Andy Dick allegedly kicked off the chain of events that led to Phil Hartman's death and plays up the fact that he's extremely trashy and easy to hate in order to keep the spotlight near him. Pauly Shore is just one of those greasy LA weirdos who made some schlock back in the early 90s yet inspires some serious hate from some people. Spade is like the textbook definition of what you'd expect a prick to look/act like, although allegedly he's pretty decent in real life.

Didn't he give Phil's wife some drugs when she had quit but was still pretty unstable? Something to that effect. Dude needs to be shot.

That's the story, but I don't think there's really hard evidence that he did or that if he did it was the contributing factor for Hartman's wife going off the rails and killing Phil and herself although it certainly would have been a major contributing factor.

Spade was fine. Just a prototypical goon persona that described the world in with dripping cynicism and snarky sarcasm.


Adam Sandler? Now there is a talentless hack that has been riding his peak wave from the late 90s like a used condom washed up on the beach.

What sucks is Adam Sandler was actually making some decent movies when he started taking on serious roles.

Then he realized he can literally make the same movie over and over under his Happy Madison production company and turn profits with no effort, so that's the end of that.

A hack? Indisputably. Talentless? Nah. It's deceptively hard to make money off of the Lowest Common Denominator quite as consistently as Sandler has been able to. He definitely hasn't tried to develop himself at all since Punch Drunk Love and probably never will though.

moose face posted:

Yup. That's the strongest proof I know of that Andy Dick gave drugs to Phil's wife, but even then it's just hearsay about what Dick allegedly said to set Lovitz off.

I want a punching bag to blame for Hartman's death and want to believe Lovitz was enacting righteous street justice way more than most people-- like seriously Hartman and Lovitz are two of my comedy heroes and like most so-called 90s kids their work on The Simpsons/The Critic/SNL was hugely influential on my comedic compass--I also don't want to just go around writing libel about something I really don't know the truth about. For the sake of Hartman's memory we should be a bit better than that.

In the movie Rat Race a series of events lead to Jon Lovitz driving Hitler's car and ends up in the middle of some jewish rally (I think?) screaming incoherently in a way that sounds germanic with a hitler stache. I loving DIED the first time I saw it, tears and everything. Best part of that movie hands down.

That's why Spade needs to be surrounded by people like Farley or the Just Shoot Me Cast to basically vouch for him-- oh we know he's a mean prick but he's our mean prick. Without them or a character like Joe Dirt to hang onto he comes across as mean.

Right, not, not your face, but if I can hit your glasses, can I flick the elastic band at you?' I went 'well, how am I gonna find out if you can hit, you might hit my face', he went 'well why don't you cover up the skin on your face, your nose and everything with some paper...'

True. I listened to quite a bit (of XFM) because I enjoyed Karl, but it gets old, too.

I can't believe the dicksucking everyone gave, er.. mouth service for "Derek." Oh look, he gave Karl a role he can even handle. Oh wow, look, isn't Ricky a lovable little scamp? lovely idea with a lovely plot which makes Gervais' character (hence himself) look like a misunderstood fool. Yeah.

Same poo poo we did with for Spade. Execute them both on televised PPV. We'll get our economies back.

Jesus Christ, what was that Merchant interview from?

And while I didn't mind him in Extras, I think I'm growing tired of his formulaic "loser who gets successful and is unhappy in success and happier in modesty." It was basically the same plot of The Invention of Lying. I did enjoy them, but I think I'm starting to get over it.

His standup's funny though. At least that one show I watched years ago.

Straight from their XFM show circa 2002. You can find most of them on YouTubes if you want more of Karl being an idiot, forced laughter, and ganging up on the new idiot.
