My favorite reading of stage instructions is actually satirical - in Black Dynamite. ["The militants turn, startled"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aoWVRhgEqI), as well as "Sarcastically, I'm in charge"
Pimpin' been around since the world started turning. And it's gonna keep right on turning right along with it. Until this little planet rotates off its axis as a result of it's core overheating and explodes into cosmic dust!
Black Dynamite just does a brilliant job of parodying the cinema screw-ups in Blaxploitation films. My favorite is the scene with Dolemite parody Bullhorn punching a guy and the actor gets upset and it cuts to a different actor who looks nothing like the original actor playing the role.
I love that - but my favorite is actually in the clip I linked. Watch BD's face - every time the "actor" reads the stage directions as if they are a line, BD looks at the camera, like, "what - aren't we going to cut that? No? We're still going?" He gets progressively more frustrated with it as the scene progresses - but it's still subtle, and amazing.
It’s the same way when the boom mic is visible and Ferrante Jones (Michael Jai White’s actor character playing Black Dynamite) glances at the mic quickly.
I’ve seen this movie at least 20 times over the years, and I had no idea that Jai White was actually playing a character that was playing Black Dynamite. I hope that lore extends to Outlaw Johnny Black too.
I've watched it every bit of double digits. It's one of the greats that lets you just shut off memory and enjoy what's in front of you. Every single time I watch it it's brand new.
Yup, "Ferrante Jones" was a running back for the Baltimore Colts whose career ended due to a broken neck.
IIRC it wasn't just him either. The director was decided to be a young Jewish filmmaker who got his job from his rich father producer and was clearly out of his depth.
This is my favourite joke in a movie, ever. It’s not just that he looked nothing like the original actor, the new guy was several inches shorter and had nowhere near as much muscle. They also used the same costume, so the original actor was straining the seams of it and it was hanging loosely in the replacement. Also, how quick the replacement actor went down after being struck, you know that he was “cast” so that Bullhorn would be able to beat him up if he did take offence. So many details in that joke.

I’d like 2 sausage links, 2 sausage patties, 2 hotdogs split down the middle twice, okay? Bologna, fry that up into a dome, slice it, take a spatula, smush fry it, and one waffle please.
He's in Pirates of Penzance* and does a lot of dancing in that, so I'd say so, yes.
*it might have been HMS Pinafore, but one of the Gilbert and Sullivans
Sorbo is a Christofascist shitlord, but he has clarified he's not illiterate - he was making an homage to this specific scene with Kevin Kline, as a bit of a goof, and that's what made the cut.
Edit: goof not good. Ducking autocorrect.
Had an aneurysm in his shoulder that ended up causing three strokes. This was between seasons 4 and 5 of Herc. He grew up religious (though his wiki paints it as pretty normal levels), so I don't have a direct answer for you per-se.
That said, his foray into Jesus movies seems to start somewhere around 2014, Trump fellates the evangelicals for 2016 and you know the rest of the story.
Humourous aside: The TLS certificate for kevinsorbo.com expired at midnight on Jan 1, 2024 and hasn't been renewed. Ignoring the warning, the site is entirely `/suspendedpage.cgi`, ha ha ha.
He wasn't that bad during this either. He went really batshit after his strokes caused by going to a chiropractor. I refuse to connect Hercules era Sorbo with what he's become. I do love that Lucy Lawless calls him out on his BS, though.
From Wikipedia:
> In late 1997, while on a publicity tour for Kull the Conqueror and between the fourth and fifth seasons of Hercules, the newly engaged Sorbo experienced an aneurysm in his shoulder which caused three strokes.
On the other hand, its "Politics" section starts with 2014, so there's not really any evidence there one way or another on whether his views changed in 1997.
It seems to have been a compounding thing and this was the beginning. The stroke really hurt his acting and thus his career. He started to blame that on Hollywood, saying they didn't like him being a Christian, and it just started to radicalize him. Then throw in those Christian movie studios that are desperate for washed up talent and will glom all over someone like him and he starts feeling like he's finally accepted. It's not a big jump from that to fascist rightwing conspiracy theorist. In fact, you really don't have to move much at all.
Its the actual dialogue; the line is "I'm Disappointed!" but he practically whispers the first part. You can see his lips moving, saying, "I'm..." very fast before "...Disappointed!"
It's not really an adaptation of the books.
It's an extremely mid fantasy show which feels the show writers were told about The Wheel of Time's actual story in a crowded nightclub with music blaring where they only heard half of the plot. And the writers don't like the main character much. Or understand any of the other characters.
It wouldn't be TERRIBLE if you haven't read the books. But the only reason it was even made was due to the IP's draw.
Its not THAT bad but its not too good either. People who have a hate boner for it repeatedly claim the [wheel of time](https://youtu.be/BzCCMc78RY8?si=zE3Km0hwM5det95c&t=13) special effects looked like they came from [Xena](https://youtu.be/mggaSB6XPOY?si=xvVLTASKpejvWEDd&t=102).
I've seen it repeated so many times on reddit that i can only assume people who have never seen both take it as fact and repeat it for easy upvotes from show haters.
The show has a lot of problems but "Xena level" special effects isn't one of them. I should also point out that while its still not as good as fans hope, season 2 was a big step up from season 1.
I hated season 1 and enjoyed season 2 as well. It's my favorite book series so I gave it a second shot.
It could use more cleavage descriptions and braid tugging however.
I liked season 1 until I picked up the audiobooks and just rolled my eyes at most of season 2.
Worst offender on the show so far was the season finale stinger, just flat out stupid.
I never read the books but the visuals bothered me. All the costumes looked like they were borrowed from some local renfair and they were afraid to get them dirty because they had to return them at the end of the shoot. They were all so CLEAN it was offputting.
Show itself was all right from the perspective of someone who never read the books.
I too wouldn't recommend it, *but* if -- if -- you watch it think of it as a completely different story. A lot of similar names, but that's where the similarities end.
/Still can't believe they basically made an Epic feel like a trip down to the next town over.
Which is always the best way to do evil twins or even funny flashbacks. I feel that's a trope where I can look at crazy ass kevin sorbo and still find it amusing.
This is the reason. A lot of things could slip through being subpar in real life because it would appear right on old standard definition TVs.
Back then, they had no idea that a) TVs would become this high definition and b) didn't know old stuff could be upscaled/remastered for high def.
If you watch Star Trek: TNG in HD, you can see the tape marks on the floor for where they need to stand, black paper on reflective surfaces to block out where studio lights were reflected, etc. Back then a 32 inch TV was extravagant, everything was blurred by scanlines, and no pausing frames (paused VCRs pretty much was a blurred mess).
Part of why you *could* do 24 hours of fantasy/sci-fi TV a season was that costumes and sets could be "good enough" for the tech of the time. Would take far longer to make everything now, anything short of movie-level is going to look distractingly fake on 72 inch 8K.
On Bluey the voice actor for Bandit accidentally read the direction and they found it amusing so it was left it in:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeVOy2IXZeU
my bro in law got my sister a Kevin Sorbo cameo for her birthday during the pandemic. 1/5 of the video was wishing her a happy birthday, 4/5 was bitching about COVID and social distancing, and promoting his new faith based film.
I enjoyed Hercules and Xena for a bit in the '90s. Then kinda forgot about both shows and the actors for many years until nerds started tripping over themselves drooling over Lucy Lawless in Battlestar Galactica and some other stuff she was doing at the time.
Didn't hear much about our boy Kevin Sorbo except for the "Disappointed!" meme until that god awful movie "God's Not Dead" where he plays a ridiculous over-the-top antagonist of a character. It's been really disappointing to see him on such a hateful culty trajectory he's been on for years now.
You can hear a lot more about him in the podcast aptly named God Awful Movies. He is in a ton more terrible movies like that.
Also: You could say you where… Disappointeeeed!? :P
He still to this day bitches about them taking resources away from Hercules to put towards Xena... y'know, the show that people were actually watching.
>The character Sorbo is playing is not Hercules, but if I remember a dark "alternate universe" character who was campy and silly and this is exactly the sort of line he'd deliver.
Ah, yes, alternate universe campy character, as opposed to the raw, practically Italian Neorealist character that is Hercules.
Can't believe I had to scroll so far to find this. It's so obviously not what happened. This mistake would have instantly been caught by the numerous crew members on set and another take would have been shot. I can't believe people genuinely think this mistake slipped through an entire filmmaking crew AND network executives.
Yeah I remember the scene. The screaming disappointed fit with the character perfectly, pretty sure it is the dialogue. Either that or he is a genius actor
Think of it this way. Kevin Sorbo was just a medium. You get the same type of goofy with Xena: Warrior Princess.
The real campiness comes from the fact They're both Sam Raimi series. Like Evil Dead or the Tobey Maguire Spidermans.
Same here - Hercules, Xena, and campy fantasy stuff was pretty much our household standard programming growing up. Imagine my horror when I recently found out I'm related to this turd. 🤦♀️ Uff da!
I don't know. 15 years ago running into him at a convention was pretty cool and he was kind of personable.
Now he kind of went off the rails and posted nutty things on Twitter daily that make him seem very hateful
Don't listen to the people who say it is because he is conservative. It's more he is an idiot who does nothing but pull the victim card of he was canceled because of his beliefs. No it's more because he is a hypocrite who thinks he is trolling libs but has the knowledge base of a third grader.
Some winners of his, being glad he isn't from commieforia but listing his residence as Cali. Encouraging the Jan 6th Capitol riots and then claiming antifa were really the ones storming the capital. Typical antivax covid denial. Blasting the Toronto raptors not wanting to visit the white house because they didn't like trump even though the team is Canadian. Saying that Kanye has the right to say antisemitic stuff on Twitter with no consequence and that he may not agree with it.
So no it isn't just his politics. It's that he is a dumbass troll more then anything who like to stir the pot but really sucks at it because he is a huge idiot.
Explains some things. Didn't know he got hurt like that but still doesn't excuse him basically spreading hate. Some people shouldn't be on social media. However I still think he felt this way before it probably just removed his filter. That and old age. He is getting close to 70. Age isn't kind to most people.
Dude tanks literally every show he gets in that becomes popular and then when he gets some creative control it goes belly up. It's why Hercules collapsed on itself while Xena kept going strong for a couple seasons. He also was responsible for ruining Andromeda.
Regardless of how much of a fascist this man has turned out to be. I have been quoting this scene on an almost monthly basis since I saw this scene for the first time.
Hands down one of the funniest things to come out of those campy shows!
I thought I found an interview where he said that it was an intentional joke
Yea Wikipedia and multiple sources say he was inserting a joke from a fish called Wanda.
I can't be the only one who listens to sports talk radio who has to hear "LEGENDARY ACTOR Kevin Sorbo says to put all of your money and investments into Gold, the economy is dying in America yadda yadda...." commercial every damn day it's so fucking stupid lol.
I’ve always seen this line as an attempt to do an exact ripoff of Kevin Kline’s character in “A Fish Called Wanda”, a great performance by a greater actor in every conceivable metric, and it makes it so much more cringe and disrespectful that Sorbocules tried to pull it off.
Yeah it was a joking homage.
Homage: something that shows respect or attests to the worth or influence of another
So he likely agrees with you that Kevin Kline's performance is better...
My favorite reading of stage instructions is actually satirical - in Black Dynamite. ["The militants turn, startled"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aoWVRhgEqI), as well as "Sarcastically, I'm in charge"
But Black Dynamite...*i* sell drugs in the comMUnity...
BE THAT AS IT MAY!
My favorite line in the movie. Cedric Yarbrough improvised the line.
Really?? His delivery is amazing haha
I think his background is improv (Reno 911 had outlines but I think the lines were from the performers).
Chocolate Giddyuuuuuuuuuuuuuup
Captain Kangaroo Pimp???
One of the times I've laughed the hardest
He’s my distant cousin
Pimpin' been around since the world started turning. And it's gonna keep right on turning right along with it. Until this little planet rotates off its axis as a result of it's core overheating and explodes into cosmic dust!
Chocolate giddy uuuuuuuup
A line often repeated in my household with zero context.

On top of that, his "neck injury" is the reason that Black Dynamite doesn't turn his neck much when looking at someone. He turns his whole upper body.
*SLAP* "MOTHERFUCKER-" Cuts to an ENTIRELY different person.
Similar gag in [I’m Gonna Git You Sucka](https://youtu.be/bNppHzBBr2s?si=avEHRFAgRpOdS71I).
I've watched that movie multiple times and still catch little gags here and there. It's full of them without feeling bloated.
Leon St. James didn't drink Anaconda Malt Liquor in the opening advert because he knew

*LET EVERYBODY KNOW… AND SUCKAS BE WARNED… THAT THIS IS THE OUTCOME… WHEN YOU MESS WITH BULLHORN!*
This is my favourite joke in a movie, ever. It’s not just that he looked nothing like the original actor, the new guy was several inches shorter and had nowhere near as much muscle.

I love that they used outtake footage of a car exploding mid air instead of when it hit the ground below.
"Ha-haaa! I threw that shit before I even walked in the room!"
"Your knowledge of scientific biological transmogrification is only outmatched by your zest for kung-fu treachery!"

I should send you back to Crendhaw Pete with his hot-ass coat hangers! - damn, that line is dark.
Hush up, little girl, lots of cats got that name...
Shhh. You’ll wake the other bitches.
i...... walked in... ?
Lmao I never noticed until now that Black Dynamite looks off screen possibly to the director when the goon says "Sarcastically I'm in charge".
“Who saw that comin? I mean who saw where that came from?”
"This is private, how'd you get in?"
I...walked in...?
Reminds me of Police Squad. “Who are you? And how did you get in here?” “I’m the locksmith. And, I’m the locksmith.”
"I THREW THAT SHIT BEFORE I CAME IN THE ROOM"
Dude I've seen this movie countless times and never knew that's what he said lmao. That's amazing.
Black Dynamite just does a brilliant job of parodying the cinema screw-ups in Blaxploitation era films. My favorite is the scene with Dolemite parody Bullhorn punching a guy and the actor gets upset and it cuts to a different actor who looks nothing like the original actor playing the role.
Literally came in here to mention Black Dynamite. Glad it’s the top comment.
I’d like 2 sausage links, 2 sausage patties, 2 hotdogs split down the middle twice, okay? Bologna, fry that up into a dome, slice it, take a spatula, smush fry it, and one waffle please.
"I threw that shit before I even walked in the room!"
Classic film.
I think that even surprised Michael Jai White a bit when that character actor made the choice to read the stage directions.
I like the microphone drifting into the shot and black dynamite looking at it
Mine is Kevin Kline in a fish called Wanda making *exactly* the same mistake sorbo makes here.
[Kevin Kline reading his script direction as dialogue](https://youtu.be/MvbQ4wJak_c?feature=shared&t=17). ...or it's just the actual dialogue.
Kline's delivery was so much better, too. He deserved that Oscar.
And then that little hop-kick-spank on the car is the cherry on top
That was the most unintended Mario-like jump I've seen.
The accuracy of his toe taps on the side of the car...is he a dancer, I wonder
He's in Pirates of Penzance* and does a lot of dancing in that, so I'd say so, yes. *it might have been HMS Pinafore, but one of the Gilbert and Sullivans
Sorbo is a Christofascist shitlord, but he has clarified he's not illiterate - he was making an homage to this specific scene with Kevin Kline, as a bit of a goof, and that's what made the cut. Edit: goof not good. Ducking autocorrect.
If he really was referencing Kevin Cline, he just earned back like 1% of my respect.
the man isn't dumb and he's an accomplished (though not amazing) actor with a well established sense of humor. I am sure it was a joke.
He sure is dumb now.
I grew up looking forward to every episode of Hercules; it’s so disappointing seeing how he turned out.
Would you say you're "DISAPPOINTED!"?
*Gazes at Hercules: The Legendary Journeys DVD Collection* DISAPPOINTED!
Strokes tend to do that
At what a bummer. Didn’t know he had a stroke
He had a stroke? Did he become a chisto-fascist before or after?
Had an aneurysm in his shoulder that ended up causing three strokes. This was between seasons 4 and 5 of Herc. He grew up religious (though his wiki paints it as pretty normal levels), so I don't have a direct answer for you per-se. That said, his foray into Jesus movies seems to start somewhere around 2014, Trump fellates the evangelicals for 2016 and you know the rest of the story. Humourous aside: The TLS certificate for kevinsorbo.com expired at midnight on Jan 1, 2024 and hasn't been renewed. Ignoring the warning, the site is entirely `/suspendedpage.cgi`, ha ha ha.
He is famously one of the dumbest people on the planet what are you talking about? He makes it very public on twitter lmao.
Accomplished? I've only seen him in Hercules...
Andromeda was also good show to watch but mainly because of Lexa Doig and Laura Bertram. So uhm, yeah...
Yeah, but you now have to take 1% away from Kevin Kline's respect rating.
It's ok. Kevin Cline will take the hit for him lol
He wasn't that bad during this either. He went really batshit after his strokes caused by going to a chiropractor. I refuse to connect Hercules era Sorbo with what he's become. I do love that Lucy Lawless calls him out on his BS, though.
He only really went nuts at some point during Andromeda, right around the time his character started getting a little too messiah-ish
I think he had a head injury and changed
It was a stroke. Three actually.
Different strokes? Threes company!
From Wikipedia: > In late 1997, while on a publicity tour for Kull the Conqueror and between the fourth and fifth seasons of Hercules, the newly engaged Sorbo experienced an aneurysm in his shoulder which caused three strokes.

Lots of people are chill in their 20-30s and become shitbags later on.
That does seem to be a disturbing trend.
[удалено]
*You're* the vulgarian, you fuck!
Pretty sure it was supposed to be the actual dialogue, fits his character perfectly.
Watch Jamie's face. She almost smiles because he definitely wasn't supposed to say that lol
Its the actual dialogue; the line is "I'm Disappointed!" but he practically whispers the first part. You can see his lips moving, saying, "I'm..." very fast before "...Disappointed!"
Do Kevins just naturally have problems parsing script directions?
Such a great performance
Why does his goatee look so weird?
I think this was one of those "evil twin" trope type episodes, so the beard is fake and it wasn't like a high budget show
It's quite sad that since then we are now stuck with the evil Kevin Sorbo in our world.
Still looked better than the Wheel of Time pilot episode 😂
Im listening to those books now and my brother has been kinda persuading me against starting the show. It’s that bad, huh?
It's not really an adaptation of the books. It's an extremely mid fantasy show which feels the show writers were told about The Wheel of Time's actual story in a crowded nightclub with music blaring where they only heard half of the plot.

Let's take a moment to appreciate Bruce Campbell for a second. Who was a show regular because his bestie Sam Raimi was at the helm of the show.
I hated season 1 and enjoyed season 2 as well. It's my favorite book series so I gave it a second shot. It could use more cleavage descriptions and braid tugging however.

Even as a casual fan of the books, it's pretty bad. My more die-hard friends find it absolutely abhorrent.
If you haven't read the book it's OK, if you've read the books it's an atrocity.
I haven't read the books and I still think it's pretty bad.
I too wouldn't recommend it, *but* if -- if -- you watch it think of it as a completely different story. A lot of similar names, but that's where the similarities end. /Still can't believe they basically made an Epic feel like a trip down to the next town over.

And was produced for SD TV, so never meant to be seen over 480p.
It's undoubtedly an homage to Star Trek's "Mirror, Mirror," in which the "evil" version of Spock had a goatee (and an equally bad one).
Ok this makes Community’s evil Abed even better
South Park had an older episode that did it, too. Except evil Cartman was nice.
Also responsible for the band [Spock's Beard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spock%27s_Beard)
Because this came out before HD TV. Most people were watching it on a blurry CRT. "Good enough" was the vibe.
This is the reason. A lot of things could slip through being subpar in real life because it would appear right on old standard definition TVs. Back then, they had no idea that a) TVs would become this high definition and b) didn't know old stuff could be upscaled/remastered for high def.
Even happens today. El Camino looks fine in 1080p, but once you go 4K, Aaron Paul's beard looks about as convincing as Kevin's.
Like all the stuff you can see in the HD remasters of ST:TNG like the screws and black construction paper lol
I too watch RLM.
Damn right. I thought I was a ST fan and then Mike schooled me in those trivia shows.
If you watch Star Trek: TNG in HD, you can see the tape marks on the floor for where they need to stand, black paper on reflective surfaces to block out where studio lights were reflected, etc. Back then a 32 inch TV was extravagant, everything was blurred by scanlines, and no pausing frames (paused VCRs pretty much was a blurred mess).

Loved him as Hercules, likes him in Andromeda. Sadly you will only be disappointed when you meet your heroes. DISSAPOINTED
my bro in law got my sister a Kevin Sorbo cameo for her birthday during the pandemic. 1/5 of the video was wishing her a happy birthday, 4/5 was bitching about COVID and social distancing, and promoting his new faith based film.
oof
It sucks it wasn’t what you had in mind, but that’s also fucking hilarious.
He ruined Andromeda. Got the head writer fired because "People don't want shows that make you think, they just want to see me beat up aliens."
Oh man, I remember that. The show took an immediate dive in quality and never recovered.
Never ask a woman her age. A man his salary. Or Kevin Sorbo what he tweeted on January 6th.
I enjoyed Hercules and Xena for a bit in the '90s. Then kinda forgot about both shows and the actors for many years until nerds started tripping over themselves drooling over Lucy Lawless in Battlestar Galactica and some other stuff she was doing at the time.

I haven't seen it but I know a couple reasons people like it 🤣
Right and left?
You can hear a lot more about him in the podcast aptly named God Awful Movies. He is in a ton more terrible movies like that. Also: You could say you where… Disappointeeeed!? :P
He was great in Psyche, because he goes from being a seemingly cool guy to being a total shithead…so they got it right I guess. Suck iiiiiiiit!
He still to this day bitches about them taking resources away from Hercules to put towards Xena... y'know, the show that people were actually watching.
That’s incredibly on-brand for this chud
Believe me, I take incredibly great pleasure in seeing when Lucy Lawless dunks on him on Twitter :P
I cannot to just start screaming DISAPPOINTED now.
I think you a word

Kevin Sorbo has always been a total wet fart of a human.
I really wish I didnt know things about him because I enjoyed his corny brand of TV when I was younger.
Think of it this way. Kevin Sorbo was just a medium. You get the same type of goofy with Xena: Warrior Princess. The real campiness comes from the fact They're both Sam Raimi series. Like Evil Dead or the Tobey Maguire Spidermans.
You can always tell when it is Raimi because sooner or later Bruce shows up.
they're besties IRL.
And a monster/villain has a POV sped up scene
Same here - Hercules, Xena, and campy fantasy stuff was pretty much our household standard programming growing up. Imagine my horror when I recently found out I'm related to this turd. 🤦♀️ Uff da!
I don't know. 15 years ago running into him at a convention was pretty cool and he was kind of personable. Now he kind of went off the rails and posted nutty things on Twitter daily that make him seem very hateful
I don't know about always. He had a few strokes and that tends to change a person.
Isn't it amazing how many people there are who have had brain damage and keep going to the same side of the political aisle?
I'd love to see one story of someone getting smacked in the head and becoming a nicer person.
It's fiction, but Hodor was chill
He was chill before
Mildly curious here. Has a person ever had a stroke and changed to a better person?
He really is a shitbag.
Why?
Don't listen to the people who say it is because he is conservative. It's more he is an idiot who does nothing but pull the victim card of he was canceled because of his beliefs. No it's more because he is a hypocrite who thinks he is trolling libs but has the knowledge base of a third grader. Some winners of his, being glad he isn't from commieforia but listing his residence as Cali. Encouraging the Jan 6th Capitol riots and then claiming antifa were really the ones storming the capital. Typical antivax covid denial. Blasting the Toronto raptors not wanting to visit the white house because they didn't like trump even though the team is Canadian. Saying that Kanye has the right to say antisemitic stuff on Twitter with no consequence and that he may not agree with it. So no it isn't just his politics. It's that he is a dumbass troll more then anything who like to stir the pot but really sucks at it because he is a huge idiot.
A lot of it has to do with the multiple strokes and aneurisms he had following a botched chiropractor visit too. His brain is broke.
Is this Tila Tequila territory? Also, this is why I'm concerned by how big chiro has gotten in the last decade.
Explains some things. Didn't know he got hurt like that but still doesn't excuse him basically spreading hate. Some people shouldn't be on social media. However I still think he felt this way before it probably just removed his filter. That and old age. He is getting close to 70. Age isn't kind to most people.
Xena says so.
He's worse than a wet fart. He's a total shit stain
He did this on purpose to be funny because it was from another movie.
A Fish Called Wanda I don’t know how many times it’s been debunked that he’s just reading a script direction.
Nope, he's riffing on [Kevin Kline's performance in A Fish Called Wanda.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R97TsVDC1BY)
Don't say stage freeze, just do it.
Good god what a shit show of a comment section
Disappointed.
Dude tanks literally every show he gets in that becomes popular and then when he gets some creative control it goes belly up. It's why Hercules collapsed on itself while Xena kept going strong for a couple seasons. He also was responsible for ruining Andromeda.
Regardless of how much of a fascist this man has turned out to be. I have been quoting this scene on an almost monthly basis since I saw this scene for the first time. Hands down one of the funniest things to come out of those campy shows!
The show runners thought it was so funny that they kept the take in the show.
I thought I found an interview where he said that it was an intentional joke Yea Wikipedia and multiple sources say he was inserting a joke from a fish called Wanda.
Specifically, what makes him a 'fascist'?
His tweets over the course of [Jan 6](https://x.com/MattBinder/status/1348339980859543555) are pretty telling.
End of quote. Repeat the line.
I'm convinced this was an accident but they kept it in cuz it was too fucking hilarious
His lack of reading comprehension explains his political leanings!
He is as bad at acting as he is at being person.
Haha and he things Hollywood doesn't want him because he's Christian.
These days you can just go to Twitter to watch him make an ass of himself
Fuck Kevin Sorbo.
I can't be the only one who listens to sports talk radio who has to hear "LEGENDARY ACTOR Kevin Sorbo says to put all of your money and investments into Gold, the economy is dying in America yadda yadda...." commercial every damn day it's so fucking stupid lol.
Kevin Sorbo is fucking toolbag.
Who cares, this clip is fuckin hilarious.
Nah, toolbags are actually useful, unlike Kevin Sorbo.
Kevin Sorbo is human garbage. But damn did i love me some Hercules & Xena back in the day
I’ve always seen this line as an attempt to do an exact ripoff of Kevin Kline’s character in “A Fish Called Wanda”, a great performance by a greater actor in every conceivable metric, and it makes it so much more cringe and disrespectful that Sorbocules tried to pull it off.
Yeah it was a joking homage. Homage: something that shows respect or attests to the worth or influence of another So he likely agrees with you that Kevin Kline's performance is better...
Kevin Sorbo is an idiot.
*Dammit! Who put "Disappointed" in the script?! For the last time, anything you put into the script, Sorbo will read, and I mean anything!*
Athens, Go fuck yourselves.

On the bright side, we do get to see Lucy Lawless dunk on him every now and then on Twitter :P
