1. You couldn't be more wrong

[Orrex]

10. Obviously you don't know me

I can be much, much wronger than that. Just try me!

:hi:

[terrya]

2. I like Jon Lovitz.

Well, obviously we disagree.

[Orrex]

7. Them's fightin' words!

How can I convince you to see the light?!?!?

[terrya]

11. You won't.

I like him in anything. Even in those dopey Subway commercials.

[Orrex]

13. Oh yeah? Well, what about "High School High" then?

I fear for your sanity! Please, tell me that you're kidding?

[Mutley]

16. I think those Subway commercials are hilarious.

Then again, I'm easily amused. :D

[rockymountaindem]

3. "The Critic" was hillarious

And possibly my favorite cartoon series besides "Home Movies". Fie on you!

[JVS]

4. Yes. Bad cess to this hater of the glorious Master Thespian!

[terrya]

6. "The Critic" is a comic gem.

I hope all episodes of this hilarious series is on DVD. Or will be soon.

[Orrex]

8. All by itself, that show is proof that there is no God

Or, if there is, he doesn't watch television.

[JVS]

12. Or proof God doesn't watch FOX

[Orrex]

15. Hey, we may be onto something there

Given:

Fundies watch fox
Fundies think that everything they do is blessed by God
God doesn't watch fox
======================
Therefore:
Fundies are godless and delusional


Of course, we knew that already...

[LSK]

5. are you series?

:shrug:

[XNASA]

9. And so is his wife........

...."Morgan Fairchild."

[Arugula Latte]

14. Yeeeeah, that's right.

He's married to Morgan Fairchild. That's the ticket.

[kwassa]

39. who he has seen ....... naked!

His Morgan Fairchild joke actually revived her career.

[CBHagman]

17. Back when I used to watch SNL...

...I particularly enjoyed the ensemble featuring Nora Dunn, Jan Hooks, Phil Hartman (God rest his soul), and Lovitz. The shows featuring Sigourney Weaver and Christopher Walken stand out in particular.

[matcom]

18. he certainly is no Carrot Top

:D

[Orrex]

19. Exactly my point.

Now there's a comic genius.

Okay, I can't back that up. Carrot Top is pretty awful in his own right.


But god damn, that hippo sig-graphic busts me up every time I see it.

[ghostsofgiants]

20. I loved his brief part in "Happiness"

"You think I don't appreciate art? You think I don't understand fashion? You think I'm not hip? You think I'm pathetic? A nerd? A lard-ass fat-so? You think I'm shit? Well, you're wrong, 'cause I'm champagne, and you're shit. Until the day you die, you, not me, will always be shit."

[Orrex]

21. Holy moley, another Subway commercial just aired on the radio

I'm trying to decide whether or not to puncture my eardrums with my letter opener.

[Vidar]

22. Lovitz & Ackroyd were the best of SNL.

[Orrex]

23. Have I stumbled into Bizarro World?

Tell me, please tell me that you're all kidding.

Nobody actually likes Lovitz. I've seen the polls, and the clearly indicate that 100% of the people living on Earth past, present, and future can't stand him.

[ProfessorGAC]

31. Absolutely FALSE!!!!

His mom liked him once! That was a person in the past that did like him! So you're wrong!

Now, i give you everyone else in the future will hate him. But, you have to admit when you're wrong!
The Professor

[Orrex]

35. Like I'm going to believe YOU, Bizarro

If your mom said "Me am a big fan of Jon Lovitz," that's clearly bizarro-speak for "I hate Jon Lovitz."

You won't trick me with your double-talk, Professor!

[ProfessorGAC]

36. Not My Mom! His Mom!

She told me herself! She said "I don't like John Lovitz, but i did for a week, right after he was born!" See?!?!? You were wrong! You just can't handle the truth!
The Professor

[Orrex]

38. So now you're claiming that Jon Lovitz is your brother?

I mean, if your mom is his mom, after all.

This gets weirder and weirder, Professor Lovitz-Brother.

[ProfessorGAC]

40. Shhhhh! It's A Secret!

Why doncha just blab it to everyone? Now my cover's blown. I hope you're happy! :evilgrin:
The Professor

[Orrex]

42. Sorry--I want people to know who they're dealing with

Now that they know that a Lovitz-kin is in our midst, attitudes may change around here.

[ProfessorGAC]

44. Thanks. That Was Fun

Gotta go now, but thanks for the chuckles.
The Professor

[Orrex]

47. Right back atcha!

:hi::rofl::hi:

[begin_within]

24. He made me laugh in "A League Of Their Own"

[Oeditpus Rex]

25. That's the one I was thinking of

The thing with Lovitz is he usually plays assholes, like in "A League of Their Own." He's good at playing assholes, so we think of him as an asshole.

The best compliment you can give to an actor who plays assholes is, "You were great. I hated you."

If I were a casting director, Lovitz would be in every '40s-era film that needed a wise-cracking asshole.

[Bombero1956]

26. aw come on!!

Lovitz is a funny man. The Master Thespian is a hoot.

[henslee]

46. He is funny but yes... he has taken some super steaming shit roles that

are really all regurgitations of his "liar" character. Wedding Singer and LOTO come to mind. He seems to be well liked by other comics. And I cant really get down on a guy for taking a fat paycheck from Subway.

[KitchenWitch]

45. He was perfect in that role

"Give my wife a little pickle tickle"...

[underpants]

27. "The blonde boy is a LOSER!!"

LOVITZ!! I love Lovitz. He is the good kind of celebrity who we support as a means of public goodwill.

[kwassa]

28. You are so wrong. Jon Lovitz is great. Very talented guy.

He was one of the funniest ever on SNL.

Tommy Flenagle, his devil routine, the "ACTING" routine,

it is a shame he doesn't get better stuff to do. Kinda like Dana Carvey.

[Orrex]

29. Maybe it is a matter of roles, as you suggest

But I find his personality so off-putting, whether in a role or an interview, that I can't get past it. I could tolerate his terrible onscreen antics if he seemed like a great guy, or I could deal with his (to me) unbearable personality if his roles/performances were funnier.

But he's a perfect storm of dreadfulness. Can't stand him in any incarnation I've seen.

[kwassa]

37. no accounting for taste, is there?

There are many popular comedians I can't stand, like Adam Sandler, Jerry Lewis, Andrew Dice Clay.

Others, like Lovitz, are so funny to me that I would laugh at him reading the phonebook.

[Orrex]

41. I can see that

Sandler turned a corner for me with Punch Drunk Love, and I've been more favorably disposed to him ever since.

I've never liked anything about the Dice man, though.

[riona]

32. That SNL episode when he was the

devil in court with Jan ("I am a barfly") Hooks was too funny

[hfojvt]

33. "Mr. Mephistopholes! Mr. Mephistopholes!

You might be ruler of the underworld, but this is my courtroom!"

[graywarrior]

30. I love him cause you hate him....yeah....that's the ticket.....yeeaaah

[hfojvt]

34. I cannot believe this thread is series. I bet you are ...

ACTING!

or lying, yeah, that's the ticket. Your a liar.

[EstimatedProphet]

43. Nonsense

Master Thespian is genius!
