you don't think Eugene Levy is funny?

I love his work, along with pretty much everyone from that original SCTV cast. I've said it before that the original SNL cast gets treated with reverence in the industry but the SCTV cast was just as good if not better.

He knows funny, but he is not funny. We've already had this convo. Eugene Levy looks like a guy who is at no times funny so they put him in funny situations and he makes a face or something and you are supposed to laugh. He is mildly interesting. He can be even be mildly amusing. But LOL funny? Never happened. Not even once.

You are not appreciating or getting the type of funny he is. More like Ackroyd or Candy than the wacky all over the place guys like Carey or Farrell.

Armed and Dangerous. Cheesy 80s flick with Levy and Candy as the leads. Also has Meg Ryan and Robert Loggia.

Not a good movie, but Levy definitely has some funny moments.

Levy is one of the funniest side character actors in history. He becomes a lot less funny the more screen time he gets though.

Levy's a facemaker. Don't appreciate it. Jon Stewart. Not funny. Facemaker. And the greatest facemaker of them all, you mentioned.

Cosby was a good facemaker

That's a good one. And although it's not mentioned often, Going Berserk was pretty funny to a young Darko.
