Dax Shepard, talentless idiot

Dax Shepard is a former drug addict from Livonia, Michigan who managed to bumble his way into such iconic roles as "Guy who acts stupid in Idiocracy", and "Guy who acts stupid in C.H.I.P.S", and "Guy throwing up at party". This guy managed to marry Hollywood darling Kristen Bell and together the two of them create an insufferable miasma of unfunny dross.

But, The_Continental, why the distain for Dax Shepard? He's a good dude on paper! He loves his wife! He's a recovering addict who talks openly about his experience! He's written, directed, and starred in movies! He's got great stories!

Well here's the thing. Everything about this dude is so loving contrived. He's made his career staying in the spotlight by constantly marketing his average, lovely, talent-less life. He managed to marry someone way more famous than himself, and uses her as a springboard to keep himself in the public eye. They constantly post about their "teehee hilarious quirky marriage!" and I would honestly rather guzzle piss than see any more of it.

Everything he touches is so goddamn unfunny. Idiocracy was kind of good despite him, but is pretty average as far as Mike Judge projects go. His IMDB is just flop, after flop, after flop.

Worst of all, he's painfully dull. I'm watching the Hot Ones episode with him right now, and its so boring I dumped hot sauce into my eye. The guy can't help but name drop people more famous than himself, and I challenge you to find an interview where he doesn't allude to his deeply troubled past. He's not the first guy to monetize his own battle with addiction, and good for him for (kind of) beating it, but getting off of drugs doesn't make you a good person. The guy often references his "Detroit upbringing" but is the son of wealthy automotive executives and attended schools miles and miles away from the city.

Anyways I'm just trying to pin down why this guy sucks in such a vague and general way.

Hot ones sucks. I had to find some sort of media of his to whip up some fresh disgust.

I'll have to take your word for it. The idea of his sea cucumber brain interviewing anyone doesn't really excite me.

Full disclosure this thread is a direct result of my wife and I having extremely differing opinions on the man. She was watching some insagram or tiktok story of him and Kirsten Bell and they were talking about their dog. I was just like "that guy is a talentless boring hack".

I guess that really depends on the metrics. If you call producing and acting in 2 decades worth of commercial and critical dumpster-fires, despite having nearly unlimited financial and personal access through your celebrity spouse "accomplished", then sure.

edit: it seems you've come around thank you for seeing things my way.

Id say I generally have a pretty sunny outlook. I have made a few threads about dumb pop culture stuff I hate but I think the majority of what I post is constructive.

I like cooking for groups, volunteering in my community, Dostoyevsky, all kinds of music, pumping iron (the movie and the act thereof). I like Goontube, beer, and exploring Queensland with mai waife. I like Urban Planning and Economics, the history of cities, I like boats and would like to live on one someday maybe.

Getting mad at a person talking about themselves when they're being interviewed is hilarious, but not in the Dax Shepard way where a person says something funny intentionally.
