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.

    • I think at some point you top out what God gave you.  He can use leverage via his mechanics to maximize what he has and When he pays attention to it the throws are better.    IMO as a layman a lot of it is what kind of ‘headroom’ you have. The guys who are gifted don’t have to use maximum effort to get good results and stay within themselves but they have it in reserve. They can do an arm throw for substantial distance without max effort.    I think what we may be seeing with these ‘lasers’ is a throw that Bryce puts the max effort into and does his mechanics right and has his base right and it works together.    To get to the payoff here, I think his best velocity throws take dall that whereas  a naturally gifted guy doesn’t need to go full effort to get that same velocity. I have said this three or four times over the years and it never gets picked up on but the accuracy is more consistent with an easier motion and max effort can produce less predictable location. It is a baseball pitcher thing but it applies to throwing a pass too. It isn’t that you can’t make an accurate throw with full effort it is just not as reliably accurate to the same degree. Someone said something about his pro day and that is where I saw it too. He took a little extra step on the deep throws. Some call it a hitch but I don’t see it that way because I don’t see it on shorter throws. He does it trying to get distance. I saw that and just wanted no part of it at 1.1 . That is not tne characteristic of a 1.1 passer.  He should have been at best, late first  I had him second day. Of course I am no one and certainly not a pro evaluator, it is just that he WS so easy to suss out. They must have thought they could fix him. Changing a lifelong throwing motion with the footwork tied into it is not fuging easy. Anyone that had decent success with ‘their’ way and tried to change it to get more, can tell you that.     
    • Sounds like a tad bit of what Josh Allen had. He would make throws that made zero sense die to his desire to make a make. Bryce also turns the ball over believing their is an unlimited shot clock in those moments. Sometimes the best play is to reset for the next one. 
    • See, I think one of his biggest issues is he bails too early.  His instinct has been to bail as soon as defenders get behind him and the pocket starts to close in. Taller QBs hang in there for that extra second or two and throw over guys as the pocket collapses in the QBs lap.  BY runs as soon as this starts to happen, which means routes don’t have time to develop and the field gets cut in half as soon as he runs. This last game I saw some signs of him being willing to hang in the pocket when the defense gets behind him, but that has been rare.
