16. Sorry I'm not a fan of lowbrow schtick
And I'd like to remind you that Affleck (note the correct spelling) received an Oscar for CO-writing a screenplay. CO -- meaning it wasn't 100% his creation. I'd consider it safe to assume that Matt Damon was the driving genius behind the story - especially as he's had a far more promising career than the "Daredevil" guy -- which flopped big time.

That having been said, SNL is nothing like it was a decade ago. And Affleck is a terrible actor. He's done nothing of note lately. Dogma was written by Kevin Smith (who is brilliant) - Affleck was a paid actor, he had nothing to do with the creation of that film, other than showing up and hitting his marks.

Too bad you get so tweaked over other people voicing their opinions. In the real world grownups can and do have differing opinions, and don't resort to namecalling when their feelings are hurt.

And if you think that Affleck is second only to Carlin -- uhh, perhaps it's time to start renting other videos of real comics? Affleck is NO comedian, even by a longshot. He's as good a comic as he is an actor. Which isn't saying much AT ALL. :eyes:
