  • Bill Cosby. I was raised on Bill Cosby albums and TV shows. I can't listen to him any more.

    • My family had "The Best of Bill Cosby" album when I was a kid and we listened to it a lot. Some of the funniest bits on that album and I always had warm memories sitting and listening to them.

      Then it comes out that he's a complete monster. All those family memories tied to that now, it really sucks.

    • He's one of the few people who's work I can separate from the monster, but only because it was my first comedy album as a kid

  • It goes back aways, but Dennis Miller went from borderline "edgy" to complete wimp and GW simp after 9/11.
    Total 180

  • Ricky Gervais.

    Liked him ~ The Office, Extras, podcast period, even some of his Golden Globes hosting, but now I find his "edginess" and mugging grating.

    • Tooooo CHALLENGING for you?!

      • :)

        Saw that whole special a few year ago. Love him.

    • Ricky Gervais.

      Liked him ~ The Office, Extras

      Seems to me his shtick got old right around the time "Lifes too Short" came out, that show started out with a few funny gags but by the end of it I was seriously stuck that this entire show was them making fun of a little person for no good reason.

    • At some point I realised his "ironic" depictions aren't ironic at all, he genuinely is just an average bigot who likes punching down.

      The only difference between him and some racist sexist ableist playground bully from the 1950s is Gervais has managed to convince a swathe of people that is ironic and edgy somehow.

    • There's a fine line between poking fun at everything and being insufferably smug, and I reckon he's crossed it a bit. The difference is forgetting to include yourself in 'everything'.

  • Roger Taylor and Brian May from Queen. Not due to them being overt assholes, but about how the treated the cinematic legacy of Freddy Mercury.

    The blocked a movie idea with Sasha Baron Cohen playing Freddie in his flamboyant, over the top lifestyle as they wanted it to be 'more about the band' and they wanted Freddies death to be the middle part of the story, where the last half was them two (as Roger Deacon had walked away from them) protecting Freddies legacy.

    I mean, the reason people loved Freddie was over his larger than life persona, and I'm convinced Cohen could've struck the note between the over-the-top, the fabulous and the pesonal Freddie.

    Instead we got BoRep, which was an awful movie with a polished up storyline and danger free scenes. Also it was horribly edited.

    I must say, they haven't done horrible stuff, they are decent individuals. But they got their succes out of working with Freddie yet they fail to see why everybody was so enchanted by Freddie and not so much by themselves.

    • Roger Taylor and Brian May. John Deacon was the bass player and he retired when Freddie died.

      • Shit mixed those up, I wrote Deacons' name further down in the comment too...

        fixed

    • They do not fit this thread.

      • Well I used to like them, but I dont anymore. So that fits the thread imho.

        It doesn't say why you don't like them anymore or that they must have done something horrid..
