He’s good for another 108 years. 🙂

The world would be a better place if we would just ask ourselves, “what would Bill Murray do?” before acting.

I really think Joe should have gotten more camera time.  
Why all the close-up reaction shots of **Peremensoe**? Joe’s where all the action is! He’s the one really performing and showing off some skills. Wait… unless Joe was just badly miming all the action… and **Peremensoe** ’s reaction shots were just faked to make it seem like there was something actually happening? This is terribly disillusioning. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to watch that video the same way again.  
☹

Well now, to be fair, he probably hadn’t guessed this was a “blow smoke up a celeb ass” thread, given it asked who was tired of him.

Let me guess, Bill has a movie coming out and it’s really badly written with one of those “throw a dart at a dartboard blind-folded” wtf endings… like GB2 or Scrooged? You should have said so.

We can cheer at cue cards like idiots outside The Today Show too, ya-know…

Well, the Betty White craze seems to have died down, so I’m sure Bill’s internet spotlight will be dimming soon.

Now the question is which older actor will the internet fall in love with in 2017?

My GOD man! He deigned to share food with a commoner, and even to let them accost him with their unclean tongue, this man is a Saint, he needs the Nobel Peace Prize.

I’m just tired of him dropping by for a dip in the pond.

William is too cool, not close to tired of him. The only thing I hold against him is Life Auquatic.

Well, yes. I got tired of him directly after being dragged to the snorefest called ‘Stripes’. Ugly and boring, yes, I am way more than tired of him and frankly am surprised he is still getting applause for being alive, as if he’s some Grand Elder Statesman or something.

Been bored with BM almost from the first. That knowing, but smarmy schtick grew tired nearly 40 years ago.

Hanks may not be a great actor, but he’s the greatest chat show guest since Dagmar.

Seriously I wish I could watch one movie without that motherfucker in it. It could be the most unlikely of movies for him to show up, a remake of a Boxcar Named Desire or something and there he is in the background somewhere, he must have some serious dirt on a lot of studio execs or something.

When it comes to Funny Guys From Chicago, Bill Murray is a living legend. Also, he is genuinely a funny guy with a whacked out on-the-fly sense of humor, not some shmo who memorized some jokes. I don’t see myself ever tiring of Mr. Murray’s generous gifts of levity to the world.

I’m working my way up to it - I’m getting tired of Bill Maher.

Not for me, although I’ve never seen a baseball anything. I saw him in ‘Rock the Kasbah’ (highly underrated, IMO) and he was as good as ever.

I will forever adore the guy if only for his role as Mr. Blume in Rushmore. That’s as good as it gets. He can do all the wacky things he wants.
