Jason Momoa. Can't act, plays every character the same, and can't seem to keep himself from smirking in every moment of screentime.

Also Paul Dano. Someone else mentioned Leo's "imposter syndrome" and I would apply that to Dano also. I can't tell if he's acting too much or not enough, but he always feels out of place.

Cringe comedy actors like Ferrell. Just saying or doing stupid cringeworthy shit that really isn’t funny to make a situation more uncomfortable and unbelievable.

Will Ferrell, Steve Carrel and Ben Stiller are the 3 horsemen of the comedy apocalypse

I agree with this comment in general, but don't think Ferrell is a good example. Or really, maybe he is a good example, but the way his movies are shot isn't a good example.

In Ferrell movies, the gag is that the actor says or does something outrageously dumb, and then the other actors largely go along with it, either pumping up the idea, or being coerced by it, or stomping it down in a hilariously insulting fashion. If there is ever a moment of awkward silence, it lingers for a second before the scene ends. Arrested Development is another example of this being done well. It's a farce - the actions are so bizarre and outlandish that we can't possibly imagine ourselves doing it, so we are absolved of sympathy for the cartoonish actor and enjoy seeing them fumble their way through the scene.

But there is a new wave of "cringe comedy" that seems to not understand what a farce is. A character will do something just beyond the limit of what we could imagine ourselves doing, so we can still identify with the character. Then the other characters react in the way people would react in real life - with stern condemnation or cold shouldering. And the scene goes on and on and on. It is terrible.

Julia Roberts.

She has way too many teeth, I'm scared.

Adam Sandler. I dunno that everyone likes him, but he seems very popular and lots of people seem to love his movies, but I can't fucking stand him. I don't enjoy his style of comedy, I find him equal parts vapid and grating in everything I've ever seen him in, I just don't see the appeal.

[–] sheogorath@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

From the interviews that I've seen and the accounts of people who've encountered him it seems that he's a pretty genuine guy. He knows he's not making high art and isn't pretending otherwise.

[–] Libra@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 day ago

I mean that wouldn't surprise me, I'm sure he's a lovely person, he's just kind of the opposite of entertaining to watch for me. But, to each their own.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 6 points 22 hours ago

Ryan Reynolds. I'd be hesitant to say "everyone likes him" because while he is popular he does have a pretty big base of folks who dislike him as well.

[–] Jhuskindle@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ryan Reynolds because I've met and had the displeasure of working with him twice.

Yea don't just drop a shit like that and don't flush.

[–] starlinguk@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

Will Ferrell. He's a creep. He's not funny and is way too keen to play the love interest of actresses much younger than he is.

[–] Khrux@ttrpg.network 27 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Gal Godot.

I'm very impressed with Lemmy here for not doing what Reddit would have and naming a long list of attractive women. That being said, if I didn't feel a moral obligation to boycott Gal Godot, she is so talentless that she hasn't made anyone else's list because it's such a low hanging fruit.

[–] jaschen306@sh.itjust.works 3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Oh god. Snow-white's failure is mostly her fault.

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

That's like blaming the rat who was on fire for running into a barn filled with shit

Matt Damon

His most tolerable role was as the lead singer of Lustra in Euro Trip.

Norman Reedus i guess? Im a big metal gear fan but I won’t play death stranding.

Norman reedus is gross and looks like the smelly guy with cigarette burns on his fingers and bitten up fingernails. He repulses me, I have nothing but contempt for him. He’s so skeevy looking.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 3 points 22 hours ago

Whaaaat, you don't wanna play the game with the gross guy you dislike with pissing mechanics that also lets you collect your sweat, piss, and poop and put them into grenades to throw at ghosts?
