Has Chevy Chase ever been funny?

[markot]

I mean, he was ok in community, but everything else I have seen him in he has been terrible... he just is bad >_<

 

[Red]

He used to be great, but sadly hasn't done much to show that with his recent work.

 

[Redford]

 

[Randolph Freelander]

I mean, he was ok in community, but everything else I have seen him in he has been terrible... he just is bad >_<

Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?

 

[Maddocks]

Fletch.

 

[Stet]

What?

Fletch, Fletch 2, Funny Farm, the Vacation movies, years of SNL...

He's a pain in the ass to work with, but he's a funny fuck.

 

[StuBurns]

That Paul Simon video is okay.

 

[markot]

National lampoon is terrible.

He... I would rather watch a Dane Cook movie >_< just something about him.

 

[MormaPope]

Christmas Vacation, Caddy Shack, and Fletch.

The sad but potent Chevy Chaser cocktail.

 

[phaonaut]

The vaction movies are great.

 

[tenchir]

I don't know, but I do know that he is a dick.

 

[wenis]

every year of his fucking life he's been funny.

 

[Sanjuro]

Yes, he was. Go watch some 70s SNL.

 

[meltingparappa]

Spies Like Us?

Three Amigos?

Or were those just funny movies that he happened to be in?

 

[markot]

Yes, he was. Go watch some 70s SNL.

But then I would have to watch SNL.

 

[Slime]

He's always been funny. Seeing him in the promos for Community was the only reason I bothered to tune in.

Fuck, now I want to go watch Fletch again.

 

[Stet]

But then I would have to watch SNL.

SNL hasn't always been shit. They used to have funny people host instead of Katy Perry.

 

[shira]

The biggest crime is billy crystal.

shudder. How does he still get money?

 

[Karsticles]

He is the second most overrated comedian I have been exposed to. The first is Lewis Black. Both of them are awful.

The biggest crime is billy crystal.

shudder. How does he still get money?

City Slickers?

 

[bill0527]

A couple of the vacation movies are good, but the Fletch movies are fuckin hilarious. Maybe you just had to grow up in that decade to get it.

 

[Redford]

Christmas Vacation, Caddy Shack, and Fletch.

The sad but potent Chevy Chaser cocktail.

How could I forget Caddyshack... Although Dangerfield and Ted Knight make that movie what it is.

National lampoon is terrible.

He... I would rather watch a Dane Cook movie >_< just something about him.

Wow.

 

[Sanjuro]

But then I would have to watch SNL.

I would say then you aren't a fan of comedy.

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

SNL hasn't always been shit. They used to have funny people host instead of Katy Perry.

Like Luke Perry.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

This is a terrible thread.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

What?

Fletch, Fletch 2, Funny Farm, the Vacation movies, years of SNL...

He's a pain in the ass to work with, but he's a funny fuck.

Well, one year of SNL.

 

[Stet]

Like Luke Perry.

Or Jason Priestley.

 

[Brian Fellows]

He was pretty awesome in The Three Amigos!

 

[Windu]

But then I would have to watch SNL.

great thread. ask what an actor has been good in, get an answer, refuse to watch said answer.

 

[tha_devil]

I thought he was oke in Chuck, wasnt a funny role though.

 

[Typographenia]

But then I would have to watch SNL.

Early SNL is actually good. I know, it's hard to believe, but SNL was once funny.

 

[markot]

Billy Crystal was great in that... whats its face... you know restaurant orgasm movie.

Also I have the best sense of humour ever.

 

[dr3upmushroom]

Isn't Vacation a pretty popular movie? I like it...

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

Or Jason Priestley.

I miss old SNL.

 

[Sanjuro]

great thread. ask what an actor has been good in, get an answer, refuse to watch said answer.

I gave him the only answer he needed, buuuut nooooOOOooooo.

I thought this was a chevy chase thread. you are terrible at making threads. please stop.

 

[Sanjuro]

You know what Billy Crystal was great in? SNL.

There is a pattern here.

 

[markot]

Was he funny though? Realllllllllllllllllly?

Did he write? as an actor he is terrible and makes me cringe, his delivery is terrible and he has no comedic talents.

I don't even know who you're talking about anymore.

 

[PS3GamerKyle]

ITT people who don't realize that SNL used to be a comedy goldmine.

Yes, Chevy Chase is hilarious in his earlier movies and especially SNL.

 

[HylianTom]

Or Jason Priestley.

Yup. His Johnny Hildo sketch was pretty damn funny.. but then again, he was working with Phil Hartman in that one.

And Billy Crystal was great in SOAP as well. Good, wacky, touching writing there.

Is this a stress test of the new sticky's rules?

 

[MG310]

Now try to explain Paul Reiser.


Carson on Chase "couldn't ad-lib a fart after a baked-bean dinner"

 

[markot]

He is the reason I have never been able to watch Caddy shack.

Every scene I have seen from those national lampoon things have been just painful. Dane Cooking levels of bad.

 

[Count Dookkake]

He was pretty funny when he was saddened and confused by the hatred unleashed at his roast.

 

[Sanjuro]

Is your thing trying to mimic your avatar?

Chase was a writer primarily. At the start of SNL he was surprisingly the most natural on camera during screen tests. So, he was chosen as one of the original Not Ready for Prime-Time Players.

 

[weekend_warrior]

I mean, he was ok in community, but everything else I have seen him in he has been terrible... he just is bad >_<

What the fuck? When you think about Chevy Chase Community is the first thing that comes to mind? How old are you?

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

I don't know why you keep mentioning Dane Cook. Even if you hate Chevy Chase, he has nothing in common with Dane Cook. In fact their styles are diametrically opposed. Do you have the right comedic actor?

 

[markot]

What the fuck? When you think about Chevy Chase Community is the first thing that comes to mind? How old are you?

Its not the first thing that comes to mind. Its the first time he hasnt turned me off a show completely though.

Chevy Chase advertised in the show made me almost skip it, luckily he was a smallllll part.

 

[Ecto311]

Not understanding this post. You ask if someone was good then we all post things he was good in and you talk shit about it. Repeating how it compares to dane cook. Well if that's the case why even make the fuckin post? If you are not open to him at all then why even ask? It's not like we are going to post something to change your mind.
