The "What if GTP Was ____" Game

[YSSMAN]

So not too long ago we used to play a game at work where we would ask the question "What if the staff was on the show Friends" (or whatever other show, band, movie, etc you have) and we'd go through the staff and try to relate characters to employees.

I want to do the same on GTP.

You can do whatever you want (movies, music, books, TV, videogames, etc), just match the character(s) with members on the site.

An example?

What if GTP was Scrubs?

- The Janitor: Azureman
- Dr. Cox: Toronado
- Dr. Kelso: M5Power
- Dr. Dorian: Myself, YSSMAN
- Dr. "Turk": Philly Cheese
- Dr. Todd: EWillis
- Ted: Keef

...Go ahead! Lets do this!

(and yes, you can do Scrubs if you want)

 

[exigeracer]

You both don;t have close to enough wit to be JD. I'd nominate daan for John Dorrian, but not you two cats. There\s a certain cool factor to be JD.

PS, I'm the ultimate Scrubs trvia bot, so come one and test me.

 

[Omnis]

Don't watch scrubs.

 

[exigeracer]

Nooo watchbi scrubs!!

 

[Loon]

Yeah Scrubs is good. And Duck can't on all accounts can't be The Todd...

[YSSMAN]

Should we try another?

What if GTP was Metalocalypse?

- Skwisgaar Skwigelf: McLaren
- Toki Wartooth: Joey D
- William Murderface: EWillis
- Pickles: daan (sometimes)
- Nathan Explosion: Toronado (sometimes)

EDIT: Lolz on Thomas the Tank Engine... Henry fits very well indeed!

Sakiale isn't here.

That's right, Diesel got Banninated off the island. Multiple times.

I didn't know there were all these other characters, I was surfing the wiki for hours last night.

Skarloey: OldGeezer/whatever his username is now

I'd nominate Jordan for Sir Topham and EWillis for Duck......

Who is going to be the freight cars?

 

[High-Test]

No.. Jordan is Rev. W. V. Awdry.


I never thought of the freight cars... Hmm. 💡 Could all the noobs and the Skyline/PS3/Veyron fanboys be the infernal trucks?

I nominated Jim Prower for Duck because things just aren't the Caterpillar way.

n00bs?

Terence? He is on cats.

 

[High-Test]

n00bs?



Terence? He is on cats.

Merde!! But still, Jim had Duck as his avatar for an eternity. Plus, he's well versed in the mechanics of Locomotives.

EWillis is Donald's Duck. There.. EWillis is an acutal Duck, and not a Great Western pannier tank 0-6-0 named Montegue. And, EWillis causes laughs. But is he daan's Duck?

All these minor characters!! I'm confused.

That leaves BoCo, Toby (not a minor character..), Terence, Trevor, George, and Bertie.

Haha, nice. He's got the best lines.

"You are a GMILF. That is a grand mother I would like to...."

Don't forget Neville. I'll be Neville.

 

[High-Test]

They've come up with so many characters since I was little. I was watching it with my 5 year old nephew, and I'm confused! There are so many characters now!

Don't forget Salty. Or Murdoch. Murdoch pwns gordon in the power category, apparently, and enjoys the quiet of the countryside.

That's it, Venari is Murdoch.

 

[dylansan]

Wow. An intelligent discussion of Thomas the Tank Engine. Are you guys sure you're not bored? Or maybe it's just because I never see it. If it's that good maybe I should try to watch it.

 

[High-Test]

I'm bored as hell. It's ten below zero with a windchill of -25. I don't think I'll be going outside anytime soon. The small number of posting female members makes most books and movies difficult to use. Why not use a bunch of anthropomorphic locomotives? (who are predominately male) I was on wikipedia for two hours looking up the railway series and all of the characters and the engines they're modeled after. Gordon's story is nifty. Supposedly he's the prototype for the Flying Scotsman.

 

[superberkut]

[expletive] new Railway Series! Britt Allcroft really sold out here!

Yes, I have watched it, with my little brother. I can help you out here.

That leaves BoCo, Toby (not a minor character..), Terence, Trevor, George, and Bertie.

Requirements:

BoCo- (witty person)
Toby- (old, wise person)
Terence- (perhaps a friendly person who is eager to prove himself)
Trevor- (old person, fond of children [UGH!])
George- (ill-tempered patriot)
Bertie- (autophile, friendly rival to Sage/Thomas)

Harold- Greycap? (both are flight-oriented, from what I see)

Incidentally, there is a character on the adjoining narrow-gauge railway named Duke.

 

[High-Test]

I recall that Bertie was always an ass.. did they change the character?

BoCo: -Diego- Haha.. they made a name out of a drive wheel arrangement..
Terence: Perfect_Balance

Who's Harold?

 

[Rykon Zero]

I have no idea who I would be, as I'm just that annoying 13 year old who's always here.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

Who's Harold?

I'm suprised with all this Thomas the Tank Engine discussion.

[YSSMAN]

Someone should do The Simpsons... I'm absolutely positive that we can find a character for anyone on here. I may do it later, but it will take a couple passes through my Simpsons book to get enough people to make it worthwhile...
