in sister! Robert Smith was cooler than Johnny Depp could ever dream of being! Besides it is like comparing Apples to Oranges. Smith is a goth rocker and dep is an actor! Oh and lets not forget Smith was Emo before Emo existed!

        • DJDrinkell says:

          I think that’s mainly coz all the teenage goths who used to listen to The Cure’s early stuff have now grown out of it and are in their 30s and 40s. They still listen to it and attend gigs but in a more conservative manner. You can’t grow out of The Cure. Plus I agree that you cannot compare them. It’s completely different. In my opinion Johnny Depp is the greatest actor ever.

    more like edward scissorhands looks like robert smith.

  4. Kyle says:

    Disintigration is the best album ever!

  5. Randall says:

    Robert Smith should do a cover of Coldplay’s Clocks, so when he sings, “Am I part of the cure/ or am I part of the disease?” we can say, “Ooh, we know this one!”

  6. cris says:

    yeah Tim Burton designed Edward Scissorhands to look like Robert Smith.

    where is the robery horry/will smith at?

  7. Guillermo_04 says:

    I’d say he looks more like Alice Cooper than Edward Scissorhands

  8. WarDragon says:

    I think Edward Scissorhands looks like a Chinese woman…

  9. Ham says:

    Also, Matthew Frewer totally looks like Max Headroom. And Ranier Wolfcastle from the Simpsons totally looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger. And Spinal Tap totally looks like a rock band.

    It ain’t a funny accident if it’s intentional, people.

  10. natalie says:

    OMG i LUV johnny depp! especially in the pirates moviez!

    • kayla says:

      OMG!! I LUV 12 year old girlz! Especially when they scream about how much they LUUUUUUV things!! ROFFLE OMG!!!! LAWLZ!!!!!111!!

  11. Kayla says:

    Hey, lay off. the guy’s just trying to make a joke. What, like every single one of YOUR jokes is original?

    I thought it was funny, “Randall”. Good on ya for spreadin’ the love.

  12. Arukas says:

    When I first saw the movie (I had to be like… what.. 7?) I totally thought they were the same person. Yeah, it took YEARS for me to realize it was Johnny Depp… What a sad person I am =C

  13. David says:

    This… is… EPIC!

  14. jivoochi says:

    umm, i think it was by design… tim burton and johnny depp both draw inspiration from real people, i.e. when jd said he was trying to be like keith richards from the POTC movies.
    for this reason only do i vote this one down.

  15. Joe says:

    Thanks for the clarification in the labeling. I’m sure I wouldn’t have realized that Edward Scissorhands was in the movie Edward Scissorhands.

    I’m sorry, I’m a smart ass – just like hundreds of others on this site. Because it’s the internet, I can say anything I want and dont have to worry about having my ass beaten, kinda like flipping someone off on the freeway. I feel ashamed

  16. Vincent Demitri says:

    Tim Burton has publically said in an interview that the image of Edward Scissorhands was very much inspired by Robert Smith. The photo should be reversed as to show the obvious inspiration, not the time paradox and misinformation.

  17. lyssie says:

    I think Edward Scissorhands is adorable. Not so much the other guy.

  18. Sally says:

    Tim Burton is a fan of the Cure. He did this on purpose. Quit your squabbles, kids.

  19. Nathalie says:

    Tim Burton (who made Edward) were very inspired by Robert Smith and his cool band.

    So it’s no accident that they look like they very same type of guy …

  20. Bridie says:

    Robert Smith isn’t “an old has-been trying to look cool”; he’s nearly always worn his make-up and hair that way, why should he change it just because he’s got a bit older? And he will always be way better looking than Johnny Depp thankyou very much.

  21. cin says:

    I like Johnny Depp and Robert Smith and The Cure. Robert Smith has had that same look for a looong time, it is his stage persona. The Cure has been a successful and great band for a long time. Whether you like them or not, they have been very successful and have been so for many years, not an easy task for a rock band. Johnny Depp is an actor, and that picture is from a role he played, and actually played well. He is quite good at playing quirky roles. I don’t think either Robert Smith or Johnny Depp needs to be considered good or bad at the expense of the other. I personally like both men, respect and enjoy their work, and think both are attractive and sexy. So there, neener neener.

    • NIGHT-MERE says:

      Well said. Both Depp and Smith are trying to be themselves. In Edward Sissorhands, Depp is just trying to be the character.

  22. kori says:

    go watch NME awards 2009 and listen to what Tim Burton says about the cure and Robert Smith

  23. cha says:

    The Cure is the best band that ever lived.
    Johnny Depp is the best actor and coolest guy that ever lived.

  24. llc says:

    except for the hands, i’m sure.

  25. Kevin says:

    It might have something to do with that Tim Burton got his inspiration to most of his carachters from just Robert Smith.

    FYI, I think Robert lookED better than Depp but hes getting old ^^

  26. James says:

    Your people are stupid. Tim Burton admitted he fashioned Edward Scissorhands AFTER Robert Smith. Smith was the inspiration for the character, retards. Of course E.S. looks like Smith. Do your research.

  27. Salix says:

    That’s like saying Spike looks like Billy Idol, or Queen wrote Radio Gaga after Lady Gaga. Time frame is other way round! Or did Robert get in a time machine when he was a teen and go watch Edward Scissorhands? ;-)
    I love both Robert and Johnny, each is amazing in his art.

  28. Salix says:

    heh.. even I got it backwards.. I meant to say Billy Idol looks like Spike. sorry..

  29. Becca says:

    Robert smith looks like he’s going to eat your soul. edward scissorhands looks like he’s going to eat your soul by death-hug.

  30. brad surmin says:

    some of you need to do some research. Tim purposely made him look similar, Tim and Smith are tight. The cure was even going to make the soundtrack for one of Burton’s movies(i forget which) but they were busy with the ultimate album Disintegration at the time.

  31. Xochitl says:

    The Cure.. amazing band
    Johnny Depp – amazing actor..
    love them both… and robert gets cuter with time

  32. Majo says:

    The right sentence is: Edward Scissorhands totally looks like Robert Smith

    Why? Because Johnny Depp’s character was inspired by the looks of Robert Smith. The movie was filmed in 1991 and in the following video recorded in 1989, you can see a Robert Smith with him peculiar aspect: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ks_qOI0lzho&feature=related

  33. Great points altogether, you just won a new reader. What may you recommend about your submit that you made some days ago? Any positive?

  34. Alana says:

    If you have seen the cures wrong number music video I think this inspired tim burtons corpse bride???

  35. Kerfuffle Monger says:

    Nice recovery FAIL. It’s always an “homage” when one gets caught.

  36. Kerfuffle Monger says:

    And I say this because not everyone knows what XKCD is…like me, for example, and I can guarantee a whole lotta other people.
