Honestly, the thread title is flawed. Because we pretty much know why every single person listed in this thread pulls a paycheck. George Lopez is doing something right because hes had a successful stand-up career that parlayed into a sitcom and now a late night talk show. Paris and the Kardashians pull paychecks because they turned their sextapes into fame and fortune. Enough people seem to like those folks. So really, we know how these fools pull in paychecks. Maybe the better question is to ask if they deserve those paychecks? Basically anyone listed in this thread pulls a paycheck because there appears to be a big market for whatever they are doing.
how are you gonna talk about jay-z not deserving his paycheque because of his lyrics when little wayne,drake and soldier boy gettin theirs. Back to the topic, Reggie Miller getting paid for his analysis during games is bull****, Doug Collins just got a headcoaching job which means we gon have to listen a whole lot more of Reggie next season.
16, I think. but he's gonna be in serious **** when his voice gets deep. No more high notes for you buddy boy. You know who else doesn't deserve a paycheck? Ann coulter, Jeff Dunham, Any knick player who's getting paid more then a million that isn't david lee, and 1/2 the teachers in my school
I also want to add all the people that have reality shows that don't deserve to be on TV, mainly the MTV, VH1 and E reality shows: Jersey Shore Kendra Wild Girls (or some *****) Ray-J New York lookin for love show Real Chance at love and all the other dumb a** shows I forgot that have no business being on TV. Oh and Kate Gosselin. Her husband too.
Also, on the subject of comedians, add: Dane Cook That one comedian with the stupid puppets Larry the Cable Guy + Crew What kind of world is it where that **** makes money?
Gentrification And she's that skinny blonde blue eyed fun loving chicky that you wish you banged, who seemed approachable but you werent sure if she's still with her bad boy boyfriend or not. The young talented male musician thing - gimme a kid who'll grow up to be a cross between Jonas Brothers, Zac Efron and Josh Hartnett. Because they're such handsome and wholesome young men. All the moms that had crushes on Jared Leto... Lets KEEP IT TRUTHFUL for the people. Gauging it as process involving creavity is giving it too much credit. Straight appealing to the base senses.
The thread title is appropriate enough. Its not THAT serious (I dont think). Because taking a jab at the people making undeserved money is also taking a jab at the CONSUMERS or institutes that made it happen. How does George Lopez pull a paycheck? - (Because people are stupid) Because he explored an untapped market How does Sarah Palin pull a paycheck? - (Because people are stupid) Because she explored an untapped market That works for me :grin:
Lil Wayne and Soulja boy. about G. Lopez, I guess you have to be mexican to understand his jokes. That's why I don't think Dane Cook is funny. Then again, I don't know anybody that thinks Cook is funny.
This. Also, I like Mexican comics, just not Lopez. I think it has more to do with his overworked timing, lack of a creative delivery, and recycled jokes.
I remember seeing him a long time ago and there were maybe about 30 people in the audience. He was hilarious. I enjoyed his TV show but didnt really like his standup at the Toyota Center recently. I do think his humor is something that we (latinos) get more than others. Hey if the guy can have his own tv show, sell-out stand up venues and make millions....good for him. I wish he was my tio.

I think this about most people I see. Who meets them and then decides to risk their business or job on them? Blow my mind.
You've just owned yourself with that comment. Drake? Mr. Degrassi? Mr. I freestyle from my Blackberry? GTFO.
How does PETA still pull a paycheck? I thought everyone (even veggies and animal lovers) know they're as crooked as Owen Wilson's nose.
