Thread 213570233

why didnt he become a bigger star? Was one of the last good SNL cast members, was good in Nebraska, MacGruber is a cult classic, and his sitcom Last Man on Earth was total kino. why no new projects in years?

charming, has charisma, clearly intelligent. not funny.

the only funny Tim & Eric skits were the ones he starred in

>my father taught me a lot of things...like how to hate...

MacGruber is kino, never watched the sequel
I dropped Last Man on Earth after a few episodes

>>213570233 (OP)
MacGruber taught me 2 things in life:
1.How to rip out a man's throat with your bare hands
2. Leaving upper deckers

>>213570233 (OP)
him not being funny probably has something to do with it.
>bu-but he's kino!
then why didn't his career take off despite multiple efforts?

>>213570633
i forgot they made a Macgruber series on peacock like 3 years ago, never got around to watching, never saw any reviews so i have no idea if it was well received or not

>>213570233 (OP)
>Last Man on Earth was total kino
No dude that show was fucking weird and not funny. Someone had a huge cuck fetish because that was constant

>>213570233 (OP)
Hollywood rewards narcissists and he’s not a psuedo intellectual like Bill Hader

>>213570233 (OP)
Only a small handful of huge stars have ever come from SNL and he just met a fate similar to most SNL cast members over the years. Compared to a lot of them he still did pretty good for himself. He's great but he didn't always pick projects that propelled his career forward. Probably doesn't have a great agent. Also he was snubbed by Warner Bros choosing to not release the big Looney Tunes reboot movie that he invested a ton of time in.

>>213570573
hes a good comedy yeller because he doesnt do it in an annoying goofy playful wacky way like Will Ferrell or that Robinson guy. when Will Forte does it he sounds like hes genuinely a scary insane person have a psychotic breakdown lol i remember when he'd do it on SNL he'd literally turn beat red while doing it i thought he was gonna give himself an aneurysm

>>213570686
Series was great. Hop on the ‘cock and peep a ‘sode.

>>213570763
for me its the Potato Chip Theif sketch, great unhinged Forte performance (and Sudeikis playing a foghorn leghorn sounding southern gentleman for no reason lol

He's going to be starring in Coyote vs. Acme

Forte was the last good SNL cast member, prove me wrong

Is this board stupid or are we just collectively ignoring that Will Forte has had a solid career?
>Been in dozens of films
>Done hundreds of episodes of TV
>Nominated for an Emmy three times
Yeah he isn't that funny nor is he a household name but pretty much everyone knows him from one thing or another.

>>213571094
I'm assuming OP is wondering why he never became an A-lister. Yeah he's still had a better career than a lot of SNL cast members

>>213571094
everyone acts like if an SNL cast member doesnt have a career of like Adam Sandler or Eddie Murphy or Will Ferrell after they leave the show then theyre a failure. its a misconception that SNL makes everyone a huge star, for every cast of like 20 people only like one becomes a big star after, and thats even rare nowadays because they dont even make much comedies anymore

>>213570233 (OP)
Cartoon voice. You can't make that shit work outside of comedy.

the standard measurement for post-SNL success is Rob Schneider and Forte is significantly below that bar.

>>213570233 (OP)
>why didnt he become a bigger star?

He said some mean things about Israel. He wasn't famous enough to get away with it.

>>213571331
>the standard measurement for post-SNL success is Adam Sandler movie Cameos
doubt

Nebraska was a great film.

>>213570981
Nope. It’s a tax write off never to see the light of day

>>213570233 (OP)
He's a giant faggot, but McGruber is a seriously underrated movie.

>>213572067
he's headlined like 10 shitty movies himself personally.

>>213572111

Not good looking enough.

>>213570633
>>213570686

I love MacGruber but the series was very lack luster.

>>213570386
Agreed. Hes just not that funny like vast majority of SNL from the past 15 years.

>>213570233 (OP)
This is a fucking masterpiece and should be mentioned more in /tv/ threads. It's also written by Odenkirk who also should've had a bigger comedy career.

>>213570573
dont forget the one where he a sword salesman, that was the t&e movie i think

SNL has been charismaless for decades

>>213574151
>I'm a virgin
>not for long

>>213575180
Damn I forgot about that kino I actually saw that in the theater and was the only one in there opening weekend. Lol that’s how I knew it must’ve been a bomb.

Bob wasn’t having the best luck when he tried to transition to becoming a movie director he had two theatrical bombs in a row with Solomon and picrel. Luckily Breaking Bad came not long after to save his career

>>213576001
As funny as Will Arnett was in AD, he didn’t have what it took to be a comedic leading man in the movies

>>213576015
at least not doing the same character shtick, he might have another bit in him somewhere down the line.

>>213576001
Yes, that's what I was referring to. Sad that he never wrote another comedy aside from that horrible Netflix film that's only notable cause it has David Lynch in it for a minute. Solomon Brothers has such a unique style of comedy but it's forced to masquerade as a stupid generic noughties comedy when it's anything but.

I think of this and Hot Rod coming out around the same time as the last period of stupid comedies like this regularly coming out in the theater. I miss those days, those kind of movies would rarely be popular it seemed since those were the ones that always had almost nobody else in the theater

He was good in Bodkin.
Not really a comedic role, but he could act quite well.

>>213575180
will arnett in arrested development is the funniest tv character of all time. i'm gonna watch this
