Jason Alexander and other black holes of entertainment

Colin Quinn just isn’t funny. He’s not smart. He’s not even a good wiseacre. He’s just a grating jerk. And I’d say the same for most of the Tough Crowd regulars, especially DiPaolo and Vos. Just. Not. Funny.

Come on. You’ve got to give** Donald Trump ** credit for being a brilliant marketer. I mean, his ventures are constantly failing (his Taj Mahal in Atlantic City being the latest), yet people continue to believe that he’s an awesome businessman.

I like **Jason Alexander ** and think he’s quite talented. Sorry, Blue.

I still wonder what Tara Reid has done to make her famous.

Then we have all the desperate B-list celebrities who have sold their souls to the Reality Show Machine in hopes of keeping their names in the spotlight another minute or two:

**Ozzy Osbourne ** (sorry, your music sucks and your kids are fucked up)
**Britney Spears and Kevin Federline ** (she should have quit while she was ahead)
**Bobby Brown ** (He dragged his wife, who actually DID have talent, into the gutter with him)
**Farrah Fawcett ** (a walking “Just Say ‘No’” billboard)
**Paris Hilton ** (she’s not hot)

As far as actors have have never had talent (e.g. Melanie Griffith) and it boggles the mind how they manage to get roles, please add:

Bill Pullman
Kevin Costner
Elizabeth Hurley

Michael Ian Black. Everything he’s done would be better if he was’t in it.

Yeah, I really hated Vos. I thought he had a horrible attitude.

I predict that Tom Cruise will never work in this town again.

The 1st thing that popped into my mind…

I agree with this. I can’t explain it, but I just find something about Colin Quinn’s absolute inability to tell a joke charming. He sucks, but he tries so hard, I can’t help rooting for him.

Big second (third) for Julia “Horseteeth” Roberts, and a nom for her male counterpart, Smarmlord Richard Gere. Roberts, at least, has occasionally been able to make a movie in which she did not entirely suck. Gere, on the other hand, is entirely worthless.

And saying that Carrottop is the best prop comedian out there is like saying you caught the good kind of herpes.

(Gee I hardly know any of these people. I have been out of the mainstream for a long time.)

Not entirely safe for work

Many will disagree, but Hal Sparks- there’s just something so totally artificial and smarmy and mugging about him that I look for the “delete” button on the remote control.

Also, he was a producer of I Love the 80s and I Love the 70s, two shows that would have been so much better if they hadn’t just relied on him, Michael Ian Black and Moe Rocca deadpan sarcastic trashing of whatever the topic was (and why in the hell have people on I Love the 70s who couldn’t even remember the decade?).

Until Chicago I would have agreed. He was perfect for that role, though, and did a good job as Billy Flynn.

Weird. She has, like, no aureole.

I don’t really have an opinion on Jason Alexander one way or the other.

My list of ‘black holes’ to avoid at all costs would be:

For annoyance on vast scale across so many categories:
Carrottop

For voices that actually cause houseplants to die (as well as annoying personalities):
Pauly Shore
Bobcat Goldthwait
Fran Drescher

Got a really horrible boob job?

She’s a walking nightmare. I don’t see anything appealing about her.

Pauly Shore has never been funny.

Martin Lawrence did make my guilty pleasure movie Black Knight which is much more entertaining than, say, the English Patient. I can’t say anything else about his work because I’ve never seen it.
Ozzy Osborne isn’t entertaining, he is a mumbling baffoon who has a fucked up family because he is a baffoon.
Melanie Griffith is not only one of the worst actresses of our time, she somehow managed to get the hottie and talented Antonio Banderas to marry her. There is no god.

Andy Dick is just plan unfunny in a creepy kinda way.

Rap Dancing where the Main Singer is in the middle and the rest of the dancers are in triangle formation behind and to the side of her/him. Ok, did you guys and gals miss the memo or are you all doing the same fucking dancing in every video? I hope you all …each and everyone of you…fall into a deep river and are carried to the bottom because of your bling. You talentless skinny booty’d hacks.

Dave Chappelle just not funny. Every time your show has been on and I’ve seen it you are doing Rick James/Cocaine is a helluva drug bit.

Gallagher is the anti-Christ.

Nicole Kidman just plain sucks in the acting department. Yes, she is very pretty in an ice maiden kinda way, but she ruins every movie she is in with her one dimensional acting. She was given her oscar as a present from the rest of Hollywood as an apology for putting up with her dick of an exhusband.
Jada Pinkett Smith I just don’t like you and it is because you were the worst hippo’s voice ever.

I could just watch her all day, with the volume turned down. She might have an annoying voice (exaggerated for the characters she plays), but she is one of the sexiest women on television, IMO. She just kills me.

I’m gay as the proverbial goose and I would agree with that. The way she filled out those outfits was just smokin’. She also has wonderful comic timing.

PS- I even noticed her in Ragtime, when she was onscreen (as Mandy Patinkin’s disgraced wife) for less than a minute.

Well, hon, you need to recalibrate your funny bone. 'Cause Dave is piss-your-pants funny. The Rick James bit is good, but the Prince one is even better. And the night out with Wayne Brady is over the top. Not to mention the Black Klan Leader, the Player Haters and the Oprah sketch.
