Mike Myers, on the other hand, has succumbed to the disease I like to call "Sandleritis", where you continually recycle the same comedic ideas until they lose whatever humour they had entirely and just induce pain.
Anytime I've seen Timberlake in anything (black snake moan included) I've been really impressed ... even on SNL.

I'm not sticking up for Sandler in any way, but to me Myers is worse. To me Sandler recycles the same character types but Myers recycles the same jokes which is much more annoying imo. Personally I find Myers more funny, but it is really annoying to see him using the same jokes over and over again. I was watching an old SNL from Mike's earlier years (I'm thinking earlier 90's) and he used the joke about not being able to control the sound of his voice (which he yells out loud). Pretty annoying to see old SNL jokes that were probably written by somebody else making their way into his big movies.
