It's that time again! No, not time to make the donuts, time for another exciting round of - SWITCHED AT BIRTH?!!
Side note: I was recently asked, "Shouldn't this feature have been called "Separated at Birth?", not "Switched at Birth?" Well, yeah, it should have, but I accidentally called the first one "Switched at Birth?" and continued to copy the html template that way until I was several episodes into the thing and realized the mistake. Then I was too lazy to go back and change all the pages so I just ran with it. |
Toht (Raiders of the Lost Ark) |
Judge Doom (Who Framed Roger Rabbit?) |
FO's Comment: The ole villain in the black trenchcoat, fedora, and glasses getup. Works every time. |
Vampire (Final Fantasy Mystic Quest) |
Maleficent (Sleeping Beauty) |
FO's Comment: I had a Halloween costume one time that looked like Maleficent. |
Kenny G (Jazz Musician) |
Sideshow Bob (The Simpsons) |
FO's Comment: Somehow, Sideshow Bob still manages to be less evil. |
Kenny G |
"Modern" Weird Al |
Submitted by Codie Martin
FO's Comment: But only one is intentionally hilarious. |
Doom (Final Fantasy 6) | Valvoga (Makai Kingdom) |
Submitted by Codie Martin
FO's Comment: Wonder if there's a common point of reference... |
Skeleton Statue (ActRaiser) |
Japanese Statue (???) |
FO's Comment: I was looking up information on Tanukis (the real animal, not the big-balled fairytale creatures) and I noticed that this statue sitting in someone's Tanuki Garden is nearly-identical to this enemy from the Marahna Temple in ActRaiser, except for the head. That statue must be what the ActRaiser enemy is based on, but I don't know what it is. |
Red Mage (Final Fantasy) |
Cloaked NPC (Legend of the Ghost Lion) |
FO's Comment: The little dude in the red hat and cape to the right of Maria in my Ghost Lion screenshot looks nearly-identical to the Red Mages from Final Fantasy, right down to the feather in the hat. Definitely seems like a rip-off to me. |
Peter Venkman (The Real Ghostbusters) |
Conan O'Brien (Late Night with Conan O'Brien) |
FO's Comment: As my friend SethraShnoo said it, hair curls are going in opposite directions, but that's otherwise very uncanny... |
Tommy (Arizona Law Toons) |
Hank Hill (King of the Hill) |
Submitted by: CB007
FO's Comment: So, Hank was expelled from high school for phoning in a death threat? Who knew he was such a prankster? |
Les Moore (Funky Winkerbean) |
Frank Grimes (The Simpsons) |
Submitted by Codie Martin.
FO's Comment: I think this means someone on The Simpsons is going to get cancer.
|
Arnold Schwarzenegger (The Terminator) |
Albert Wesker (Resident Evil) |
Submitted by Nghtmarz2.
FO's Comment: We could probably devote an entire page to Arnold lookalikes the same as I did for the Alien.
|
Max (Mighty Max) | Zack (Where is Carmen Sandiego?) |
Submitted by Nghtmarz2, "I think Max is the guy only younger...like when you
see Amanda Bynes in those old All That shows doing her own show"
FO's Comment: Yeah, Max is basically a younger Zack with a baseball cap.
|
Norman (Mighty Max) |
David Xanatos (Gargoyles) |
Submitted by Nghtmarz2.
FO's Comment: Growing your beard slightly longer in the corners isn't fooling anyone, Frakes! |
Carmen Sandiego (Where is Carmen Sandiego?) |
D (Vampire Hunter D) |
Submitted by Nghtmarz2.
FO's Comment: That is extremely uncanny.
|
Talon, Malon, & Ingo (Zelda: Ocarina of Time) |
Mario, Peach, & Luigi (Super Mario Bros.) |
Submitted by Nghtmarz2, "Obviously intentional, but still you gotta laugh at the fact that NO ONE'S brought it up."
FO's Comment: It was mentioned in the Cameos Database. That section and this one tend to have some overlap.
|
Red Falcon (Contra 3: The Alien Wars) |
Frank (Donnie Darko) |
Submitted by Kairobi King.
FO's Comment: Wow! That's really weird! Almost makes you wonder if it was on purpose.
|
Robo-Corpse (Contra 3: The Alien Wars) |     | Sigma's Final Form (Mega Man X6) |     | T-800 (The Terminator) |
Submitted by Nghtmarz2.
FO's Comment: The Robo-Corpse is most likely based on the Terminator design. Again, we could fill a whole page with these. |
Carnage (Maximum Carnage) |
Red Falcon (Contra 3: The Alien Wars) |
Submitted by Nghtmarz2.
FO's Comment: Oh yeah, the giant villain head over the cityscape cliche. We could probably fill a whole page with those, too. |
Alien Queen (Contra 3: The Alien Wars) |
Mom (Futurama) |
Submitted by Nightmarz2
FO's Comment: Ha ha! |
Athena (Psycho Soldier) |
Chun Li (Street Fighter 2) |
Submitted by Daniel Nagel, "I've never heard of the first game, but there are remarkable similarities between the main actress and Chun-Li. This gets especially interesting when you consider that SNK and Capcom used to be THE main 2D beat'em up producers ever."
FO's Comment: Holy Crap! Athena's head design in that picture is most definitely based on Saavik from the Star Trek movies:
No way it could be coincidence. |
Vash the Stampede (Trigun) |
Killey (Suikoden 2) |
Submitted by Kassandra Himutsu.
FO's Comment: Killey is Vash with a hat, basically. |
Moses (South Park) |
MCP (TRON) |
Submitted by Andi Lobinger.
FO's Comment: Looks like an intentional reference to me. |
Whoopie (Rocket: Robot on Wheels) |

Helena Douglas (Dead or Alive 2) |
