He’s everywhere. In bad movies, “entertainment” news programs, Demi Moore (:D). He’s a one-trick pony: he’s Kelso. He’s always gonna be Kelso. I am comforted by the fact that he, like Shore and Sandler, will fade from view. The sooner the better. ---

Well, Ashton Kutcher is actually entertaining as Kelso. Pauly Shore was never entertaining. ---

I submit that we do not need a new Pauly Shore, as we’ve had enough trouble getting rid of the one we already have. ---

Pauly Shore can’t be all bad… He did date that porn star Savannah… but then she killed herself… Never mind ---

It’s cruel to compare anyone to Pauly Shore. How about the new Don Knotts? ---

I actually like Ashton. The show Punk’d is(was?) hillarious and shows that he’s not just a dumb pretty boy, but a rather intelligent average person. ---

Eh, he’s just another B-lister trying to screw his way onto the A-list. It may be fleetingly interesting that it’s a guy doing it instead of a girl, but that’s about it. Another 15 minutes and he’ll be done. And his best buddy P. Diddly or whatever the hell he’s calling himself is an idiot. He claims to have invented the “celeb dating another celeb” thing by dating J. Ho- guess he never heard of Bogey and Bacall, or Tracy and Hepburn. Retard. ---

Side note on Demi: she looked a LOT better BEFORE all the nips & tucks. At least in _About Last Night…_, she was all natural. ---

Would he be Joey Bishop (unfunny comedian) or Peter Lawford (bad actor, of use because of what he s----es). Hmmm… ---

s----es? I think Kutcher’s already done better for himself than Shore. At least he has the potential to escape his typecasting. ---

He’s also claimed that he invented the remix (patently untrue) and I wouldn’t be surprised if he claims similarly that he invented the question mark. ---

I don’t know how he get’s the attention he does. He was Kelso on that 70’s show (not the lead character but one of 6), his movie Just Married fizzled, and Punk’d is just another Candid Camera/TV’s Bloopers and Practical Jokes/Jamie Kennedy Experiment. His fling with Demi is totally a publicity stunt. He has nothing going on and Demi makes an appearance in Charlie’s Angels. Even Bruce can tell it’s a publicity stunt. He stands on the sidelines not even bothered by it almost laughing like “whatever.” ---

Yes, there were remixes before, but when Puffy did his first – the re-creation of Jodeci’s “Come and Talk To Me” – he would change the way the music industry looked at remixes. “That remix alone sold 2.5 million. Before that, people used to give you the vocals and you would put the track underneath it. But we went and did the entire record over. That started a whole new era of remixes,” explains P Diddy. Now, I’ll never be labeled as a fan of Puffy P. Diddy Daddy Pufferton or whatever he’s calling himself these days but I think a distinction should be made between _inventing the remix_ and _inventing the remix **as we know it today** _. I think we all know Dr. Evil’s dad invented the question mark so, c’mon, let’s be real, shall we? ---

I used to work for Pauly Shore’s mom. The whole family is nuts. As well as unentertaining. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ashton-kutcher-the-new-pauly-shore/193690.md?page=2)
