Danny McBride - What is the point?


Can anybody tell me what the point of Danny McBride is?? Not just in this film, but in general.
Maybe it's just me? But I find him to be utterly repulsive and the least funny character in most everything he has been involved in. Not to mention the totally pathetic and wooden 'acting' he has produced. Anyone else agree, or am I alone in my disdain of this so-called actor??

Yep, that's all you, bro. Not sure what you're on about.

Did you see Aziz's attempt at acting? Apparently, yelling is showing emotion in a scene.

I honestly thought McBride did a much better job than Aziz. I'm not being sarcastic either. There is more chemistry and emotion shown in the scene between Danny and Nick (After he saves him from burning to death) than the other two actors in this movie.

its all you.

get on our level. you kinda suck. danny is pretty great in everything.

You're not alone. Watching him 'act' is downright painful. He has zero range...might as well just name all of his characters Danny McBride. I can somewhat tolerate him if he is given hilarious lines like in tropic thunder or pineapple express. Watching his minor role in The Heartbreak Kid was one of the few times ive actually felt embarrassed for someone on screen. Its almost like his delivery is a parody of bad actors. Theres a reason he only gets roles as the clueless dumbass. He actually helped distract me from how bad Aziz was...

And I did enjoy the movie.

-Doesn't that prove it's NOT McBride but the material that you don't like??

Nope. I said i can somewhat tolerate him - when the jokes are funny enough to take my mind off his embarrassing acting. Thats not exactly high praise.

Yeah, I agree about the acting really. I do understand that in the VAST majority of comedy films the performances are not gonna be academy nominated, especially as the VAST majority of comedy performances are deliberately over-acted. And this is fine, even good when the actor can deliver the goods.

I have not seen 'Eastbound and Down', nor do I have any intention of watching a TV series with a main character portrayed by one of the weakest and most annoying actors (comedic or otherwise) around.

I have seen Pineapple Express - which I LOVED,
also 30 Mins or Less, Your Highness, Due Date, Tropic Thunder, Drillbit Taylor as well as a couple of animations he has voiced.

If you find the guy funny then fair play, I just can't stand him and can't believe he keeps getting cast. This thread was intended to state that and wonder aloud if others felt the same way as I did. I do value your reply and I certainly wasn't insinuating I expect someone of McBrides reputation to produce a Di Niro or Day-Lewis esque performance, however (I think) he is intolerable.

The wierd thing is that on this thread, I have been on my own, however a week or two back I found a board with about 7/8 other people airing very similar views to my own.

terrible acting skills, but still better than will ferrell.

Humor is subjective. Some people love Robin Williams. I can't stand even the sight of his face.

DMB made me shed tears in Observe & Report. I kind of like his delivery in most things I've seen him in, but like I said, it's a subjective thing. If you don't already gel with his style, people won't be able to talk you in to it or explain it in a way that will change your mind.
