Is JOE GOLDBERG Based Off Of TED BUNDY | Similarities & Differences

[@BrainPilot]

Do you think Joe Goldberg is based off of Ted Bundy? Comment your thoughts below!

[@unknownentity4114]

I think really the only things that are similar are the appearance, but also they are both sociopaths. All the traits you talked about that they shared are ASPD traits. They have the same personality disorder so of course they are similar in that regard.

[@justsomeguywithamustache2901]

The fact that penn badgley looks so similar to ted bundy, is insane, even his hairstyle is similar, they legit casted the best actor possible to play Joe goldberg

[@NileSWPhotography]

Feel like he’s so much different to the book version BUT he’s defo good for the series version

[@BrainPilot]

It is true! I was surprised when I was looking into it more!

[@karensmith8911]

@@NileSWPhotography Yeah in the book, he’s so much more openly misogynistic

[@avairejustdesserts9921]

except they're recasting Joe in season 5. I'm not kidding look it up

[@NileSWPhotography]

@@avairejustdesserts9921 oh yeah I heard about that

[@bl0ated_]

I don't want Penn Badgley to be known for only playing serial killer roles, but he would be brilliant IF he was cast as Ted Bundy. Note, whether that would be morally okay is a different conversation.

[@GoofyEditsYT]

he would be too good, making people love ted bundy like they love joe

[@inoxydable3876]

When he smiled at the end of the season, he made me think of Ted Bundy. He looked like him in that moment.

[@BrainPilot]

That’s true! A real haunting moment!

[@stevestokes1989]

That smile was pure evil .. he accepted his murderous nature

[@jamiedoyle1754]

I'd argue the outlandish of the show like how Joe escapes certain scenarios is somewhat similar to how Bundy escaped prison and got away with murders for so long. But I agree they are completely different.

[@BrainPilot]

That’s fair! Yeah that escape was so bizarre!

[@firstlast9846]

*The main character being attractive changes the audience perception entirely* … it’s like “Drive” with Ryan Gosling.. imagine if the main character wasn’t 6 foot, absolute unit and an attractive man.. he would’ve come across as a total weirdo.

[@yeahthatsher]

He would have been a much better Ted Bundy than Zac Efron

[@BrainPilot]

Yeah that’s true!

[@MJ-py7dm]

I don't necessarily agree, I thought Zack Effron did a great job and I like that Penn had Joe which is significantly different than his previous roles. Both work in their individual roles and I'm cool with that.

Glad you're enjoying the vids!

[@imk3879]

Well joe never did the vile things that Ted did to corpses, I'd argue that I could much rather be alright in a room with Joe than Ted.

[@april4524]

exactly also joe isn’t most likely just gonna kill you unless your in his way id rather be drunk at a party w joe then ted

[@kelseyj.c7828]

Joe doesn't mess with kids, that's one thing.

[@addyznxanyzz3179]

Yeah Ted Bundy seen women and young girls he thought were attractive, did what he wanted, and murdered them. Joe pretty much kills people as a means to an end in terms of him getting caught, a woman he’s involved with, and people that gets in the way of his relationship with those women. Then he’s had a few self defense killings I guess 😂 still got himself in those situations though. It’s a little bit different but it’s just as bad, and can even be looked at as worse, a majority of serial killers say they kill less alive people, so these people mean nothing to them, when you’re out here just taking lives from other people and parts of families over someone you “love” is ridiculously evil.

[@dailyroyy]

@@kelseyj.c7828 you didnt watch season 4 , do you??

[@lostnthought]

@@dailyroyy technically they weren’t kids cause they were in college. Maybe they were late teens 16-19 max

[@brooklynwebb7479]

When I started watching YOU I really enjoyed it but couldnt find a good youtube channel to help me figure out easter eggs or theorys then I found BrainPilot and OMG you are amazing! You explain things so well and your theories make sence!

[@BrainPilot]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoy the videos!

[@a.s.2112]

I'll never understand the assertion that Bundy was handsome or attractive in any way, shape or form. He's just a regular, thin white man.

[@mbrammy7]

TV Crime handsome just means “normal” looking/unmassuming. Looking at a pic of Ted Bundy you wouldn’t (unless it was labelled) immediately go “yep, this guy kills & eats people” because he just looks like a boring normal ass dude

[@nephilim4190]

can you do similarities & differences between Dan Humphrey and Joe Goldberg?

[@eventer9460]

I don’t think they’re similar at all besides the “‘attractive’ charming serial killer” aspect. I’m sure if you compare Joe to a lot of other prolific serial killers you’d see a lot of similarities with many other serial killers. I think Joe is just a mix of many stories of different serial killers/stalkers, including his way to some how Weasle out of any situation. Again, if you look at the most prolific killers out there the way they managed to escape and slide by is insane, you’d think it was a made up story to be dramatic with how many of them some how manage to keep slipping away.

[@barry4649]

He’s based off the “erotic memoirs” of Dennis Reynolds 😂

[@qvxcswqr]

hmm ted bundy didn’t kill guys though, his target was just women. He didn’t even date them or obsess over them like joe does he would just meet them and kill them. Joes targets are actually mostly men, he’s killed 14 guys and 4 girls plus he has this big savior complex because of his mom. He’s definitely different than bundy 🤷🏻‍♀️the only thing they have in common is that they’re both serial killers but in very different ways.

[@tessacanterbury8935]

Your missing someone Joe had been shown to have killed 18 people. 1.His Dad or step dad. 2. Elijah. 3. Benji. 4. Peach. 5. Ron. 6. Beck. 7. Jasper. 8. Henderson. 9. Ryan. 10. Love. 11. Malcolm. 12. Simon. 13. Vic. 14. Jemma. 15. Rhys. 16. Hugo. 17. Tom. 18. Eddie. Altogether 14 Guys and 4 Girls

[@morganbree]

ted was different in that all of his victims were women that looked similarly to his mother, joe is straight up unhinged with his victim pool

[@jlecampana]

Why was Ted Bundy obsessed with his mother?

[@morganbree]

@@jlecampana from what i’ve read, he wasn’t abused or anything, he just resented her because she had three other children and her attention on him wasn’t sufficient in his eyes. i think that’s where a lot of the sexual aspects of his crimes came in, it gave him control over a woman. it’s honestly more disturbing knowing he did that without real preface

[@bleedingcrystal4722]

@@jlecampana his mom was more like a sister to him. There wasn’t much of a maternal bond. Personally I feel that the girl who all his victims look like had far more impact on him

[@moonbatt]

Actually they all resembled a girl he was in love with who dumped him.

[@SadiaIslamShouki]

​@@morganbree I heard his mom got pregnant with him in her teen, his grandparents brought him up as their son so that their daughter can have a normal life, so for years he thought his mother is his sister and grandparents are his parents, he wasn’t that close with ( especially after knowing everything I am sure their relationship became a bit awkward) but after his grandfather his mother took him in, she got married and had children,His mother's husband gave his name " Bundy", Their relationship wasn’t goody good, There was disliking there, but he was never abused or something, they actually gave him quite a good life, He used to study law. It’s just that Ted is messed up.

[@Weasel_dud]

I really like the” you “ episode great work

[@evedavis2641]

Omgggg this has been my theory the whole timeeeeeee😂😂😂

[@BrainPilot]

Haha!

[@kimberly25christinesmith72]

I think they are so different maybe just look similar.

[@annwe6]

I doubt it's a coincidence that Penn Badgley looks so much like Ted Bundy. Or that they both have that similar, superficial, gentlemanly, psychopathic charm. I think the show runners are playing with us as the show develops. They led us into a false sense of Joe Goldberg being not 100% evil. That he sometimes kills for noble reasons and that he cares for children. They encouraged us to trust him and even like him... just like Ted Bundy's IRL victims might have trusted Uncle Ted, and why Ted's wife said yes to marriage while he was being tried for murder. Heck, by the end of season 3 Joe even seemed like a good guy, killing his deranged wife, saving Theo's life, and placing his own son in a safe and loving home. The end of season 4 however strongly hinted that season 5 will show the real Joe. By the end of it, I imagine, none of us will doubt what an evil, twisted person he truly is. Just like Ted Bundy's victims and wife all had to face the horrific truth in the end.

[@xshadowfistx]

Wtf. Why does this make so much sense. Damn I hope this doesn't ruin the show for me

[@tesseractbutterflyeffect5861]

They both have dark curly hair and kill woman. That's where the similarities end.

[@GiselleVega-jo9yq]

And the split personalities they had

[@UPI-rk7sn]

And that they are both charismatic and look good which brings women in

[@Lstss249]

I think Penn Badgley would make a wonderful interpretation of Charles Manson😮 with the long beard and long hair they would be identical

[@justsomerandomweeb2678]

I never fully understood how people consistently considered Ted Bundy as an attractive fellow with such a simplistic appeal, but after watching Joe Goldberg I now understand

[@jonah5548]

I just realized Bundy had longer hair and a beard just like Joe in season 4...

[@allthelittleworms]

they sorta look similar, but yeah, they're not alike at all. joe does not kill people because it brings him sexual pleasure. he sure lacks empathy for some people, but he isn't a thrill seeker or a sadist really. the only thing that really stands out behaviorally is that they can both easily convince others that they're someone else, and obviously, that they are capable of hurting people, but I think that kind of violence can encompass many different types of personalities and mental illnesses. I don't think it makes sense to compare them at all.

[@MadMac101]

You forgot | Similarities and Differences

[@I_Just_Stellar]

I wondered if I was the only one thinking this way

[@leni0210]

Joe is much closer to Jeffrey Dahmer than Ted Bundy though (not his appearance). Both have horrible attachment issues and don't want their victims to leave him, they're loner by choice, have this next door nice guy appearance, and Joe even dismembers some of his his victims to dispose of them. And they both got away with a lot for a very long time.

[@lavonnealexander6936]

I agree with this but I still think Joe is mixer of serial killers

[@jacobpinkney5590]

No. Not even close. Joe has an agenda, a mission to find the one he wasn't an alcoholic, he was socially adaptive, wasn't canabilistic, and Joe doesn't kill for sexual pleasure. Joe is clean, and Dahmer is dirty. Joe is charismatic and charming. Dahmer is anything but. Joe has never used acid. Joe dismembered 2 of his victims. Dahmer dissected them all. Different lanse

[@u8395]

So if Joe Goldberg is based off Ted Bundy, then Love must be based off Aileen Wurnoos then

[@tafmooseidk2472]

If they do ever make a show on ted Bundy or a documentary on him or something similar they need pen badgley, he looks so similar honestly it’s kinda creepy

[@jacobpinkney5590]

Joe has standards. When he killed beck (innocent women), he was morning her, and he missed her. He didn't want to kill her. Ted would have moved on in a matter of seconds to his next victim

[@Campbell5339]

I know

[@_carbon.acid_]

He became Ted Bundy in the end of season 4

[@BrainPilot]

It definitely felt like that!

[@Robust-d7u]

Another similarity, they both have mother issues which leads to their killing patterns

[@jacktilghman9797]

Uh Ted bundy killed women that looked like his first girlfriend, his mom didn’t have anything to do with it.

[@marissaastrait]

idk if penn badgley would want to play another serial killer based on his negative opinion of joe but he'd be a good cast for ted bundy they look a lot alike

[@joenu7s]

joe is way better looking than bundy

Im glad im not the only one who thought he gave off ted bundy vibes

[@111111444444444]

I always thought this.cause his hair is similar😬

[@rekik5889]

[@moonbatt]

So cool! Joe...err...I mean Penn could play a great Ted Bundy! ☺️

[@BrainPilot]

I think he most definitely would!

[@anthonycampos8057]

He's more Jeffrey Dahmer than Ted Bundy.

[@roseanneelliott3817]

I don't think so. Jeffrey Dahmer was into cannibalism. I think he's more Ted Bundy.

[@gamerjojo4591]

Main difference is that Ted objectifies women while Joe sees them as human beings

[@jacktilghman9797]

Uh, he doesn’t really though, because everything he does is an attempt to control the women around him. Not very humane if you ask me, sociopathic and narcissistic.

[@_Senjumommy]

Joe Goldberg actor should play ted bundy

[@Howcaneyelose]

Joe isn’t a serial killer he never approaches these women or men with a desire to kill, Beck- he was ready to be in a relationship with her but once she discovered the box it was impossible to reconcile, Candace- was an accident & he didn’t end up killing her, Love- she literally premeditated killing him and starting growing the drug in their garden, he was prepared for that and killed in self defense, Marianne- he definitely kidnapped her but had intentions of letting her go, Jasper- Self defense, Henderson- accident, etc i don’t think Joe is a serial killer but he ends up killing due to circumstances

[@imk3879]

Candace was not an accident😂

[@jlecampana]

@Jerry Bantamos at the point Joe framed Nadia, he had fully embraced his dark side. His alter ego is a manifestation of Joe’s denial and trauma cooked over a long period of time. Throughout S4 Joe looks for redemption and he finds it in Kate, whom I believe unknowingly set him free.

[@amazingjay3957]

When will everybody who defends Joe understand that because of his obsessiveness and his “I can save you” mindset he ends up killing what he can’t have smh Joe literally never HAS to kill in the show but ends up doing it to save his own ass multiple times. He’s fucking psychotic and his “dark side” is him without being in denial the guy just finally embraced his will to kill instead of denying it

[@Yes_king6973]

Joe is a serial killer

[@bleedingcrystal4722]

Bendy killed on impulse. Impulses he never really tried to stop. Up until this last season Joes kills we’re either covering his ass or protecting someone. He loathed the idea of being a killer so much that he ended up disassociating in order to do it. Will be interesting to see him next season now that he’s embraced it

[@hassan_alb]

I wouldn't say joe is a serial killer

[@leafbando4276]

was joe falling in love with delilah after he almost cut ties with love? someone answer
