Can someone explain the dislike for Jim Belushi

[Sycho Sid]

I don't think I have even heard him mentioned since his show was on.

 

[HHJ]

I never held him to any standard. Just thought he was a cool guy, just layin in the cut.

 

[Cherry Brigand]

He had some good movies in the 80s.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

Dislike of Jim Belushi?

I haven't read or seen anyone talk shit about him really.

 

[crabmeat]

He had some good movies in the 80s.

 

[Kyler Ruxin]

it probably comes from this.

[clutchCAT420]

I like him

 

[Cherry Brigand]

I don't remember that one but he did one with Charles groden where grosen loses his 'file o facts' planner thing and takes over his life. I remember being moved by some of the lessons in that film.

 

[Fedorgasm]

People compared him to his brother, and also he starred in some very stupid movies and shows.

I didn't hate him though. There are some roles where he was pretty good. Some...

Takin care of business! I think.

Where at the end he had to dump the planner so they can use the cover to slide down a cable?

 

[kimocomplex]

Tbh I always confused the Belushi's and John Ritter

 

[TribalDrumz]

This guy is living the life up in Oregon farming weed and playing with animals... I highly doubt he gives a fuck about what Hollywood or the public think about him.

 

[Bobby00]

I know him as that fat dad in a sitcom. Is there more to it?

 

[toasty]

the lesser brother is always slightly disliked and considered a nepotism beneficiary

Jim Belushi
Brian Doyle Murray
Randy Quaid
Zeppo Marx
Reginald McDonald

etc.

In Jim's case I believe it was stephen colbert on the strike force five podcast that told the story of Jim liking to pull audience members up on stage during improv shows and slap them,,,,,he said he would do it hard and the combination of the shock and them being in front of an audience would make it so they never slapped him back..

So one show, it happened and Colbert improv'ed a bit were he slapped Jim back hard and then encouraged the guy who got slapped to do it to. Think he said him and Jim had some heated words backstage after that one


thus Stephen > Jim

I think one of the other hosts talked about Jim getting into a pretty heated exchange with like Mr. T or some other tough guy of the era......So I think young Jim may have been a bit of a cocky douche

 

[HARRISON_3]

He was good in Mr. Destiny.

Also since the other brother died and Jim's career got a bump at around the same time.

 

[TadDunbar]

I don't like Jim Belushi and I don't like people that like Jim Belushi

[Vampire life]

I'm not the biggest fan but people really seem to dislike the guy?

He’s the poster boy for coat tail hanger
Without his last name he would be just another fat balding slob
