At one point, Irish got so drunk that he stripped down naked, climbed up one of the island’s cliff faces, and pointed to a pebble on the beach below! ‘See that pebble?’ he said. Then he starts masturbating feverishly! I haven’t seen such flagrant abuse since [[PrimaDonnaDirector John Huston directed his last picture!]] And after two minutes of pounding away, Irish lets rip a pint of fluid that lands directly onto that tiny little pebble. BULLSEYE. Then he climbs back down the cliff face, gives me a wink, and says… ‘I’m still perfect, Evans. No fucking resolutions for Nicholson.’ And he walked off. I think he was later arrested."''

Generally, one doesn’t expect a good performance from a stand-up comic, but Klein proves to be a very amusing asshole. Although, I’ve seen interviews with the man and while he’s very funny, he also seems to be his own biggest fan, so this performance might not have been 100% acting."''

-->-- '''''Taimapedia'''''

->''"For as much as we mock him, let it be known I truly believe that Vince [=McMahon=] is the greatest wrestling promoter in the history of this planet. Also, I think he was, during the feud with [[Wrestling/SteveAustin Austin]], the best heel in the business by far. No matter what has happened in recent years, no one will be able to ever either of those accolades away from him. Continuing my Vince lovefest for a moment, I’ll add that I think the fact that he really did have to fight and scrap for things early in his career has led him to believe that others don’t try as hard as he did. And he may be right.\\\

Lee is, to this day, a self-promoter of unfathomable skill, and in those early days of Marvel, he was in his prime. He was not there to make friends. He was, in fact, there to make enemies."''

From when she had a major role in [[WebAnimation/BattleForBFDI BFB]] 1, […] she was already seen as being a [[{{Jerkass}} mean character]]. But, this time around, something was different. She was mean... but, she was ''good'' at it. Lollipop wasn't a typical mean character like with Donut, or Flower. Lollipop was something different. She had a more sassy side to her meanness, and it fit ''really'' well to her character, and I love it. The banter with [[SitcomArchNemesis Barf Bag]] was funny; the [[MaliciousMisnaming nicknames]] are on-the-nose, but pretty funny, as well. She became a lot more [[TookALevelInKindness kinder and compassionate]] later on, especially towards [[TheChewToy Taco]], [[BestFriend Gelatin]], ''and'' [[TheQuietOne Teardrop]], while still [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold keeping her sassy personality]]."''
