Who do you think is the funniest actor to you?

I was having this conversation with my friends earlier and my answer my Danny McBride. To me he is the funniest actor out right now. All his roles are pure gold. I don't think I've seen a movie or tv show with him in it and been disappointed. East bound and down, tropic thunder, Pineapple Express, your highness, this is the end.

So what do you think? Who is the actor that has a direct line to your funny bone?

Keanu Reeves. I recently saw his promo talking about the new movie he wrote and directed called, "Man of Tai Chi." I realized that he's slowly slipping into a deep insanity, and as he does he's becoming more and more like the meme of himself. It's hilarious! And BTW, Danny McBride has never done or said a single thing that has made me laugh, think about laughing, or devote mental energy to anything other than figuring out what it is about him people find amusing. His "overly boorish loudmouth who acts tough and boasts about stuff when really he is just mediocre to below average at the skills he boasts about" character was trite in Foot Fist Way, and lost steam from there.

Danny Mcbride just has a way to say a normal word in his way and it sounds funny.

I was listening to a podcast with Seth Rogan and he was talking about how brilliant Danny Mcbride was on set for "This Is the End".

They all would roll on the ground whenever Danny cussed out Jonah Hill. Also spoke to about how he prepares a certain bit each day to get himself into character..intersting stuff.

To me, he makes Pineapple Express the movie it is.

Danny McBride isn't funny at all to me.

 

I dunno about actor, but there are some actors who have only been in good, funny movies. I really like Seth Rogen, Michael Cera (I know I'll catch flack over that), Jason Segel, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse (McLovin is the single greatest comedic character of the past decade or so, hands down) amongst others.

 

Robert Sheehan in Misfits might be the funniest TV character that I can remember, because the dude just had the right way of acting that just made everything a comic relief, even in serious times.

 

Funniest actor for me HAS to be Russell Brand though. I've only seen him in 2 or 3 movies, but he has the greatest ability to just act strange and so... Him. It just works and I find it hilarious.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
