Comedies that are basically one long SNL skit can go very wrong, but this one is highly recommended.
Watched this last night and it was great. Watching Norm acting is hilarious.

Probably because it was made in like 1985 and I was 10? All movies had to match up to Star Wars or Indiana Jones.

LOL at you thinking I would assume a coen bro movie back in the 80's would be good. I barely know who the **** they are now.

ok A) didn't realize we were talking about movies a 10yr old would assume to be terrible.

B) barely knowing who arguably two of the best film makers are is LOL at u not me.

I don't think I've ever seen someone troll himself so thoroughly. Bravo!

I mean I see where he's coming from. I remember the first time I saw that I was like 8 and it came on HBO and I remember looking at it because it was such a weird looking movie so my interest was piqued. I ended up watching the entire thing and laughing my ass off. So for a few minutes I remember thinking "wow, this looks bad. Look at that guy's hair."

Also nobody knew who the Coens were in 1987. But yeah claiming you have no idea who they are now is just silly.

Dirty Work is funny, but in a cheap throwaway way. A NormMac standup special is 100 times funnier than Dirty Work.

This promotional interview about Dirty Work is also good. Norm just totally steals this from Bob and the lady is getting wet for Norm's humor. Beware, it was shot with a potato. Bob couldn't possibly be trying any harder to usurp Norm here, and couldn't be failing any harder, either.

What?

Does anyone else think he was trying to usurp Norm in that interview?

patrick thomas says "bob is painful to watch and listen to."

nickster699 adds "Saget learned to let the pro speak, hopefully, after this..."

Dunno if that's the same as usurp. Seems like he is just participating as an interviewee.

NM is obviously way funnier than BS.

Galaxy Quest is a solid nomination. That movie exceeded expectations by a couple orders of magnitude.

A comedy spoof of Star Trek starring Tim Allen?

Galaxy Quest has awesome written all over it.

I don't think it's a contest. But if it was I think this would have you beat.

When we all get together here to talk about movies we like, we're all winners imo!

Gentlemen, you've all worked very hard, and in a way, you're all winners. In another, more accurate way, pwnsall wins.
