RateItAll: The Opinion Network

Another cast member that introduced new things. His musical infused "weekend update spots" where histerical and unforgettable. Operaman was genious. And then theres Gap girls another one of my alltime favorite sketches with reoccuring characters. He was also part of my favorite SNL era(farley, sandler, hartman, spade, etc) so I may be partial

Not versatile enough to grab a five. He did some great things though. I like Opera Man.

I just don't get it. This guy is not that funny.

I've yet to see him in anything where he's actually funny, or displays even a modicum of talent. Along with other "entertainment" ciphers like Julia Roberts and Britney Spears, he sort of personifies the banality that American culture has descended to. In the past, you had to have some sort of talent before you became famous. Or, if you were talentless, you had to have an otherworldly beauty or sexiness. Now, we've come to a point where almost anybody can become "famous". I guess some might see that as a triumph for egalitarianism, but if you enjoy quality in your movies, your music, your books...it's nothing short of depressing to contemplate. What's happened to us? We were the culture of jazz, of rock music, of Bogie and Cagney, of Billie Holiday, of Edgar Allen Poe and Mark Twain...now we're the culture of Britney and Adam and Stephen King and John Grisham. I certainly don't have the knowledge or intelligence to offer a cogent explanation of why this has happened in America, but I know now that every Hanukkah season, without fail, I'm going to be "treated" to countless repititions of Sandler's "Hanukkah Song", along with John and Yoko singing "Happy Christmas (War is Over)". Difference being, of course, that Lennon had immense talent (even if Yoko didn't).

Perhaps the unfunniest "funny-guy" in the history of show business. Has made millions of dollars from acting like an infantile dinglenuts, and for some reason people just seem to lap it up!! Oh well.. thats today's showbusiness I guess.

When I was 12,
I wanted to marry this man.
Nothing much has changed.

Effin hillarious..<3

This guy is one of the funniest comedians ever!! Some people might think his movies are stupid, but I think they're funny! XD XD XD!!

not very funny, stick to drama

He's extremely funny, with a humor reminiscent of Beavus and Buthead. His humor tends to be immature, yes, but that's the fun of it. Some people can't stand him, of course, but I believe that those people get offended too easily.

Some good stuff. good funny songs. and opraman classic

I never really found him funny on SNL. He certainly didn't stand out as someone who would go on to such enormous success. He is pretty funny in some of his movies though, and he seems like a real decent person, so good for him.

sophomoric humor, but there is more than meets the eye. punch drunk love was great. also, his snl characters were pretty good. his cd's are funny. not one of the best, but among the better cast members.

Sometimes he can be funny-more often he's just annoying.

One of the lowests of the low humor. Talentless idiot.

Probably the funniest cast member ever on this show. I like the fact that he gets under the skin of prissy people who think they are too mature for his humor.

One of the rare cast members who left SNL and made box office hits. He still continues to thrive as an actor today due to his immense talent and creativity.

Better since he left SNL. Has some promise as a rocker.

Adam sandler always plays the same character, with Waterboy being the one exception. He is always the irresponsible idiot. In Happy Gilmore, Big Daddy, Billy Madison, he is always the same and not funny.

What is the big deal about Adam Sandler?!

The best work of his career was on this show.

Adam Sandler is proof that being type-cast isn't always the worst thing that can happen to your career.

3 words: love Gap Girls.

Every character he plays is the SAME character. He seems to be taking a turn toward more believable roles, but I would like to see him move away from silly into serious.

I don't get his humor. I guess it's because I went to college.

He had his moments. One of the better players who was around at the start of the downward spiral. But, if his style is what people wish the show would go back to, they're all crazy.

Sandler's time on SNL was probably the highlight of his career, and his breakthrough as well. His songs that he sang on "Weekend Update" were hilarious, espescially "Oprah Man". He seemed to fit in perfectly with the late 80s and early 90s cast.

sometimes very funny, but usually reverted to sophmoric garbage

not as good on snl as cd's and movies

A very creative comedian who can also come up with snappy lyrics in his comedy songs. Him and Farley saved SNL from getting totally dull in the early 90s.

Adam Sandler is the coolest!!! I have seen all of his movies except goin overboard and they are all awesome, especially Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore they are classics and 8 Crazy Nights is goin to be off the chain. You can't disagree that Adam Sandler is the greatest comedian ever in the history of the world!!!!!

He's alright, but im getting tired of this guy. Move over already

This rating is based solely on his work on SNL. He was great as Opera Man and Cajun Man. Also those hilarious little diddies about his red hooded sweatshirt. However, if we are talking about his movie career, I give it NO STARS. His movies are not funny. They suck.

He was hilarious on Saturday Night Live! I wish he would still be on the show every once in a while.

Adam Sandler is awesome! He is one of the funniest guys ever. All the movies he has acted in were great. Both Happy Gilmore and the Wedding Singer were hilarious. His CD They're All Gonna Laugh at You is great. His performance of "Red Hooded Sweatshirt" on SNL is classic.

I'm not a big Sandler fan, "Happy Gilmore" didn't do much for me, but looking back on some of his SNL years, I see he had a funny way of getting his jokes across. A man of many faces with a usually good sense of humor.

I generally love saturday night live, and the cast is usually exquisite new young talents. This leads me to wonder what person made the grave oversite of letting this bufoon on the cast. Sandler represents the downfall of the show. It shows that even a great show like SNL isn't perfect. When sandler came on he brought with him a new comedic era, on SNL....a low-brow era. Though this was much wanted by many special interests groupswho were upset that never before had a neaderthal man been allowed to be on network television. I despise Adam Sandler, his time spent on SNL, and every movie he's been in. Here's to hoping he grows up!

Can anyone say repetitive one note characters? I know Andy can.

Nobody better

Adam Sandler was really good when he was on SNL. He always played a crazy, goofy character. I liked him as Operaman and The Gap Girl. He carried on his characters very well, and he had some really funny lines.

This is about the time I stopped watching. BOOORRRIIINNNGGG!!

Adam is the King. He Rules !!!! and he's sexxxxy.....

Sandler's immature comic genius was viewed as boorish by those with pretenses of what comedy should be. Opera Man. Cajun Man. He additions to weekend update were often the highlight of the newscast. Comic genius a good setting.

He has to be one of the funniest men alive. His movies are always funny and entertaining. I feel he is very inventive. He has to be on SNL more so that the ratings go up.

Adam Sandler is hilarious. I wish he were still on the show so I could see him every week instead of only when his movies come out. His CDs are great, and I can't wait for Little Nicky to come out.

Adam Sandler is hella funny. I remember him from MTV with Colin Quinn. I'm glad he's getting all of the fame he has seen. But in those interviews he has been getting weirder and weirder (coke?).

He is so creative and has so many different talents. He always has a new character to share on TV. I watch him all the time.

This guy is really funny as everybody knows. But, I've watched a lot of SNL and he is not used as well as he could be. However, no matter what he is doing he is still very funny.

Adam Sandler is great at making fun of people. He is funny only because he is consistent. I gave him a 4 instead of a 5 because he doesn't really do "new" stuff.

Not only does Adam Sandle have talent in comedy, he has talent in other areas as well. He does pretty good music skits and performs pretty well on screen. So far, he's made pretty good movies, including Waterboy. I look forward to his new movie coming out.

Adam Sandler is cool. He is funny all around. Beside SNL he was funny in Waterboy, Big Daddy and Happy Gilmore. He gets corny, but somehow to me, that makes him even funnier.

Wonderful! A SNL great with tons of skill. He's so good at all his impersonations and really knows how to laugh at himself. He has many skills in the art of comedy.

Adam Sandler was good for SNL because he was a musician who was able to write his own songs. All of his songs were good because they were relevant to what was going on at the time. He also included many sources for his songs.

Adam is greatly amusing, but his routine has dried up. I loved him as a kid, but his overexposure has turned me off. As a kid, he was really funny, but as an adult, he's annoying. Still one of the great cast members though.

Adam Sandler is HILARIOUS! When he played Opera Man on the weekly world news report I could not stop laughing. He went on to make a bunch of really good movies that I now have on video. I would dare to say he is one of the best comedians around.

Adam Sandler is one of the funniest comedians I know. His movies are really funny, not just dumb. In his movie Big Daddy, he played a funny role, but a serious one too, which many comedians don't do.

He is so funny. I wish he was still on the show cause it was really funny when he was the Opera Man on the news show. Although all his acts are stupid funny, it is still really worth watching because it's really funny.

Adam Sandler is hilarious. His never grow up attitude is evident in his comdey and his voice changes are hilarious. He gets totally into his characters and sometimes overacts and overdramatizes things, but since it is intentional, it makes it all the more funny. My favorite sketches include Opera Man, Schlitz Gay Beer, the Gap Girls etc.

Adam Sandler has a witty comedic style that appeals to the child in all of us. Some might call it stupid humor that appeals to the members of society that have a low IQ. On the contrary, I believe that anybody who can just loosen up a little can really enjoy his ingenius timing.

I liked Adam Sandler the most in Billy Madison which is my favortie movie. I liked Big Daddy a lot and thought it was cool that Adam could right a script and star in a movie. Also, his CD's have very funny songs on them, like the Hannukah song.

The worst comedian I've ever seen. He doesn't know how to make people laugh. His sense of humor is too cheap, it works more with the ridiculous than with creative things. His last movie was the worst ever film. His imitations of old guys are terrible.

Adam is the man. To me he makes the funniest damn SNL movies. I can hella (totally) relate to him. He was funny on SNL, when he did song and stuff. The only thing that stops me from giving him a 5 is that he could never keep a straight face when Farley would bust out. Sandler's best character was when he played the music event guy, Bill Graham, on the news.

I think that Adam Sandler's comedy is dumb, uninteresting and not funny at all. I have a good sense of humor, and I find many comedians are funny. Adam Sandler is not one of them! His humor is stupid- talking like an idiot, being an idiot and doing idiotic things is not humor.

Adam Sandler is hilarious! From the classics like "Oprah Man" and "the guy who made a hat out of a lobster and a stick" (i forget the name of that character, but he was hilarious) to Happy Gilmour and The Wedding Singer...ABSOLUTE FUNNINESS!!!!!1

My all-time favorite SNL cast member, he is hilarious, and has done an excellent job proving himself in the movie industry!!

Stupidity and non-humor.

Along with Chris Rock, he was the funniest cast member

His songs and Opera Man..Italian restaraunt..classic SNL skits. Reminiscent of earlier years. He is a riot.

I tried to disklike Adam Sandler on SNL, but I couldn't do it. The funniest skit I saw him in was set in an Italian restaurant, where Dana Carvey was the waiter, and Sandler played a bus boy (eventually dressed only in some black, speedo-like underwear). Kristie Alley (the guest host) was eating at the restaurant with a date (Kevin Nealon?), and the restaurant employees kept getting more and more physically friendly with her, until, at the end, Carvey was licking her entire face, and Sandler was basically on top of another customer. One of the best skits of that year.

Much better doing live sjits than he is an actor ihis slew of movies. He always mixed well with the cast of colleagues on the show.
