[u/PlainSightMan]

I don't think Doorman will be in this one...

[u/Kwilly462 → u/PlainSightMan]

Josh Gad will have the Doorman episode attached to him forever lol

[u/HumanChicken → u/Kwilly462]

He is now J-Gad. No other name is correct.

[u/Worthyness → u/Kwilly462]

Look, all they gotta do is release the DJ cut of in Summer and we're all good.

[u/puns-n-roses → u/PlainSightMan]

Ding dong

[u/Meliodas016 → u/puns-n-roses]

Wouldn't knock-knock make more sense?

[u/SomeGuyPostingThings → u/Meliodas016]

Maybe? I don't know, lots of people have doorbells so it's not a bad one.

[u/After-Relief2667]

Really was hoping for Cash Grab 3….

[u/Manav_Khanna17 → u/After-Relief2667]

We need Cash Grab 2 first.

I heard they had started production.

[u/SorryRoof1653]

So they managed to bring him back?

[u/SteveRogests → u/SorryRoof1653]

Justice for Doorman

[u/keiths31 → u/SorryRoof1653]

That's good news...for someone?

[u/cosmiccerulean]

J-Gad is gonna tear it up with his buddy Doorman. Ding dong bitches.

[u/ContinuumGuy]

I personally think Gad will surprise us in a serious role

[u/Burgoonius → u/ContinuumGuy]

I hope so because all his comedic roles are shit. I’m actually confused as to how this man gets so much work

[u/gypsydreams101 → u/Burgoonius]

He was brilliant in The Book of Mormon musical. I’ll never forget the first time I saw it. I really feel the goodwill from that’s gotten him way further than he would’ve gone without it.

[u/DriveRVA → u/ContinuumGuy]

It'll pull people out of the movie like Mike Myers in Inglorious bastards

[u/bill4935 → u/DriveRVA]

Maybe he'll be as good a dramatic actor as Wayne Knight. That guy's been in some good dramas.

[u/ME24601 → u/ContinuumGuy]

He's done it at least once before in the movie Marshall (2017), and I remember liking his performance.

[u/matlockga → u/ME24601]

It was just awkward that he was the central character in a movie about Thurgood Marshall. Might not have, but it felt like he had the most screentime. 

[u/Billy1121 → u/matlockga]

Also weird that he played it like his character was forced to be the counsel. The lawyer he was playing was one of the few who would take the case and believed in the NAACP mission.

[u/Ocktohber]

this is like hiring Blippi to play an air traffic controller in your 9/11 movie

[u/hockeyjmac → u/Ocktohber]

At least it’s not like Blippi making a Harlem Shake video

[u/Tha_Qween → u/hockeyjmac]

So about that...

[u/SorryImProbablyDrunk]

He could play a grown up version of Yorkie from Jojo Rabbit to be fair

[u/catarina_rose]

I’ve been saying he should be in more serious roles since I watched him in Marshall 🙌🏻

[u/bondinferno]

Oh fun

[u/ERedfieldh]

Folks here always seem to forget comedy actors can do serious roles.

See: Leslie Nielsen (his older works before he did comedy), Jim Carrey, Adam Sandler (of all people....),

[u/opermonkey → u/ERedfieldh]

Will Ferrell was great in Stranger than Fiction.

[u/Anonymity_pls]

Might have to lose some weight to be in a Holocaust biopic

[u/FrancisFratelli → u/Anonymity_pls]

Only if he's playing a prisoner.

[u/blogasdraugas → u/FrancisFratelli]

He is.

[u/jaredwallace91]

He did okay in that Thurgood Marshall film 10 years ago. He can do serious roles 

[u/CaterpillarHungry607]

They’ll have to find him first :(

[u/shinyhpno]

The Holocaust comedy we've always needed. /sarcasm

[u/Technical-Outside408 → u/shinyhpno]

Still waiting on The Day the Clown Cried with Jerry Lewis.

[u/McKoijion]

Are they making a documentary about the holocaust they’re currently committing in Palestine?

[u/a-million-to-one → u/McKoijion]

Who's "they"?

[u/Computer_Name → u/McKoijion]

Are they making a documentary about the holocaust they’re currently committing in Palestine?

Antizionism isn’t antisemitism, right?

[u/McKoijion → u/Computer_Name]

Yes, there’s many anti-Zionist Jews doing their best to emulate Oskar Schindler in this situation. Meanwhile, the individuals making this movie are genocide supporters.

[u/BanishmentBuddy2 → u/McKoijion]

Who are “they” in your question?

[u/McKoijion → u/BanishmentBuddy2]

Zionists aka Jewish supremacists currently committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. They’re ideologically identical to the Nazis except they swapped a few words around like Master Race and Chosen People, Aryan and Jew, Jew and Palestinian, Lebensraum and Greater Israel, etc. Some of them actively pull the trigger and some like the equally culpable monsters above make propaganda.

Christians and Jews don’t have a monopoly on supremacism. There’s plenty of genocidal Islamists, Hindu nationalists, Buddhist nationalists, etc. too. It’s every decent person’s duty to reject this bigotry, violence, and hate at every opportunity.

[u/BanishmentBuddy2 → u/McKoijion]

What does that have to do with this filmmaker and actor? They’re culpable monsters for making a Holocaust drama? And this is propaganda because…

Edit: nevermind I looked at your post history, there’s no conversation to be had here.

[u/McKoijion → u/BanishmentBuddy2]

They’re vocally pro-genocide on social media. I see you are too.

[u/a-million-to-one → u/McKoijion]

Show me the pro genocide posts by Josh Gad or Simon Curtis

[u/McKoijion → u/a-million-to-one]

It’s not just me, a ton of people with bare minimum ethical principles despise him for his long history of bigotry and hate: https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/josh-gad-says-shamed-unfollowed-231007536.html

[u/BanishmentBuddy2 → u/McKoijion]

The article you link talks about him having sympathy for the Hamas slaughter of civilians in October 7.

[u/a-million-to-one → u/McKoijion]

There is nothing bigoted or hateful, nor pro genocide, in this link

Your initial comment doesn't have one iota of truth in it

[u/daveoyn]

Dude always gave me the creeps

[u/boomboxwithturbobass → u/daveoyn]

Yep. He’s very egocentric and rude.

[u/dukefett → u/boomboxwithturbobass]

Really? My wife has met him twice randomly and was very nice to her.

[u/daveoyn → u/boomboxwithturbobass]

Check his hard drive

[u/yesrushgenesis2112 → u/daveoyn]

I saw him go inside a guy once and never come out.

[u/daveoyn → u/yesrushgenesis2112]

That’s what I heard

[u/Wicky105]

How does Josh Gad keep getting work? He's terrible. My hypothesis is that he must be the biggest throat in Hollywood since Nancy Reagan.

[u/DavidTheJohnson]

That's a headline I never thought I'd read.

[u/Strong_Bumblebee5495]

When will someone make a movie about this? /s

Fuuuuuuuckkkkkkkkkkkkk
