I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Leslie Jones is not doing anything like that, but I don't necessarily think it's her fault.

Hate it, but it's true.

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?

Oh but it so isn't.

Based on past posts, I'm assuming you've seen, at most, Anchorman and Talladega Nights? You honestly think those are the same character?

The best explanation I can muster is that not all notes are the same, and her one note is super fucking annoying

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.
