The Razzie nominees

Complete lists

I have to disqualify this year’s entire competition by invoking the Pecker Rule.

In my senior year of college we had our traditional vote for the douchebag of the year. My roommate, the Pecker, who was one of the election officials, tore up one of the ballots because none of the voter’s top ten choices included Fat Joe Carlson. This voter was disqualified for his obvious and complete ignorance, given that Carlson was not just a big, fat, fucking douchebag, but was the biggest, fattest, fuckingest, douchebaggiest guy in the history of Fordham University, which was no small achievement, because Donald Trump had preceded us there.

Invoking that precedent, I have to invalidate the Razzie ballot for its failure to nominate James Corden.

  1. How much of a disappointment is this “comedian”.

    Craig Ferguson, on his worst day, was phenomenally better than this sad sack of shit.

    Creepy old man flirting not withstanding…

    1. I really have a lot of respect for Craig Ferguson. His first few shows were just awful, but he worked through all the glitches and gradually developed a format that worked for his range of talents and his personal sense of humor. By the time he quit, his shows were not only funny, but also consistently interesting and even thought-provoking.

      1. He was my favorite talk show host. He was funny and he enjoyed what he was doing. And he realized that making fun of ordinary people whose lives had taken some weird awful and very public turn, while it might get a laugh, was a lousy thing to do to people who were in a mess. He called himself out on it onstage and stopped doing. (Unless the person involved turned out to be a relentless publicity hound, like the Octo-mom.) And he did some of the strangest, most distinctive comedy since Ernie Kovacs, IMO.

      2. He was, and thanks to YouTube, still is my favourite talk show host.

        In the end, he was just doing what amused him most, which is the best way to host. He let the audience in on the joke.

        He didn’t pander to corporate shills, didn’t treat his audience like morons, didnt read scripts word for word with punchlines so heavily telegraphed and lame, with such over the top reactions to crappy jokes backed up by sycophantic sidekicks… everything so structured that you have no.idea what they actually think.

        Great host

        1. Not your usual late night host. His May 2013 interview with Stephan Fry is a must see.

          From Wikipedia…

          “At age 16, Ferguson left high school and began an apprenticeship to be an electronics technician at a local factory of American company Burroughs Corporation.

          His first visit to the United States was in 1975, when he was 13, to visit an uncle who lived on Long Island, near New York City. When he moved to New York City in 1983, he worked in construction in Harlem. Ferguson later became a bouncer at the nightclub Save the Robots before returning to Scotland.”

          1. So THAT’S why Feruguson’s sidekick was a robot! Well, a robot skeleton.
