i irrationally hate the actor that played the mother from How I Met Your Mother. Maybe i just hate that doe eyes look she seems to be inflicted with. And she seems to always be playing some sad sack in a bad relationship so it might just be type casting too. Plus the end of HIMYM was so fuckin bad so that might not help lol.

    Tom Cruise. He’s an ego maniac Scientologist with a weird cult following.

    Jim Carrey, i don’t care for his face & style, even his ‘based’ political cartoons are unpleasant with a desperate sort of showmanship. also i heard what he did on the set of man on the moon which doesn’t help

    Tim Allen is like every fucking awful suburban white guy composited, somehow, into a real guy. i don’t think he was ever something approaching cool. the dude could do heroin and look like a fucking square

      If boomers could summon a primal, FFXIV style, it’s a coin toss chance that the primal is trump-drenched and the other side of the coin is Tim Allen.

      I watched some of Jim Carrey’s movies from the 90’s recently, and my god his comedy did not age well.

      Also he’s anti-vaxx, and has been since long before COVID.

        i feel like he got pissed about being pigeonholed as a children’s entertainer (shocker, guy whose talent is funny faces only makes waves with children) and tried so hard to be viewed as a mature and serious ‘sad clown’ comedian. most of what he did to cultivate that image was abusive irl theatrics & poorly performing outside of his range lol.

      Unpopular opinion, but I really like the early seasons of the Office US. It tried to replicate the drier, bleaker tone of the UK version. There were a lot of melancholic moments during those seasons, and it left an impression on me because the episodes would just end after something sweet or vaguely sad with the black credit scenes without any music - almost as if it was an early draft of the documentary it’s supposed to be formatted as.

      My favorite is probably the Office Olympics - everyone was getting along and having fun while Michael was away. Pam made makeshift medals for the winners. After he returned and is extremely pissed off with everything, everyone just awkwardly scuffles back to work and Ryan throws away the medal in front of Pam, upsetting her. But then Michael received one of the makeshift yogurt peel medals and he was genuinely happy about it which turned his day around, and made her a little happier. Then it cuts to the silent credits. chefs-kiss

      Later seasons everything was always ending on a happy note. Most of them were still good but really took away from the whole “this job is fucking miserable, but at least I have some people I like here” vibe and turned it into “we’re a big family so sometimes we fight!”

      • Agreed sort of. I can’t watch it really, because I don’t like cringing, but the first season or 2 actually seem like a horror show about the terrors of office life exploded to immense size with small bits of happiness sprinkled through. That’s a good idea even though I don’t like it personally. But then everything was just drama with cringe sprinkled into it, and it lost that toucht

    Does it count as irrational if the actor is a serial child predator?

    If not, my nomination still goes to Justin Roiland for voice acting roughly the same two characters over and over again with slightly different names and getting paid millions for it while being allowed to abuse everyone around him at the recording studios because being a drunk asshole is seen as “method acting.”

        He was always a monster, but there was a little sticky note that said “IRONICALLY” over it all until then.

        That sticky note didn’t cover enough for the recording staff and other workers he abused for “method acting” reactions well before the tweets were exposed.

      Last time I watched the oscars, Leto won and in his speech he praised the Venezuelan opposition. I think this was at the height of the US mass media’s assault on the Bolivarian Revolution, so you might not be off about him being a CIA asset.

      Ashton Kutcher worked with the FBI and CIA to “fight child trafficking,” and his organization provided CIA surveillance tools to police. If we know anything about the CIA, it’s that they’re very against CSA, especially children in poor countries with more corruption

    When I was like 18-25, I absolutely H A T E D Robert Downey Jr for no reason whatsoever.

    Now that I’m older and have better taste, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is fantastic and nobody else could play his role. I just dont give a fuck about Iron Man

    I was having a conversation with my friends about how I can never recognize actors and they were like “it sounds like you’re face blind” and then I took the test and it turns out I’m just barely above the cutoff for face blindness.

    Anyway I can’t irrationally hate an actor because they all look the same to me.

    Seth Rogen. All the roles I’ve seen him in boil down to “lmao weed” or “men should be measured by their hearts, give the schlub a chance”.

    The first trope I can deal with, but the second always gets on my tits. Women who are more attractive, successful and smart being portrayed as a reward for simply not being a raging asshole to them (while otherwise being a fuckup) is part of what creates a lot of “nice guys”.

    Irrational? Odds are if they’re famous, they’re a terrible human being. Seems rational to hate them first and make them prove they aren’t actually terrible after the fact.
