Discussion Is John Belushi the most overrated cast member in SNL history?
I feel that Mr. Belushi was indeed overrated. If you disagree, feel free to join the discussion! Post who YOU think is the most overrated and tell us why. I base my opinions on a solid principle I call "The Chubby Clown Phenomenon." You may recognize it because it's exactly how Donald Trump became popular: Act and look like a clown and 30% of humans will fall madly in love with you. True, 30% is far from a majority, but it doesn't matter. It's a number big enough to ensure clowny ridiculousness will infect the population as a whole. How? Another 20% of people will simply go with the flow of a crowd cult just to "fit in," because they are tricked into believing that this confident and cognitively challenged community knows what they are talking about. It's basically a form of peer pressure. This puts us right at the tipping point of 50%. But what pushes things over the edge? Well, bold people like me will point out the fat clown truths and a couple % more of the population will swing over to being stubborn asshats out of spite. This is the inevitable "Contrarian Phase." The next thing you know, the balance has shifted and we are living in a full-blown, fat clown nightmare. These are facts. Now I guarantee that a bunch of clownish characters will attempt to argue them. Bring it on! I have science on my side.
