For the most part I love all of his stuff. When I was younger my friends and I died over his first album(They're all going to laugh at you), mostly "Tollbooth Willy". As I grew older, the album wasn't as funny and his 2nd didn't ammuse me at all. His songs are horrible(With the exception of "A medium pace").

In his movies I like the spaz humor he has and the straight-face insults/sarcasm. I hate that fvckin baby-voice crap he does though. I like all his stuff from Gilmore and up(including Punch Drunk Love). Going Overboard is the worst movie I've ever had the misfortune to see. Billy Madison was pretty bad too, but had a few moments that made it alright. I agree that he needs to try to break the mold he has put himself into and come up with something different. PDL was a start. But IIRC pretty much all his movies since Gilmore have been a success at the BO, so I guess he figures he has a winning formula...why change it?


Still liked Chris Farley better though.... :( :( :(

I have never liked him or his movies. The waterboy was ok because he was not trying to be funny. Someone else who was not funny was Krammer. George was.

WTF? Krammer is great. George isn't bad either, but you must bow down before the genious that is Michael Richards!

Way back when his first cd came out I worshipped the guy. Hilarious.
He has slowly gone downhill since then. Mind you, I thought Anger Management was his funniest work in quite a while.

Don't mess with Kramer. Best of all times.

THAT ALL.

Yes you heard it right. Cosmo owns you.

Oops i meant option 3, but I picked one. He used to be funny. He's utterly worthless now and has been since happy gilmour. His movies are thoroughly boring and unfunny.

His original cd or two were drop dead funny, and then he just went down the tubes.

Kramer ruined Seinfeld for me.

as far as Sandler goes... he was pretty funny on SNL. His movies have all been pretty bad, though.

Ever listen to his CDs?

Not only is Adam Sandler hilarious but so are the singing spongemonkies on the Quizsnos Sub commercials!

Somehow, I think there is a direct coordination between the Spongemonkies and who thinks that Adam Sandler is funny.

Yay, someone agrees with me on both points.

I like the spongemonkies. I don't like Sandler.

Hypothesis disproven.
