How did he become so popular? He was never funny on SNL and his movies are dog shit.
shift click
shit dick
his manchild characters in Happy Gilmore and Billy Maddison were actually charismatic instead of just annoying
He did a good job in Airheads too.
He was funny on snl and his movies were good
His movies were funny when I was a kid.
Chris Farley carried him.
%3D
Nonsensical premise. Sandler doesn’t even get polite laughter. And then… there’s Farley…
As Norm just said, Farley was the naturally funniest out of all them. There was no debate. Farley was a tremendous cast player until the writing went down hill his last two years and they beat the Matt Foley dead horse into the ground.
>As Norm just said, Farley was the naturally funniest out of all them
Iv heard other SNL cast members say the same thing, he just needs that break out role and he would have been bigger than all of them, sadly his last role before he died probably would have been the one to make him a mega star if he had finished it
They would have said whoever died first way back in the 90's was the funniest. He almost did have his big break doing the voice for Shrek.
funniest thing chris farley ever did was be the bus driver in https://youtu.be/6dncx6O5J4U?t=11
the movies were funny to morons, then he started doing serious shit like punch drunk love and uncut gems way later and that won us pseuds over
Uncut jahms
JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
i watched a documentary about this, apparently he was good at surrounding himself with more talented people and conscripting them into his service to the point where their careers depended wholly on his whims
israelite Magick in a nutshell.
I like his kinos with Jennifer Aniston and there are A LOT of kinos with Jennifer Aniston
Sandman has always been hilarious OP must have something wrong with his medulla oblongata.
He used to crack me up on Remote Control
Nepo israelite
There's a reason his company is named Happy Madison
Should have been Big Nicky Water Daddy
He predicted his success
He was the first popular Gen-X comedian in the 90s, and his brand of moronation really spoke to millennial kids coming of each in the mid 90s when Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore came out
No he wasn't but ok
His fanbase is closer to millennial not gen x. gen x was eddie murphy
Not really. Adam Sandler hit big in the mid-'90s. Millennials were a bit too young at that point. I am gen X and Sandler was a definite fixture in comedy in my youth. Watched him transition from SNL to movies, along with Farley. Even the oldest millennials at that point were only like 10-12 years old.
he got his start as the stud boy on mtv's remote control 1987-89
depends, most people watching his era of SNL (90-95) were likely Gen-X with a couple millennials that were watching SNL at super young ages. people who first knew him from the movies by the mid-late 90s though were the millennials who then likely started seeing his era of SNL reran all the time in the late 90s and early 2000s on Comedy Central all the time (thats the case for me anyway, born 1984) i was Sandler obsessed as a middle schooler after seeing Airheads, Billy Madison, and Happy Gilmore one after another and then becoming obsessed with his CDs, then discovering SNL from all the reruns on Comedy Central. him, Chris Farley and Jim Carrey were pretty much the gods of comedy as far as 12 year old me was concerned, they all had an amazing run from 1995 to 1998/1999-ish
damn i didnt even think about the albums, those were huge when i was in school, kids were referencing stuff from those in class all the time when i was a kid
for me it was playing with my wiener and balls
Lol I definitely remember a kid on my middle school bus always referencing that one
You got some wiener and some balls why don’t you let your momma take care of it
His songs on Weekend Update were kino, people liked his goofy charm and manchild act
For me it’s Iraqi Pete
I'm pretty old I first remember him from The Cosby Show
I remember randomly seeing him in the reruns of it as a kid and being surprised to randomly catch him on a show like that
Lorne really shaped my childhood choosing Carvey, Meyers, Farley, Spade, Sandler and Schneider.
Same, all those 90s SNL guys and In Living Color comedians pretty much starred in all my favorite comedy stuff when I was a kid. Best era of comedy to grow up with
To me, a lot of his funniest moments were on the late night circuit promoting movies.
The golf movie was funny
he didn't really become popular, he just made a bunch of low budget movies that turned a profit.
>imagine getting filtered by Little Nicky and Waterboy
You got bullied all throughout the 90s and early 2000s, if you were even alive to remember them.
It's weird that him and Jim Carrey had such a similar trajectory and yet they're never mentioned in the same breath.
>Carrey blows up in 94 with Mask, Dumb & Dumber, and Ace Ventura
>Sandler blows up in 95/96 with Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore
>Carrey makes a misstep with Cable Guy
>Sandler makes a misstep with Bulletproof
>Both have big hits until the 2000s
>Both fall off and make shitty movies
>Both make serious movies in the meantime
Animals on HBO did an entire about this specific thing, the Trial of the century
Sandler had huge mega hits after 2000

Bruce Almighty - 485 million
Dick and Jane - 204 million
Yes Man - 220 million
lemony snickets too over 200 million
These guys didn't fall off as hard as you think
What i'm saying is compare their prime in the 90s to their output in the 00s, money wise they did fine but there's a reason everyone talks about Dumb and Dumber and Happy Gilmore and not Bruce Almighty and Chuck and Larry.
sandler never broke 300 million? grim
150m+ for a comedy that costs a few million that would go on to sell millions of VHS/DVD copies is massive.
I think he was being sarcastic plus rubbing it in his face since Jim Carrey has 4 times.
recklessness was popular in the 90's
>He was never funny on SNL
SNL was the only time he was funny
u shuld actually kill urself im so serious man please for the good of everything please he was kinda unfunny on snl at times but his movies are generally really good have u even SEEN happy gilmore?
Billy Madison will go down in the comedy hall of fame, you'll see.
His movie were funny to the old crowd, you know the ones that didn't internet yet and were sucking on their mum's breasts. Like that golfing one.
I didn't even have internet until '99 and that was AOL dial-up. You had to time your porn use very precisely back then.
just watched Billy Madison the other day, early Sandler was so fricking kino when his rumor was tailor-made for moronic teenage boys
lmao i still lose my shit @ 51 when he just starts biting that dudes arm
Nick Swardson is part of Sandlers inner circle and does a lot of writing for him.
Farley was just the fat guy who yelled to get laughs for the most part, he appealed more to the Artie Lange type comedy crowd.
nah bullshit, he had way more range than that, he just pigeonholed himself in that role because that's what he thought was the only thing people wanted from him
two completely different styles of comedy, might as well have compared him to Loui Anderson
SNL fat guy power ranking
Farley >>>>>>>>>>> Belushi > Sanz > Moynihan > Kenan >>>>>>>> Molly Meatbrick
He could actually play sincere unlike most of those losers. He was versatile, but nobody gave him anything to work with so he just languished.
He's funny and talented. Something you'll never be.
wym uncut gems shits on slop like oppenheimer
>his movies are dog shit.
billy madison and happy gilmore are instant classics
frick off you disrepectful zoomer
yeah, he fell off but so does everyone at middle age
but churning out bullshit to make tens of millions of dollars of your reputation is KEYED
frick off, frick you, put some respect on Sandler's name
he's allowed to do whatever he wants to eternity
and you have to allow it and respect it
israeli summer camp
Saw him on an episode of the Cosby show.
He's been at it for awhile.
Connects run deep and as the saying goes "It's not what you know it's who you know."
happy Gilmore is probably the funniest movie of all time
Billy Madison is funny and little Nicky is kinda funny
other than that he has some decent romcoms like wedding singer, 50 first dates and big daddy
oh yea waterboy is ok too
>happy Gilmore is probably the funniest movie of all time
dude seek help
>never funny on SNL
he's one of the most unfunny "comedians".
he's popular because certain oligarchy pushed him
They're All Gonna Laugh at You!
I liked Mr. Deeds. Happy Gilmour. Waterboy kinda. But Click and Pixels were both israeli psy op horseshit movies, just for different reasons.
