        I want to know everything about why you despise JB. Please be as verbose as possible if you feel up to this request.

          His persona is the opposite of subtle. He plays loud, boorish characters. Those criticisms may also be seen as a strength.

          However, videos of him meeting his fans are nothing like his film persona.

          He represents much of what is wrong, crass and inane in US humor. Sandler, Stiller and him are concentrated vomit.

            You didn’t describe anything that was wrong, crass, or inane. You just compared him to two other comedians and said you don’t like any of them.

            Cool, you don’t have to like them. They’re comedians, not everyone had the same sense of humor. They’re not doing any harm to anyone with their humor style. The three people your listed, specifically, are extremely well known in the business as being some of the most lovely people to work with or for (in Sandlers case).

            You don’t sound cool or discerning with your tastes after that explanation, you just sound pretentious.

              If you like humor based on vulgarity or scatology you are vulgar and not very discerning either. I know that for USians wanting to rise above vulgarity is wrong.

                Don’t go putting words in my mouth.

                And once again, your accusations are more of a confession here. It just makes you sound pretentious. That hasn’t changed.

                That doesn’t make you a bad person or anything, not saying that, but you come across very much like someone at a social gathering I’d want to avoid like a douchecanoe. :)

                  I guess that for you “having fun” in any social gathering involves high doses of alcohol and an insane amount of material destruction, so I’d be very happy of never making your acquaintance, thank you very much.

              Because you can’t criticise something unless you’re an expert? So no one can have an opinion on the Ukraine war if they’re not a general, on wealth inequality if they’re not an economist, etc.

              You make retards look like geniuses.
