Fans ‘Mad’ at People Not Recognizing Chevy Chase as He Yells Out Car Window in Epic Video
Chevy Chase
Chevy Chase is a prolific comedian and actor best known for Saturday Night Live before starring in award-winning films like Foul Play (1978), Caddyshack (1980) and the National Lampoon's Vacation movies. However, many in younger generations wouldn't recognize Chase if he were to roll up in a car and introduce himself to them by name.
In a hilarious clip the actor shared via Instagram on Tuesday, May 7, Chase did just that to folks walking on sidewalks.
"Hi, Chevy Chase... how are you?" he said from the back seat of a vehicle after rolling down the window. When no one acknowledged him, he simply added, "Have a good day," as the car continued on the road.
The comedian (and others in the vehicle) laughed each time as passersby continued walking, completely unfazed when he hit them with, "Hi, Chevy Chase!"
During one interaction, however, his greeting was met with enthusiasm.
Hi! How are you?!" one woman replied as the man with whom she was walking enthusiastically exclaimed, "Hey! Chevy Chase, how are you doing?"
Chase, with perfect comedic timing, declared, "I can't talk," and rolled up his window.

Yet another amusing incident occurred when a man driving a different car recognized the comedian and confessed, "You know, for most of my life, you were my favorite person."
Chase laughed and responded, "What happened?" to which the man replied, "Modern problems."
In the comments, Instagram users reacted to Chase's antics and the fact that many people didn't recognize him. "The 'I can't talk' killed me 😂," one person wrote.
Another person commented, "The way nobody peed themselves and freaked out almost made me mad. Lol. I would've diiiiiiiiied.😍❤️"
Meanwhile, yet another Instagram user wrote, "Imagine just walking down the street minding your business and boom… Chevy Chase appears!!! 😂😂😂😂"
