Chevy Chase still not funny
My wife likes the movie Christmas Vacation and I’m forced to watch it every year. I hate the movie. I hate it mostly because Chevy Chase is not funny. He never has been funny. I can’t figure out how the guy got a job as a comedian. Apparently, he proved to be unfunny again:
He deployed the four-letter word that got Vice President Dick Cheney in hot water, using it as a noun. Chase called the prez a “dumb (expletive).” He also used it as an adjective, assuring the audience, “I’m no (expletive) clown either. … This guy started a jihad.”
Chase also said: “This guy in office is an uneducated, real lying schmuck … and we still couldn’t beat him with a bore like Kerry.”
If you’re going to bash the President, at least be funny about it. People who are also not funny: Margaret Cho (unlike local boy Henry Cho, who is funny – I don’t think they’re related). Ellen Degeneres. Ben Stiller.

Wow. A wash-up has-been tries to jump-start his career by bashing George W. Bush. Guess “The Five Fabulous Weeks of the Chevy Chase Show” didn’t occupy his time enough…
Yawn.
Go back to sucking Castro’s dick, Chevy. Or make another insipid “Vacation” movie.
Asshat.
(No offense to you, Unc, of course. It’s just that this is getting tiresomely boring…)

C’mon. Chevy hasn’t been funny for a long time but he used to be funny. Some of the SNL stuff is classic. The first “Vacation” was hilarious and “Caddyshack” is one of the funniest movies of all time.
I don’t have to agree with someone to think they are funny.

Thanks Fletch. We ought to include Fletch in the list of hilarious Chevy Chase movies
and of course
He was also in Three Amigos.
He might be dumb as a bolt, and not very funny anymore, but to say he wasn’t ever funny just isn’t the case.

Jay G:
If Dennis Miller’s any indication, the liberal wash-up has-beens don’t have a monopoly on trying desperately to revitalize their careers by going political.

By the way, Henry Cho might just have the worst celebrity web site ever. 🙂
