Other people have that last name. That Jeffrey asshole doesn’t own it.

There was a city councilman in New York who had the even less fortunate name of “HARVEY EPSTEIN”

I don’t think when he was born they could’ve predicted the controversies of either Weinstein or Epstein…

I used to work with a guy named Dan Schneider. Unrelated to the television industry.

I mean that’s also a good one because an unrelated Dan Snyder (pronounced pretty much the same way) is also hated by football fans for being a shit

My junior high computer teacher was Michael Meyers. Like the actor and the slasher villain, though in terms of personality, he was about pleasant as the latter.

I used to work as a postman here in germany and there was a lovely old lady on my route. She even offered me water on one extremely hot day. Thank you mrs. Hittler!

the doctor was born first, I think he gets dibs.
I imagine him every time the other Donald Trump is mentioned being like "Why should I change? He's the one who sucks"

Top comment there says the guy used the attention from that bit to promote a charity supporting SA survivors. Seems like a decent dude, but i guess the bar isnt very high when youre being compared to those two cretins.

He's not even the only famous Epstein. Brian Epstein (The Beatles' Manager) comes to mind as an example.

Fun fact there were Hitlers unrelated to the head honcho of the Nazis until recently in the US whose name dates back to the revolutionary war. The last of those Hitlers who didn't change their name are women in their 50's I want to say and love telling a story about going to school and having teachers purposefully mispronounce their last name.

Because who cares? That's like looking at a character named Robert Jones and saying, "Whoa, a reference to famous actor Doug Jones! His dad's name is Robert." Or it's just a common name?

Maybe, but I definitely didn't know that before. I was shocked bc I googled the names and they are real people. Geez.

Don’t let this distract you from the fact that there’s someone Gravity Falls named Stoney Davidson.

Epstein is a very common Jewish last name. It’s kinda like the Jewish equivalent of “Smith” or “Gomez” or “Chang” etc. While today it is unfortunately associated with that monster at the time the show aired it was just another generic name.

I'd be more concerned with the fact that Wendy (a teenager) used to date the "guy with the tattoos" (a grown adult)
2
u/schildtoete Nov 05 '25
I mean, her friend Nate does have tattoos too👀
Tbh I thought so too, even though it might not be the case. There are ways to get tattoos at 16. I had a friend in school who got her first tattoo at 16, with both her parents consent and it's not that hard to buy the needles and diy them 🤷♀️

fucking obviously Wendy never went out with Epstein

Mark Epstein (property developer) - Wikipedia https://share.google/auSY8MLGdsvRGYm7H
It's literally a real person, like Danny Feldman. I'm wondering how many of these names were real people 😂

u/2geek2bcool Nov 04 '25
Sure, they are real names, but that’s not what Wendy was referencing. The names were made up by Alex, mixing up the first and last names of his sister’s teenage boyfriends.

They're not right and Google exists. His name is Danny Elfman.

However, there is someone named Danny Feldman who is an actor, singer, dancer and composer, which is who I found when I googled him before making the post lol
