minus-squareCatZoomies@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·22 days agoFair point, was curious if there was a reason beyond what I suspected. I love his comedy, but my opinion of course. Totally okay for you to have your own preference and recognise you don’t find that style funny at all.
minus-squarePerhapsjustsniffit@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·edit-222 days agoMy mom was huge fan. I’m 50 now and still can’t stand his acting after watching him a lot as a kid. You can add Chevy Chase to that list too.
minus-squareEndymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up1·20 days agoYes, but Chevy Chase is also kind of scum as a human being, so it comes through in his comedy. I haven’t heard anything bad about Nielsen off-camera.
minus-squareusernamefactory@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·22 days agoI have to agree, his delivery really doesn’t work for me. It feels like he’s elbowing me in the ribs with every gag. That said, it’s not enough to spoil Airplane for me. Airplane is a masterpiece.

Have you seen Fletch?
Yes, but Chevy Chase is also kind of scum as a human being, so it comes through in his comedy. I haven’t heard anything bad about Nielsen off-camera.
