Find the Jar-Jar in a Movie

[Senator Pleasury]

I don't hate Jar Jar. So this thread doesn't work for me.

You wanna become the Jar Jar of this thread?

Jar-Jar Binks gets a lot of hate, but he was the only well written character in Phantom Menace lol.

That's because George was trying to force us to like him.

I should also mention the Jar Jar Binks of the James Bond franchise, Sheriff JW Pepper. I cringe every time he appears on screen. Nothing says James Bond like redneck Southern cops, boy!

Then pretty much the same exact character shows up (played by the same actor and everything) in Superman II. So he gets to screw up TWO franchises.

Personally speaking, I think Boss Nass and Dexter are ten times worse than Jar Jar.

But Jar Jar is something of a symbolic archetype, you can say. Something to avoid.

Meesa wanna!

 

[Rowsdower!]

Glad someone brought up Richard Pryor in Superman III. He was one I forgot to mention. Talk about a franchise jumping the shark.

 

[Drizzle]

Personally speaking, I think Boss Nass and Dexter are ten times worse than Jar Jar.

Who the hell is Dexter?

 

[Senator Pleasury]

Meesa like!

Working already.

Patrick Wilson in The A-Team. It's like every other line he had was a terrible quip or joke.

 

[Senator Pleasury]

Eddie Murphy and Jack Black in probably every movie they've been in.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Definitely not Eddie Murphy in every movie. He's actually funny in his older movies.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

Eddie Murphy was the funniest man alive in the 80s.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

Julius Jones from Vampire in Brooklyn

Ezel from Friday

Evil Ed from Fright Night

 

[Octoberist]

Eddie Murphy and Jack Black in probably every movie they've been in.

I'm going to have to join the others: 80's Eddie Murphy was pretty darn good.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

48 Hours, Trading Places, Beverly Hills Cop 1 and 2, Coming to America, and Raw.

80s Eddie Murphy was excellent.

 

[StarLord]

Eddie Murphy and Jack Black in probably every movie they've been in.

 

[Slushy]

Jim Carrey's Riddler

Skids and Mudflap

Will Ferrell in almost every movie he's in.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Totally agree with Skids and Mudflap in Transformers: ROTF. The movie sucked anyway, but they were a big part of why.

Also, I'd have to add Shia LaBeouf in Transformers: Dark of the Moon. I thought he was actually one of the best parts of the first film and one of the few tolerable things in the second one, but it was like he was a completely different, super-annoying character in the third. I literally HATED him in that movie.

 

[smallville fan]

Haha was just about to mention Transformers 2, pretty much 80% of the cast.

 

[StarLord]

There aren't any likeable human characters in Transformers: DotM.

 

[MrMaooz]

Shia screaming in the room during ROTF is freaking hilarious.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

I thought "the Kid" from The Matrix sequels was the Jar Jar of the series.

 

[Schlosser85]

The kid in Iron Man 3 really annoyed me and they gave him way too much screentime.

Also, good call on Sheriff J. W. Pepper. So out-of-place in a Bond movie.

I liked Azog though.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

JW Pepper is Jar-Jar way before Jar-Jar. I'd argue he was more annoying.

 

[Octoberist]

Yeah, if the kid was written better and was more heartfelt, it would've a more charming relationship between Stark and the Kid.
