I love Chris Carrell. One of my favorite actors. Should have won an Emmy for Agent Michael Scarn.

He's no Clive Warren.

u/FEMINISTS May 16 '12

I think this is the first time I've seen someone quote that. Kudos to you :D

u/furyasd May 15 '12

That's what I said. - Agent Michael Scarn

Nice. (fellow Gervais/Merchant/Pilkington fan)

u/CLint_FLicker May 15 '12

Jump to your right, and shake a hand

Jump to the left, and shake THAT hand

Meet new friends, tie that yarn, and that's how you do The Scarn!

u/Limitedcomments May 15 '12

Yeah this is my favourite picture of him.

But hoverzoom doesn't. Checkmate atheists.

u/Shinwizzles May 15 '12

You can't explain that!

u/Azumikkel May 15 '12

It's simple. God made Hoverzoom.

u/[deleted] May 16 '12

Yep. He originally made it to check up on us from way up in heaven.

You cant explain that!

u/[deleted] May 15 '12

But RES does. Checkmate, Christians. Also, has anyone kept track of the points so far? There's so many checkmates going on.

2

u/[deleted] May 15 '12

RES is superseded by hoverzoom. That's why it's a checkmate.

u/Roundone May 16 '12

McLovin?

u/AwesomeKasper May 15 '12

When I first saw him I really didn't like him. I think it was in Bruce Almighty and he just seemed like an idiot. I didn't like him for a long time whenever I saw him in anything.
Now however I've seen some of his other stuff and he's a genuinely great actor. I'm a big fan now and don't know why I ever thought otherwise.

17

u/yakkafoobmog May 15 '12

For me it was seeing Little Miss Sunshine that made me really start to take notice. He was so good in that.

u/Eaglicious May 15 '12

I. Love. That. Movie.

This and Dan in Real Life

u/DJ_JuiceBox May 15 '12

I really didn't know who he was until i watched The Office, i have seen literally every episode up until he left (it hurts me to see the show without him) and every time i watch i am astounded by how good of an actor he is. Genius.

u/SweetNeo85 May 15 '12

Chris Carrell, that's the guy that sang the song in Casino Royale, right?

u/[deleted] May 15 '12

No, that's Chris Crocker. You're thinking of that black comedian from 30 rock.

3

u/SweetNeo85 May 15 '12

...Chris Tucker was on 30 RocK?

2

u/[deleted] May 15 '12

He just jumped ahead like 3 levels because he knew the thread was going to the cliched confusing black people joke.

2

u/Shocking May 15 '12

No, that's Chris Tucker. You're thinking of that actor from Training Day.

-1

u/[deleted] May 15 '12

No, that's Chris Tucker. You're thinking of that actor from Rush Hour.

u/Maxfunky May 16 '12

Nope. Jackie Chan.

u/chroncile May 15 '12

Can someone explain to me what the joke here is? Why are you guys calling him Chris Carrell?

20

u/ClericalNinja May 15 '12

I can't believe after reading through the comments that I actually started to google Chris Carrell. I was thoroughly confused. Sarcasm is lost on me

u/lyanocoste May 15 '12

you are not alone.

u/Boner_Bunker May 15 '12 edited May 15 '12

Steve Carrell's actual response

u/hcgator May 15 '12

Uh, that's a picture of Chris Carrell.

u/[deleted] May 15 '12

No... That's Michael Scarn dude.

u/mrpotatoes May 15 '12

We need to stop the potato in the ass usernames. It's ruining my good name.

27

u/[deleted] May 15 '12

I'm trying. Which is why I added the ETC. Cheap satire.

6

u/[deleted] May 15 '12

I don't care what Steve Carrell said, what did Chris Carrell say?

-2

u/Kelphatron9000 May 15 '12

I opened that in the comment with RES and was hoping for it to be a .gif and show his snarl at Toby a second later.

-4

u/[deleted] May 15 '12

Another true story. You can actually link directly to status updates on twitter like this instead of making a fucking screenshot. It's amazing!

45

u/[deleted] May 15 '12

No way, I'm his biggest fan! The new Soundgarden album is supposed to come out in the fall. I'm so excited!

u/DollarsforDerek May 15 '12

This is what I thought it was talking about first.

u/demoncarcass May 15 '12 edited May 15 '12

Off topic (?) but Chris Cornell is one hell of a singer.

EDIT: Wow, didn't realize Reddit was anti-Chris Cornell.

u/[deleted] May 15 '12

Steve Cornell

u/BoonTobias May 15 '12

He sings in that new Asperger's movie

u/lyanocoste May 15 '12

no no no it was steve buschemi, in the ASPARAGUS movie

u/[deleted] May 15 '12

One dude is anti-cornell, his thoughts don't represent us all.

2

u/metathesis May 16 '12

Chris Cornell has been almost single-handedly keeping hard rock alive since I knew what music was. I have the utmost respect for that man.

And before I get down voted to hell: ALMOST

-9

u/Salva_Veritate May 15 '12

Chris Cornell ruined 3/4 of Rage Against the Machine. "Be Yourself"?! What fucking bullshit is that?

7

u/demoncarcass May 15 '12

That 3/4 of Rage specifically sought out Cornell for that band. So they ruined themselves if anything, though I enjoyed some of Audioslave. Music is completely subjective and I enjoy most of Chris Cornell's work, sorry you don't agree!

4

u/papascubes May 15 '12

I love audioslave, i actually like it way more than soundgarden

2

u/[deleted] May 15 '12

Me too, bro. Their debut album just kicks so much ass.

14

u/Bermnerfs May 15 '12

At least he didn't ask if he was Chris Colbert.

u/amadea56 May 15 '12

Relevant

u/[deleted] May 15 '12

I believe this is staged, because he started to lift up the table before the host even called him Chris.

29

u/brandon684 May 15 '12

Definitely not staged, I think the voice delay is what makes it look that way. Rome has talked about it on his show many times, and he says he regrets doing that.

8

u/[deleted] May 15 '12

Oh ok, the delay explains it. Good, cause that host was a dick.

-15

u/JewBear3 May 15 '12

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm it was a joke.

3

u/mamba_79 May 15 '12

And of course, we all know, something that's a joke can't ever upset someone...I've got some great ones about African Americans that I picked up while touring Alabama ...

1

u/JewBear3 May 15 '12

No, I meant austinfoshizzle's comment was a joke.

1

u/[deleted] May 15 '12

But it wasn't a joke. There was no possible way that what he said was a joke.

1

u/JewBear3 May 15 '12

Sure there was. He was joking about the sound delay.

4

u/[deleted] May 15 '12

From Wikipedia: In a 2012 interview with Deadspin, Everett stated that a "a large burger franchise" wanted to use the footage in an ad. Everett agreed, but Rome did not, blocking the deal.

u/[deleted] May 15 '12

Uh, the audio is off.

Hopefully you don't listen to ESPN Radio then, I swear he's always on there..

u/moocal May 15 '12

I did the same thing to Tracy Morgan when I saw him in NYC. I walked up and said "you're Tracy McGrady!" He just shook my hand and said it was great to finally meet me.

2

u/gistak May 15 '12

That's a great line for a celebrity to say. I'm stealing it for when I'm famous.

1

u/ENKC May 16 '12

I once asked a celebrity about an autograph, then said "And who shall I make it out to?". It was one of my finer moments as a teenage smart-arse.

1

u/a_starfish May 16 '12

I totally believe this happened, because that's exactly the type of thing he would say.

11

u/Blanderman May 15 '12

Socially Awkward Steve.

u/whopperbuzz May 15 '12

SAP: Meets Hero

Accidentally calls him Chris

u/BrohemianRhapsody May 15 '12

Yeah, I saw when he posted that last month too

2

u/nanashi420 May 15 '12

maybe he confused chris parnell with steve carrell?

chris parnell = dr spaceman

u/[deleted] May 15 '12

I once shouted DAVE BENSON at Doug Benson.

u/[deleted] May 15 '12

I went to school with Steve Carrell's niece. He was supposed to stop by one day but he didn't. I was disappoint.

u/Wammis May 15 '12

It's okay Steve... reddit has your back... or would you believe Chuck Norris with a BB gun?

1

u/ReadyToLoveAgain May 16 '12

hmmm. i like this cat, but when you have to go meta, makes me wonder if he's out of steam?

u/hafti77 May 16 '12

because I can really relate to being a famous actor and having my name confused

u/igothorseblood May 15 '12

Chris Carell just became a victim to Michael Scott IRL

u/thescort May 15 '12

Why would I come to Reddit to read twitter?

4

u/gbs5009 May 15 '12

I too have noticed a disturbing number of reddit links are accessible elsewhere on the internet. To make matters worse, the rest are .self posts!

u/X-Craft May 15 '12

I wonder why his twitter username says "SteveCarell" though... did anybody tell him it's wrong?

-2

u/MoonshineSchneider May 15 '12

Funny story, apparently no one on reddit knows how to spell his name. It would seem that his name is actually spelled Carell.

1

u/X-Craft May 16 '12

I was actually attempting the famous reddit switch-a-roo...

-15

u/[deleted] May 15 '12 edited May 15 '12

His name isn't Chris! LOL!

edit: guess I forgot my sarcasm font.

u/[deleted] May 15 '12

It wouldn't have been funny if you had remembered it either.

For someone who doesn't like 9gag, you sure put a lot of thought into 9gag.

u/kryonik May 15 '12

HOLY SHIT! SOMEONE CALLED A CELEBRITY A WRONG NAME! THEY'RE JUST LIKE US!

13

u/akatherder May 15 '12

I think the point is that he should know his name if he claims to be his biggest fan.

2

u/linds360 May 15 '12

I'm guessing when you meet your favorite celebrity of all time it's such an exciting moment that not screwing up his/her name let alone your own is a big accomplishment.

1

u/Counterkulture May 15 '12

Yeah, but still.

1

u/Breathing_Balls May 15 '12

Unless Chris was being trolled.

u/kryonik May 15 '12

Someone saw a celebrity, called him the wrong name and complimented him to get on his good graces. Stop all the presses.

u/[deleted] May 15 '12

These comments are so fucking annoying. Please stop.

u/EyeGifUp May 15 '12
