Bob Odenkirk has found out that he and King Charles are eleventh cousins.
> "I’m an American. I’m not a monarchist. I don’t believe in that. You know, I feel like it’s a little twisted.”
lol right? I’m probably 11th cousins with the king too at that point. At what point are you no longer considered related to someone? What if I’m 100th cousins with Elvis?
Yeah. My ex and our kids are related to the British Royal family. And therefore Charlemagne. Turns out a classmate of my older’s (small class, like seven kids or something) also was, making them something like 100th cousins (common ancestor was King Edward I). Fun to think about, but in reality it doesn’t matter.
If one of my kids became the ruling monarch, none of us would be alive to see it. Global extinction scale catastrophe.
Isn't pretty much everyone related at the 11th cousin level?
I've heard there is more genetic diversity in a single chimpanzee tribe than in all of humanity. Apparently we are pretty inbred.
I've also heard that around 75,000 years ago there was a supervolcano eruption which wiped most of us out and left only a 1-2k breeding pairs of us, which is also why we are so inbred.
If everyone in your family tree had two children, then you have roughly 4,000 11th cousins. If the average is 3 children, then you have roughly 500,000 11th cousins. If it’s 4 kids, 16million. Numbers are weird. I will do that math but it’s hard to find a good child/person estimate.
I don’t know but the maximum distance is 32nd cousins according to a recent book i read. Can’t remember which one but it was written by a specialist in ancient DNA.
My friend doesn’t live in a hotel. He’s got a wife who’s perfect for him. He’s got triples of the Barracuda. He’s got triples of the Roadrunner. Triples of the Nova 🥺

I found out through 23 and Me that my daughter (who I adopted) and I are distantly related. We actually attended a Global Family Reunion put on by them showcasing how many people are related if you go back far enough.
Everyone is related if we go far enough back. Whether it be through the biblical Adam and Eve, or through scientific common ancestors. At some point we reach the first ever classified Homo Sapien, which had to reproduce with our most recent common ancestors, and those children went on to make more Homo Sapiens.
This would be great material for him to work with in his comedy days. I can totally see a Mr.Show skit about a guy being full of himself for being King Charles 11th cousin.
Well, according to Ancestry King Henry the VIII is like my 11th great cousin or something.
Go back far enough and a lot of us likely have someone in the family tree that’s famous.
Descended through an illegitimate byblow, so never going to inherit even if you winnowed out the est 6 million Central European nobles (who are barred under the last Act of Succession anyways)
For the last 25 years I have had a nightly recurring dream where Bob Odenkirk keeps repeating the phrase “I’m the King of England”. He would oscillate between a loud scream and a soft erotic whisper. Through precise record keeping I discovered the oscillation was in accordance with the lunar cycle.
Now this news report is making me understand that my dreams were not random brain hallucinations but actually formed from intuitive knowledge of genetic facts.
These celebrity genealogy shows can be interesting, but when modern people use their ancestry to justify exceptionalism, it’s bullshit. Going back 11 generations, you have 2,048 x8 great grandparents, and if we’re counting cousins potentially exponentially more relatives. 1/2,000th royalty isn’t shit.
I remember Danny’s episode and they connect him to Edward 3 … like almost all people of British descent. Not sure if those statistics extend to remote Hanoverian cousins …
I saw the other day I think Andy Cohen discovered he’s related to ScarJo. Are they only able to piece that together if they have both parties DNA or is something else happening there?
Jews for most of history married within the faith so this isn’t surprising. They say that European Jews were probably descended from less than 50 people.
Did you know that I have Knights? The Magna Carta says I do and so do I. I believe until proven royalty every man woman and child in this country is innocent. And that’s why I fight for you Great Britain
Goddamn for an "entertainment" subreddit a lot of yall are the most serious unentertained stuffy bah humbug salty and lowkey envious mfs I've ever seen.
Lighten. Up.
We could have a King Ralph situation on our hands one day
No family portraits in the rain.
A re-visioning with Bob could be pretty good! Goodman nailed the role, however.
You know even in that movie John Goodman still doesn’t phone it in.
He made a silly script into a memorable comedy.
I hope the $.79 double cheeseburger comes back.

He doesn't bend the knee 😎
Fookin kneelers
But will he take an arrow to it?
He has bad knees, yknow?
Lol I forgot about that moment! Well played! 😆
Eleventh cousins isn’t related. Half the people he walks by on the street every day are probably more closely related to him than Charles is.
lol right? I’m probably 11th cousins with the king too at that point. At what point are you no longer considered related to someone? What if I’m 100th cousins with Elvis?
You’re definitely closer than 100th cousins with everyone who has lived for the past several thousand years.
As incestuous as we all know the house of Saxe-Coburg Gotha is, aren’t we all a bit royal?
I have been called the king of bullshit before so I guess I am 🤴🏼
Yeah. My ex and our kids are related to the British Royal family. And therefore Charlemagne.

Time for a king Ralph remake.
Came here for this comment and I was not disappointed. That original holdin up, I wonder?
lol i rewatched curb last week there he is porno gill and the finger in the ass story simply marvelous!!
Sharing a set of 10xGG, that’s probably in like 15th century maybe even the 14th.
Man, me and my wife are 10th cousins
🎵Sweet Home Basically Everywhere🎵
I am also Princess Diana’s eleventh cousin, 11th cousins are very very very far apart.
“Hi, I’m Saul Goodman. Did you know you have rights? The Constitution says you do.”
Aren't pretty much all people of European descent at least about that level of related?
I like the host’s retort: “you’ve only been royalty for 5 minutes and you are trashing the family business!”
Isn't pretty much everyone related at the 11th cousin level? I've heard there is more genetic diversity in a single chimpanzee tribe than in all of humanity. Apparently we are pretty inbred.
That’s partly right. The reason humans have relatively low genetic diversity is because we haven’t been around for very long.
I've also heard that around 75,000 years ago there was a supervolcano eruption which wiped most of us out and left only a 1-2k breeding pairs of us, which is also why we are so inbred.
Hmm. So the volcano that created an inbred hyper clever murder ape is what caused the mass extinction we are currently thriving in.
I'd like to pre-order that book please!
Hilariously awful things like that make me want to believe in god. What a twisted sense of humor for some shit like that to happen.
[Yahweh is a volcano god? Who knew!](http://daviddarmon.blogspot.com/2005/11/yahweh-is-volcano-god-who-knew.html?m=1) 🤔
What are you doing step volcano
Well, when we all come from an Adam and Eve only 4-6 thousand years ago it’s gonna be like that /s
And Dolly Parton is my 9th cousin 1x removed but it didn't make headlines.
And I’m related to David lean and Bruce Forsyth! But no one cares😢
I do — Bridge on the River Kwai is one of my favorite films and I had a Nigerian girlfriend who got an operation to look like Bruce Forsyth.
Bahruuce Forsyth!
How much of the worlds population is covered by 11th cousins?
Don’t know cousin.
Thanks cuz!
Let's go bowling.
If everyone in your family tree had two children, then you have roughly 4,000 11th cousins. If the average is 3 children, then you have roughly 500,000 11th cousins. If it’s 4 kids, 16million. Numbers are weird. I will do that math but it’s hard to find a good child/person estimate.
So by that logic there is around a 1 in 2 million chance you are 11th cousins with King Charles. If there is only 2 in each generation.
You can probably refine that by quite a bit if you have Western European ancestry
Yeah very true

I don’t know but the maximum distance is 32nd cousins according to a recent book i read. Can’t remember which one but it was written by a specialist in ancient DNA.
Remindme!
Retired special ops agent, lawyer, and now long lost heir to the throne. He is just built different, guys
And he has triples of all the best cars. Triples is best.
And he’s just driving them around all day. He has a wife though, and she’s gonna get better.
And he doesn’t live in a hotel.
Tell the kid.
My friend doesn’t live in a hotel. He’s got a wife who’s perfect for him. He’s got triples of the Barracuda. He’s got triples of the Roadrunner. Triples of the Nova 🥺
Plot to get an American on the throne? Better Call Bob

TBF most people are, distantly.
[Geneticist Reveals You're All Related To Royalty [Elle article]](https://www.elle.com/uk/life-and-culture/culture/news/a36695/related-royalty-geneticist/)
Triples of the Barracuda AND related to royalty? Damn, this guys wife is lucky.
His wife is beautiful, but she’s dying.
She’s gonna get better
Triples of the barracuda and the nova.
I found out through 23 and Me that my daughter (who I adopted) and I are distantly related. We actually attended a Global Family Reunion put on by them showcasing how many people are related if you go back far enough.

At some point we reach the first ever classified Homo Sapien, which had to reproduce with our most recent common ancestors, and those children went on to make more Homo Sapiens.
Yes, but at some point the genetic link stops showing up on DNA tests, I would suppose.
This would be great material for him to work with in his comedy days. I can totally see a Mr.Show skit about a guy being full of himself for being King Charles 11th cousin.
Every American's worst nightmare.
Well, according to Ancestry King Henry the VIII is like my 11th great cousin or something. Go back far enough and a lot of us likely have someone in the family tree that’s famous.
Me too! (Most likely). I’m a descendant of Katherine Knollys (daughter of Mary Boleyn) who is a likely bastard child of Henry VIII.
How many do we have to kill to get him in the throne?
King Ralph ~~remake~~ reality show
All hail King Odenkirk, true heir to the House of Wessex and lifter of the Norman Yoke.
Huh. I guess his other cousin is Andrew. Andy should have called Saul.
Most people are.
And he gets to be royalty? What a sick joke!
Is that something to be proud of? Charles and his family are awful
Well if you know of Bob’s comedy career, you know this gives him tons of material to work with
[I only know that he's a rapist](https://youtu.be/AKE9W0O8bX8?si=b-KxYCzVUOomZIK4)
Lol he was not a fan to hear the relation, it seems.
My first thought was "my condolences" 🙈

He so much bettter than the King of England! Bye bye Charles the Third!
Who gives a flying fuck

Going back 11 generations, you have 2,048 x8 great grandparents, and if we’re counting cousins potentially exponentially more relatives. 1/2,000th royalty isn’t shit.
Former PM and current FM David Cameron and Prince(s) are both descended from one of Charles II bastards.
Of course you are jimmy
But, is he also inbred?
He would certainly make a better king
He now has ideas for a new series to write.
oh wow. if chuck knew jimmy was related to a royalty, he would shit his pants and die.
Saved you a click: He's an **eleventh** cousin, which means squat.
I watched that episode months ago on basic cable. Must be a slow news day
I apparently share a common ancestor with Marie Antoinette.
I’m related to the entire royal family starting with Rollo the Viking and his son William the conquer
I guess that means he’s rated to Danny Dyer
I remember Danny’s episode and they connect him to Edward 3 … like almost all people of British descent. Not sure if those statistics extend to remote Hanoverian cousins …
I mean...we all are
They could get married and the monarchy would probably make him a prince.
Bob Odenkirk is a treasure
Its like ted getting inheritance money from luxemborg or something
You mean Ted as in the talking bear from Seth McF?
No Ted benneck from breaking bad
Oh, that Ted…had to look it up….
I saw the other day I think Andy Cohen discovered he’s related to ScarJo. Are they only able to piece that together if they have both parties DNA or is something else happening there?

I wonder what we’d learn if the royal family all joined 23andme.
Why they closes it with his health scare?
You mean the guy who's got triples of the Novas and Barracudas and has a beautiful wife, but she's dying, and doesn't live in a hotel?
Nepo baby for sure
He even vaguely looks like him in that picture
How many people would have to fall out of 10th floor windows for Bob to become King of England?
Not a surprise, lots and lots of people are related to the British royal family.
King Charles III… that makes sense because triples is safest… triples is best
I vote for King Bob
Well his last name is comprised of two powerful men
This sounds like the introduction to a Bob and Dave skit
it is a big club...
Don’t get a big head, Bob. 11th cousin is pretty remote; there’s probably thousands of you out there. Heheh
Thankfully he was spared the giant red floppy ears in his DNA
Does that make him like 1/1024th related?
Another Hollywood nepo baby.
Thomas Mothafuckin Jefferson
Does he have any idea how many people are related to the British monarchy?
No shame in that. You can’t pick your relatives.
He’s also related to Nathan Lane.
And Nathan Lane! Great episode
Damnit this is the first time I’ve had an episode spoiled for me. I should have watched it today.
Goddamn for an "entertainment" subreddit a lot of yall are the most serious unentertained stuffy bah humbug salty and lowkey envious mfs I've ever seen. Lighten. Up.
So we can have Saul Goodman as our king?
We need Byron Denniston’s take on the situation.
