Oh he definitely was, for his time. He's part of a larger topic that I find interesting though, the way we ritually sacrifice comedians in mainstream comedy movies. Pauly Shore, John Leguizamo, Jim Carey, Adam Sandler, Mike Myers, Sacha Cohen and so on... imo soon to be Will Ferrell. That's a list of people you probably never wanna see another movie from again. Each one was hilarious for a moment of time and we as a society collectively eventually decided, "fuck this guy." Or maybe Hollywood decided that for us. Sacrificial lamb of comedy... I think it's neat and a little scary how quickly we can fall in and out of love with people who (try to) make us laugh.

I think that most of your list had to do with the over-the-top cheesy 90s style not aging very well. It's like the loud clothing patterns, it made sense at the time, but it's kind of odd looking back.

Still, no, Pauly Shore is with Carrot Top on the list of shit that was pretty much shit back then too.

That Ferrell and Kevin Hart flick makes me believe you might be correct.

Some of his old stand-up routines were pretty damn funny, it just didn't translate into funny movies.

Bio dome was hilarious, don't care what you say!

I want to be Cecily's friend now. She's so right about everything.

It's RNF so you'll think I'm trolling but I'm not.
