When did Steve Coogan stop being funny?

[headvoid]

I need to know.

I believe it was 2008, as he attempted to try stand up again and got panned.

Personally his choice of now doing movies doesn't suit him as a writer.

When do I mention the drugs?

I can understand I will be generally lambasted for this opinion, as there are a number of rabid coogan fans on this forum.

Watch "The Other Guys" and then tell me he is still funny.

Well I'm sure he didn't write or direct The Other Guys so I wouldn't count that as him being "unfunny". The Parole Officer was shit (other than a topless Lena Headey) but that was years ago and he did funny stuff again after that. SO I DON'T KNOW?

About the time he MURDERED OWEN WILSON IN COLD BLOOD, imho.

I blame the film "A night at the museum" it seemed to render a whole swathe of comedians unfunny for the entire duration of the movie, and possibly had longer lasting effects.

I blame "Night at the Museum 2". The first one was funny.

Seriously?

I love the Other Guys. His role in it wasn't meant to be that funny

Wasn't he in Tropic Thunder too?

 

[CaptainWacky]

He was alright in Topic Thunder. He died pretty early on. I couldn't undestand a word Robert Downey Junior said.

 

[Tisiphone]

Tropic Thunder was okaaaaaay. Needed more Bill Hader.

After the incredible stuff he produced when he was producing comedy for UK Television, "OK" is about all we can muster.

I expected more of a fight. Tropic Thunder was awful apart from the excellent Tom Cruise, who as we all know is the greatest actor of our generation.

HE KILLED A WINEHOUSE!!!!

 

[CaptainWacky]

Yes, but he didn't produce or have any creative input in any of these Hollywood films so it's not really fair to compare them to early stuff. Did anyone ever watch Saxondale? It was...well, okay.
