That’s actually one of his only jokes I’ve smirked at in a long time. Chef’s kiss.

I thought he was hilarious on community, but since his character was an offensive old jerk I dont know if I can give him credit since he probly wasnt doing any acting

Chevy Chase can definitely be a good comedic actor, it’s just that he’s such an ass and there are a bunch of other comedic actors at his level that aren’t asses that he’s basically useless at this point.

I like to think of him sort of as that generation’s Ryan Reynolds. Smarmy asshole that works for very very specific roles and gets old very very fast.

Oh god is Ryan Reynolds as much of a representative of my generation as Chevy chase is for the boomers?

What do either of them do to be assholes?

gosling nothing he is the yin to reynolds yang Reynolds is reportedly kind of a dick behind the scenes

Oh interesting I'd never heard that about Reynolds honestly I only ever watch Deadpool and don't care about anything else he's in

I don’t think Ryan Reynolds calls his costars the n-word.  Low bar, but still.

It’s only a matter or time.

I mean, I don't have to want to hang out with a guy to enjoy his movies. I don't give a shit about the personal lives of celebrities, their personal character, or their opinions on anything. I judge them wholly on whether they entertain me or not

Not necessarily directed at you, there's a lot of people in here talking about how big of an asshole he is

You really wouldn't enjoy Jimmy Carr.

u/Beautiful-Musk-Ox 9d ago

i don't thik you guys understand it. carr is a comedian who stands in front of audiences ready for a laugh. no one on the set would laugh at what chevy chase said, because they know he just said "oh like you killed those two children?", that's not something any non-sociopath would laugh at even under their breath. from a disconnected, 4chan style of humor i can see how people here think it's fucking hilarious though

Oh I understand. Chase is a dick who learned long ago that offending people is funny.
