Dude, You're Not Adam Sandler

Dude, You're not Adam SandlerCome on Jimmy Fallon, just because you're some washed up SNL'er with a frightfully unlucky film carreer, and no chance of making anyone laugh, that does NOT give you a license to keep on pretending you're the Adam Sandler mini-me.

Fallon is going to marry Drew Barrymore's business partner of ten years, after meeting on the set of that movie where Jimmy was doing a Sandler role. I'm sure she's a nice lady, whoever she is, but even SHE has to admit that Jimmy's crush on Adam is starting to border on creepy instead of just the usual annoying.

And why Adam Sandler? If you're going to rip someone off all the time, why not choose someone who is funny? Adam and Jimmy both have to laugh at their own jokes, because nobody else will. Can't he just pull a Dennis Leary, and only rip off dead guys?

It doesn't matter if he is staring in romantic comedies with Drew Barrymore, bouncing around the Tonight Show with his Adam Sandler inspired songs, or literally pretending to be Adam Sandler in SNL skits, Fallon is a failure with a stutter and floppy hair.

Anti, you're a dipshit. What the hell is wrong with you?

hey he's some what original...hes a funny guy at times he has his moments. About Adam Sandler hes funny... yeah loud but funny.

So Fallon plagarizes, eh?

He has never ever been even slightly funny, so much so that he makes Sandler look good. At least Sandler's SNL bits made you smile a little. Even if you are stoned Fallon still isn't funny.

He needs to go away. Now.

You didn't steal this idea from The Onion AV Club's The Hater, did you? Now that would be ironic.

Anti-interesting,

You're no Jimmy Fallon. Now please, go back to you Top Ramen.

The "idea" isn't new, and certainly wasn't thought up by the onion. Jimmy Fallon almost failed his audition for Lorn Michaels, and only won him over after doing a... (insert drum roll) Adam Sandler impression.

If anyone truly thinks Fallon is funny, even slightly funny, prove it by siting the alleged funny thing he did.

now back to my regularly scheduled Top Ramen.

Yes, this really belongs on a Los Angeles blog.

i think you meant citing.

instead of playing the word police, can someone show us a time and or place when Fallon did something funny?

no? i didn't think so.

If he ever did something funny (and that's in doubt), it was in New York, not here in LA.

to Anti: only if you can show us how this is relevant to Los Angeles.

#14: the post is about the prettyboy marrying one of the hottest producers in LA, Drew Barrymore's bff and partner, co-owner of Flower Films, Nancy Juvonen.

any other stupid questions?

Why do you drive on a parkway and park on a driveway?

I just wanna tell Anti to keep on truckin'. I miss your blog and I'm glad you're here writing so don't let the trolls slow you down from doing that.

I think Jimmy F. is extremely unfunny and I have been baffled for a long time as to the nature of his popularity.

Since no one else is saying it: he's hot. There.

This dude has never been funny. I really hope he doesn't take over Conan's show. God, even Carson Daly is funnier than him and that guy is made of WOOD (and twine).

I've always hid the "guest" comments but had to see what was up since somehow dusted21 is at #20.

And I can confirm that everybody missed the point. WTF is Drew doing with a poseur like that.

*back to my regularly scheduled reese's pieces*

What does this have to do with Watts?

people in watts think Jimmy Fallon is a douche too.

"Word police"? Your essential thesis is valid but until you stop playing the dumbshit Cletus card, you negate any point you could possibly hope to make. Learn from it, edit your entry, then move on.

on behalf of #14, wow Tony, i'd think that as the editor of LAist, you'd be a little more respectful of people who read this blog and not call their comments stupid.

why are guest comments any less valid than user comments...?

the stray hit-n-run comment from someone who doesnt want to sign up for that one, sole comment is fine.

but to regularly frequent a blog and anonymously negatively snipe from the bushes is not only cowardly, it's rude, and discounts almost everything that is typed. the truth of the matter is if you really believe what you're saying you should have no problem putting your name next to it.

if you have something to hide however, then you will remain a Guest and mostly say negative bullshit.

as for your statement about being respectful of people who read this blog, perhaps you should ask yourself your second question: why are editor's rebuttals any less valid than users? you seem to have no problem with their so called lack of respect but an editor cant return the favor?

if i wanted to disrespect you, id either delete your nonsense, or ignore it. answering in a way that was asked should never surprise you. which is why i answer sweetly to questions that are posed sweetly.

if you have any other questions, register.

thank you.

fallon chuckles during skits WAY too much

how dare you say adam sandler is not funny

to Tony: how do you know it's the same people every time?

IP addresses dont lie

Sandler thinks jokes have to be blue to be funny.What a waste of a big nose.
The guy is flat out crap period.
His movies are lame!
