Rob Schneider. The SNL guy that had one character, then moved on to being remembered as “The Stapler” on South Park.
What an inspiration.
Edit. Now that I think about it, Schneider is actually being a true comedian through and through here. The golden rule is to always punch up, and Schneider is attempting to do just that.
I started Googling “Rob Schneider” and Google autocompleted “herp de derp” after that.
.
So was Jimmy Saville. What’s your point?
Being really good at being a shithead is not the win you think it is.
I mean, by many measures Alex Jones is more accomplished than me, but I’m very happy to be where I am instead of being Alex Jones.
.
Lets just cut all the way to the end and “Godwin’s law” for this.
Adolph Hitler is “more accomplished” than me, but I have zero desire to accomplish what he did. So I’m not sure “more accomplished” is really a good measure to try to aspire to.
The guy that’s been riding Adam Sandler’s coattails for 34 years? Oh yeah, he’s super accomplished.
I thought you were referring to how much he has to punch up, cuz he’s such a a scumbag(expanding on my joke). But looking at your account history… Wtf why are you even bothering?
Not if he’s an anti vaxxer and anti-trans.
I wouldn’t want his list of accomplishments. And I say that as someone who didn’t end up a major success at standup. If I had to be hateful to be successful, I wouldn’t take that bargain.
Calling him an “actor” is incredibly generous.
Hey, don’t forget smoking lamp!
I’m sorry, was that expensive piece?
Was that expensive piece?
You should never throw a bong, kid. Ever.
Rob Schneider is my pick for second cast member of Home Alone 2 to be convicted of a felony.
What’s up with all these washed up celebrities coming back to the spotlight just to make an ass of themselves?
They were always an ass. That’s the secret.
Nowdays, we just have more visibility into this shit than we did “back in their day”.
Not even necessarily more visibility, go back 20 years and this kind of stuff was popular. Go back another 5 years and anti-gay humour was also still popular. It wasn’t even considered anti-gay because anti-gay was the default option, so it would have just been called “gay jokes”.
Though it makes me wonder what is considered normal today that will be seen as problematic in a decade and popularly opposed in two.
I am curious what anti-vaxx routine he thought was appropriate for a medical event
Rob Schneider peaked literally last century with Deuce Bigalow. As if that were not bad enough…
I believe he peaked at “making copies…” on SNL. Deuce just sped up the downhill roll
But what about all those Adam Sandler movies where he shows up for 20 seconds to say ‘‘you can do it’’?
January 19, 1991. JFC.
He peaked at the first “making copies” sketch. Then they didn’t stop.
Yeah, that was particularly bad habit of SNL back then. They hit upon a mildly amusing joke and then just beat it to death by doing it over and over when it was barely a little funny the first time.
It’s a wonder they didn’t create a “making copies” movie with how they were back then.
On the other hand, sometimes those movies were surprising.
Remember that The Blues Brothers was a one-joke SNL sketch, as was Spinal Tap.
From that era, the Wayne’s World movies weren’t high art, but they were pretty funny.
Wait! Spinal tap wasn’t an SNL sketch.
It was a sketch on something called “The TV Show” according to wiki.
It says they worked on a pilot for The TV Show, which had spinal tap as one of the sketches.
I guess it still started as a sketch so you are right in your point that sometimes these things start as nothing more than that but it wasnt SNL. Although the cast have all been on SNL at some point.
Oh, I’m sorry, you are correct. It was The Folksmen from A Mighty Wind that started as an SNL sketch. Exactly the same people, so you can see why I was confused.
You mean last millennium?
Rob Schneider? You mean that ‘you can do it’ guy from the Adam Sandler movies?
Just about the only good thing he’d done.
He was pretty good in Surf Ninja. Like a lot of people, he’s better when he’s just a supporting character.
guy who looks like a stupid dick is actually a stupid dick. happens every once in a while.
Lmao did they have no idea who he was when they booked him? Did someone hire him as a joke? I don’t get why he was even there.
There are a quite a lot of nursing and medical admin staff in healthcare who are rabidly antivax. At least in America, so I assume it’s at least partially true in Canada to. I wonder if that had something to do with this clearly terrible pairing of organization and washed-up clown ‘comedian’.
Weird coming from a guy who basically played a transgender person in the Hot Chick and also is a stapler.
He was at his best as a carrot.
Imagine starring in a movie where your character is desperately trying to explain to loved ones that they’re trapped in the wrong body and don’t understand how to navigate this gender that they find themselves in and then come out in the other side being transphobic. Like, he’s so media illiterate that he doesn’t empathize with his own characters. So then it was just hateful jokes the whole time, I guess. Dude stopped maturing at like 15.
no mention of what the jokes were at all
They mentioned they were anti-trans and anti-vax. They didn’t repeat them because there is no need to repeat offensive jokes. I’m sure there are Rob Schneider routines on YouTube if you’re curious.
Yes I need to know in order to judge them for myself
Again, I am sure there are Rob Schnieder routines on YouTube if you’re curious and I doubt he made trans and vaccine jokes just this one time. Why do you need to know the specific jokes he made? Why isn’t the fact that the audience booed the organization gave a sincere apology enough evidence for you that his jokes offended a bunch of people and were not appropriate for the venue?
at least citing it somehow would support what the article is saying
Yet again, you can search for him on YouTube. I have no idea why you need to know whether or not you would be offended by his jokes when you weren’t even there.
It’s always the same jokes.
Hire Rob Schneider to do his stand up act. Rob Schneider does his stand up act.
Schneider came out as a clown in 2012.
LOL it’s hilarious that rob fucking schneider is the only “celebrity” they can get to trumpet their bullshit
deleted by creator
i was a tween when he was the “comic relief” in the stallone dredd movie, and rob fucking schneider was the most cringe thing i remember about that shit. and no, nothing else he did was ever funny
He was good as the heel in down periscope…
He’s also been wealthy and famous for a solid two decades, he may be on the C list, but he hasn’t had to worry about money in decades, and he had been living the the Newport culture of rich LA assholes who do a lot of dumb shit because they think being rich means they’re also smart, like being anti-vax, thinking PETA is an innocuous animal rights charity, thinking cancer is an dietary issue, having $10k ‘‘purebred’’ dogs makes you an animal lover, and that cooking your own food is a really creative hobby.
Cooking is a creative hobby. I invented the spanakomosa. It’s spanakopita filling wrapped in samosa dough and deep fried.
I invented the Ethiopian burrito: yemisir wat wrapped up in injera like a burrito. Problem is it only lasts for about three seconds before dissolving into a mess.
If this means that he finally fades into obscurity and we never have to hear from him again, maybe it’s for the greater good.
If yall haven’t watched The Schneidecker Paradox yet, you should.
that was brilliant, thank you
Agreed. Check it out.
“You can do it!” 🙃
