Rudy Mancuso Guesses How 671 Fans Responded to a Survey About Him

Who is Rudy's celebrity doppelganger?

Oh god, what a bizarre question.

What's wrong with you guys?

671 of you took a survey about me, which is weird.

This is the official Rudy Mancuso fan survey.

[light cheerful music]

[Interviewer] What do you think the fans are gonna

say about you?

Oh god, who knows.

Cut your hair.

Are you really dating Maia Mitchell?

What's your deal?

[Interviewer] Are you nervous?

I mean it's very silent and there's six people

staring at me, so yeah.

[Interviewer] How old do you think the oldest

person was that took the survey?

89.

[Interviewer] How old do you think the youngest

person was that took the survey?

12.

[Interviewer] What was the average age of a person

that took the survey?

16.

[Interviewer] What do you think the most common age was?

14.

Random numbers, I'm very bad at this kinda stuff.

[Interviewer] Lets see the results.

Whoa, 45, cool.

Youngest person, 10.

Average 21.27.

My sister's 21.27 years old.

Most common age, 24.

Slightly older than I expected,

and the youngest person's very young.

Get off the internet.

[Interviewer] What's the most surprising

thing about these results?

Probably the 21.27 number, just 'cause that's odd

to look at as someones age.

Strangely accurate.

[Interviewer] That's the average.

That's the average, alright fair enough.

You couldn't just do 21?

Inside Rudy's mind.

Oh god, we have to do this one right?

[Interviewer] Yep. Okay, cool.

I'm gonna answer it as who would I like

my doppleganger to be.

What do I get a lot?

I get a lot of Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio,

Michael Fassbender, three people who look nothing like me.

Actually you know, you know who I've gotten, Bruno Mars.

Bruno Mars, I have to go with Bruno Mars,

just cause the hair and the height and the skinny jeans.

[Interviewer] Is that what you think the fans

are gonna say?

I hope so.

This is so eerie.

Oh my lord!

I was right, yes!

Bruno Mars.

Does 49 mean he's 49 years old?

I'd say it looks great.

49 people said Bruno Mars.

I'm very happy I guessed that, I had no idea.

Usually my dad just says that, making fun of me.

Juanpa, 46 people said Juanpa Zurita, my friend.

We played brothers a lot, so I guess that makes sense.

Shawn Mendes, Shawn Mendes is a buddy of mine

and we don't look anything alike, so you guys are lying,

but thank you, it's flattering, he's a handsome young man.

My mom, 20 people said his mom, that's pretty accurate,

I think I look like my mom.

Thanks guys, they're all very handsome young men,

that look nothing like me.

[Interviewer] So out of all of them, who do you think

is the most accurate?

I gotta go with Bruno man, there's a bit of resemblance

with the hair and the incredible talent,

but what else you got for me?

[light cheerful music]

How many instruments can I play?

How many can I actually play, hold on a second.

God, there's so many I'm so eclectic and talented.

Piano, drums, guitar, bass, saxophone,

poorly but I play it.

Realize it's five right?

Piano, drums, guitar, bass, and sax.

[Interviewer] What do you think the fans will say?

I trust my fans, I think they're gonna say five.

Alright, so 101 people said three instruments, okay.

99 people said five, which is the correct answer.

88 people said four and one person said 21,

I wanna meet that person.

The most popular opinion here is three because they probably

only seen me play three instruments, but they're mistaken,

and they're no longer my fans, no I'm just kidding.

Strangely accurate, right, 99 people got it right.

[laughs]

Okay, I learned to play piano when I was five years old,

and I think that's public information.

I've said that before in other interviews,

that were less stressful than this one.

A few years later, I started to pick up drums and guitar,

when you, piano as a foundation instrument, makes it,

raises a facility to adopt other instruments,

but I taught myself, so I was playing everything wrong.

Whoa cool!

132 people responded four, okay, you're wrong.

101 people said five, you're right.

48 people said 12.

One said learned in the womb [laughs]

probably the same person who did the other silly answer.

The correct answer is five and if you did a little research

you could find that, so if you said four or 12,

you didn't do your homework.

This is interesting.

Touch my face a lot, I tap a lot.

[Interviewer] What do you think the fans will say?

Oh, hopefully they say that 'cause in a lot of the stuff

that I put out, a lot of the content I put out,

I'm always doing this or tapping or doing that,

nervous ticks, maybe they'd pick up on that,

if they're smart, if they're not then

they'll say something like smoking, which I don't.

Whoa.

220 people said biting his nails, that's actually a habit,

I don't know if it's the worst one.

30 people said eating, I just do that to survive.

12 people said cracking his knuckles, okay.

And one not preventing forest fires, cool, weird.

Biting his nails, maybe, do I bite my nails

in videos or in interviews?

[Interviewer] I don't think so, I think.

Ooh you're doing it right now.

Oh my god.

220 people might be right [laughs].

Probably JB, probably Justin, Justin Bieber,

because of how it happened, wasn't premeditated at all,

I mean none of them are really.

We were hanging out at the W Hotel and the idea

just randomly came up like it'd be funny

if we did something together.

We rush back, put two couches together, called anybody

with a camera, and we rolled a couple cameras

and we just improvised, so because of the nature

of the lack of premeditation, that's my favorite one.

I think they'll say JB, just because anything JB related,

they, people wanna talk about.

And of course I was right, 209 people.

Popular opinion, Justin Bieber, so handsome.

Alright, 110 people said Kich Bach, probably assume

because Bach and I are close friends, that that would've

been my favorite one, but it wasn't.

Hailee Steinfeld, 77 people, this one was a lot of

fun actually, Hailee was super, super down to earth,

cordial, and such a good sport.

[speaking in foreign language]

Mike Tyson, this one was, honestly this one was some

of the most fun I've ever had in an interview.

70 people said Mike Tyson, it was the most fun to do

because we were in his house and it's Mike Tyson,

he has such an interesting, animated personality.

Mike Tysons my second favorite.

[light cheerful music]

My playlist as in the music I like to listen to?

[Interviewer] Yeah.

This is tough because I get obsessed with certain albums

or EPs or singles and I just play that for like a month.

I don't know man, probably Time by Hans Zimmer.

[Interviewer] Do you think the fans will say that?

I assume not, they'll probably go with something

like Make My Dreams Come True by Hall & Oates.

209 people said 24 Karat Magic, that's actually a good one,

probably like the correlation and the Bruno Mars

and I think maybe I've used the song

in something I've done before.

121 people said Higher Ground, ooh that's a good one.

It's on my playlist, but it's not number one.

55 people said Time After Time [laughs].

That's actually the second most played.

10 people said All Star, what's All Star?

[Interviewer] By Smash Mouth.

By Smash Mouth, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that might be

the number one, they might be right

about that actually, yeah.

These are actually better answers than

I thought I would receive.

Hopes, dreams, and fears.

Spiders, hands down.

[Interviewer] Why is that?

[Interviewer] Why? Yeah.

'Cause they suck.

No disrespect but I, I'm just not a fan with things

that can move quickly and have far more legs than I do,

and spiders fit that description.

Wanna hear a funny story about spiders?

[Interviewer] Absolutely.

Alright, I was going to Australia with my girlfriend

and we were in this beautiful place, huge house,

it was a vacation house and everything's beautiful.

The most like grand view, we went to bed, everyone was

asleep in the house, and I was watching, I stayed up

and I watched Hunt for the Wilderpeople, very inspiring,

and I was having the best night just hanging out

with my self, wathcing this film that

I was late to the party with.

There's these things called huntsman in Australia,

across the TV a massive huntsman spider,

it's bigger than a tarantula.

Now apparently they're not venomous and there's nothing

to worry about when it comes to huntsman,

they're one of the most common household spiders.

No one told me that.

It crawled across the TV, I thought I was trippin',

and it crawls across the TV and I, of course I hate spiders,

I was literally about to book my flight that night,

but I said I can't do that, so I went to the next room

'cause Maias brother was with us, he was visiting the house,

I woke him up and I was like you're from this crazy place,

you're gonna kill, I'm gonna pay you 100 bucks

to kill that spider, and he was like ya alright,

and he like got up and he got a little box and he took it

and he brought it outside, he had a whole thing,

he went back to bed, I went back to bed

and about five minutes later another one

crawls across the TV.

It was one of the worst days of my life.

You can cut this whole part out,

I just wanted to hang out with you guys.

[laughs]

I hate spiders!

[Interviewer] alright, let's see what

the fans say [laughs].

Get that picture away from me, oh man I can't even

look at that, I can't even look at that picture.

275 people said spiders.

80 people said darkness, ooh I kind, I rather like darkness.

80 people said heights, I am afraid of heights,

not my biggest fear, so 80 people

are pretty accurate about that.

Public speaking, 51, not at all, I love it.

I couldn't be more enthused to public speak.

That picture of the spiders is gotta be deleted.

[light cheerful music]

A piano and I think that most of them will get that right.

So I can compose, I'll be stranded and I'll die of hunger

and thirst but to a tune.

Oh what's this?

228 people said musical instrument, yeah!

You're right, although maybe a piano's probably not

the best one because it would de-tune

quickly because of the conditions.

A digital piano, how's that.

A phone, probably what I should have said.

13 people said a plane.

A plane?

Like I'd bring an airplane?

And then what?

Like I'm not a pilot, I don't have a pilot license,

I probably don't have enough fuel to fuel it.

And one person said tequila, that's my second choice.

Die of hunger and thirst either playing instruments

or drunk, or playing instruments drunk, sounds fun.

I don't condone drinking though by the way.

[light cheerful music]

LCD Soundsystem.

[Interviewer] Why? Yeah.

'Cause I like them.

So when I was graduating high school, my friends and I

really loved LCD Soundsystem, we skipped our graduation

to go to an LCD Soundsystem last concert.

That memory, I hold very dear to it

and just the music is interesting

and its a new form of electronic and synth, arrangement,

and orchestration that inspires me a lot.

56 people said Queen, I love Queen.

48 people said the Beatles, I love the Beatles.

30 people said One Direction, I like One Direction.

One person said Bikini Kill, I don't know who that is.

[Interviewer] They're a female punk bad from the 90's

[Interviewer] Yeah? Yeah.

I'll give them a listen, one person.

[laughs]

[Interviewer] Whose career does Rudy hope to emulate?

Good question.

Charlie Chaplin.

He was an artist and a craftsman, a composer, actor,

choreographer, he did drama, comedy, silent films.

He really did it all, it's like the true epitome

of what I consider a fully equipped artisan.

[Interviewer] What do you think the fans will say?

One Direction.

Maybe a Bruno Mars on the showman side, I don't know,

I'm curious.

49 people said Bruno Mars.

You guys really like to correlate me with Bruno Mars, huh.

Justin Bieber, 37 people said Justin Bieber.

I'd say a lot of people would like to emulate

his career, yeah, that's a good choice.

23 people said Adam Sandler, that's interesting,

probably cause I do a lot of comedy stuff, I mean

I'll take any of these careers.

10 people said Donald Glover, he's actually second,

after Chaplin, Donal Glover is another do it all person.

Successful in the TV space, film, music, comedy, yeah.

He covers all grounds, one of the few people who are

successfully doing all those things well,

[beep] can I change my answer.

Transmutations.

Oh Lord.

I'd be a piano man, I'd be a piano because there's darkness,

there's light, and there's an array of notes.

I don't know.

When I'm playing piano, I get lost, I tend to get lost,

when I'm playing and composing and I really feel like

one with the instruments, as cheesy as that,

as weird as that sounds, I feel like

I'm connected to the instrument, so I'd be a piano.

[Interviewer] What do you think the fans will say?

Piano.

Except for that one person, probably say

a sitar or something.

Alright, instrument.

Yeah, I love you guys, 258 people said piano,

it's a nice one too.

Okay, 103 people said guitar, 103 people are wrong.

20 people said xylophone, 20 people are wrong.

And three people said the theremin, oh that's a cool choice,

cool but wrong.

Good job guys, next.

Bossa nova, because it's fun and soothing,

exciting and unpredictable.

I have a feeling they'll say like electronic or funk,

or pop or rock and roll or jazz, booty bounce,

I change my answer to booty bounce.

[Interviewer] Booty bounce? Yeah.

Oh what do we have here?

It's the answers.

231 people said pop, I said pop didn't I.

Oh shi!

220 people said bossa nova, that is, that's really exciting,

I didn't think in a million years they would say that,

that's really cool.

100 people said folk, alright.

Def not.

41 people said classical, also a good choice.

Bossa nova man, 220 people understand.

I won't throw this one.

I'm gonna lose all my fans.

[Interviewer] Which YouTube star would Rudy sacrifice

first in the zombie apocalypse.

Can I do all of them?

[Interviewer] If you want, yeah.

So, I'm the only one left.

I can reinvent the creator platform on YouTube.

It's a very sociopathic answer but I mean

it's a ridiculous question, so there's a ridiculous answer.

Everyone but him!

275 people said everyone but him.

My fans know me, so weird that that's accurate.

Okay, 176 people said Lele Pons.

I have many reasons to want to sacrifice Lele,

but she's also my sister so, I wouldn't do Lele.

60 people said Hannah Stocking, also annoys me sometimes,

but also family, so I can't.

60 people said Juanpa Zurita, again, family.

Yeah, yeah family, I considered him for a second.

Same deal here, you guys just naming everyone in

shots family, 41 people said Anwar Jibawi, yeah I can't

sacrifice these guys, but I guess technically I am

if I'm sacrificing everyone, so all these answers

are technically right.

I can't believe that many people

know that I am self-centered.

What does Rudy mean to you?

[Interviewer] What one word best describes Rudy?

Annoying, interesting, creative, talented, boisterous,

handsome, ugly, annoying.

[Interviewer] What do you think the fans will say?

I would say creative, I hope so, I'd like to think so.

Most popular is short.

That's not true, 132 people said talented.

Thank you, thank you so much, that means a lot.

I guess it's what I'm going for.

66 people said funny, also very flattering.

18 people said spontaneous, I could agree with that.

12 people said sexy [laughs].

Why you laughing?

It's not true?

Well, 132 people said talented and I appreciate that.

My hair, I get a lot of comments about it,

people tend to talk about it more than I'd like,

I don't think it's the most interesting thing about me.

Okay, 209 people are more mature than I am

and said my music, thank you.

121 people said my hair.

55, everything, cool.

10, he's a Pisces, is that interesting that I'm a Pisces?

[Interviewer] Um. Who cares.

I'm sorry.

I think they picked call my mom.

That's probably very entertaining and I have an interesting

relationship rapport with my mom.

209 people said call his mom.

198 people said make up an original song on the spot,

that'd be fun, but I don't feel like it.

100 people said do a fun interpretive dance

wearing tiny hands [laughs].

How do you do, what are tiny hands?

Oh god, okay, no don't even show me.

I'm very happy that's not number one.

88, draw a self portrait, you don't wanna see me draw.

40 people said hop on a pogo stick, no.

Can I have my phone Jen please.

FaceTiming my mom.

[speaking foreign language]

[Rudys Mom] [speaking in foreign language]

[speaking in foreign language]

[Rudys Mom] [speaking in foreign language]

Stop shaking, stop shaking the camera.

[Rudys Mom] I'm not, I swear to god.

You're on camera, this is my mom.

I look horrible no you don't

you look beautiful, I love you.

That's not true, what you doing?

I do, what do you mean it's not true.

I'm doing this thing.

[Rudys Mom] What thing?

Just like a thing they're making me do.

Oh my god, Rudy!

Why you didn't tell me before, I can

Because I'm spontaneous!

[Rudys Mom] Love you Love you.

Ciao.

[laughs]

Alright, there you go.

[laughs]

What does Rudy mean to you?

Rudy to me is really an example of a hardworking

and insanely talented person.

Thank you.

He puts so much effort into his videos and into whatever

he does, he inspires others to work hard as well.

I love Rudy and his content, thank you for all that you do.

Aww, thanks mom.

I knew him since Vine and he honestly blew me away

with his skills, I would always watch the videos he makes

and listen to his music.

He's so creative and funny, I just know he's going to live

a successful life and I'll always be here to support it.

Aw, thank you dad.

He is a kind hearted angel that can lighten up your day.

Thanks sis.

These are some, obviosuly some beautful opinions

that I respect and is really why I do this stuff,

is to inspire people.

If anybody who watches and listens to my material can be

as inspired as these three people, then I think

I'm doing something right.

Yeah, that gives me a lot of fuel to keep going,

so thank you.

I do think my family wrote them but even so.

So to really sit down and read it with

like big bold font, it's nice.

What surprised me the most?

How accurate and intuitive these responses have been.

I'd say most of them aligned with my own responses,

which is more than I hoped for actually, so thanks guys

for being as connected as you can be,

that's really cool actually.

[Interviewer] Did you learn anything about yourself

in the survey?

No.
