David Alan Grier vs Orlando Jones

Orlando Jones is in Drumline which is the greatest movie of all time, lock thread

I am not sure whether DAG taking a role as a slave in An American Carol knocks him down several points in my book or just makes me concerned for him

TS: David Alan Grier in An American Carol vs. Dave Foley in Postal

drumline otm

Holy shit David Alan Grier is my dad's age and has a MFA from the Yale School of Drama

I think DAG just co-scripted a flick w/ Lori Petty, too!

i think DAG is super talented but hasn't really made too many good choices careerwise

it seemed like jones was gonna be a big star too like 10 years ago or whenever but i can't remember any big project he's been in lately.

did anybody watch that show on fx with orlando jones and some white guy and Karyn Bryant that was like siskel and ebert for music?
that was a weird show.

chocolate news looks atrocious

I think it says a lot for how far DAG has fallen that you can make a credible comparison between him and OJ.

Dagaroni baby!

DAG on Loveline yielded many a classic moment.

Orlando Jones for Office Space alone.

sound fx!! i grew up on that shit

eaaaaaaaarly days of fx

also DAG's Maya Angelou is the most beautiful shit i have ever seen in my life

ahaha i was gonna mention his angelou! that shit is transcendent

chocolate news looks atrocious

really? I've been totally loling at the promo spots.

All I know of DAG (never seen him on TV or in the movies) is his guest spots on Loveline, which have made me laugh about as hard as I've ever laughed. He has this bit about talking through clenched teeth while having sex that's really, really funny.

Whereas Orlando Jones is 7-UP, right?

Comedy at 1:20 here.

This is the epic DAG/Loveline spot, when he starts using birth control drug names as black kids' names:

twinkie hole baby woo!!!!!!!

oh man that clip is sendin me down ~*memory road*~ now

http://www.comedycentral.com/videos/index.jhtml?videoId=185958&title=exclusive-improv-porn-101

The Cleveland Compost Heap. How is that not comedy.

Um, DAG duh. If only for 'Men on Film'

ok so I've watched that clip I linked 4 times, and it's still funny, especially because it's obviously outtakes, just him going off, expecting to be edited for quality later. You kinda get to see him rattling off the top of his head.

Weird thread question, this. What has Orlando Jones ever done that puts him in the same class?

Orlando Jones was the Hollywood actor equivalent of the Strokes: had massive hype and many chances to become gigantic, but ultimately never delivered on his early promise.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Who the hell voted for Orlando?

justice!

seriously though, besides the 7up commercials and I think a small role in Office Space, what has Orlando Jones done?

When I'm in the nursing home, bring me recordings od DAG.

DAG's loveline bits are classic just in themselves

Was listening tonight to an Adam Carolla podcast from a few weeks ago. DAG takes over, and Carolla's annoyances/politics are pushed out of the way.
