I believe I’ve made it abundantly clear that I’m an unashamed automotive anthropomorphist. Car fronts look like faces,, and if anyone wants to fight me on that, I’ll be all over you like adorability on a hand-knitted Kirby plush you found on Etsy. Yeah, that’s right. Who’s tough now? Happily, I’m not alone, as I stumbled onto an amazing Twitter thread that started when someone realized comedian Nick Kroll looks kinda like a 2012-ish Volvo XC70, and then snowballed from there.

Here’s the tweet that started it, responded to by Nick Kroll himself:

And, yeah, I can kinda see it. Something about that arrangement of headlights and grille does kinda look like the star of the gleefully pervy animated show about the pains of puberty, .

What’s fun about this tweet is that it started a little celebration of cars that look kinda like celebrities. Like this Chrysler 300 and Jay Z:

...or Jimmy Fallon and this last-gen Prius:

And I guess Vince Vaughn looks a bit like a Durango, sure:

And this guy, in that movie! I guess he does weirdly resemble a GMC work van?

I like this one especially, though I suspect it’d work for anyone making this particular face:

That’s a 2004 Ford Shelby Cobra concept, and it does not look like things are going alright for that car, at all.

I’ve dabbled in :

...though I’d love to see any others you may come up with. In this lone Twitter feed, the original Scion xB was said to resemble both Drew Carrey and John Goodman, so clearly this is hardly an exact science.

Still, it’s fascinating and important work. Please contribute to the research.
