Is this not true?

This stands up with any version of Beeblebrox, and any version of Ryckert. BBC series version, Sam Rockwell version, text adventure game version, book or radio version... they're all just Dan Ryckert.

Should we be looking for Dan's second head?

Edit: To clarify, this is not a "Dan looks like Zaphod" post. This is a "Dan does and stands for exactly the same things as Zaphod" post.

Look, it's Dan Ryckert in a blonde wig:

yup

Seems about right.

His second head is actually Jose Canseco

Old. This is known. Somone figured it out on NeoGaf I think.

I mean your not wrong. That still doesn't make it a good thing.

Dan Ryckert is not a hoopy frood I'd like to sass and I very much doubt he knows where his towel is.

(Do we know if Brad's read Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy yet? Him not doing so was brought up on the Bombcast years ago and it's unknown if that was resolved.)

No idea who or what a Beeblebrox is but I imagine Dan would hate him beacuse he's fancy. I mean he has longer than regulation length hair.

I'd say he has more in common with the mattresses of Sqornshellous Zeta. I mean, he has both flolloped and vollued, and of course he willomied quite loudly at Drew on multiple occasions.

@blackout62: Perhaps @brad would gain some insight into the frood-er that is Daphod Beebleckert if he did read it!

I mean it wouldn't surprise me if @danryckert had read the book as a kid and based his entire personality on Zaphod. He seems like the kind of duder who would stare into the Total Perspective Vortex and survive, and it's only a matter of time before he wills himself into the position of President of the Galaxy.

Oh my God, of course he is...

Quick and nasty a bit like Dan

(I love the shit Dan get's up to but he can be an annoying sod).

From the source itself, Douglas Adams:

“One of the major difficulties Trillian experienced in her relationship with Zaphod was learning to distinguish between him pretending to be stupid just to get people off their guard, pretending to be stupid because he couldn't be bothered to think and wanted someone else to do it for him, pretending to be outrageously stupid to hide the fact that he actually didn’t understand what was going on, and really being genuinely stupid. He was renowned for being amazingly clever and quite clearly was so—but not all the time, which obviously worried him, hence, the act. He preferred people to be puzzled rather than contemptuous.”

@justkamtoo: Oh wow, that's amazing.

So he's invented his Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster during BLLSL last year, and now it's just a matter of time before he's the first president of Earth

How did I not see this before.

@jonny_anonymous Take a look at pictures of Dan in college: it is about the same length.

Makes sense to me

I should really read these books again, they are all kind of a blur now.

Nailed it. Only a Heart of Gold style infinite improbability drive could explain how Dan does half the stuff he does.

Yeah but I bet if you asked him about it he would say it was not for looks but that he was just a normal regular guy that didn't have time to get it cut.

I don't know who the person is in that picture but it sure as hell isn't Zaphod Beeblebrox.

I felt that the most clever part of the movies was how they didn't just put two heads next to each other. The head on top of a head was far more interesting, and far more creepy when it emerges.

@monkeyking1969:

Yeah I totally agree actually, it felt like his Adams apple was forcing itself out every time. That's if I remember correctly, not seen it since the cinema.

That and the bit where they turn to wool etc are the only bits I really remember.
