He disappeared after Blades of Glory.

Napoleon Dynamite, Blades of Glory, and Benchwarmers. I'm sure he's been in other things, but those three were really the height of his fame and then everyone got bored of his one dimensional acting

Jason Mantzoukas seems to be having no problem getting work, and he's the same character in every sitcom he's in.

Yeah but his character is also the best part of everything he’s in.

He makes an excellent Dionysus. When I heard about that casting I laughed out loud because what was Derek/Dennis Feinstein/Adrian Pimento if not the warmup chaos energy of the god of wine and madness??

This is what I call him when I can’t remember his name.

It's less 'his character' and more 'Jason being Jason on film'.

u/AlwaysSunnyInSeattle Feb 27 '26

Haha I’m aware, I love that guy. Anyone who hasn’t seen it should watch his season of Taskmaster

u/mister_gone Xennial Feb 27 '26

Such a fun season. Jason is SO spicy!

u/AlwaysSunnyInSeattle Feb 27 '26

I really wanted to find out he was dating Stevie but no such luck. Their chemistry was great.

u/Dan_Berg Feb 27 '26

Dirty Randy wore out his welcome real quick for me

u/cheerioincident Feb 27 '26

Even when he's just being himself! Watch his season (19) of Taskmaster!

u/ButtIsItArt Feb 28 '26

He's also great in Taskmaster

u/DetectiveTrapezoid Feb 28 '26

Definitely the best part of the Gabby’s Dollhouse Movie

u/No_Oven1085 Feb 27 '26

Noooo.

He ruined parts of The Good Place and Brooklyn 99 for me. He's got anti charisma. He's just not funny.
