So-and-so is the Kenny G of _______

80% of everything is the Kenny G of whatever it represents.

The Aztec was the Kenny G of SUVs.

Geraldo is the Kenny G of investigative journalism.

I can’t find any angle on this that makes sense.

How about this:
America Online is the Kenny G of the Internet. (A bit dated now, but whatever.)

Kenny is the Kenny G of Southpark.

Budweiser: The Kenny G of beer.

Mike Birbiglia is concerned he’s the Kenny G of comedy. I’m sure he’ll be relieved to hear that.

Kenny G was way too popular to make that comparison. Nobody liked the Aztek(sic) The Honda Element fits the Kenny G comparison, though. It’s a fantastic minivan, but a terrible SUV.

(Actually, it’s not that great a minivan, but people seem to like it.)

"Let’s clarify the terms. Kenny G is hated for two reasons:

  1. He is primarily famous and rich for dumbing down a musical genre and claiming to be representative of it.
  2. He is a pretty damn bad musician (i.e., not good technically at his chosen craft)."

Al Gore is rich and famous.
He claimed to have invented the Internet.
He is a pretty damn bad politician

True.

False.

He is widely regarded by his colleagues on both sides as having been an effective senator, certainly not representative of “dumbed down” politics in any regard. He was at least an adequate vice president, even to detractors. He also won the majority of votes nationwide in 2000. “Pretty damn bad” is nothing more than a blindly partisan swipe.

To get back to this thread, Fruit Loops is the Kenny G of breakfast cereals.

Do you believe all the right wing lies you hear?

Al Gore did not claim he “invented” the Internet, nor did he say anything that could reasonably be interpreted that way.

Further, bad politician? Al Gore won the popular vote in 2000.

Your post was the Kenny G of this thread.

Nickleback is the Kenny G of rock music.

Internet Explorer is the Kenny G of web browsers.

Deal or No Deal is the Kenny G of game shows.

Marilyn Manson is the Kenny G of goth/industrial.

“Family Guy” is the Kenny G of animated sitcoms.

Hey! That’s pretty good. I agree.

Settle down Beavis…

Carnival Cruises is the Kenny G of cruise lines.

LAPD is the Kenny G of large police forces.

Chris Dorner is the Kenny G of of rogue cops.
