STEVE CARELL IS JUST NOT THAT FUNNY.ITAOT 3.31.07 |
|
There. I said it. Your jaw probably dropped; you can't believe your eyes. Perhaps you already knew that the phrase "Steve Carell is just not that funny" does NOT exist anywhere on the internet? So says the Google search index, as of the time of this writing. Let me be the first person in the world to deny The Office "funniest show ever" accolades. And, god help me for suggesting: Steve Carell is just not that funny.
I've tried to entice you, the Tacoma public, to write something for this column, but I have failed miserably, time and time again. Last night it was brought to my attention that I may be the only person on Earth with this opinion. At first I was a little frustrated with a small group of friends who seem so mesmerized with this apparent comic genius. Then it occurred to me, this might just be the controversial angle I've been waiting for! The irony here is that I love politically incorrect comedy, dry humor and parodies of work |
situations. I just don't love Steve Carell. Perhaps, because Steve Carell is just not that funny? Perhaps. ITAOT would love to hear from you. She prefers you send email telling her she's crazy and incompetent. |
Thank you! I thought I was the only person on Earth that felt this
way... until I Googled "Steve Carrell is not funny" and found your
editorial. I get so annoyed with people praising The Office when it
does not hold a light up to Gervais's David Brent. I went into 40-
year old Virgin expecting a good time... I didn't laugh once. I
thought I was going crazy. People around we were laughing
hysterically at his chest hair being pulled out. What the heck is so
funny about that? So what, he yelled "Kelly Clarkson!" while it
happened. He's not a natural, and always comes off like he's acting,
or trying too hard to be funny. Will Ferrell popularity I
understand. Steve Carrell... I just don't get it.

I found you because we are watching 'The Office' here at work because
we have to use a clip in an Emmy spot we're working on. I'm in
entertainment advertising. And I agree with you. He just isn't
funny. I've got a friend who IS funny and also thinks this guy
sucks. The only funny thing he ever did was the poster for the movie
'40 Year Old Virgin.' Then the movie sucked.

Thank you thank you thank for your piece about Steve Carell not being
funny.
I can't believe The Office is still on the air. I'm glad Evan AlCrappy
flopped. I like the British version of The Office, because Ricky
Gervais is
funny, and STEVE CARELL IS NOT. I don't understand his hype and acclaim
either. When The Office started it ran about 6 episodes that I watched
because I used to live where it takes place (Scranton, PA). When it
stopped
for a bit I thought it was rightfully cancelled. I was unfortunately
wrong.
He is so predictable and talentless.
THANKS!

Thank god I am not alone. There is someone else out there who sees the light. I actually put 'Steve Carell is not funny' into Google because I was so intrigued(desperate) to see if I was the only comically sane person out there.
I have been insisting to friends, family, acquaintances....that Steve Carell is one of the least funny comedians/comic actors out there.
I just don't get it, and I consider myself a huge movie buff - comedy, drama, all genres. He was the worst thing about 40 Year-Old Virgin.
Steve Carell is lame. I almost want to start a campaign to wake people up to this reality.
Thanks,

SEAWEED, ANYONE?3.12.07 |

AP - As was first reported last month by O&A, the rebirth of Seaweed looks to now be imminent. That's right all you bloggers, get out your pens.. Tacoma's predecessors to the grunge revolution have a date with Bumbershoot and the Capitol Hill Street Fair, both going on this summer. Barring an unforeseen turnaround of unknown origin, these shows are happening, and I, for one, am damn glad to hear it.
A classic Beavis & Butthead episode, a song on the Clerks soundtrack, and shows with Pearl Jam and Green Day are just a part of their impressive resume dating back to the late 80's. I'll never forget the first time I saw the Seaweed video for "Kid Candy" on MTV - for those of you who missed it, the brilliant bit was filmed in Old Western State. This video will stand as the finest footage to ever be mass-produced on location at said looney bin. |
For this reason alone, you should want to catch both of their upcoming shows AP would love to hear from you. He prefers you send email telling him he's way off base. |
