- “Schneider is a known transphobe and anti-vaxxer”
- “a Canadian medical nonprofit”
- 🤨
- just how many red flags did they ignore?
Yeah, I think Schneider is a dipshit and a bigot, but this one is on the organizers. Were they expecting “makin’ copieees” and shit?
Is this what happens when you choose from “entertainers” list by sorting by “price - low to high”? Is this really a surprise when you shop from the clearance rack?
Were these organizers looking at the list and saying “Hmm, Carrot Top is a bit too ‘high brow’ for our engagement. Who else do we have?”
I wonder if this was a case of someone seeing a “big name” but being clueless about his history and thinking, “I recognize his name, must mean he’s popular.” Then they hired him without vetting because he had a recognizable name and they believed he was therefore popular and “cool”. I mean, I know who Rob Schneider is because I’ve heard his name get thrown around a lot, but I had no idea he was a bigoted piece of shit because I’ve never (knowingly) watched any of his movies, nor do I keep up with celebrity gossip.
That said, it’s really stupid to hire people without vetting them in this day and age because people have become so insane and brainless that you have no clue what they might say when they get up on stage; but 10 years ago I could see you being able to get away with not vetting celebrities. As such, the person/people who approved him might have been +10 years out of touch and/or lazy.
Trust me when I say that since this was in Saskatchewan, it’s likely nobody checked because it never even crossed their minds that they should.
Truth, Saskatchewan tends to echo a lot of the transphobic legislation of the States. They passed a law requiring parents to give consent to use requested pronouns in schools. The place isn’t what one would call “trans issue forward”. I could totally see some ass backwards planning committee thinking it would be great before belatedly remembering the sort of people who attend these sorts of charity events actually tend to be fairly empathetic to their fellow humans…
Guess they learned that lesson the hard way then.
Yeah to be fair I love a lot of movies he’s in and reading about this makes me so disappointed. I’m sure there’s other actors and celebrities that I would also be disappointed about too.
Don’t sleep, Schneider is also:
-
Noooo, I genuinely had no idea he was a pos. Man that sucks I liked his shitty movies and now I can’t watch them for a nostalgic feel any more :( I am legit bummed.
Anti-vaxx jokes at a hospital fundraiser. That’s one of the stupider moves I’ve seen today.
Hiring him was the dumb move considering that it’s known he’s a reich-wing fuckwit
Rob doesn’t seem to be the smartest of people.
Rob Schneider. The SNL guy that had one character, then moved on to being remembered as “The Stapler” on South Park.
What an inspiration.
Edit. Now that I think about it, Schneider is actually being a true comedian through and through here. The golden rule is to always punch up, and Schneider is attempting to do just that.
I started Googling “Rob Schneider” and Google autocompleted “herp de derp” after that.
.
I mean, by many measures Alex Jones is more accomplished than me, but I’m very happy to be where I am instead of being Alex Jones.
You make a good point about Jones.
Edit: To be clear, I am agreeing with OP’s sentiment. There are multiple ways to measure success. Jones is a piece of shit and my heart goes out to those Sandy Hook families that had to put up with his bullshit. I’m glad they beat him in court.
Lets just cut all the way to the end and “Godwin’s law” for this.
Adolph Hitler is “more accomplished” than me, but I have zero desire to accomplish what he did. So I’m not sure “more accomplished” is really a good measure to try to aspire to.
Being really good at being a shithead is not the win you think it is.
The guy that’s been riding Adam Sandler’s coattails for 34 years? Oh yeah, he’s super accomplished.
I thought you were referring to how much he has to punch up, cuz he’s such a a scumbag(expanding on my joke). But looking at your account history… Wtf why are you even bothering?
Not if he’s an anti vaxxer and anti-trans.
So was Jimmy Saville. What’s your point?
At first I was sad reading that an actor I liked turned out to be a bigot, but then I realized I was confusing this dipshit with Roy Scheider and felt better.
Roy Scheider is, unfortunately, no longer with us. Rob Schneider is, unfortunately, still with us.
Calling him an “actor” is incredibly generous.
Hey, don’t forget smoking lamp!
I’m sorry, was that expensive piece?
Was that expensive piece?
You should never throw a bong, kid. Ever.
“You think you’re so cool cuz you pee with your penis!” - Rob Schneider responding to trans audience members who boo him
Oh, look, another old comedian jumps on the bigot bandwagon. It’s an incredibly transparent trend now for when they can’t write the same material that got them there in the first place, or when they are no longer working with the person that wrote their material for them.
Take a few shots at trans people, purely for publicity, then use that sudden boost from the circle jerking media to secure yourself a Netflix special, where you can talk about how you’ve been cancelled for an hour and a half for a big payout.
It’s just a marketing ploy for using peoples own outrage against them.
He’s been a conservative hack for a while (and he’s been a hack for his entire career), he just hid it better than, say, Victoria Jackson or something. This is him feeling too comfortable. I’m glad this crowd didn’t let him stay comfortable.
I’ll never forgive Adam Sandler for keeping Rob Schneider vaguely relevant by letting him ride his coattails for the last 30 years. “Makin’ coppppieeesss” stfu you bigoted hack.
If this means that he finally fades into obscurity and we never have to hear from him again, maybe it’s for the greater good.
Weird coming from a guy who basically played a transgender person in the Hot Chick and also is a stapler.
Imagine starring in a movie where your character is desperately trying to explain to loved ones that they’re trapped in the wrong body and don’t understand how to navigate this gender that they find themselves in and then come out in the other side being transgender. Like, he’s so media illiterate that he doesn’t empathize with his own characters. So then it was just hateful jokes the whole time, I guess. Dude stopped maturing at like 15.
He was at his best as a carrot.
Lmao did they have no idea who he was when they booked him? Did someone hire him as a joke? I don’t get why he was even there.
There are a quite a lot of nursing and medical admin staff in healthcare who are rabidly antivax. At least in America, so I assume it’s at least partially true in Canada to. I wonder if that had something to do with this clearly terrible pairing of organization and washed-up clown ‘comedian’.
I didn’t even need to know he is a bigot to know he sucks, because he has sucked for a long, long, looooooong time.
dude isn’t even funny in the first place. he can’t do a Dave Chappell. Pander to the bigoted masses with a modicum of talent. Now if Dave Chappell wasn’t a pos he could easily be the funniest man in comedy instead of a fringe washup but here we are. Used to love them both for their niech humor but lets be honest Rob was only ever funny cause he was proped up by mid Adam Sandler scripts.
I went to see Rob Schneider perform comedy round 2015. Tickets were free for a Saturday night. It was at 80% capacity, which is unusual since it’s always sold out.
He was pretty rough and attempted to be edgy. He already had gay jokes and there was polite laughter, but nothing compared to the professional comedians who opened for him.
Honestly I thought he’d quit after a few years.
Why is Dave chappell is a POS? Did he do something awful? I didn’t follow him because I don’t find his jokes funny, it’s mostly complaints or trash talk.
Nice, you got down voted for asking a question
His shows are pretty much him making fun of trans people and whining bc people call him on his shit for doing nothing but making fun of trans people.
Here’s some excepts from The Closer in 2022. I watched this begrudgingly to prove to a buddy of mine that he was, in fact, being transphobic (said buddy is no longer buddy), and I haven’t watched anything of his shit since but it’s probably just him whining even more now:
-
Every time I come out onstage, I be scared. I be lookin’ around the crowd, searching. For knuckles and Adam’s apples to see where the threats might be coming from.
-
And then she hikes her skirt up and she pulls a real live, meaty dick out!
-
If I was honest, I wouldn’t have fallen for it. I’d have just looked at the picture like, “Look at that big chiseled jawline, that big thick Joe Rogan neck. Is that a dude? Is your daughter a man?” Can’t say that shit. It’s really annoying.
-
trans-bitch from the picture.
-
A couple of more drinks and these fellows are gonna start asking her for some pussy, she might not have.
-
I was careful to call her a bitch, ’cause I didn’t want to blow her cover.
-
“Well.” I am a girl now, n*gger. You must treat me as such.
-
Gender is a fact.
-
Now… I am not saying that to say, that trans women aren’t women. I’m just sayin, that those pussies that they got… You know what I mean?
-
I’m not saying it is not pussy, but that’s like Beyond Pussy or Impossible Pussy. You know what I mean? It tastes like pussy but that’s not quite what it is, is it? It’s not blood, that is beet juice.
Idk, kinda unfair to just post excerpts, his sets are stories with a point.
What sort of non-bigoted story do you think capable of containing all those particular posted punchlines?
I mean I’ve watched them. It’s not that bad
I watched The Closer. It is in fact that bad. I’m not giving him the time for anything else
Idk why that’s the argument his defenders make, that we wouldn’t criticize it if we watched it. Maybe you’re skinnermeming yourself. “I can’t be wrong it’s the trans supporters that are wrong!”
Do you think trans people think those jokes are not that bad?
It seems more like you don’t care that they’re hurtful.
Chappelle makes fun of everyone, sounds like you’re just mad because this time it was about you.
-
He insults transgenders in routines and bitches about people calling him out for it. He also throws out stupid stereotypes about various other groups but they aren’t generally direct insults like with trans people. He tops it off with complaining about cancel culture cause apparently he can insult and call other groups out for just living their life, but if somebody calls him out on that crap it’s bad.
“Transgenders” is not the way to refer to trans people, but thank you for the support.
The first rule of comedy is, “Know your audience.”
It’s clear he did this for some other reason. I’m assuming he is just starved for attention.
Preaches hate. Receives hate.
