No conversation is off limits on a crowded train during a busy commute, especially for chatty New York City straphangers.

On just another ordinary day on the NY metro, a female passenger approached comedian Brandon Scott Wolf and commented that he looked familiar. His off-the-cuff response to her unusual observation became a viral sensation that is both hilarious and packs a punch.


"A woman on the train kept staring at me and after about 25 minutes she was like 'I'm sorry, but you look like my high school boyfriend who passed away,'" the stand-up comedian tweeted in his anecdote. "And without missing a beat I was like 'Amanda?' and she was like 'My name's Rachel' ... but imagine if I guessed her name right."


What if he confirmed her hunch? "There would be two scenarios that could make sense to her," he proposed. "1) I faked my own death and started a new life in a nearby school district. 2) I'm a ghost?"

Oh, sheet.

Giphy

Soon, others joined in the spooky fun on Twitter and offered additional scenarios.


People went to some pretty dark places.


People seemed to get into the spectral nature of things.


Truly next level horror.



There are other some talented comedians out there.


He could've played the part of the territorial ghost. Remember this stand up character?



What are the odds?





The Philadelphia native, who currently lives in Brooklyn, is no stranger to shock comedy. He's been a natural at delivering arresting one-liners and is billed as "a droll one-liner comic with a passion for absurd comedic ideas."

"Everything that I've done in life that's been remotely successful started out with a joke that I just blurted out," he told the New York Times. "And then I was like, 'You know what, I'm going to do that."

In addition to being a stand-up, Wolf's work also includes being a staff writer for NBC's Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris and a freelance contributor for Saturday Night Live's "Weekend Update." He also contributed his humor and sharp wit to Ellen, USA Today, Yahoo!, BuzzFeed, GQ, The Huffington Post, Mashable, MTV News, and VICE, among many others.

He also simplified the rigors of online dating by narrowing down potential partners to just one person – himself, on his fake website, DateBrandonScottWolf.com. Samples from the questionnaire portion include, "If you could be any animal, which one would you be?" and "What toppings would you put on your burger?"

Some of the drop-down menu options, including ones for gender, and sexual preference, includes the options: male, female, caucasian.

"It's different, people were able to see my sense of humor, and I had a lot of fun making it," he said in an interview with Personal Branding Blog.

As for the girl on the train.

The exchange occurred after host Rebecca Quick pressed Louisiana Republican and former physician Bill Cassidy on how his party intended to fund the “trillion-dollar tax cuts” sought by President Donald Trump.

GOP Senator Gets Blunt Reality Check After Comparing Trump Tariff 'Pain' To Home Renovation

Montana Republican Senator Tim Sheehy was criticized after he tried to compare the "short-term pain" of President Donald Trump's tariffs to home renovation, a claim so ridiculous that CNN's Kaitlan Collins quickly pushed back on the analogy.

Trump has repeatedly referred to April 2 as “Liberation Day,” pledging to impose tariffs—taxes on imports—to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign goods. He has framed these tariffs as “reciprocal,” aiming to match the duties other nations place on American exports.

Liberal Wisconsin Judge Calls Out Elon Musk In Victory Speech—And It's Everything

Liberal judge Susan Crawford called out billionaire Elon Musk in her victory speech after winning a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, basking in successfully beating her Republican opponent Brad Schimel and ensuring that the nonpartisan court’s narrow 4-3 liberal majority remains intact despite Musk's efforts to sway the race.

Musk fueled the high-stakes race, having poured more than $20 million into supporting Schimel, according to state campaign records. That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.
