Chase Hofer decided to spice up his day by hiring an Austin Powers impersonator, Richard Halpern, to visit him at home, and what followed was a comedy goldmine. The duo shared an exchange that was dripping with awkward charm, as Halpern strutted in dressed in his signature blue velour suit, complete with thick glasses and a frilly white shirt. While trying to channel the infamous character, Halpern unleashed a string of catchphrases and cringe-worthy jokes that had viewers chuckling at the sheer awkwardness of it all.

In one memorable moment, Halpern’s attempt to relate to Hofer about the Super Bowl led to a hilariously forced joke about soccer. The laughs might have evaporated into the silence of the room, but that only added to the delightfully cringy atmosphere. Hofer recounted that he initially got the idea after hiring a magician, showing that there’s clearly a trend of wanting to inject joy and unpredictability into everyday life. With all the buzz around this funny encounter, one can’t help but wonder—does Austin Powers’humor still resonate with younger audiences today? Groovy, baby!
