Who's your Michael Cera? - Blu-ray Forum

cajmoyper · 06-15-2009, 01:08 AM

I think this guy is so unfunny, I don't understand why anybody hires him. He's the same character in all his movies with the same lame sarcasm that's just got nothing funny to it. And then when you combine him with the producer version of himself, Judd Apatow, you get Superbad, which was aptly named. Who is someone everyone else thinks is funny, but you don't?

but to many people, he's great in THAT role, but i too think he's been typecast...i can't ever see him playing a completely serious role, because he's just that guy...but I think he plays it perfectly, as do studios, which is why he continues to be cast in similar roles.

He plays the nerdy kid quite adequately. I don't find him too irritating in that role.

yep, exactly (way to catch me before the edit

)

I think he was hilarious in Superbad, but yeah, then he kept playing the same role (annoying in Juno) and it's getting kind of old.

And I hate to admit it, Will Ferrell has lost his funny. I absolutely loved Anchorman, and still do. But his new movies haven't offered anything new.

DetroitSportsFan · 06-15-2009, 01:16 AM

Conan O' Brien.

Have you ever watched Arrested Development?

Let me be very clear - Cera's whole persona is based on the puppet Chester from Sifl & Olly

Will Ferrell - no question.
Jim Carrey
Dane Cook
Jack Black
Martin Lawrence
Chris Tucker
Ben Stiller
Drew Barrymore
Cameron Diaz
Robin Williams (he peaked during Mork & Mindy IMO)

Will Ferrell. Ben Stiller.

No kidding right? I'm curious to hear who all of these people actually do like as far as comedians. I'm envisioning a bunch of 70-something year olds who long for the days of George Burns and Bob Hope...

If you read the thread very carefuly you will notice that while some may not like certain comedians, they are actualy liked by others. Not everyone hate's everyone, let's not make broad statements but the thread is all about who each member does not like so of course the posts will be negative in nature.

Steve Carrell - Funny
Sarah Silverman - Funny
Lisa Lampinelli - uber raunchy, but funny
Chris Rock - funny
Eddie Izzard - Funny.
John Stewart - funny.
Fred Armisen - funny.
George Burns - Dead
Bob Hope - Dead

but the last two were still funny.
