What did you think of Fletcher? Me although he was supposed to be a snot nosed jerk who was totally full of himself and he was also the bad guy I thought he was really hilarious and he is my favorite character throughout the movie, he basically stoled every scene he was in and had me laughing everytime I've seen him.
I totally agree. While it might be felt by many that Michael Richards came out the breakout star (due to his subsequent casting in Seinfeld), McCarthy, as you said, stole every scene he was in. He played a special kind of nasty.
I really thought that Kevin McCarthy stoled every scene he was in as Fletcher, I think that his performance as Fletcher is one of the greatest performances anybody has ever put out.

I love when he said the community means as much as a festering ball of dog snot.
I couldn't stop laughing!
I know, 10 years and all that, but life moves pretty fast, and time goes even faster.
Your laughter was based on false premise. He doesn't say 'ball', he says 'bowl'.
This reminds me; 'snot' is such a weird word to use in such a scene. I wonder if this was some kind of self-censorship. Surely that other s-word would've been way more disgusting (as disgusting as snot is), and more naturally 'festering', and easier to fill a bowl with.
Also, Gandhi being a mother seems a bit odd; when did he go through a successful sex-change operation - so incredibly successful, that he was able to reproduce as a female?
I think this is another case of them removing the f-word from after the word 'mother'. Kind of bothers me a bit, because surely they could've used some other word that makes more sense. Mother-f-er would make more sense, plus, it would actually fit, since there's always a small pause after the word 'mother', as if it -was- originally indeed that longer word, but someone decided to 'clean up' this movie's narration (can't really call it a 'dialogue') a bit.
Nowadays, a movie like this couldn't be made regardless of word-censorship.
Fletcher was hilarious. His name should have been Felcher, but Weird Al works clean. It blew my mind when I saw Kevin McCarthy, the actor who played Fletcher in the movie "Kansas City Bomber". He played it straight in that movie.
shareI felt bad for him. Here he is this hard working entrepreneur/job creator who is attacked and destroyed by some lazy good for nothing who is just handed a TV station by his degenerate gambler of an uncle. This film represents everything that is wrong with America.
