There are a million reasons that I love Reddit, among them the feeling of community, the camaraderie of the Internet’s most creative minds, and the righteous championing of a variety of social and political causes, but today it’s because it introduces us to someone truly remarkable: The presently anonymous gentleman above. You see, this guy has snapped a pic with our favorite redhead and Johnnie Walker spokeswoman, Christina Hendricks. It's allegedly one of some 800 photos of him with celebrities, and each one is just as awkward as the next.
Some background: Reddit user “gwniii” recently posted 100 photos of what he described as his “friend uncomfortably smiling with celebrities” and the result was more than 3,400 comments of people demanding to know who this guy is and how the hell he has so many pictures with celebrities. I, for one, am impressed. I've always assumed that to get a picture with Mila Kunis or Vanessa Hudgens without going to jail I was going to need a bottle of chloroform and a good lawyer. But this guy has them all, and if I find out he has a picture with Kate Upton I might just be willing to bow down to him as my new overlord.
"I should say that this guy has literally no clue that his smile is somewhat awkward, or that I have posted the pics outside of Facebook," gwniii wrote. "I rarely talk to him, so I have absolutely no idea how or why he gets these pics. He's an enigma."
Alas, we are all left with so many questions. For instance, what does Mila’s hair smell like? Also, does he wear Vanderbilt gear because he went to school there or is he just a huge Jay Cutler fan? Thankfully, “gwniii," who claims to be a first-timer on Reddit who has no clue what he's doing, says that he will soon post “10 non-boring questions” as answered by this strange new Internet celebrity, as he has refused to do a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything). Until then we await and admire just a sampling of this awesome awkwardness. And can we just call him "Todd" for now? He kind of looks like a Todd. Take it away, Todd...

Also, he wore the shirt of the band he was going to see.
Don’t think I didn’t notice that.
Maybe he’s a bartender in a high-class bar in Vegas.
He’s at least a banquet waiter for some of them, possibly also a professional seat filler for a few others.
Also Megan Fox looks like she’s into him therefore, hero.
ELIJAH WOOD ES TEH WINZ!
C-Tates is posting exactly how I pictured he would, minus the wifebeater and gold chain.
Bruno Mars looks like a wax statue. Do all Hawaiian people look like wax statues? I’ve never been further west than Chicago.
The Jesse James Kat Von D picture is the awkwardest of awkward family pictures.
Someone just pointed out to me that our boy looks a little like Tucker Max and now I can’t stop imagining that it’s Tucker posing with all of these people.
Thought of that one the first picture. He looks like Tucker’s awkward younger brother Todd. … Todd Max. What assholes his parents must be.
TOTALLY TODD MAX!
“Hi, Tucker. I’m Todd.”
Todd Max is my new anonymous dating site persona.
I don’t know, that picture with Vanessa Hudgens looks like he’s trying to get her into the back of van, then toss her into a hole in his basement, while he tucks his cock and balls and dances in front of mirror.
Run Vanessa, Run!!
Photoshop.
If only we knew where he went to school, I might be able to track him down. Oh well.
Also, lulz at the guy eye-banging Drew Barrymore’s rack.
Holy shit, Gary Busey is making fun of him.
I love that Aziz is making the same awkward forced smile.
Was just coming in to mention the same thing.
Oh! Sarah Hyland
Art thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou,?’ show me – show me, I implore!
Quoth the raven ‘Nevermore’!
Yep Kesha is still ugly.
Go figure, Bieber looks like a lesbian, Kesha, Miley Cyrus, Steve Harvey are drunk, Gerald Butler is hammered, Matt Damon is apparently a farmer, Channing Tatum still thinks he’s black, Taylor Lautner can’t help but look like a homosexual, Terrance Howard is NOT wearing a fancy hat, Tim Tebow is just being the nice guy that he is, sisters Mila Kunis and Sarah Hyland are spectacular looking all the time. Ironically, one of the most normal looking people on here is Ron Jeremy. Normal if you discount his giant wrinkled wang.
This guy deserves to be leading a cult. I am not disappoint.
a lot of these pics do look photoshoped but i’m not sure. a lot of them are in airports and a lot have him dressed like a caterer. i’m guessing this dude does catering and valet type work. its the only real way all of these celebs would be forced into a situation with a guy like this. they look like “ok another pic with some random guy” type pics. either way i’d contract polio just to get a pic w mila kunis.
It makes sense, but he’s too casual around them and the celebs, for the most part, seem pretty accommodating, more like he’s a fan than someone working at an event. The think putting me over the top in thinking he’s not working, is that Sean Combs is shaking his hand and posing. I can’t imagine that pretentious prick wannabe high society douche would do that.
He seems to live in Nashville. He’s wearing Vandy gear in several shots. Some photos were taken at the Nashville airport, one at Loew’s Vanderbilt Hotel, one outside Hermitage Hotel [ZZ Top photo], one outside War Memorial Auditorium, Hutton Hotel, Zanie’s, etc.
since when do the comments here show up as latest to earliest? wtf is happening and why don’t i know about it?
That took effect here at UPROXX over the weekend. I don’t think those changes have been instituted network wide as of this moment.
I did a mini intro in our Golden Globes live blog. Where were you heemoy?!?!
[www.uproxx.com]
It completely threw me off too.. now I have to scroll down then up? one more scroll then necessary
This man is my hero.
Love the Megan Fox photo.
He’s so determinedly awkward, that he is completely unfazed by Megan’s preposterous hotness.
She seems down. I’m thinking Todd roofied her. Then again, she did marry David Silver.
He might be a Tebow fan, but he didn’t need to photoshop a halo over him.
Stallone is jacked. I hope I look like that when I’m 70.
Dreamworks face?
lol @ Butlerface. And Stallone’s arms are almost as frightening as Madonna’s.
am i the only one that thinks these are photoshopped or is it that obvious and i’m just dumb
This guy is just really good with Photoshop…
I can definitely see the point in arguing that they’re photoshopped, but I really believe that he more likely jumps in front of celebs. At least that’s what I want to believe.
Some of those looked photoshops, like the Walhberg one. But he probably works at catering or parties where these people tend to show up. And I like Aziz picture, he seems to be aware of this guy’s awkward smile.
I was about to say the same thing. Some of the lines and shadows just don’t look right in reference to where the camera flash should be. I’m guessing he probably just photoshopped a bunch of celebrities over normal pics of his.
We need a dude who can get away with squeezing celeb bewbs.
Ohh, Chloe Moretz… uh… is a fine, upstanding young woman to whom I wish the best of luck!
*nods contentedly, knowing no one caught on*
She’s 14, bud. lol. Wait a few more years.
Aww, not mention of #FatAxl in the comments?
lol @ the one with aziz ansari
@ slide 27 I laughed and made a joke to myself hahaha look now he has AIDS. Then I got really disapointed with myself when I saw him with Ms. Kunis.
Photoshop. SURELY?
