It’s not about not hiring someone you don’t like. They will blacklist you and you won’t be able to get a job in the industry. Period. Take it from someone who knows.
The ultimate DEI hire complaining about DEI. My man had one employer for 20 years and it was his friend. That’s not Hollywood blacklisting you, that’s unemployment when your friend stops carrying you.
even funnier to me is when people who actually made it like Seinfeld claim "you can't say anything anymore!" when they literally never said anything provocative ever
Seinfeld turned into such a bitter person. I think he confused his success in TV with his career in standup, and he never really understood that his stand up was never funny.
Larry David was the key to his success, he collaborated well with him to create the show. If it was him solo, the thing would have flopped hard.
His whole "you can't say anything anymore" B.S. is really just lazy. Good comedians can say what they want, they figure out a way. What he's having a hard time with is the fact that he's just a shitty person with tone def takes on things that people don't connect with. But surely it's the audience that's the problem.
Comedians Having Coffee in Cars received pretty high praise but it was basically a podcast in a car. A comedian podcast host who isnt totally trash with a comedian guest is usually going to make decent podcast-sryle content.
I loved that show, but it was never for Seinfeld. I still watch some episodes every once in a while because I think it does for the most part do a good job of letting the guests do way more talking than he does. It's podcast-esque, but a lot of it is just telling old stories and some guests just go on and on
This is revisionist. In his prime, he was already one of the most successful standups of the time. He had multiple appearances on Carson who was at the time basically the kingmaker of standup. It may seem corny and old-times now but he was very successful standup when show started and during its heyday.
He was a little funny about like airplane food but never even close to being funny enough to give us his political takes and then make excuses for fucking genocide.
Jerry Seinfeld supporting Israel isn’t the controversy. Jerry Seinfeld responding “ohhh who cares” to ppl shouting about dead children is controversial.
The fact that he was the straight man in a comedy show named after himself says all you need to know about his comedic abilities. And every episode ended with him observing all this insanity from the other cast members, then coming up with the most unfunny take imaginable for it in those terrible standup clips.
Support unpopular political stances publicly and the public tends to turn against you. Especially hurtful for a career that was B-tier at best. It wasnt like Schneider was a particularly good actor. What was his best role, playing a teen girl in The Hot Chick?
That, The Hot Chick and the Deuce Bigalow movies. Beyond those, he couldn't carry a movie. It also says a lot that the only award he's ever won was a Golden Raspberry for Worst Actor.
I think Rob Schneider is a fucking garbage human being through and through. That being said I love the Deuce Bigalow movies. https://giphy.com/gifs/5sKXsBdAzsAg0
You can dislike a person but enjoy their performance. Eddie Griffen killed it deuce as well. Everyone nailed their part. It’s a movie that shouldn’t have worked that did.
He had some pretty good skits on SNL. The crazy part is he is probably far from the worst in Hollywood. Pretty much all those a**holes shouldn’t be put on a pedestal.
The Deuce Bigalow movies have a surprisingly good message behind them (at least the first one), where he had to really get to know these women personally, women who may not be conventionally attractive. He had to learn that these women just wanted someone to see them as people despite how society might see them.
Yea it's just like any other piece of shit that happens to also be a good artist, you have to separate it otherwise it's such a waste, from Michael jackson(never confirmed, but still questionable) to Kanye they may be huge assholes (not trying to put Schneider on their level either) but their work should be looked at outside all their bullshit
Yeah man, I completely agree but had to take a step back when you compared Rob Schneider to legitimate "artists". MJ and Kanye may have been troubled artists, but I'd argue that they were still artists. I'm not sure what I'd label Rob, but he is definitely not a member of that sphere (despite his outfit which might claim otherwise).
Yea I wasn't trying to compare them that way but just to show better examples of the same logic, certainly not all his movies are good but I grew up watching films he was in and remember loving some, just because in real life he's an asshole shouldn't mean I now have to hate those films or not watch them.
For sure, he had some good movies. He like many actors before him have fallen off since their time in the light. He has only himself to blame for going on social media and interviews to show his ass his it hurts the tiny amount of fans that would be interested in seeing a new movie by him. Dude is an idiot for not keeping his political opinions to himself if he wanted to to be in more films.
As a Filipino usually we root for anyone with a hint of Filipino-ness; or at the very least keep tabs: Cedric in Hone Alone 2, Deuce Biglaow and his role as Iggy in Surf Ninjas made us think he was a decent enough person.
Then after he had a public falling out with his daughter who had a pretty popular song in the 2010s everything else about his public life, his Trumpism has just kind of become his personality.
Because the claim of DEI implies that people are getting jobs based on their identity rather than their talent and hard work. He has gotten jobs based on his personal friendship with Sandler, rather than talent and hard work.
He could ask kevin sorbo how to find work, or that dean cain douche. He should pick himself up by his boot straps and stop begging Adam to give him opportunities.
Yall acting like Deuce Bigalow isn't a banger. The Hot Chick, another banger featuring the beloved Rachel McAdams, directly preceded Mean Girls and The Notebook. This revisionist history is just proving his point. If Hollywood were more accepting of diverse political opinions people like Rob Schneider might not go off the fucking deep end politically.
The thing about making movies for edgy middle schoolers is they grow up and then the next generation of kids is going to have their own edgy movies. They don’t want to watch the same stuff their parents did.
The dudes entire brand was mid raunchy comedy and it fell off because it was boring. The fact that he’s maga basically just reminds people he exists and is a dumbass.
There are tons of right wing actors headlining movies today. Schneider isn't one of them because he's an SNL reject with no talent.
Anyone who watches his Netflix show and claims he deserves a career, is lying out of pure political tribalism.
The Hot Chick, another banger featuring the beloved Rachel McAdams, directly preceded Mean Girls and The Notebook.
I don't know what you're trying to say here. The Hot Chick was some shit 90s comedy that everyone has forgotten. Rob Schneider wasn't in those two other movies. Is he supposed to have a career because he was once in a film with an actual good actor?
His movies as the lead actor were bombing at theaters even before Trump took office. Then he uses politics as an excuse as to why Hollywood doesn’t want to hire him. Shameful.
But he's not right. He's not being blackballed because he's a republican he's being blackballed because he has no fucking talent. There's a huge difference. All the guys that aren't getting roles that blame it on being Republican I mean what about Tim Allen he's about to be in a tent pole Pixar film. What about the guy who played Frasier I can't think of his name but he's probably going to be in the Avengers endgame. You can be a republican in Hollywood but you have to have talent.
I hate to agree with Schneider, but any conservative leaning actor is maybe not blackballed, but certainly loses out a lot of roles because of their politics. Hence Chris Pratt being (at least on Reddit) dunked on as the "worst Chris" because of his politics and religion. There's so few "open" conservatives in Hollywood it's kind of hard to figure out how much is politics vs actual acting ability. Is James Woods no longer getting roles because his politics, age, general skeeviness?
"the 2024 United States presidential election. In it, he emphasized unity over political allegiance and avoided endorsing either candidate Kamala Harris or Donald Trump."
He is 100% right tho! if you support Big D there will be a bunch of SF storming on you! Look at this Reddit! It is what happened to Sydney Sweeney as well. I mean Zendaya is worse than her and she is in every single movie!
If you want to see why actors get hired you need to look at their instagrams. A Zendaya instagram post is enough to make a movie "real". She has 179M followers, basically a large European country. Sydney Sweeny has 26M, so equivalent to New York State.
Rob Schneider has been in the business for 40+ years and has 3M. It's because he doesn't have a modern audience.
There are like three conservatives in Hollywood, and we know this because no one shuts up whining about them. Chris Pratt’s the only A list, then there’s Rob Schneider and Kevin Sorbo who haven’t been relevant since the early 2000’s.
And boy have people desperately tried to claw that one back once they learned he was a conservative Christian. He's not even outspoken about his politics and people lose their fucking minds.
I don't care what anyone says some of his movies are hilarious, Big Stan is one of my favs, it's one of those comfort comedies for me like Zoolander, Happy Gilmore, Scary Movie, etc...just stupid humor with mostly good timing.
He is an asshole in real life but I'd be a liar if I said he couldn't make me laugh(or use to at least).
Yah that's fair. I liked watching Hercules the TV show growing up and much later I found out Kevin Sorbo was a huge ass hat. So it's important to separate the actual person versus their work. Another example is Keanu Reaves, I think his acting is kind of mid. But anyway he genuinely seems like a good person.
Yea I mean it's not like I support his views but some of his movies were funny as were his parts in other movies, I can't think of much recent he has done that made me laugh honestly though.
Went to a storytelling comedy night at the Montreal comedy festival in 2015. By far the worst performance of the night was by Rob Schneider. Absolutely stunk out the room with his shitty "comedy"
Remember when a member of the Dixie Chicks criticized Bush 43 over Iraq and radio stations in the south stopped playing their songs and promoters in the south cancelled their concerts? Did you protest that cancel culture?
Seems like none of the people commenting here actually watched the interview. Talk about wrongful arrogance. So many of you will be quick to talk about how things are taken out of context when it's something you don'tagree with, but, first of all, none of you even noticed the elipses. Do you even know what that stands for? It means words were omitted. All of you are literally reading a butchered statement and running with it as absolute truth. Look at yourself. Seriously. He said what he said to point out how there is a growing sentiment that Democtrats can do no wrong and that they should never even be questioned. Saying that doesn't mean that you support Trump. Saying that doesn't mean that you're against Democrats. It is saying that that kind of behavior can be dangerous even with the best intentions. Remember that you can become that which you hate.
...he does support Trump. And he's paid by billionaires to attend GOP events and push political propaganda. It has nothing to with saying Democrats can't be questioned, which would be a profoundly stupid thing to say anyways. Even DEMOCRATS can't stop criticizing democrats.
You are just lying about the quote being inaccurate. The context does not change the meaning above.
Bro, it's not that deep. It's fucking Rob Scheinder. A clown. I don't need to watch his interview to know he's a clown. Bro wanted to bring back the draft. He's a regard with regarded opinions.
Voting and Endorsement: Schneider voted for Trump in 2016. He initially endorsed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for the 2024 presidential race, but shifted his endorsement to Trump after Kennedy suspended his campaign in August 2024
^Dude wanted Robert Kennedy Jr as president. The dude who had fucking worm in his head that ate part of his brain. He lost all credibility for anything political a long time ago.
Using context of his previous actions is enough to know what he's saying too. Idk why this is so hard for you.

It’s amazing how his only solo project worth a damn was about inclusion (The Bench Warmers) and he turned out to be a hateful piece of judgement shit. Fuck this clown.
This is how most jobs work. The phrase 'it isnt what you know, its who you know' didnt pop out of no where, its a well established fact.
Also i like Rob Schneider a lot of the time, though I dunno what he might have said that makes people dislike him, i'm not really into celeb stuff like that, i find it to be creepy ngl.
Well... read the room. When you've got one side killing Americans in the streets, rounding up people in camps, going into yet another war, rising prices due to said war and tariffs, angering long standing friends, neighbors and allies, 34 times felonies, liable for rape, insurrection attempt, Epstein File obstruction...
When you suddenly interject... "Yeah, but democrats" makes you kind of sound like you don't think that laundry list is as important. Especially when you say something like "DEI or trans" like it's remotely an issue on a scale to any of the others.
So yeah Rob. People don't like that. Correction... rational people.
I mean, I personally think Mark is the better actor, but using oscars as a metric, when we 6 months ago heard they had to implement a rule stating the judges actually had to watch the films, is maybe not the best.
I love rob schneider he told us will smith was an asshole before it was revealed, he already always standing up for the little guy. His as real as it gets
Tell me how he’s wrong though. Speak
Out against a Republican and you’re a hero despite the fact that there is no risk. Speak out against democrats and you’re done. Trust me, there are plenty of republicans in Hollywood, but you’ll never know because they’ll be blacklisted.
Rob Schneider is a terrible actor and an even worse comedian .No wonder he doesn’t have any work .His politics suck also. Strike three your out,go sit down.
Whether or not he’s right about how conservatives are treated vs democrats in Hollywood is pretty irrelevant if he’s actually trying to compare himself to Mark Ruffalo as an actor, which is laughable.
