How about the Daily Show? He was a big part of the success of the show when Jon Stewart took over. I’m pretty sure he wrote all his own parts as a correspondent. His humor tends to be the exact opposite of what us vapid mouth breathers like. I think you have him confused with Rob Schneider.
Maybe you’re just less attuned to comedy than vapid mouth breathers are.
And like I said, I know it is all opinion. I just hadn’t met anyone in real life who I considered intelligent who found him funny.
I understand what he is trying to go for, but he is so heavy handed!
For the record I don’t think anyone that finds him funny IS a vapid mouth breather, just that there is a high correlation 
For those who don’t like to see characters humiliated, that’s not exactly a ringing endorsement.
Mod Note:
Let’s dial down the tone before people start getting insulted. That’s a general note to everyone in the thread.

Andy is ridiculed when his coworkers find out he’s a virgin (primarily due to the “bags of sand” obvious bluff) out of disbelief, and they also tease him (as all of them tease each other) the next day. However, when Andy runs away in embarrassment, Paul Rudd (yum) follows and they have a more meaningful discussion about why Andy remained a virgin for so long.
Throughout the film, Andy is sympathetic and the audience is intended to be rooting for him. The guys quickly become his friends and are sincerely trying to help him. There is a lot of “humor of awkwardness” and mock insults in the film, but everyone is subjected to it, not just Andy, because that’s just the way these guys relate to one another. Heck, for fun they smack each other with flourescent light tubes when bored at work!
Again, it is waaay more charming and full of heart than one would think, and that’s thanks both to the script and the cast of endearing characters (and actors).
Oh lord I forgot the Jane Lynch character and how awesome she is as she’s trying to seduce Andy with her Guatemalan love song…
(I’m glad I’m not the only one who was icked out by that Rogan/Banks scene, Gyrate! A strange misfire in the film.)
Off topic: Rotten Tomatoes tends to be quite silly in their regard for movies sometimes.
I think the movie, “The 40-Year-Old Virgin” had its moments, but a lot of them were spoiled by previews and things of that nature.
Bruce was hilarious in a small portion, right after he god his powers, but before they started to boomerang. The scene with the toughs and the ass-monkey made me laugh so much my sides hurt. The rest of the film? Not so much…
Anchorman had a few moments, very few.
Perhaps you’re missing that “mouth breathers” isn’t a term for stupid people, it just means someone with a medical condition, thus it is insensitive as hell?
I still think I’ll skip it.
But what about “vapid mouth breathers”? They’re stupid right?
“Is ‘Star Wars’ really a war picture?”
It is a commonly used insult on people with low intelligence.
If I call someone a fat head do I have to apologize to anyone with macrocephaly?
Quit being so damned sensitive.
Repeating Gukumatz’s mod note: everybody tone it down. This is turning into a hijack of the thread.
I’ve found the same thing. There’ll be a movie I didn’t like but it scored well on RT.com so I just know that they were completely wrong somehow. I can’t think of any other reason why a movie that so obviously sucks could score that well.
I know! And sometimes there will be a movie that I really liked, and it scored poorly! That thing must be broken right? :rolleyes:
You are a master of sarcasm.
Really though, I find RT seems to lean towards artistic rather than entertainment - with it applying more loosely to certain genres.
Thought I could joke around a bit in a thread about a comedy…
OBVIOUSLY it is ALL a matter of taste, and the only incorrect response is 42, blue, or a chicken wing. I was more just saying it surprised me that a group of people that usually have the same taste as me find him funny. Perhaps they identify with him?
Morgan Freeman. Bruce Almighty was ok but I can only take so much Carrey.
Steve Carell, though, I don’t know. Stranger than Fiction is the only Carell movies I ever really liked and that might just be because Emma Thompson is in it.
Are you thinking of Will Ferrell?
I am.
puts the wine away and goes to lie down
I thought that Rotten Tomatoes didn’t review movies itself but averaged the published reviews to provide a consensus.
