I think I wouldn't like Chevy Chase IRL.
Agreed. I'm picking Bill Murray over Chevy Chase any day of the week. I mean, if I had to choose a team from the big Caddyshack who's the biggest star with the heaviest ball sack debate.

This cumbucket gets to work with Alison Brie. I am so mad right now.

anyway, i think there are other guys who could pull off pierce hawthorne. that show brought him back to being relevant. and then he went all chevy chase on it.
Completely agree. I feel the other characters are very indebted to the actors that play them. For Pierce, you just need another crotchety, old, white guy. Find someone new, who preferably isn't so crotchety in real life.

"One of the things that bothers me about our show is that it is placed in that study room all the time, with the same light, the same color - that's not interesting to see," he said. "It's just joke after joke after joke around that table. It's hard to shoot it all the time in the same way, the same thing."
Yeah, that formula NEVER works...

Tht show is the only funny thing Chase has done in the last 20 years. He should be thankful.

i think he was great in the eighties but was awful in Community. to be fair, it's not all his fault. his lines/jokes were mostly terrible and stale. you can't do deadpan humor without clever writing

Yeah, because if there's one thing that Community certainly isn't is "clever". Jesus, it's a show obsessed with how clever it is.

it is but i never found his lines to be clever.
and don't call me Jesus

Have you ever watched Community? Chevy's character doesn't make jokes. He's the butt of jokes.

probably because he never wanted to use the ones the writers gave him.

I think he plays his character perfectly.

Meh, I think the character would have been written a little differently had the actor been someone that was either easier to work with, more willing to go with the flow, or more adept at improvising.

Unfortunately they are both assholes as far as their personalities are concerned, and both are pretty sleazy at that. Still love their films but as people they kind of suck.

possibly. either way, it doesn't work for me
