I know, he’s a fun and funny guy, we’d all like to be his bud, and he’s the good kind of whacky.
But these days I can’t swing a dead 'possum without it slapping against Bill photobombing a wedding, washing someone’s dishes, jumping onstage to join a band for a number, or spraying victory champagne in a clubhouse.
I’m not quite there yet - I still like him - but I fear he is edging very close to never-wanna-see-his-face-again territory.
Are you with me or agin me?
mmm
Yes I loved Bill Murray back in the day but his recent overexposure has annoyed me too, it would be nice if he would stick to the movies for a while, and yes I’ll throw Tom Hanks in there while I’m at it.
To be fair, there was a lot more of Bill Murray with the Cubs winning the World Series than we would normally be getting. He’s a life long Cubs fan and owns (owned) minor league ball clubs so it’s natural that he’d show up during the Cubs run. Now that it’s over, he’ll probably disappear for a while.
Bill Murray’s still good in my book.
Tom Hanks just recently endeared himself to me for the first time in about two decades. I had been well and truly sick of him.
Just earlier this week, there was a viral video that was being shared around social media. Some fan met Tom Hanks and asked if he and Hanks could sing together the “Shimmy Shimmy Ko Ko Bop” song that Hanks’ character and the best friend character sang together in the movie Big.
Even though he’s personally annoyed me for two decades, I’ve heard plenty of stories of him being very gracious with fans so I’ve always given him credit for that. Thus, it was no surprise to me that he’d be friendly and accommodating to this fan. But the fact that he still knew all the words to that song! Singing it with the fan was one of those legendary Fan’s Dream Come True scenarios.
You are going to regret writing all that stuff after Bill Murray dies.
So he’s turning into Jim Belushi?
Let me go ask him. He’s in my garage changing the oil in my car.
I haven’t had a speck of interest in Bill Murray in fifteen years.
Lucky! He’s never ever done a single nice thing for me.
I’ll answer in the words of the Great Cham himself, Dr Johnson: He who is tired of Bill Murray, Sir, is tired of life!
I’ve heard the feeling is mutual. 
Me, not tired of him. His team won the World Series, he is a super-fan and he is famous: He’s going to be on the camera more than Joe Blow Peremensoe.
Not tired of Bill Murray. He’ll have to do a lot more than root for the Cubbies to get me tired of him.
Well, only enough to open up a thread and poop post in it.
For me, the trouble with his current persona is he comes across like his character in Groundhog Day. I don’t get the impression he really* likes* anyone. He’ll show up at your wedding, change your oil 
but he remains separate and aloof as he does it. Like he’s not doing it for the fame, or the adulation, but for some reason I can’t identify.
But maybe if he came and watched a baseball game with me, I’d change my opinion. 
Oh come on. The thread starts with the suggestion that maybe people are sick of the guy. I answered sincerely; for my part I have no ill will for Murray or his collective fans–I just haven’t had a reason to concern myself with him since his role in The Royal Tenenbaums. I was aware that he was hanging around the Cubs Series games.
When he sang at the 7th-inning stretch of Game 3, and channeled Donald Duck, I guess he was trying to be silly but I don’t know if he succeeded.
He gave his spare ticket to WS game 5 to a fan who had just been turned away empty handed at ticket sales. According to this fan, he was pleasantly conversational and even shared his nachos with her. And lest one think there were ulterior motives, the camera showed her several times during the game. She was an average looking middle aged woman.
I have to give him some props for this act of kindness. He knew full well that he would be interacting with this woman throughout the lengthy ballgame, and he still did it. In my opinion, that makes him one of the good guys.
I heard about that, too. That was a great thing he did.
Since I am currently reading The Tao of Bill Murray: Real-Life Stories of Joy, Enlightenment, and Party Crashing I guess I would have to answer, “No!”
This just makes him 100% cooler.
