I don’t think it’s a racial thing, it’s a siblings thing. Outside Donny and Marie (and maybe little Jimmy, who isn’t little anymore) who really knows which Osmond is which? Same goes for the Jacksons beyond Janet and Michael – with Latoya being an exception that proves the rule, cuz she’s crazy.

@kevinmoore: I only know about “Tito” from watching old “Beavis & Butthead” reruns. I’d post a link to the video they showed, but not even YouTube can contain the utter awful of the visuals.

It has nothing to do with race, and everything to do with the existence of somewhere between three and six Wayans brothers (I can’t name them all off the top of my head) who seem to be fungible as far as Hollywood is concerned.

Yeah, it’s a sibling thing. I can’t keep track of which Baldwins are which either. Some people just look for any excuse to turn an innocent comment into a racial thing.

*Waits for someone find the phrase “some people” offensive*

What Darth Paradox said.

fungible? sounds like a mushroom flavored snack food for kids.

They do all look pretty similar, though. You have to admit.

Could this be a celebrity version of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle? You can know about how many Wayans/Baldwins/Osmonds/etc. there are at any given time or you can remember most of their names, or perhaps even where their given careers are, but not all at the same time.

Either that, or their families are in some kind of flux state, not actualizing until one of them receives enough attention.

I think we need a government grant.

I would only support a government grant for studying a celebrity family if part of the study involved shooting bean bags at said family.

Come up with the right game show name and a convincing graphic, and we could get advertisers to fund it too!

While I understand the GI JOE thing was a joke, I don’t understand how anyone could confuse Marlon and Damon Wayans. The two look nothing at all alike…

I think it’s more along the lines of not caring enough to determine which is which.

I have to say, the best of the Baldwins in Hollywood right now is Adam. Not in the least because he could take the rest of them in a fight all at once. 😀

But he’s not related to the others, is he? So it’s kind of cheating to say “Adam” when the question is, “Which Baldwin clone is best?”

Mad Scientist: Is that REALLY a fair fight?

I mean, Adam Baldwin is some kind of immortal. He looks the same now as he did in Full Metal Jacket. His inability to age makes me think that he may not be able to die.

In fact… looking at the very visible aging of the Baldwin Brothers… I think it might be a kind of Dorian Gray situation, but instead of a painting of Adam Baldwin, it’s one pretty entertaining guy and his three hanger on brothers doing the aging.

No, it’s a voodoo thing. He’s just using their name to leech their lifeforce. Which I’m cool with. Otherwise I can’t imagine he’d be happy about people assuming he’s related to them.

Well, if it makes us even, you now have a number of people commenting on this one who didn’t get that I was joking about the telling black people apart thing (except lance lunchmeat; that shit was hilarious).
