[kairos12]

Danny McBride
Tim Allen

[John Fante]

1. Adam Sandler

James Woods

[Xipe Totec]

8. +1 nt

[JenniferJuniper]

2. Woody Allen

[Polly Hennessey]

3. Trump.

[PJMcK]

9. Unacceptable answer

Trump is neither an actor nor an entertainer.

Please play by the rules.

(wink)

[Polly Hennessey]

81. Well, he is not a president.

At least I woish he wasn’t. Ok, I’all play by the rules. Julie Roberts - don’t know why.

[Polly Hennessey]

83. Woish?

Whatever was I thinking. Wish, Polly, wish.

[Ptah]

4. The My Pillow Guy

[MaryMagdaline]

5. Rosann Barr

[Kittycow]

18. Plus Patricia Heaton for me.

[MaryMagdaline]

24. Yes, she's worse ... very smug and self-righteous.

Rosann is actually crazy

[GoneOffShore]

66. Both of those ladies.

[safeinOhio]

6. Justin Bieber.

[GoneOffShore]

67. Interestingly, Gordon Lightfoot actually appreciates him

Worlds apart from current teen idol and fellow Canadian Justin Bieber, Lightfoot appreciates Bieber's efforts. "Some time back I listened to his first album and it was good. The production and vocals were better than I had imagined. And I believe he was helped out by the internet. So that's how things have changed over the years. The bottom line is you still have to have a measure of talent or something an audience wants to hear. Maybe that's why I've managed to hang around as long as I have."

[YOHABLO]

7. Many: Gary Sinise, Charlton Heston, Clint Eastwood, Tom Cruise, there's more, just can't think.

[brush]

33. Agreed. And James effin Woods.

[Mr.Bill]

80. Unless it's the scene in Casino

where DeNiro's thugs are beating the shit out of him.

[lunasun]

95. Lester Diamond. He is such a sleeeezeball in that movie . I don't mind watching him get a lesson.

https://m.

[lastlib]

41. But I NEVER pass up a chance to watch his crash scene in 'Midway'!!

LOVE to see Chucky buy it!

[Joanie Baloney]

10. To name 2...

Phil Collins.
Dennis Miller.

For completely different reasons.

-JB

[AJT]

11. Art Mullen

I had to stop watching "Justified" after reading his crazy, threatening tweets. He's nuts.

[AJT]

13. I guess his real name is Nick Searcy.

[hlthe2b]

21. Didn't know about his tweets, but I watched Justified for Timothy Olyphant & Walton Goggins.

the rest of the cast were sort of background...

[TalenaGor]

12. Reba McIntyre

She gets on my nerves so bad....

Of course any of our most hated Republicans...

Ya Adam Sandler....just so over it....

[hlthe2b]

19. she does me too--not the southern accent, but the specific type of speech as though she has

a mouth full of mush...

Drives me insane. Though I think she is a very "nice" person and probably very talented, it just drives me batty to hear her speak. Holly Hunter has a similar accent and speech pattern.

[TalenaGor]

32. lol ya but also for me it's like

That accent is so thick it makes me feel like it's fake.....and how she curls her lips...idk just...gah make it stop! Lol

[Dave Starsky]

52. Her accent is not fake.

She has a very genuine eastern Oklahoma accent, which is where she's from. She just hasn't tried to get rid of it, like so many actors do. Tony Randall was also from Oklahoma, believe it or not.

[TalenaGor]

57. no, I know it's not

I'm just saying that it comes across like that to me, I don't know it's hard to explain..... I definitely don't think she's successfully faked her accent for all these years lol

I don't know... everything about her is Just Nails on a chalkboard to me....

[hlthe2b]

14. James Woods

[Mike Nelson]

15. Andrew Dice Clay...

...Adam Sandler
...Oprah Winfrey (although there are things I admire about her)
...Arnold Schwarzenegger
...Pauley Shore
...Caitlyn Jenner
...The Osmonds
...any and all Kardashians

[smirkymonkey]

45. Pretty good list. I would agree with all of them, except Oprah doesn't

really bother me that much. I pretty much can't stand anyone who is an attention seeking media whore, which is just about everyone these days.

[becca da bakkah]

74. Agree on Adam Sandler & Pauley Shore....

....Actually, all the ones you listed. But I find Oprah especially annoying, the way she has to sing everything, in that fake opera voice.

[The Blue Flower]

16. John Wayne, Adam Sandler

Roseanne Barr

[Va Lefty]

17. Will Ferrell

nothing political. Just don't find him funny.

[jberryhill]

23. Yeah, nice guy

But I can never figure out if he is doing some sort of meta-comedy where it's almost funny how unfunny he is - which makes it kind of funny.

I guess that's what made his W impersonation so spot-on, since they both seem to be missing on one cylinder. But to the extent that his W impersonation was so accurate, and less of a lampoon, then I'd find myself thinking, "you know, if I wanted to watch W, I could just roll video of W". Like, okay, but what's so funny about watching W, really?

I'm sure he's a nice guy, and I think he made me laugh a couple of times. But he's in my "Adam Sandler" category of more likely to make me feel almost embarrassed for him.

Ben Stiller is another one that has done some really GREAT stuff, but most of it makes me cringe. Loved him in the Night At The Museum series and Meet the Parents, but it seems that working with other good talent brings out his best.

I'm sure Will Ferrell is a great guy. I just think he took up the wrong line of work. If I had to chill out for a day with, say, Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler or Ben Stiller, I'd hang out with Ferrell. Of course, people said that about W too, so...

[Va Lefty]

25. comedy is so subjective. I have freinds who think he's hilarious

I don't get it. Maybe it's me.

[jberryhill]

29. Yup

[tazkcmo]

60. It's you!

Just joshin'! I happen to enjoy most of Ferrell's stuff especially his Spartan act on SNL with Sherri O'Terry (probably just butchered the spelling of both their names) but really, I do agree with you. Comedy is very subjective.

[avebury]

20. Tom Cruise nt

[Freddie]

91. Yup

I can’t separate the actor from Scientology. He was in some great movies earlier in his career and now he just does action/explosion films, which leave me cold.
But I like John Travolta, who is also big in the cult. It’s the slimy things Cruise did in his personal life (turned his kids against their mother, has nothing to do with his youngest daughter because she’s a Supressive Person at age 11) because of the cult that I can’t stomach.

[kysrsoze]

22. Andy Garcia and Jared Leto. Cant stand either one.

[TexasBushwhacker]

38. Holy cow! I love Andy Garcia

He was the only good thing about Godfather III.

What is it you don't like about him?

[kysrsoze]

39. He got into the Al Pacino thing where he plays the same character in every movie

Same accent and mannerisms all the time.

[TuxedoKat]

69. I love Andy Garcia too

Have you seen The Man From Elysian Fields? AG was great in that (not a gangster). Mick Jagger is in it too and almost steals the show. There is one scene MJ is in where he blew me away as an actor. Was so surprised at his acting abilities.

[yellowdogintexas]

112. "Steal Big, Steal Little" in which he plays twin brothers

It is a sweet little gem of a film with Holland Taylor as their mother. Try it. You will like it.

Also "The Lost City" which is a powerful film about the Cuban revolution "Just The Ticket"

[TuxedoKat]

113. Thanks

I will definitely check these two out and all the other ones mentioned in this part of the thread -- appreciate the tip!!! Please see the one I mentioned if you haven't already too. AG is great but it is worth it just to see Mick Jagger and Angelica Huston too and her dad John Huston is in the film as well.

[TuxedoKat]

70. Just posted

this below but wanted to make sure you saw it. Did you see AG in The Man from Elysian Fields? He was great in that, as was surpise -- Mick Jagger.

[TexasBushwhacker]

72. I haven't. I will hunt for it.

Did you see City Island? I liked that one a lot too.

[TuxedoKat]

107. No

But thank you -- I will look for that one and the ones others have recommended here. Let me know how you like the one I mentioned with Mick Jagger if you have a chance and I will do the same.

[TexasBushwhacker]

73. Singers are often good actors

They are used to communicating on an emotional level. I'm not a fan of Jon Bongiovi's music, but I think he is a decent actor.

[Freddie]

89. Ricky Martin too

His part in "The Assassination of Gianni Versace" was fairly small but he was very good. Mary J. Blige was Oscar-nominated (best supporting actress) for Mudbound.

[TexasBushwhacker]

97. Cher in Silkwood and Moonstruck!

Mark Wahlberg
IceT
LL Cool J
Harry Connick Jr
Jennifer Lopez (really good in Out of Sight)

[SonofDonald]

84. "Things to do in Denver when you're Dead"

Great flick starring Andy Garcia, cult classic (maybe?), bad guy is.......

Christopher Walken

[TuxedoKat]

108. Sounds good!

I will definitely check it out as I LOVE Christopher Walken too. I appreciate the info -- did you see the one I mentioned with Mick Jagger? The Man from Elysian Fields? I liked it so much I bought a copy of it -- something I rarely do.

[SonofDonald]

109. Not yet but I'll look it up, thanks!

And Things to do in Denver is a dark comedy, but I'm amazed more people don't know about it, a classic cult film if I've ever seen one.

[TuxedoKat]

111. Sometimes

These little known films are some of the best. Some other not well known movies that are pretty good that come to mind are House of Games and Opportunity Knocks, a comedy with Dana Carvey.

[Submariner]

26. Jon Voight

Birther

[rurallib]

27. good choices above - Adam Sandler leaps immediately to mind

[justgamma]

28. Conan O'Brien.

Hate his "aren't I cute and funny shtick" Someone was on there years ago telling a story, had me rolling on the floor. Conan kept interrupting her, they went to commercial when she got to the punchline and boom she was gone when they came back. He had to make it all about him. She never got to finish the story. Can't stand the man.

[KT2000]

30. yes - talks about himself

like you said - always makes it about himself and all it is, is self-deprecation.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

31. Adam Sandler, Roseanne Barr, Sean Penn.

[Luciferous]

34. Jeff Goldblum but only because he creeps me out!

[TuxedoKat]

71. Love Jeff

Did you see him in Earthgirls are Easy? Great movie, very funny too.

[obnoxiousdrunk]

35. Steve Harvey.

[smirkymonkey]

44. Ugh! Especially Family Feud!

I watch the local news when I get home from work and then it goes into "Extra" and then "Family Feud" if I don't change the channel (I am usually multitasking, so not always paying full attention). I can't stand Steve Harvey and his loud, blow-hard voice or the sound of the buzzer and the dings on that show. It's just an assault on all my senses.

[Jake Stern]

36. Though she's technically not an entertainer, Nancy Grace

My disgust with her is so thorough that I have walked out of a friend's house for no other reason than they had her show on the TV and wouldn't change the channel.

Honorable Mentions:

Dr. Phil
Adam Sandler
Oprah Winfrey
Kanye West
Judge Judy
And, before he passed, Billy Mays

[bobbieinok]

37. Nicholas Cage, Tom Cruise

[Rhiannon12866]

40. Trump

[Yavin4]

42. None. I separate the artist from his/her politics.

If they do great work, I will watch it.

[Demovictory9]

62. its not always about politics...some actors are just annoying

[Oneironaut]

43. Sean Penn

[hibbing]

46. Kevin Bacon and Tom Skerritt

Nothing to do with their politics, whatever those are, for some reason I just can't stand either one of them.


Peace

[skypilot]

47. David Spade

*

[Paladin]

48. Susan Sarandon (nt)

[ailsagirl]

49. Actually, many more than those I keep the channel on for

Maybe I should get rid of my cable??

[Dave Starsky]

50. Tim Allen is really the only one.

Because he is very much the asshole that you've always heard he is. A tried-and-true douchebag of the first water. A complete jackass.

There are other entertainers whose work I don't prefer or with whom I don't agree on things political or otherwise, but no one chaps my hide like Tim Allen.

[red dog 1]

58. + 1

[blondebanshee]

51. Chuck Norris

[TheSmarterDog]

64. .

[GP6971]

53. Ben Stein n/t

[lunasun]

96. I couldn't think of anyone but I agree he is definitely a channel changer !

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

103. ++++++++!

Ever since he called Al Gore a "thug" I haven't been able to stand the man. I even wrote Clear Eyes to complain when he was their spokesman. He's not their spokesman anymore.

[Soxfan58]

54. Gilbert Godfrey

[trc]

55. Kevin Costner and Will Farrell

Can't watch Costner even a little. Farrell seems like a nice guy but his character choices are horrible. My worthless two cents.

[sdfernando]

56. Roseann Barr

James Woods
Jon Voight

Susan Sarandon

[red dog 1]

59. Tim Allen, Ray Romano, Gary Busey, Dennis Miller, Carrot Top, Billy Connolly

I'm not too crazy about Adam Sandler either, but I did like him in the corny but funny film,
"You Don't Mess with the Zohan"

[spooky3]

90. Ray Romano was very good in The Big Sick, though. Nt

[TexasBushwhacker]

98. I agree about The Big Sick n/t

[jmowreader]

61. Roseanne, Patricia Heaton, Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler and John Wayne

[GoneOffShore]

65. All but Will Ferrell

[llmart]

63. I agree with the poster who said Nancy Grace.

Her voice annoys me to no end and has for years.


Also, Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil and his frozen-faced wife.

In the past I would have said Matt Lauer, but thankfully we don't have to look at him or hear him any longer!

[MissMillie]

68. Mine are musicians

Bob Seger, Tom Petty (who ironically is a pretty good producer) and George Thoroughgood

[hurl]

75. Toby Keith

ugh

[muntrv]

76. Ted Nugent. I change the channel on my tv

AND radio.

[dhol82]

77. Susan Sarandon.

[jrthin]

78. Everyone listed. Some for politics, some for being annoying.

Last edited Sat Mar 31, 2018, 08:13 PM - Edit history (1)

I don't have the luxury of separating art from politics.

[kairos12]

79. I need to add Jack Black to the original post. Annoying category.

[Squinch]

86. But did you see him in "Bernie?" I always disliked him too. Now I'm a fan after that movie.

[spicysista]

82. Jon Voight, Chuck Norris, Susan Sarandon, Steve Harvey, and Taylor Swift. nt.

[SonofDonald]

85. Don't forget Ron Silver

He has passed away but was a full blown deplorable before it was a word.

Was in " Timecop" with Van Damne who's another turn the channel actor.

[SonofDonald]

87. Dennis Miller the "comedian"

Nuff said

[Squinch]

88. Gwyneth Paltrow.

[Ferrets are Cool]

92. Chuck Fkn Norris

[Doodley]

93. Only one - the guy who does the annoying zyppah smoring ads,

[pansypoo53219]

94. oliver stone.

[Codeine]

99. Usually not actors.

Singers/musicians, on the other hand. . . two seconds of Gwen Stefani is about ten seconds too much, and anything that involves Dave Grohl doing something other than playing drums behind Kurt is unacceptable.

[NNadir]

100. Sylvester Stallone, Mel Gibson, and Bruce Willis.

[radical noodle]

101. Susan Sarandon n/t

[lapfog_1]

102. victoria Jackson

Adam Sandler
Tim Allen
Rosanne Barr
James Woods
Dennis Miller
Mel Gibson ( but I will watch Mad Max )

[Wolf Frankula]

104. Toilet Ted Nugent

and Andrew Dice Clay.

Wolf

[solara]

105. Andrea Mitchell, Chuck Todd,

Roseanne Barr, Mel Gibson, Dr. Phil, Robert Irvine, Hannity, Limbaugh, Santorum, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, KellyAnne Conway, Jeanine Pirro, That pillow guy, Patricia Heaton, Susan Sarandon, James Woods, Dennis Miller, Caitlyn Jenner, Kardashians, Tracy Morgan, Jon Voight, Conan O’Brien, Arsenio Hall. Ted Nugent, Scott Baio, OJ Simpson, Newt Gingrich, Dick Cheney, Kathie Lee Gifford, pretty much anyone on Fox Nooz.


There are far more than I realized and I am probably not finished.. Gahh who knew I was so intolerant?

[barbtries]

106. Will Farell

he's just got nothing for me, though i did sit all the way through old school because my son raved about it.

[dwilso40641]

110. oliver north

[femmocrat]

114. trump, Roseanne, ... and Oprah.

I know, Oprah is not like the others, but I can't stand when she does that yelling/singing voice.
