Yeah, it’s true. Can’t remember which Casino, but it is actually intentional. The owner (who is pictured) is trying to go for humor, even though it comes off very much the opposite. I would always see this Billboard driving on the I-80, which would almost make me crash every time.
If they had a photo for the old womans body and face, why did they need to photoshop the guy’s face in? Most photos of people’s faces actually contain their facial features.
Y’know, it’s possible that they had him put on a wig and a different shirt, then they’re only paying 1 guy to use his likeness and not two. As far as a photo editor being more expensive, you forget that they are gonna need to edit the photo to get rid of the background ANYWAY so putting one picture in front and slightly to the side really isn’t going to take that much more effort or time.
Hey, if that’s who I think it is then that ad is from one of the local casinos right here in the Reno/Sparks area. The owner/operator does odd ads like this now and then; has fun with his promos.
Actually, this ad was trying to get younger gamblers to bring their parents in for the 50+ discounts offer through their players club. He is supposed to be a mamas boy seeing as he “looks so much like her.” The Sands has never been good at advertising, but I can say that this is not a fail and is intentional.
I remember this picture from when I lived in Vegas. It was a bingo ad that some dude plays with his mother, and they looked the same. I didn’t think it could get any more stupid than it was.
Hoos, up above here, got it right. It’s Ferenc Szony, and he’s always doing ads like this, with himself done up as his “mother” and both having fun at the Sands.
The thing about this is this is a terrible’s add. Terribles is a group that owns casinos here in nevada. I living in reno see this sign a lot. The person in the photo is supposed to be a man named John Szony(or some other similar sounding gob shite) or some crep like that, and the woman is supposed to be his mother. He’s actually the owner of the company I guess, and it seems that their media department is piss poor, and arse broke.
Wow, there are actually several people from Reno posted! Impressive! This brought me home for a second, even though I’m on the other side of the globe! Thanks!
i didnt find this funny at all! but i did think the two highly resembled. so i clicked on the comment thingy, and others made it more clear for me to see that this was the same person! lol i fail ._.
FAIL on all of you!!!! you idiots. that ADVERTISMENT is for the Sands hotel and casino in Reno ,Nevada. it’s the same guy playing dual roles. He has a Great sense of humor and i know this because my family knows him.

The guy on the right is. This is an ad for the casino he owns.
yeah, its a casino here in Reno and the guy always has weird ads going, he appears in them all. Weird guy, crappy casino.
Yeah, it’s true. Can’t remember which Casino, but it is actually intentional. The owner (who is pictured) is trying to go for humor, even though it comes off very much the opposite. I would always see this Billboard driving on the I-80, which would almost make me crash every time.
It’s from the Sands Regency on Fourth.
that is hilarious hahhaa
All couples look alike after awhile. I wish Lou was prettier.

You two made my day.
*Snickers*
Now see, if you two had more of a sylvan background you wouldn’t have this problem now.
*Kit-Kat*
I actually rofl’d here.
saving money on cheap ads fail
Saving money where? Extra photo editing work means more money.
If they had a photo for the old womans body and face, why did they need to photoshop the guy’s face in? Most photos of people’s faces actually contain their facial features.
Y’know, it’s possible that they had him put on a wig and a different shirt, then they’re only paying 1 guy to use his likeness and not two. As far as a photo editor being more expensive, you forget that they are gonna need to edit the photo to get rid of the background ANYWAY so putting one picture in front and slightly to the side really isn’t going to take that much more effort or time.

Whoah! That’s the human race for ya, in a thousand years.
Hey, if that’s who I think it is then that ad is from one of the local casinos right here in the Reno/Sparks area. The owner/operator does odd ads like this now and then; has fun with his promos.
You’re correct — this is from the Sands Hotel/Casino in Reno. The guy pictured is the president of the place, and has done ads of this nature before.
Given that the ad is intentional, this is more of a failblog fail than anything else.
Actually, this ad was trying to get younger gamblers to bring their parents in for the 50+ discounts offer through their players club. He is supposed to be a mamas boy seeing as he “looks so much like her.” The Sands has never been good at advertising, but I can say that this is not a fail and is intentional.
it’s the schtick, not a fail…the Sands’ ads have used simliar ‘techniques’ for years
yeah like i saw one where they were saying to bring mom and and i had that same photo
it’s a double failblog fail because of the description header thing.
“They say that the longer people are married, they more they start to look alike”
I wonder if that was intentional too…
If you live with someone long enough I guess you start looking like them
I like the original title better
All old people are burdens
Wait ’till you’re old. betcha 50 mill you won’t think that!
(not accounting for 50 years of inflation)
They both look like they have Alzheimer´s
The grandma is a spy!

gimme some of that monopoly money and i’ll lift my tutu for you-you
OMG! they are my parents, what the hell are they doing here in failblog!
Oh, no… Now I understand why my sister… F***!
He-he-he. Just great fail
Wow this would really cut bullying at school in half.
It’s obvious why they used the guys face twice.
It’s cause they couldn’t get any women to smile.
LOL
50+ maybe don’t see that they r the same
I remember this picture from when I lived in Vegas. It was a bingo ad that some dude plays with his mother, and they looked the same. I didn’t think it could get any more stupid than it was.
I’ve seen a lot of fails on this blog but this is one of the few that made me laugh out loud.
:’D i should buy this
I am grammatically bothered by the fail’s description. The PTB are getting sloppy.
Too much holiday pie.
That’s Ferenc Szony… the CEO of the Sands Regency casino in Reno, NV. He has been doing terrible ads like that for 15+ years.
I wonder, how their kids look like
reminds me to american psycho
incest twins
Fail on the Title Description ” They They “
Is this a before and decades-after-sex-change photo?
Hoos, up above here, got it right. It’s Ferenc Szony, and he’s always doing ads like this, with himself done up as his “mother” and both having fun at the Sands.
I live here, and he’s always done that with his ads.. it’s intentional lol, he even has one where he is a baby
They say that the longer people are married, they more they start to look alike
Title fail…I am going to put that on engrish…wait a minute…
did you no i ate your pizza while you were away?
This is probably the most I’ve laughed at a Fail that’s a picture.
horses dont really exist
The thing about this is this is a terrible’s add. Terribles is a group that owns casinos here in nevada. I living in reno see this sign a lot. The person in the photo is supposed to be a man named John Szony(or some other similar sounding gob shite) or some crep like that, and the woman is supposed to be his mother. He’s actually the owner of the company I guess, and it seems that their media department is piss poor, and arse broke.
He’s the casino owner, and it’s not that they’re broke, it’s just been his gimmick for years. Litterally, years.
TITLE SPELLING FAIL
They used ‘they’ instead of ‘the’… “They say that the longer people are married, THEY more they start to look alike”
Anywho, that’s pretty damn pathetic.
It’s the same freakin’ face. It’s a montage magic!
Even a cave-men can know that.
lol copy and paste both faces (without the hair) in paint, put them beside eachother LMAO
Shoop’d. FailBlog’s spate of fail-fails seems to have no end.
Sophia Petrillo looks quite a bit different without the glasses.
“Is your doppelganger female and over 50?”
“Mom I found my lost siamese!”
Hey they are twins!
That is embarrassing.
When you get that old, everyone around you starts looking the same anyways.
I’ve seen these around town (I’m in nevada)… Its actually intentional, which might be more fail than if it were accidentally done…
It is an ad for the Sands casino in Reno NV, the guy is always doing weird things like this, so not really a fail
WHICH ONE DO I SHOOT?!
I…I can’t kill again…
Wow, there are actually several people from Reno posted! Impressive! This brought me home for a second, even though I’m on the other side of the globe! Thanks!
wow that is pathetic
I can see the pixels!
i didnt find this funny at all! but i did think the two highly resembled. so i clicked on the comment thingy, and others made it more clear for me to see that this was the same person! lol i fail ._.
If you like this, you owe it to yourself to search for “Vern Fonk”, another advertising trailblazer cut from the same cheesecloth.
“Any publicity is good publicity.”
FAIL on all of you!!!! you idiots. that ADVERTISMENT is for the Sands hotel and casino in Reno ,Nevada. it’s the same guy playing dual roles. He has a Great sense of humor and i know this because my family knows him.
lol..maybe its just a pun on the saying that married people always end up looking like each other? But probably not XD
So this is what pete burns looks like now.
Malkovich Malkovich?
At first I was going to say
“that’s a boy and his mom”
and then I realized
That’s a guy and the same guy in a wig!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
such a fail lol
photoshop fail …
Scary — I’ve seen the twins before:
