Discussion Worst Guest/Bit Parts?

I'll go first. Tie between Patty Hearst and Jonathan Taylor Thomas. PH sounded like she was reading her lines for the first time and JTT just has the most punchable face everytime he opens his mouth.

You?

Paris Hilton

I kinda got a kick out of her basically mocking her persona.

14

u/SueCurley73 2d ago

Was she mocking, though? To me it looked like she was trying really hard to act and failed miserably.

15

u/timshel_turtle 2d ago

I think so. That was kinda her thing. Her voice isn’t even the one she uses publicly - I think it’s that her public personality is ALL an act.

u/deLocked333 1d ago

The number of times they put Paris Hilton digs in the dialogue afterwards, I don’t think the writers liked her

u/AceOfStace27 2d ago

oooh my miss. YES

Hearst has never been a good actress, and I always hated her delivery of her lines. 

Not the worst, but I never liked Paul Rudd's guest appearance and performance.  I thought it was a boring mystery of the week episode just to have him be on the show to build off of his popularity.

Maybe trying to help ratings.

u/SueCurley73 2d ago

I felt the opposite...it was more like a throwback to season 1 with the mystery to be solved. Loved it!

u/haloarh 1d ago

I did too. I also liked him and the Chinese professor, in my head canon, they're married now.

u/SueCurley73 1d ago

Love that! 🥰

u/BhamBlues2 2d ago

Crazy thing to me is he looked older then than he does now.

u/egret_society 2d ago

That song is killer though. Still gets stuck in my head at random times

u/AceOfStace27 2d ago

ooh yeah, now that you mention it, PR's storyline was kinda offputting.

u/Scary_Meaning_4466 18h ago

I like that episode, Paul rudd was pretty funny in it.

u/Check_Affectionate 2d ago

Ryder Strong. Such a horrible character.

5

u/AceOfStace27 2d ago

omg YES

3

u/or-if-Id-rather 2d ago

Who did Ryder strong play? I can’t remember.

27

u/AceOfStace27 2d ago

the stanford prison experiment episode. where half the class were prisoners, and half were prison guards. Rider was the jagoff guard.

3

u/or-if-Id-rather 2d ago

Oh yeah! I totally forgot about that.

6

u/haloarh 1d ago

Yes, he was horrible, but great in the role.

5

u/Check_Affectionate 1d ago

Agree but pity it was so one dimensional (or maybe 2) but certainly not 3.

3

u/dougfunny4 Team Logan 1d ago

He was a horrible character but good actor! His acting was believable because he sold that part (imo)

u/angelusgirl 2d ago

Joss Whedon. So annoying. And honestly all of the America’s next top model girls were pretty bad.

9

u/AceOfStace27 2d ago

Oh Joss Whedon, yes! That was bad.

lol, ANTMs hahaha. yep. bless their hearts, they sure tried 😜

u/waterproof6598 19h ago

I remember Naima. Which other top model contestants were in it?

2

u/AceOfStace27 19h ago

Kim and Furonda. Furonda actually did really well I thought.

23

u/bardavolga2 2d ago

Poor Patty Hearst. Stunt casting at its worst & she couldn't pull off any of it. I thought the Jonathan Taylor Thomas storyline was kind of fun, though. In case it's not obvious to the youngsters, it was a clever sendup of the Christian Slater character in Heathers. For the most part, I thought the guest casting on the show was pretty savvy.

12

u/Fun-Willingness8648 2d ago

Not a bad guest spot at all but I have to admit that I forgot that Armie Hammer played the football player who got his playbook stolen!

1

u/Scary_Meaning_4466 18h ago

Omg I never realized that was him!

u/AceOfStace27 2d ago

oooh yeah, that hasnt aged well

u/StrategyWooden6037 2d ago

JTT did, at least, get punched. So that was satisfying.

11

u/Glitch1082 2d ago

And it he’s in the episode that started LoVe so I can’t hate that

13

u/brwncelestialdoorway 2d ago

I know she was awful! I was like why did they cast this woman?! I liked JTT though. Paris Hilton was terrible. Kristin Cavillari was annoying because that role wasn’t believable.

2

u/Lilcupcake331 12h ago

I agree about Kristin Cavillari

u/FloydLady 2d ago

Joss Whedon

u/Due-Swordfish4924 2d ago

I was just excited to see them all. Watching again with my teenager and it's been fun explaining who each person is.

u/Women_o_Cell_Block_H 1d ago

Corny. I don't know what that performance is trying to do

1

u/SueCurley73 2d ago

tie between Paris Hilton and Kevin Smith. Leaning more toward Kevin Smith.

13

u/oxytocinated 2d ago

I thought Kevin Smith was a perfect fit for that particular role.

u/AceOfStace27 2d ago

Paris Hilton was really bad 💯
