This is an important lesson in doing your fucking research boys and girls, and it’s an important one to remember if you hang out in the kind of circles I do where running into A-list celebs is a daily occurrence.
Whatever happens, DO NOT CONFUSE SAMUEL L WITH LAURENCE FISHBURNE. And if you do, you’d better make damn sure it isn’t on live TV because holy shit, my man Samuel will tear you a new one.
And rightly so. I mean this is Samuel L we are talking about here, a guy who has become notorious for playing slick-talking badass black characters for over 20 fucking years.
You do not fuck with Samuel L Jackson. You do not fuck with this man!
Because if you do, this happens:
The problem I have with this clip is not necessarily the fact that the guy confused Samuel L with Laurence Fishburne (though that’s a MAJOR fuck up) but that he recovered from that blunder so badly.
I mean fer chrissake! Own it you spineless nincompoop! Stop trying to bulldoze your way through your blunder by trying incessantly to get in a question about Robocop.
People make mistakes, if this guy had done a better job of owning it instead of conceding that he needs a “spanking†this clip would probably have never ended up here in the first place.
Can we get a slow clap going here?
