Jamie Kennedy -- star of such cinematic blockbusters as Son of the Mask and Malibu's Most Wanted -- sucks as a person. After watching the above clip, the only thought that keeps me from drowning my sorrows in a crimson spray flowing freely from my slashed wrists is the idea that Mr. Kennedy realizes exactly how stupid mainstream America has become, and has made a career cleverly capitalizing on the joy all the fat Minnesotan housewives take from watching a caucasian person act in a stereotypically non-caucasian manner.
If he, in fact, has honed his craft into the abomination you just witnessed, I know a guy who sells Klonopin and plastic bags. Just gimme a call and we'll go into that sweet night together.
I feel bad for him in a way. He's just another nerd who nobody likes. But he also started off his "show" by dissing the entire audience for being gamers.
NONONO!!! Do NOT blame THAT STUPIDITY on some weed.
He's a tried and true moron that can't speak live, a improvised joke is beyond him. He got ONE SLIGHT round of applause and it took him doing push-ups to get it.
I got myself as high as I could for this early, and that crap he's spewing still ain't funny... what an idiot, can I get a TV show yet?
What a fucking idiot. It's no wonder he's starred in such shitty movies, no one else was dumb enough to take the roles. But, then again, Malibu's Most Wanted was based on a character he created, so that proves his stupidity entirely. Why was he even there? Did they really need his?
I'VE ALWAYS WONDERED HOW HE HAS A CAREER...
PAUL MOONEY IS FUNNIER THAN THIS GUY
ANY SECOND OF HIS LIFE...EVEN SLEEPING.
I SWEAR IF I EVER SEE THIS GUY IN THE STREET I WOULD
KNOCK HIS ASS OUT JUST CAUSE HE SUCKS SO BAD.
" LOOK AT ME, I'M A HIP HOP WHITE GUY,
AINT IT COOL WHEN I TALK ALL GANGSTA.."
Jaime Kennedy has never been funny and I'm always surprised every time he manages to get work. That guy's turn around of the Ozzy joke made it worth watching though.
Jim, do you mean the US version of the Office or the original UK version? If you mean the UK version (especially in the second season), then I heartily agree. Less so with the US one, although it is still pretty awkward.
Words escape me. This is truly a Fail of epic proportions. Good thing his 10 highest rated movies were decent enough: I can't remember him in any of them. Can't wait for him to be approached by Darth Boll.
"Trivia:
Author of the book 'Wannabe: A Hollywood Experiment' detailing his miserable early showbiz career before masquerading as his own agent brought him success.
The youngest of 6 children - 1 brother, 4 sisters"
Is his book still being written??? Youngest of a family with 4 older sisters though, I can see why his jokes are made of fail.
Also, if drugs or weed make comedians funnier, then explain to me why there are so few funny comedians here in .NL?
Aughndibi: I haven't watched the US version, so I mean the UK one. Kennedy beats out Ricky Gervais for sheer cringeworthy attempts at making people like him.
Also, when he said "I see a lot of virgins out there" I'd have totally shouted "I see one on the stage."
Bill hicks would be the first to go into the sweet bliss of self induced mortus were he to see the state of things today. Though he'd also probably be in jail first for being the only American to ever accumulate over one million in smoking fines.
Dead-on, Jim. David Brent would've been less awkward than that.
Seriously, that was so unfunny and painful that it actually swung around and became funny again. The guy's done video game related stuff before - I've at least seen some stuff on (sorry) IGN with him involved - so I'm a little surprised he went for the now-cliche "you're all virgin nerds" jokes. He HAD to be hungover or stoned or depressed or lazy or something because, even for him, that was bad.

So, fuck him.
AWESOME!

That was more uncomfortable than an episode of The Office.

That was terrible, so terrible, my mind has gone numb.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Like drinking.
I'm gonna go cry now.

WOW ! great article ! Thanks!!
This is the funniest thing Jamie Kennedy ever did. And that's probably because he didn't write it.

I didn't think that was possible.
Everything I know has just been turned to shit.
Well, here you go. It gets good near the end, but not anywhere near as entertaining as the backstage footage would have been. Oh well.
Jamie Kennedy being pathetic on Attack of the Show
