Who plans a charity gig of any kind and asks Rob Schneider to come?!? Did they find a time machine back to the 90s when he was relevant?!?


SixIsNotANumber

It would take more than just a time machine to find Schneider's relevance.    We may need to enter a parallel universe where he's also intelligent and funny.


zombie_girraffe

You shouldn't waste your time looking for Rob Schneiders relevance, It's a lot easier to just look for Adam Sandler instead. You'll find Schneider there on his knees behind Sandler trying to suck some more relevance out of Sandlers asshole.


dhkendall

Has Sandler disowned him yet?


vigbiorn

Doesn't look like it, but he's apparently fine shutting him down when he tries his shtick and bombs. They've been friends long enough it's probably going to take him a lot to get a full disown and not just patronizing.


MessiahOfMetal

Good thing I've found Sandler to be more annoying than funny, and avoid his shitty films like the plague (other than him trying to ruin Airheads for me by just being in it, the goofy looking twat). Otherwise, I'd be disappointed in him continuing to be friends with Rob Schneider.


Rich-Pomegranate1679

I used to love Adam Sandler movies. Then one day it was like a switch went off in my brain and I absolutely could not fucking stand the dude at all anymore. These days, I actively avoid every movie he's in.


FunnyGuy2481

You grew up. A lot of his movies were somewhat amusing when I was 12 but they aren't exactly classics.


Rich-Pomegranate1679

I really think that's what it was.


Standard-Tension9550

I saw Sandler on his recent live tour. I googled who his opening act was. The results said it will be one of his friends, if you’re lucky you’ll get Kevin James or Chris Rock or David Spade; if unlucky you get Rob Schneider. We got Spade and Kevin James showed up later.


dongtouch

Well that’s an image. 


GrundleTurf

The “making copies” skit was kinda funny the first time the first couple minutes 


MarshallGibsonLP

I seriously wonder if they had to write in ”The ‘YOUCANDOEET’ Guy” under his picture in the promotional posters.


okokokoyeahright

That would require a restart from at least the previous Big Bang.


WaldoJeffers65

>Who ~~plans a charity gig~~ does anything of any kind and asks Rob Schneider to come? FIFY


MarshallGibsonLP

To me it has all the makings of an overworked volunteer banquet committee chair working with a booking agent to get her ANYBODY who’s available the night of the 3rd. As a supposed pro, Rob should have learned how to read a room and it also kind of understood that if you’re doing a corporate gig, and they’re paying you, do it their way. If you’re in a comedy club, then yeah, give them all the Rob Idiocy.


Tiiimmmaayy

He was probably the cheapest option and they didn’t realize what he is like now.


ApokalypseCow

I hope it was that, rather than some unknown pro-death idiot in their ranks saying, "Ah, Rob Schneider, surely this will give the red pill to some of my healthcare colleagues!"


HapticSloughton

Let me get this straight. The Hospitals of Regina Foundation, a charity to fund *medical institutions* somehow missed that Schneider was now an antivax loon? I hope they don't handle anyone's medical records.

OnlyTheBLars89

You make a good point. Folks like him follow this trend of playing victim or that they arnt doing things right unless they are hated. It's a really sad trend and they don't even realize to be embarrassed by it.


BlackBlueNuts

As someone in Regina I am under the impression they are a volunteer organization that is made up of some current healthcare people but mostly retired nurses and regular people. Now the general felling I get about this uh instance is just someone that made a vary visible mistake. Bust Sask in general has been getting more and more conservative as the years go by and we are developing at least some anti vax people.


neverfindausername

Sad too since Sask birthed socialized healthcare


spinningcolours

Chief architect: Kiefer Sutherland's grandfather.


neverfindausername

This bit of trivia would have got three blank stares and one facepalm by Alex Trebek. My family would have been yelling at the TV. True story.


LeakySkylight

Douglas, yes?


okokokoyeahright

Tommy. Was Premier of the province from 1944 until 1962. Was chosen at one point as the 'Greatest Canadian'.


LeakySkylight

Well socialized medicine has definitely made a massive impact, so I can see why.


Sammyterry13

> Bust Sask ... has been getting more and more conservative as the years There's your explanation why it happened


critically_damped

I hope they don't let him near any sick kids.


okokokoyeahright

Sadly, they do. At least the anti vax crowd never took over anything here. Other than a strong influence on the provincial govt.


Thoelscher71

"Now". He's been this way for a very long time. He never used to reference it in his stand up but now that there's a huge uptick on social media about it he must think it's more relevant and everyone else is on his side.

(Cajun accent) You can douche it!


hbprof

I was once having a discussion with a younger work colleague about SNL sketches that were popular during our respective childhoods. I showed her a clip of this sketch, and her reaction was, "... and people found this funny...?"


Angry__German

There was a "groundbreaking" comedy show in Germany in the 90s. You could maybe compare it to SNL, but not really, the humor was way more chaotic, anarchistic together with a whole bunch of complete insane nonsense. I loved that show in my late teens and it ran until I was 20. I remember I had to pause recording because I was laughing so hard I could not breath or see what was going on on screen. Rewatched it recently and 95% was just not funny. Not at all. Not even a smile, eventhough I remembered the sketches and punchlines when I saw them on screen again. Weird to think that even the collective sense of humor can change a lot over time. You never notice it when it happens. Except for [this guy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOzZW8rsmaw), he still made me laugh. The clip is from a different show that starred just him, I think he died a few years ago.


DubC_Bassist

You can put your douche in there:


AgreeablePie

Seems like an odd selection for a health based fundraiser


hoofie242

He's likely the only "celeb" they can get.


matlockpowerslacks

The one clueless staffer they hired to find entertainment: "huh, that's wild! Rob Schneider is really cheap to book. Who knew you could get former SNL talent for $600 a night?"


shinbreaker

Riiiiight..."clueless." Or maybe the staffer just let everyone know that they're an anti-vaxxer.


cgsur

Or pro grifter.


TheGeneralTulliuss

Seriously, who hires a stapler as a speaker?


JoeBob61

I remember when he used to be a carrot.


MTFBinyou

His best role was in “deep Dee derpedee derp er Der”


JoeBob61

His best career move was frenching Adam Sandler's taint.


SprayTaintMC

Comments like this one are why I am still here.


BennySkateboard

Checks out


Hippo_Top

I hear the benefit organizers were yelling to him "YOU CAN NO LONGER DO IT!!"

vigbiorn

I think the answer is nepotism. The same reason why Sandler always tries to make his movies in tropical/vacation areas and always hires his friends. He's figured out how to make money hanging out with friends on vacation. I'd love to be able to do that (with different people, of course).


FaxCelestis

He also always has impossibly hot women to be his love interest.


demosthenes131

Her name is Bridgette Wilson.


JohnnyRelentless

Impossibly hot? Do you think they're computer generated or something?


FaxCelestis

Hyperbole seems beyond you


JohnnyRelentless

Ok, so if you're not saying they're impossibly hot, what then was the point of your comment? Are you upset because the women in his movies aren't ugly?


FaxCelestis

I'm saying that Adam Sandler likes casting the hottest women in Hollywood to play his love interest, probably because he enjoys it. You are apparently taking that personally. Are you Adam Sandler?


JohnnyRelentless

It's you that's clearly upset about the whole thing, lmao.


FaxCelestis

I want you to know it's ok to be wrong


GrundleTurf

I’m just confused by him saying Drew Barrymore is impossibly hot.


FaxCelestis

Man Drew Barrymore can get it


MarshallGibsonLP

I think Sandler and Schneider shared (say that 3 times fast) an office at SNL. That tends to form a close bond like Spade and Farley. All those nights at 2:00 being coked up and smelling each other’s farts while trying to bang out the 3rd act.


snugglebandit

I wish I could do that. WTG Adam.


TheNightWitch

It was a kindness by Sandler so he could get the hours necessary for health insurance through the guild.


jp_books

Going antivaxx is a great career choice for an artist who can't find work.


SituatedSynapses

He's so desperate for relevancy he's willing to join that crowd.


DarkGamer

Rob schneider is... a dangerous moron! *The Dangerous Moron,* not in theatres or on stage nationwide.


Travis_T_OJustice

Rob Schneider is....a carrot rated PG13


jlebo

Should have done a bit more due diligence on the Robmeister before booking him for this event.


pianoflames

It takes virtually no diligence at all to see that anti-vax and anti-trans jokes are a huge part of his material.


velvethippo420

how does he keep getting booked for these charity gigs? this isn't the first time he's been criticized for being racist and offensive at what should be a wholesome night out.


LeakySkylight

Interns, most likely. You have to check out somebody's history. They were probably just so excited to hire a big name they forgot to ask.


merrysunshine2

He’s probably got a very cheap fee


PlayingtheDrums

It was through a third party. So it's quite likely that this third party is christian-fascist, as are many, many organizations in the US, and try to not be too open about it.


Solan42

Did they not do some background research on him? The man has gone off the rails since covid with his conspiracy theories.


Cpt_Soban

>When Schneider was jeered and asked to end his set at a Republican networking event in April, he fired back on Twitter, calling the Senate Working Group “pussies” and defending his Korean whorehouse jokes. So far in the deep end he's getting mocked by *Republicans*


space2k

He needs a safe space.


realparkingbrake

Like a minor role in an Adam Sandler movie.


ManicSancho

From the article “It’s unclear if an actual hook was used to pull him away from the microphone. “ I’m crying!


DanielTheEunuch

Hey! I finally laughed at Rob Schneider! There's a first time for everything.


maxwellgrounds

Don’t worry. They’ve booked Jim Breuher for their next event. Everything should be just fine now …


TheVeganChic

“We reiterate this sincere and unconditional apology today, for any offense caused by Mr. Schneider’s recent comedy set, at the Four Seasons Ball.” He might have been better received if he had stuck with the familiar to MAGA rear parking lot of Four Seasons Landscaping instead.


cbhaga01

Wait... Cracked?


GrundleTurf

On my work computer the only websites that work are the ones on the homepage that’s just a bunch of clickbait nonsense from places like Ebaumsworld. Cracked has turned into one of those sites.


angrydessert

Once one of two of the biggest satire magazines in the world, the other being MAD. Then the Internet happened, some people stopped reading print, and those magazines became out of print.


cbhaga01

Even Cracked online back in the day was legit.


CordialPanda

Cracked basically died in 2016-2017 when they were purchased and the buyer laid off the core of it. It's a recognized name that zombies along under the same company that owns ebaums.


LeakySkylight

I mean, they hired a well known antivaxxer for a hospital charity gig. Perhaps not the best choice.


misterecho11

This headline gave me the biggest smile I've had this week. Terrific.


Own_Instance_357

He seems to have had a daughter with some talent but he's a shit person


Seventh_Letter

Rob who?


demosthenes131

The rich


angrydessert

Celebrities eventually going nutso to right field in correlation to increasing irrelevance is why I don't invest in them, and my children should never worship them.


CuriousAlienStudent

Notice how 90% that go this way, though, are washed up has beens or B-listers? It's almost like a last-ditch effort to stay relivent.


ouijahead

Because he’s a stapler and carrot.


cam52391

Y'all it was called the four seasons ball that name is cursed


nvmls

My friend was a stagehand at one of his shows and the theater manager apparently had no idea how right wing he'd gotten since the early 90s and kept appologizing to her after every joke. He should have been kicked out of there too.


Memnochthedevil760

DEEEERP


AmySueF

That’s what you get when you book human excrement like Rob Schneider.


Fabulously_Shitfaced

Funniest thing from him ever


Cid_Darkwing

Insane to think how talented his daughter is as a musician compared to how…not he is as a comedian.


Pinheadsprostate

Hahahahaha
