Takes un to know un

You've gotta love show folk.

Comedian (and I use that term advisedly) Rob Schneider took out a full-page ad in the Hollywood Reporter to lambaste L.A. Times film critic Patrick Goldstein for ripping Schneider's movies. In the ad, Schneider calls Goldstein "unfunny."

"Unfunny." Hmm.

"Unfunny," from the guy who milked a Saturday Night Live sketch that was humorous the first dozen times you saw it into an entire career.

"Unfunny," from the guy who played comic foil to that noted thespian Sly Stallone in Judge Dredd.

"Unfunny," from the guy who made two movies about Deuce Bigalow, Male Gigolo.

"Unfunny," from the guy with, like, nine Adam Sandler flicks on his curriculum vitae.

"Unfunny," from the guy whose film The Animal stank so wretchedly Columbia Pictures had to invent a critic named David Manning to give it positive reviews.

I guess if anyone in Hollywood knows "unfunny," Rob Schneider is that man.

Hey, Rob: You should be thanking your lucky stars that anyone in the entertainment press still remembers that you exist, never mind actually bothers to write about you and your dubious cinematic oeuvre. That you're still getting acting gigs while people with genuine talent are bussing tables at Spago — now that's unfunny.

Take out an ad about that, why don't you.
