Can anyone confirm he works in comedy?


I read somewhere that Ben Stiller has acted in comedies. That he's a funny guy. Someone who makes you laugh. At least in the movies. I must have watched other movies with Ben Stiller then I guess as I don't remember a single scene ever that had Ben Stiller in it that was funny. And I think over the years I've seen them all.

I have the same question about Owen Wilson.

Or is it only 'Muricans that appreciate their kind of non-humour?

Same question for Seth Rogen.

And Robin Williams (extremely awful, never funny, very overrated).

And Will Ferrell (who hires this guy?).

And Jack Black.

Oh, and Mike Myers (the king of not-funny).

He does make some good comedies. I know most people like him.
Have you seen reality bites?

While I would agree with you in general criticism of American media, some of it is OK. Just most of it is corporate garbage. Stiller's Walter Mitty was kind of funny. And the sometimes about Mary hair gel and franks and beans were hilarious.

The people you've picked out are ones I have problems with as well. Will Farrell I just cannot stand, and Owen Wilson ... who would make this guy with the deformed nose a movie star?

What do you think of Larry David?

all those comedians are international stars.
