Just wondering what people’s thoughts are on this one. I’m torn.

On one hand he is free to wear what he wants and feels comfortable in to wherever he wishes however, it also seems disrespectful to show such contempt to the Oscars and, to his colleagues who have all bothered to make a huge effor

It was part of the show!!! Did you even watch it? It was a comedy sketch.

Media stirring for click bait again.

Never heard of Adam Sandler so not bothered.

Is this an attempt to try and make out that you're too highbrow to know who Adam Sandler is? 😂

Adam Sandler sounded very ‘throaty’ there. Is that his usual voice? I’ve never heard him speak before, he sounded like I do when I’m off sick!

It's his 'happy Gilmore' voice

Not really. I'm abysmally ignorant about films and actors. DD has just reminded me that he wrote or was in 50 first dates. I've seen the title but not the film.
DD says he's a good guy but the films are probably not my genre. As the last film I saw was Paddington in Peru, I think she's right.
I'm not highbrow at all.

Obviously scripted (and as said by PP you can hear his mike rubbing against his clothes) but a bit subtle to be satire, bit odd with Conan laughing and just... not very funny.

Yeah I got it was a scripted thing but I didn't get the context of h not being dressed nor the yellow/blue flag part.

So far too subtle for me. I assume it was some snl regular skit type thing.

Rubyupbeat · 03/03/2025 08:56

These things are all 'scripted' It's all for effect and to get people talking. I don't understand how people fall for it, year in, year out!

Yet here you are pretending your better than everyone else 😀

I saw a clip of this earlier thought it was genuis.

This has gone straight over your head OP.

Not only that, it seems to have gone over the heads of the DM writer too!

Look, I am a complete dummy about people in the media. I've no idea about footballers or film stars, most actors or directors. I looked up Adam Sandler, I really didn't know who he was.

Why didn't you scroll on then, you look at a title and think yes I'm going to comment that I don't know someone it doesn't interest me .

Sharptonguedwoman · 03/03/2025 09:06

Honestly wish I had.

EmeraldShamrock000 · 03/03/2025 09:10

Nice statement.

Not sure what happened to make him leave, he should have stuck it out. If you're going to make a statement, own it.

Nothatgingerpirate · 03/03/2025 09:13

Thought - he's a human being and didn't have a good day.
😆

Spondoolies · 03/03/2025 09:14

Some people posting have clearly not watched the clip! Deliberately hammy acting to make it obvious it’s a skit and people are still thinking he stormed out for real 🤣

NatMoz · 03/03/2025 09:14

I hadn't seen the video but did see pictures of him in hoody for the oscars and assumed it was Zelenskyy support related.

Makes even more sense after viewing the clip someone posted here when he hugged Chalamet showcasing the blue and yellow.

Yellow being the wheat as Ukraine has been known to be the bread basket of Europe and of course blue being the sky.

Adam Sandler is one of the few Hollywood actors who is openly a Republican so he seems an odd choice to choose for this skit.

Adam Sandler is the reverse of ‘highbrow’. His films involve him playing unmotivated doofuses and slackers who break waitresses’ noses while defending themselves from attacks by a blind cane, or declare their love to Drew Barrymore by singing songs on an airplane while Billy Idol throws the villain into the plane loo, or being a crap stand up comedian who saves Miss Australia from terrorists on a cruise ship.

I mean, he’s a financial powerhouse who must be one of the best-paid figures in Hollywood, when you include all his production stuff, but ‘highbrow’ he isn’t.

Fargo79 · 03/03/2025 09:20

I feel I've stepped into a parallel universe 😅

I thought this was a very, very obvious (to the point of being so blunt it was too clunky) scripted parody of the meeting between Zelensky and Trump. Like, extremely obvious.

The fact that so many people didn't get it has made me doubt reality 😂

Over40Overdating · 03/03/2025 09:20

@ItisIbeserk it’s to demonstrate to us low minded plebs that they are intellectually superior by not having any popular culture references past the reformation. It’s very important they do this on every single pop culture thread so we feel graced by their presence but also suitably chided into bettering ourselves by finding entertainment in the works of plato or Socrates.

thestudio · 03/03/2025 09:21

Also why are you doing that WEIRD DAILY MAIL thing with caps?

BeardofHagrid · 03/03/2025 09:22

If it was in support of DUkraine and DZelenskyy I fully stand with Adam Sandler 🙏🇺🇦

Let’s all storm out for Zelenskyy today!

wholettheturnipsburn · 03/03/2025 09:23

Thoughts?

You either didn't realise it was part of the show

Or

You want to start an innocent discourse on appropriate dress.

Pointynoseowner · 03/03/2025 09:23

Don't be so ridiculous, it was scripted

Over40Overdating · 03/03/2025 09:23

@thestudio suspect its because OP is a daily mail staffer in desperate need of clicks on an article to reach quota before their shift ends.
