[BlindGossip] This well-known funny actor is known to enjoy a drink or two over the course of an evening. While driving home (sober) after a recent dinner in Southern California, however, he was pulled over for speeding.
The officer walked up to the driver’s side and asked the actor for his license and registration. The actor put on his trademark smile and asked the officer “Don’t you recognize me?” The officer replied, “Yes. Now show me you license and registration anyway, Funny Man.”
Uh oh. This did not bode well for our actor. He produced the documents, but continued to smile and engage the officer in conversation, hoping that he could establish a rapport and avoid a ticket. The officer looked at the documents and then looked at the actor.
“Have you been drinking tonight, Sir?”
“No. Why?”
“Because your eyes look a little red.”
The actor couldn’t resist asking a question in return.
“Officer, have you been eating donuts tonight?”
The officer, visibly annoyed, said “No. Why?”
“Because your eyes look a little glazed.”
The officer stared at the actor for a few seconds, then burst out laughing. The actor got off with a warning, and the officer went home with a good celebrity story to tell.
Will Ferrell?
Yes!!
This story just makes me want donuts.
Adam Sandler, clue being “Funny Man” (from 2009 film Funny People).
Adam Sandler is not funny.
My initial reaction was either Adam Sandler or Chris Rock, but neither of them really have a signature style. I’m thinking someone with distinctive teeth/lips, etc. Maybe I’m reading too much into it, and it’s his trademark because he does comedy?
For some reason Jim Carrey was the first person that sprang to mind
Me too!
Me 3
Me 4. “Trademark smile” made me think of him right away.
Jim Carrey was who I thought of too! He’s got the trademark smile! I love him so much! I bet it’s him! I hope it’s him! *on a sugar high*
Yea…usually, only famous people get to get away with this kind of behavior.
Not true. My stepbrother was speeding one night and was pulled over. He got out of the ticket by telling the cop that he was rushing home to watch Cops.
That’s a good one :p
Jim Carrey?
Jim Carrey
adam sandler
Jim Carrey
or Chris Rock
Nathan Lane
Jim Carrey.
I feel there are references here to his distinct “trademark” smile, the fact that he’s a comedian who has portrayed a “funny man” in film (Andy Kaufman), he’s certainly got enough cheek to reply to an officer’s question with a question, and he’s had his issues with the drink. The doughnut joke also strikes me as both police-oriented and Canadian-esque at the same time. I only say that as I am a Canadian and there is some serious doughnut love up here. However, I can also acknowledge similar passions in the US so perhaps it’s moot.
Tim Allen?
Billy Crystal
So Jim Carrey…
Well known smile… Jim Carrey?
Jim Carrey ftw! Hi Ace! Long time lurker, first time poster!
Jim Carey
Jack Nicholson
Funny story!
Will Ferrell
Sounds like Tom Hanks.
Jim Carrey? His [obnoxious] smile, his movie, “Yes, Man” and the “,Funny Man” connection. Im not sure of what else, but this seems like something he’d do. Also, he’s admittedly had an alcohol problem in the past…
Jim Carey
First Guess: Adam Sandler
Second Guess: Seth Rogen
Picturing Adam Sandler when I read this and it fits perfectly.
Just because I want it to be…Steve Martin
Got to be…Jonah Hill
No real idea, but for some reason I can totally see Jim Carrey doing that.
LOL. My guess is Jerry Seinfeld. But it’s a shot in the dark there are dozens of possibilities.
Jim Carrey?
Jim Carey or Bill Murray
Sandler or Rogen? Both were in Funny People.
For some reason I want to say Robin Williams. Whoever it is, nice way to get out of a ticket LOL
Jim Carey
Jim Carrey?
Adam Sandler?
Sounds like Jim Carrey to me.
This has to be Jim Carry. His smile is contagious! I’ve had a crush on him for as long as I can remember lol.I just pictured him the entire time I read this, it sounds like something he’d do and say!
Me too! I don’t care what anyone says, there’s something indescribably sexy about him! <3
Me too..and only he could get away with something like this!
jim carrey
First comment!!! I’m going to go with Steve Carrell, Adam Sandler, or Kevin Hart???? I could be completely wrong though.
Jim Carey?
Jim Carrey?
Danny DeVito
I could see Will Ferrell doing this.
And my husband wants to guess Adam Sandler.
Jim Carrey
Adam Sandler? or Jim Carrey.
IDK who that could be, but that’s funny.
Eddie Murphy? He has a well known smile
Danny Devito
I’m thinking only Jim Carrey could crack a joke that corny/dorky. Plus, with his poor upbringing, it might seem like a big deal to get a speeding ticket to him, even if would barely put a dent in his wallet.
LOL, Jim Carrey
Don’t know why but this makes me think of either Bill Murray or Steve Martin.
It sounds like Jim Carrey
I could only think of comedian Ron White – but he’s not an actor.
And I’m pretty sure that guy WOULD have been drunk.
bananas – that was awesome! thanks for the laugh!
Steve Buscemi? Trademark smile? I know he does serious acting but he’s been in some pretty crazy/funny roles.
Zach Galifinakis
Robin Williams
that is hilarious!!!! maybe jack black?
I’m going to say Will Ferrell.
Russell Brand?
oops. forgot. he is supposably dried out
Adam Sandler. I don’t find his sense of humor funny…and that joke was not funny.
Lol @ “your eyes look a little glazed.” I’m rolling with Jim Carey.
jim carey
I’m hearing Seinfeld in the dialogue, he could get away with this.
I’m voting for Jim Carey too.
He’s the only one that I would consider to have a “trademark” smile.
Jim Carrey.
I swear they oughta make “Don’t you know who I am?” the official motto of Los Angeles County. Just once I’d like for someone to answer that question with “Yes, I DO know, and that’s why I did it!”
Adam Sandler – Smile, the wit, the funny man, enjoys a drink or two. But really, only Sandler could pull that line off and actually get away with it.
I was thinking more a Ray Romano/Kevin James type.
Danny DeVito popped into my head.
Dan Aykroyd? He has been pulled over for speeding before.
Steve Martin
David Della Rocco? “Funny Man” is a line in Boondock Saints. Plus the clue says well-known and not famous or a/b/c list. I think a main character in a well-liked though not a hit movie qualifies for well-known.
Oh, it has to be my one true love, Jim Carrey.
I can see this being Carrey, Rogen, or Seinfeld.
Or Steve! Yes, Marsha!
Jonah Hill
jim carrey, my favorite…he looks like he would smoke something that would redden the eyes lol
Trademark Smile= Eddie Murphy
First thought of Jim Carrey or Robin williams.
TRADEMARK SMILE? Jim Carrey, I can so hear him saying this
Jim Carrey, Trademak Smile
Both my husband and I guess Jim Carrey, love him!
