We will agree to disagree then. I think Rodney's ok, in an old-timey Milton Berle / Henny Youngman type of way, but the humor feels a bit dated to me. You might say he's the Gerald McCoy of comedians. Sandler's more of a modern SNL-type comedian (obviously), and movies like Happy Gilmore still hold up really well today. I'll agree Sandler's no longer as entertaining as he once was, maybe because his style feels more forced when used by a 50-year old guy, but he was in his prime in Happy Gilmore.
