Is Santino Marella really supposed to be funny?
Because I just watched two "Santino's Casas" and thought they contained some of the worst forced comedy I've ever seen.

A guy who creates crappy photoshopped pictures ("It's not real! get it!?!"), and creates threads with the borrowed "gimmick" of posting a picture of a lizard, is questioning the comedic talents of a man with wit, timing and delivery?

Eh, it's not the most ridiculous thing I've seen on these boards.

But seriously, my "comedy" aside, Santino is fucking terrible. He speaks funny and makes "humorous" observations by Photoshopping his face on shit. Maybe during a promo he'll come out dressed as who he's feuding with and mix up their name and mock their gimmick.

He's not very deep, and I hardly call what he does 'witty'. He has timing, I'll give you that, but that's where it ends. Like I said, everything in the videos seemed extremely forced and, at best, passable for a skit on Nickelodeon.

Yes, I realize that he's made to be marketed to the Nickelodeon crowd, but the love he gets from people around here and the community in general dumbfounds me.

Santino is not witty. Jericho was witty. Rock was witty. Santino just pronounces words funny and people on here suddenly are like "OMG Santino is so fucking funny. Here, look at my kids in my wallet!" BAM BAM BAM. I mean, come on.

You make it sound like he puts no effort into anything at all. I don't know if you're ever done comedy before but it's really hard. You're right in the fact that Santino doesn't have much material to work with but I think that also speaks leaps and bounds for his comedic timing. He can make something that is generally unfunny funny, which is an awesome trait. Also, the words that he mispronounces and how he mispronounces them are pretty ingenious sometimes. The guy knows what he's doing.

I find him to be funny in his quicker appearances (the business with Rosa Mendez and "Can we keep her? Pleeeeeeeeease?" on Raw was great,) but I agree with Xero about Santino's Casa. I find it funny occasionally but it usually has that constipated aspect that bad, forced comedy has.

See the funniest thing he does to me is mis-say names. I don't even say mispronounce, because it's not that he CAN'T say someone's name, it's more like "I don't even care enough to bother to say it right." Saying "Roddy the Piper" isn't mispronouncing anything, it's just a heel tactic of "I don't care about you people enough to even speak your language right." Again though, it's funny to me only in brief shots or short promos playing the crowd, but a web-feature with no crowd interplay just falls on its face.

And not everyone's cut out to be a comedian. And that's fine. "Comedy is hard" is not really an excuse for Santino sucking. I'm sure he puts a lot of effort into it. I'm also sure Jim Carrey put a lot of effort into talking out his rear end.

Again though, it's funny to me only in brief shots or short promos playing the crowd, but a web-feature with no crowd interplay just falls on its face.
My favorite bit is when Beth manhandles him, but then, I'm pretty sure most people on the roster could be funny in the role of "Phonics' bitch."

Santino is Great, on WWE Programing. After the success of The Dirt Sheet, the E just got carried away and gave anybody new with a sense of "humor" a webshow. There is no way we should have a 'Word Up" or a "Casa".

I admit, Santino's Casa isn't very good. Santino is at his best in front of a crowd and playing the clown (not like he is an actual clown, but funny as in a).

He doesn't suck though, nor was I using that as an excuse for him 'sucking'. Where's that strawman when you need him? I think the main complaint here is that he isn't consistantly funny which is a bit critical imo. I'm seeing people agree with the fact that he's funny and enjoyable on RAW but not on his shows. Seeing as how he's on television once a week and has an internet show once a week, this isn't all that surprising that he runs out of steam from time to time. The average comedian isn't on television once a week, nor do they adlib most of their acts (most of them. Some of them do). Seeing as how Santino is a professional wrestler, is performing on television at least once a week, and is getting such praise for his comedic work (until now I guess), I say he's doing pretty damn good.

I enjoy Santino, and I don't really feel pressed to let anybody know exactly why I do. I just do. Think about how critical people are of pro wrestling in general. Whenever somebody finds out I watch it, they're usually like "this shit is retarted", and to an extent, they're right, but I'm still going to watch it. My enjoyment of Santino is like justifying watching wrestling to people who already do, if that makes any sense.

I don't really see Santino getting an hour and a half special on HBO or appearing on Def Comedy Jam, but I definitely enjoy him for about ten minutes a week, usually less.

And Rock had shitty comedy*. I've always said this, specifically when comparing him to Cena. I love Rock for his range and his heel character, not his face comedy.

Still, Rock was miles ahead of Santino and I think a better a better comparison would be the bWo, which is still way off.

*Post-mark days I've come to this conclusion. When I was a mark in middle school during his height, yeah, he was funny.
