re: Kevin James falling down throughout his career

Did you just deeply analyze someone farting on a lighter? That movie is funny, but to act as if other comedy actors suck because you don't like them, is ridiculous.

Yes I had to explain it to you. You think I'm saying that simply because it's a fat or a fart joke, then its juvenile and thus not funny. I'm just trying to point out for you that in order for a joke to work, it's got to contrast with something or set up something down the line. That's what great comedies get. It's not simply funny because a guy is fat, a minority, or stupid. You've got to bring it back to reality in some way. Happy Madison films don't generally do that.

And you think fricking Ace Ventura has wit and complexity?

Didn't mention this movie. Not a fan of it really. Don't hate it, but didn't think it was great.

Squirting the ketchup and mustard in their mouths after eating the peppers must be equivalent to Matt Damon and his explanation as to why he shouldn't work for the NSA in good will hunting.

OK, let's put comedies down to the lamest joke they produce. This is not a scene people think of when people think of Dumb and Dumber.
