Famous for playing an amusing one-shot character in a sketch on SNL, and then that same character in less and less amusing sketches three more times. Also got into a war of words with Roger Ebert, which ended poorly for Rob (though they did make up later). ---

Was he the “You can do it!” guy from Adam Sandler movies? Those were funny, but his role was not. If that’s him. ---

He was a weak member of _Saturday Night Live_ for a while. His most memorable role there was “the guy in the office that made up annoying nicknames for people”. He went on to do some mediocre-to-bad movies. I think my favorite movie he ever starred in that I watched was _Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo_, which I thought had some funny parts, but was not that great overall. I definitely don’t see a movie because he’s in it. Otherwise, he is mostly known for little cameos in Adam Sandler comedies, I suppose. His daughter is a musician with [one big hit](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0uLI6BnVh6w) that came out ten years ago. (I think she’s really good.) She has a very bad relationship with him because he treated her like shit. In her words, he was absent for most of her life (her parents divorced when she was an infant) and his presence in her life was toxic when he was around. > **[Elle King](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elle_King)** > > Tanner Elle Schneider (born July 3, 1989), known professionally as Elle King, is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. Her musical style is influenced by country, rock, and blues. She signed with RCA Records to release her debut extended play, The Elle King EP (2012); one of its tracks, "Playing for Keeps", became the theme song for VH1's Mob Wives Chicago series. King's debut studio album, Love Stuff (2015), was led by the single "Ex's & Oh's", which peaked within the top ten of the Bill... Schneider is not my favorite comedian, and he never came across as very bright, so his batshit ignorance about health issues is no big shock. > [@bobot](#): > > Was he the “You can do it!” guy from Adam Sandler movies? Yes, and in _Big Daddy_ he paraded around in brownface doing an ethnic stereotype.

[![](https://www.usmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/50-first-dates.jpg?w=1000&quality=86&strip=all) ](https://www.usmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/50-first-dates.jpg?w=1000&quality=86&strip=all) Most of his career post SNL seems to be Sandler throwing him a bone. For more genius moves by this guy, he once claimed that Dylan Mulvaney is guilty of “cultural appropriation” for being transgender. > **[Rob Schneider's comments on Dylan Mulvaney spark uproar](https://www.newsweek.com/rob-schneider-comments-dylan-mulvaney-spark-uproar-1825195)** > > Schneider accused TikTok influencer Mulvaney of gender appropriation, in a post the comedian shared on social media. ---

“Children didn’t get sick”, huh? I guess he’s never walked through a graveyard with burials from the 18th and 19th centuries and read the ages on so many of the headstones. ---

A lot of folks don’t remember just how horrible the measles pandemic was, that ended in the 50s. And there’s a reason why I identify that pandemic by when it ended, rather than when it started. There’s an episode of the Pitt that deals with this issue. A woman’s child is dying from measles and she refuses him a spinal tap because the internet says it carries a risk of paralysis. It is certainly art imitating life. I wanted to drop kick her through a window. ---

He’s actually 1/4 Filipino, which probably explains him getting the roles to begin with, but YMMV on whether it makes those roles any less “brownface.” ---

Earlier this week, the Times of London ran an exclusive interview with former NYC mayor Bill de Blasio in which he criticized Zohran Mamdani’s policies. They then retracted it after de Blasio stated that he had not spoken to the Times and the opinions expressed in the interview were not his. Turns out the Times Interviewer contacted a random guy in Long Island who also happens to be named Bill DeBlasio (spelled as one word rather than two), who said the interviewer never verified whether or not he was the former mayor. > **[Exclusive: British newspaper spoke to the wrong DeBlasio, not an ‘imposter’](https://www.semafor.com/article/10/29/2025/british-newspaper-spoke-to-the-wrong-deblasio-not-an-imposter)** > > How a Long Island vintner, with the help of ChatGPT, prompted a transatlantic journalistic debacle. ---

If some outlet was incompetent enough to mistake me for some major figure for an interview, I’d string them along, too. Actually, I had something somewhat similar happen to me once. I made a comment about a celebrity scandal in a Usenet alt.fan group and an AP reporter emailed me wanting to interview me about my comment. Which I ignored, because I had absolutely no inside knowledge on it and was just stating my opinion. A few days later I’m reading my local paper (it was that long ago) and start reading an article on the subject and find myself being quoted by name in the article that went out to who knows how many papers. They just didn’t wait for my additional profound insight. ---
