the only thing i actually liked him in was forgetting sarah marshall and that was because he wasn`t using his own stuff!
He`s another one of these comics who lets his gob run away with him. They can be great, they can also be excruciatingly embarrassing.
The Yanks are currently dragging him over the coals for a comment he made about Disney`s Osmond Clones, the Jonas Brothers, who wear "Purity" rings. I think they got off lightly....

half true. They had a basic script but re-wrote most of it on the fly during filming, so in fact, it was all his own work.
Personally, I think he`s incredibly intelligent, but as Mr O says above, his mouth drives faster than his brain sometimes. That`s why I haven`t chosen any of the options above

Can`t vote on this one - I`m definitely right in the middle.
I like him most of the time, but I can easily see why many people don`t - and sometimes he just annoys me, as well.

I thought the comment was about giving a retarded cowboy a job & that in the UK we wouldn`t have trusted the same individual with a pair of scissors.
I consider myself an optimist, albeit an optimist with cynical tendencies and a dark side that Lucifer himself would find a little creepy. (Perhaps you've noticed.) You don't normally associate cynicism with an upbeat pov. But I have exactly that combination and will defend it.
When fishermen catch dolphin-friendly tuna, how do they know which tuna are being friendly to dolphins?
I like him, but it took a while for his style to grow on me. Funniest ex-skag head I`ve ever heard at any rate.
