Are you a no good, lowdown, dirty old Focker? And if you are, is your first name Gaylord or Martha? Oh boy, luck has smiled on you today my friends! Years of torment and insults from peers are about to reap rewards of the very public kind.
What do I mean? If your last name is Focker, then Sony Pictures wants to talk to you. Yep, Hollywood is calling and not even collect. Ask for Ben “Little Ben” Stiller. Martha Focker! At last you have bragging rights over your cube mates, Bob Schmuck and Ira Lipshitz. This is a big time, serious tribute.
Reading about this promotion reminded me other unfortunate appellations. I thought to myself, what better time for a list? Here’s my favorite names with great potential for comedy, in no particular order. Please add yours to the comments.
NOTE: The names you add must be real, none of this Ben Dover business.
1) Christopher “Chris” Coe
2) Harold Lutz
3) Mitch Gaylord
4) Dikla Weitz
And Then?
What about Rich Seamen!!!
Dick Hertz
or Richard Cranium?
I.P. Daley?
I went to high school with this chick and her married name is DeeDee Duda. I realize this is no “Ben Dover,” but still…. But now I’m kind of scared she’s going to read this and realize that all of my friends have been laughing at her name. Hi DeeDee! We’re not really laughing, I just made that up.
