Haha...lol...snape

I saw this a long time ago and thought how cool it was and how I would never run into someone that was an internet meme :(

UNTIL TODAY

I was at LGA waiting for my flight to Miami and BOOM - Snape Air was helping me with my tickets.

I took a creeper photo at first...cause if he didn't like being the meme, I didn't want to upset him

But I talked with him later and he was totally loving his internet "fame." Specifically, he said it was "cool." We talked for a little while - long enough to know this guy is a cool guy.

I was the last person on the plane because I was talking to him. I made my way down the gangway and he followed to take someone's carry-on on and he started a new convo with me about how when Alan Rickman (guy who plays Snape) was in Die Hard (with short hair), he had short hair too and his friends noticed the similarity.

TL;DR - I ran into Snape Air at LGA and he is awesome.

I'm starting to think Alan Rickaman just does two jobs, but is ashamed of it

I am really curious as to what its like meeting a Snape with an american accent?

13 years ago | Likes 30 Dislikes 0

Really, really confusing. I kept expecting Snape's voice and it was decidedly not.

13 years ago | Likes 25 Dislikes 0

what if it actually is Alan Rickman and he is just too ashamed to admit that he also works at an airport

Are implying there's something shameful about working at an airport? Are ya? HUH? HUUUUH?? /jk

Id have gotten a picture with him looking disapproving.

So this guy just copies Alan Rickman's hairstyles? Would love to have seen him when Galaxy Quest came out.

As someone who regularly flies out of LGA, now I know to be on the lookout. :p

Wait... that's not Alan Rickman?

13 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I took me re-reading some of these comments to figure that out. I was so confused why Alan Rickman was working for American Airlines!

I would so fly Snape Air

Plot twist: Snape faked his own death and is now living peaceful muggle life.

If he was all cool with his meme-fame, you should have gotten a proper photo of him OP!

13 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

I KNOW!!! My g/f wouldn't let me ask him initially because she was all "what if he doesn't like his fame" - hence, the creep-shots. (1/2)

13 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

BUT...I regret not getting a photo with him after realizing he was a cool guy and enjoyed it. I'm sure I'll see him again sometime. (2/2)

13 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

You'll just have to make another trip to Miami and tell him that Imgur sent you! :)

13 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

You probably could have gotten a non-candid photo with him if you just asked, since he's cool and everything.

13 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Yeah...I could have. But my g/f didn't want me to initially since he might not like the fame. I respected her wishes...kinda.

You should have gotten your friends and dressed up as the Potter puppets and sang to him "Snape, Snape, Severus Snape.. (DUMBLEDORE!)"

Who downvotes this? How do I downvote the person who downvotes snapes on a plane

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I like to read this as its grammatically written (not Snape's/Snape is on a plane) but rather multiple little snapes on one plane

Alan Rickman really researches his roles, his new role see's him hijack a plane posing as a flight attendant

It's called Passenger 58 and will also feature Wesley Snape... Um. Snipes now that he's out of prison.

Secretly taking pictures of a man just trying to do his job? You're just as arrogant as your father.

at first I was like "You are one of those guys who takes offense to everything!" then I read the second half and laughed

I find this offensive.

I...I wanted to downvote you...but I got the reference and snickered. UPVOTE.

13 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 1

I'll assume that since I'm still on 1point that others didn't get the reference. Ah well.

13 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

I can do my best to offset it by upvoting this comment. ;-)

I hope he also has Alan Rickman's voice. I wouldn't be able to deal with the disappointment I'd feel if he has, you know, a normal voice.

That definitely is a creeper photo...made me cringe

When is it MY turn to run into an internet celebrity??

13 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

RIGHT? I must say...it took me a good 15 min. before I was like "lol...that guy looks like Snape...OMG" and looked up Air Snape to confirm.

Last night, I got off the plane at Heathrow to see him holding a wheelchair. In my sleep deprived state, all I could do was squeak at him.

13 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Alan Rickman? That's awesome...did he squeak back?

13 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I hope it was the real deal, but it was most likely his alter-ego. I'm pretty sure he thought it was one of the many, many kids who squeaked

Not a lot of people get the chance to meet a meme, you fall in the better percentage.

I am so upset. I just flew to Miami out of Newark. I flew American Airlines too. I've missed my chance.

13 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I fall in the even rarer percentage of having banged someone who later became a meme. Yeahhh that's as awkward as it sounds.

You can't say something like this and then not tell us who!
