comedy club...
“ I don't get this
guy, I will never get this guy, I don't what people find funny about
his movies, this guy is and will always be an enigma to me. He was
pretty good on SNL, but how he turned his average talent into a huge
film career completely escapes me. People have tried to explain why he
is successful and I just don't get it. I could write the same crap he
puts in his films. If you like this guy, don't try to explain it to me,
you won't be able to help me to understand, I am completely stumped. ” - toucansam3

achieve greatness...
“ The epitome of
below average - below average singer, below average looking, and below
average talent. She's just kind of there, adding nothing to anything she
happens to be in. She is simply the product of brilliant Disney
marketers, nothing more. When sticking your tongue out is your go to
move, talent is not the reason you are where you are. ” - toucansam3

“ How he got "Two
and a Half Men" can only be explained by the sale of his soul. They

picked this guy? He'll always be Kelso pretending to be someone else in
every role to me. ” - toucansam3

tell that a movie is going to suck is I check to see if Vin Diesel is in
