Real Talk: for those who dislike Leslie Jones... why is her one note comedy different or "less than" to you than Will Ferrell's one note comedy?
The best explanation I can muster is that not all notes are the same, and her one note is super fucking annoying

Well, I'll amend. I'm not sure what you mean. Is Leslie Jones more one note than Will? Maybe, yes. I'll give you that. My vomit emoticon was in response to everything you said about Will. Because he's overrated, uninteresting, and a joke.

I'd much rather watch Leslie fail at her one great thing, than watch Will be an asshole at his one thing.

Based on past posts, I'm assuming you've seen, at most, Anchorman and Talladega Nights? You honestly think those are the same character?
I've never seen Talladega Nights. And I dislike anyone who has.

Will Ferrell is (generally speaking) terrible.

Sandler is the same character in every movie I have seen him in. I have not seen every Sandler movie.

I love the Canteen Boy sketch. Tho it's probably due more to Alec Baldwin than Sandler.

i'm not that big of a ferrell fan, but he is by no means one-note...also as jorge said it's not even so much that jones is one note, it's just that note is terrible
And they say that a hero could save us
