Is it me or is David Spade seriously overrated?

[fustercluck]

So he's not funny because he's old?

I think he's kinda funny. Wouldn't say he's overrated...or rated at all. Who rates David Spade anyways? - I don't watch his hollywood show, that looks pretty bad.

 

[zanieladie]

He's over rated...although I do like him in the Capital One commericals.

How can he be over-rated? Has he ever even been "rated"?

he was to farley what frat parties are to college...together they were spectacular....

While he did do well in 'just shoot me' ( I fvkign loved it) everything else has been about self-deprecating humor, and in small doses it is okay.

I think he's funny. In what way is he overrated? Is he paid too much for his work?

 

[sandorski]

I rate him over the OP.

 

[theprodigalrebel]

David Spade kicked ass in Just Shoot Me.

definitely not over-rated.

Seriously.

The only time he was funny was during snl when he was the current events insult guy on weekend update. He was just a straight man to Farley, his movies sucked, and just shoot me was terrible.

But he isn't over rated.

he's not overrated. hes' never brought up as a star or uber actor. and he plays that, look at dickie roberts..since i guess he's sorta associated with such b grade stars..well actually those child stars are c grade once they grow up, so he's a b grade playing a c grade. his movies are generally passable as entertainment fluff, he's not pretentious or anything.

and the showbiz show is funny. its like the daily show for hollywood.

 

[0roo0roo]

he hasnt fallen, he never had a huge dramatic role, he was a snl guy that made comedic movies, and so many years on he's still making comedic movies while most of his colleages are well, has beens. sure he's not bill murry, but theres only one bill murry, and theres a whole lotta snl cast that never made it, let alone this long. and well bill murry is the overrated one. he's either playing slightly crazy, or just mr long face. i haven't found him funny in like forever

I like David Spade myself. Joe Dirt (which he also co-wrote) and Tommy Boy rank pretty high on my list. He did a great job on "Don't Shoot Me", and even decent chemistry with James Garner on "8 simple rules". 20 years of credits in show business, and a stand-up career. Looks like a decent resume' to me.

I never did like David Spade.

 

[SirChadwick]

I'd say he's a bit overrated... but his nonchalant sense of humor makes me laugh sometimes.

 

[Geekbabe]

I think he's funny, I rotflmao at his tv commercals for cap 1

 

[Queasy]

Overrated by whom? He's never exactly been lauded with critical acclaim.

 

[Ika]

He used to be a LOT funnier, but I still think he's great. The best part about him, IMO, is his delivery, and that hasn't changed much.

 

[sygyzy]

Do you understand the meaning of the word overrated? That's like saying "Does anyone think homelessness is overrated?"

 

[BooGiMaN]

i think he is funny when he plays the cynical guy like in just shoot me....

 

[Electric Amish]

I find him very funny. As was said above, he's the John Stewart of Hollywood "news".

 

[j00fek]

nope its not you

 

[lokiju]

He's just OK.

His peak was Tommy Boy IMO.

 

[Jeraden]

I really like him. He's great on the Showbiz show.
