Robin, like Carey and some others, could make you feel embarrassed by his antics, bit make you laugh still. -- nm - zork Aug 11, 20:35 2

  - I know shandling is good, but I can't in good conscience group him with those people. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 11, 19:59
Probably not. The environment that created them was then changed by them. The folks we have today - TWuG Aug 11, 19:43 2
- I think there will be another genius of his magnitude, but that person will look very different because of the environment. - loosi at home Aug 11, 19:52 1
  - This is basically what my wife said. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 11, 20:31

Jim Carrey -- nm - Remlik Aug 11, 19:37 3
- not the same type of performer, close, but not that ability to jump into 100 people in 5 mins - Truman Aug 11, 19:39 2
  - Jim Carrey basically let Hollywood out of having to hire RW for that role when JC hit it big in 1994. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 11, 19:43
  - He is as close as we currently have. -- nm - T.S.Garp Aug 11, 19:42
Andy Dick -- nm - Bacon Aug 11, 19:37 8
- Even Dane Cook thinks this idea sucks. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 11, 19:54 4
  - The only answer that could be worse rhymes with Hris Chudnall. -- nm - David Aug 11, 19:56 3
    - That name looks familiar. Do I know him? - Bacon Aug 11, 20:14 2
      - Way to prove David's point! -- nmby - Roger More Aug 11, 20:21 1
        
        Dammit! -- nm - Bacon Aug 11, 20:42
- You, sir, need to apologize. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 11, 19:51 1
  - cause *fuck* him. -- nm - Reagen Aug 11, 19:52
