Talk:Rob Schneider

I think this biography is biased. =) No point mentioning the part about his movie.

Another cameo

You might want to add he did a cameo (the you can do it guy) in "The Longest Yard" in which he states two things. "You can do it, get your old @$$ into the endzone, we gotta win this thing!" and "Group hug in the shower tonight! *everyone pauses and stares at him* .....Or not!" Just something you would wanna put in there.

Hard R with Norm MacDonald

Can someone get some info about Hard R, which is co-written by Norm Macdonald. I'd like more info about the Norm Part.

Cleanup

I tagged this article because it's terrible - I learned almost nothing about Schneider himself and only about a recent event which should be much further down the list and not in as much detail relative to the rest. I would fix it myself but I know next to nothing about the guy. Mithridates 04:14, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Plus this line: The films in which Schneider is the main character often involve him either being a certain type of person or thing. <-- a certain type of person or thing. Er, okay. Mithridates 04:16, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

I agree that this article gives no direction to the content of the man, his current relationships;name of companion, regrets, etc. I wish the article would have lead up with his opinions, and interests. Just to get a feel for the integrity of this man.

Adam Sandler!

Something strikes me as unnecessary as far as "Starring Adam Sandler" after every other movie goes. 66.82.9.68 02:55, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Academy Award???

The first line in the article says he won an Academy Award... Can anyone find out which award he won and for what? --Spundun 17:25, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

• According to IMDB he won no such thing. [1] (He was not even nominated)--SomeStranger (T | C) 17:32, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Criticism and parody

User Pattyjohn deleted all the information regarding Schneiders' exchanges with Patrick Goldstein and Roger Ebert, and the South Park spoof, giving as his/her reason that it was "defamitory comments and misinformation." While the comment about Schneider's films being "lowbrow" are certainly NPOV, and were rightfully deleted, most of the material deleted was not "misinformation", since Schneider did have a public flap with Goldstein and Ebert, and was parodied by South Park, and did indeed win a Raspberry Award, for which I provided a source.

As to whether it was defamatory, that would be a matter of opinion, and not appropriate as a criterion for deletion. The flap involving Schneider, Goldstein and Ebert was not only public, but was one that Schneider freely chose to participate in. He took out a full-page ad, and called into a radio show, and thus, it’s noteworthy enough vis a vis his career to include it. How is it defamatory or “misinformation”? The only criteria for which the comments could be deleted would be if they were inserted by a WP editor. Since they were actually made by critics, they’re relevant. As for the South Park parody, how can this be either misinformation or defamation, since Schneider himself said that he loved it?

It seems that Pattyjohn herself did not care for the material, and deleted it for that reason. That is not appropriate. Nightscream 23:36, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Personal Life

shouldnt it be at the start of the article? it makes sense and seems to be the trend for info on other actors141.168.46.13 00:56, 29 October 2006 (UTC)sammy

"Schneider is a practicing environmentalist." What a sanctimonious epithet. Jamiem 18:34, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Public image, criticism and parody

This all needs to be divided into separate sections...It just doesn't read right. 66.15.146.252 08:45, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Recurring SNL Chars. / Tiny Elvis

Tiny Elvis appeared as at least two standalone sketches, therefore meeting the definition of "recurring". If you want to disagree, this is fine, but I'm going to keep putting it back until you can give better justification why it doesn't belong. Nightscream, care to explain how you "restored" one that was already there (causing the list of recurring characters to go from six to three)? Bsharkey 02:27, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Filmografy: Deuce Bigalow

The Schneider's caracter in the movie Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo is Deuce Bigalow and not Tommy Hendricks as writen in the text. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.29.198.242 (talk) 03:35, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Fixed. Thanks for pointing it out. --Onorem♠Dil 03:40, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
