- just how many red flags did they ignore?
Yeah, I think Schneider is a dipshit and a bigot, but this one is on the organizers. Were they expecting "makin' copieees" and shit?
Is this what happens when you choose from "entertainers" list by sorting by "price - low to high"? Is this really a surprise when you shop from the clearance rack?
Were these organizers looking at the list and saying "Hmm, Carrot Top is a bit too 'high brow' for our engagement. Who else do we have?"

I wonder if this was a case of someone seeing a "big name" but being clueless about his history and thinking, "I recognize his name, must mean he's popular." Then they hired him without vetting because he had a recognizable name and they believed he was therefore popular and "cool". I mean, I know who Rob Schneider is because I've heard his name get thrown around a lot, but I had no idea he was a bigoted piece of shit because I've never (knowingly) watched any of his movies, nor do I keep up with celebrity gossip.
That said, it's really stupid to hire people without vetting them in this day and age because people have become so insane and brainless that you have no clue what they might say when they get up on stage; but 10 years ago I could see you being able to get away with not vetting celebrities. As such, the person/people who approved him might have been +10 years out of touch and/or lazy.

Anti-vaxx jokes at a hospital fundraiser. That's one of the stupider moves I've seen today.
Hiring him was the dumb move considering that it's known he's a reich-wing fuckwit
Rob doesn't seem to be the smartest of people.

Rob Schneider. The SNL guy that had one character, then moved on to being remembered as "The Stapler" on South Park.
What an inspiration.
Edit. Now that I think about it, Schneider is actually being a true comedian through and through here. The golden rule is to always punch up, and Schneider is attempting to do just that.
I started Googling "Rob Schneider" and Google autocompleted "herp de derp" after that.

I got blocked by him on Twitter (in 2012!) for mocking his whackjob antivax views. He was espousing shit headed antivax nonsense long before it was fashionable.

At first I was sad reading that an actor I liked turned out to be a bigot, but then I realized I was confusing this dipshit with Roy Scheider and felt better.
Roy Scheider is, unfortunately, no longer with us. Rob Schneider is, unfortunately, still with us.
dude isn't even funny in the first place. he can't do a Dave Chappell. Pander to the bigoted masses with a modicum of talent. Now if Dave Chappell wasn't a pos he could easily be the funniest man in comedy instead of a fringe washup but here we are. Used to love them both for their niech humor but lets be honest Rob was only ever funny cause he was proped up by mid Adam Sandler scripts.
Why is Dave chappell is a POS? Did he do something awful recently?
I haven't watch anything from him since forever because I don't find his jokes funny, it's mostly him complaining or trash talk other people.
His shows are pretty much him making fun of trans people and whining bc people call him on his shit for doing nothing but making fun of trans people.
Here's some excepts from The Closer in 2022. I watched this begrudgingly to prove to a buddy of mine that he was, in fact, being transphobic (said buddy is no longer buddy), and I haven't watched anything of his shit since but it's probably just him whining even more now:
-
Every time I come out onstage, I be scared. I be lookin’ around the crowd, searching. For knuckles and Adam’s apples to see where the threats might be coming from.
-
And then she hikes her skirt up and she pulls a real live, meaty dick out!
-
If I was honest, I wouldn’t have fallen for it. I’d have just looked at the picture like, “Look at that big chiseled jawline, that big thick Joe Rogan neck. Is that a dude? Is your daughter a man?” Can’t say that shit. It’s really annoying.
-
trans-bitch from the picture.
-
A couple of more drinks and these fellows are gonna start asking her for some pussy, she might not have.
-
I was careful to call her a bitch, ’cause I didn’t want to blow her cover.
-
“Well.” I am a girl now, n*gger. You must treat me as such.
-
Gender is a fact.
-
Now… I am not saying that to say, that trans women aren’t women. I’m just sayin, that those pussies that they got… You know what I mean?
-
I’m not saying it is not pussy, but that’s like Beyond Pussy or Impossible Pussy. You know what I mean? It tastes like pussy but that’s not quite what it is, is it? It’s not blood, that is beet juice.

He insults transgenders in routines and bitches about people calling him out for it. He also throws out stupid stereotypes about various other groups but they aren't generally direct insults like with trans people. He tops it off with complaining about cancel culture cause apparently he can insult and call other groups out for just living their life, but if somebody calls him out on that crap it's bad.

Oh, look, another old comedian jumps on the bigot bandwagon. It's an incredibly transparent trend now for when they can't write the same material that got them there in the first place, or when they are no longer working with the person that wrote their material for them.
Take a few shots at trans people, purely for publicity, then use that sudden boost from the circle jerking media to secure yourself a Netflix special, where you can talk about how you've been cancelled for an hour and a half for a big payout.
It's just a marketing ploy for using peoples own outrage against them.
He's been a conservative hack for a while (and he's been a hack for his entire career), he just hid it better than, say, Victoria Jackson or something. This is him feeling too comfortable. I'm glad this crowd didn't let him stay comfortable.
Rob Schneider peaked literally last century with Deuce Bigalow. As if that were not bad enough...
I believe he peaked at "making copies..." on SNL. Deuce just sped up the downhill roll

What's up with all these washed up celebrities coming back to the spotlight just to make an ass of themselves?

I'll never forgive Adam Sandler for keeping Rob Schneider vaguely relevant by letting him ride his coattails for the last 30 years. "Makin' coppppieeesss" stfu you bigoted hack.
I don't really understand these dipshits. The older I get the more tolerant of others outlook on life I get. I might not agree but I don't have to trash them to make myself feel better. I certainly don't begrudge them their own preferences. Perhaps one reason for this is that I have become asexual. Or chaste to use a really old term for not interested.
I don't know that asexual is really the same as chaste, because chaste implies you're using some sort of willpower to avoid sex rather than just not wanting to have sex. Either, in my opinion, is a fine way to live your life, but they're not really the same. I wouldn't say that all nuns are asexual, but all nuns are supposed to be chaste.

If this means that he finally fades into obscurity and we never have to hear from him again, maybe it’s for the greater good.
Weird coming from a guy who basically played a transgender person in the Hot Chick and also is a stapler.
Imagine starring in a movie where your character is desperately trying to explain to loved ones that they're trapped in the wrong body and don't understand how to navigate this gender that they find themselves in and then come out in the other side being transphobic. Like, he's so media illiterate that he doesn't empathize with his own characters. So then it was just hateful jokes the whole time, I guess. Dude stopped maturing at like 15.

Lmao did they have no idea who he was when they booked him? Did someone hire him as a joke? I don't get why he was even there.

Hire Rob Schneider to do his stand up act. Rob Schneider does his stand up act.
Schneider came out as a clown in 2012.
