i was talking with some friends the other night and the topic turned to people/things that are exceedingly unpopular, to the point where at the moment NO ONE seems to like them. we started listing them and came up with the comedian carrot top, the star wars character jar-jar binks, and the animal rights group PETA. what are some other underdogs you can think of, people etc. whom you've NEVER heard anyone defend?

what about paulie shore and gallagher?

i think i'll try collecting a bunch of them and then start a poll where you can pick an underdog you think got a bad rap. i personally think carrot top has his moments, dammit! and i've always wanted to go onto a star wars message board and launch into a spirited, passionate defense of jar jar just to see what kind of flame war i can stoke up.

ohhh I thought you meant Underdog..who, by the way, I had a crush on as a youngster.

Underdogs?  NASA, Jimmy Carter?,The Bad News Bears, 1980 US Hockey team.


and dude, Carrot Top is a face-lifted, unfunny loser.  Get with the program.

he was good on space ghost: coast to coast. of course that's a show where bad celebrities tend to shine and good ones tend to get their bums handed to them.

Granted and I think its good...(creepy though his facelift is) ; but i won't change my mind about someone just cuz they took lightheartedly a verbal thrashing from Triumph, The Insult Comic Dog. 

So far I haven't recognised any of the people you've named except Jimmy Carter and NASA!  There must be some international ones?

i deally it should be someone NOBODY defends. in which case jar jar binks might be the only real example. a lot of people love britney and debbie gibson and maybe even paris?

Ironically enough, Thatcher killed his career as he couldn't impersonate her...

Mind you, he had trouble impersonating anybody!

Believe it or not, his show was the mainstay (for some years) of the BBC's Christmas Night schedule, held in the same regard as Morecambe & Wise's yuletide offerings!

But whereas you'll still see repeats of Eric 'n Ern, Yarwood stays in the vaults (thankfully!)

He's not quite universally hated.

Could he be an underdog?

If he had an approval rating of 0%.

There's a conundrum for you.

He would probably be less extreme than Bush.  :)

Girl, you know it's true.  ;D

Vanilla Ice had the artistic integrity of a professional safecracker and Milli Vanilli were a pair of posing puppets. It was great watching them panic live on stage when the music jumped and kept repeating itself. Their manager Frank Farian was trying to be too clever after successfully putting his own voice on Boney M tracks and replacing himself with a more aesthetic black dancer.

Also successful was Black Box, the lead singers was Loleata Holloway and Martha Wash while the model that took her place and lipsynched it all was called Catherine Quinol.

However, I do like Milli Vanilli's music and I maintain that I am not going to rubbish it because it wasn't done by the people I thought it was - I like it.

I like him.

me too.

On a completely different line of thinking -- how about new coke? ever meet anybody who was like, "I was totally fine with new coke! I thought it was a good idea to replace old coke, everybody was totally tired of it anyway."

I personally drank new coke pretty often when it was out.

Oh, yeah, I've seen those. Heh... Some are really funny!

Steve Guttenberg. I always thought he was great in the Police Academy movies and I've never understood why he's gotten such a bum rap.

whoa, the underdog thread. i'd totally forgotten about this.

steve guttenberg has a great part in the 70s disaster movie "rollercoaster" from before he was a big star.

Adolf Hitler.

Biggest underdog ever right, here's why.

Think about this, he comes from a pretty much nothing background right, does his best to help a country who's totally in the pits, real working class hero. He sorts things out, has to use some injenuity and guile, all of a sudden the old boy's network comes down on him like a sack of sh.it.#

Jerks.

It was his role in The Boys From Brazil that did it....or maybe his roller skating in Thank God It's Friday.


My underdog is Craig Ferguson

Donald Trump? (Loser with a lot of money)
Bob Newhart (I like him but he is always the underdog)

That's all I can think of right now.

;D It's okay, there were movies like Howard the Duck that are total bombs, but I use to watch them anyway. I think this may be due to the fact that back in the day when you didn't have a million channels to pick from and had to pay per view for select films (if you didn't have HBO), then you were stuck watching Howard the Duck or Harry and the Hendersons on Channel 12 in the afternoons.

Kinda like how I can watch The Fat Albert movie again..and again.. and again.. and again.. over and over and over.

I'll be back in a few years, I realise I need to check myself in to a psychiatric institute.

*Pauly Shore: silly, low-intelligence humor, but seemed like a cool "dumb surfer dude" in his 1992-'96 movie heyday
*Gallagher: Who else does Sledge-O'Matic? ;D
*Jerry Springer: Nice and insightful ex-politician, unfortunately associated with the content of his crazy TV show
