I can't say he's never made a funny movie. He's been in a lot of funny movies and he's given some good performances. Overall, however, I find him pretty damn unfunny for a comedic actor. And his brand of humor --squirm comedy--just isn't my cup of tea. It's just uncomfortable to watch. On top of that, he's got so much latent anger lurking just beneath the surface. Even when he's being funny, it just seems like he's pissed off. Not a bad actor, not a bad person, decent comedian, but I'm not a fan.

Even if he hasn't he's still far funnier than Will Farrell. |
