NFT: Settle a bet: Paul Rudd or Jason Bateman?

markky : 6/30/2018 12:09 pm
Who's the better actor? Who's funnier?
I'd go with Rudd  
Anakim : 6/30/2018 12:10 pm : link
.
Paul Rudd  
DennyInDenville : 6/30/2018 12:13 pm : link
But to be fair, Rudd is likeable. Bateman has a super douchie look

I like both , both c+ guys.

Rudd tho because of that movie he plays a degenerate brother
Never mind... Bateman is better  
DennyInDenville : 6/30/2018 12:14 pm : link
Rudd is just super likeable.

"The Gift" was really good
Depends on the role

This is like asking what the best brand of liverwurst is.
Rudd

Bateman is close though.
Jason Bateman is great in "Ozark"  
short lease : 6/30/2018 12:57 pm : link
It is a Netflix series - that he is also producing and has directed multiple espisodes.

Never would have thought he could have turned out something of this quality (IMHO). He really has grown/matured as an artist, Rudd is good also ... but, on the merits of "Ozark" alone - I have to go with Bateman.


Did I settle it ....? Who's opinion do you have to hear for it to be settled? You should have been more specific ...
Used to hate Bateman  
UConn4523 : 6/30/2018 12:58 pm : link
but he won me over in the Gift and Ozarks, especially since he’s talented behind the camera. Rudd is a good, fun dude but is nowhere near as skilled even though I “like” him more.
Bateman, and it’s not close.

If not for Arrested Development alone. He shows great range in Ozark as well.

Rudd plays the same guy every time.
Bateman  
Optimus-NY : 6/30/2018 1:11 pm : link
He has more range and experience. Rudd is a 1-trick pony.
Bateman  
Eman11 : 6/30/2018 1:50 pm : link
Is the better actor but it think Rudd is funnier.
Love them both but the nod goes to Bateman  
Jints in Carolina : 6/30/2018 3:05 pm : link
Although Rudd gets bonus points for being in Halloween 6.

it works every time "
Bateman was great in Extract

Joel: You had sex with my wife again?

Brad: Well, I figured we already did it once, so what's the big deal, right? Besides, I'm not going to charge you.

Joel: You're not going to charge... You *are* going to charge me and I am going to pay you, because you are not going to have sex with my wife for free, all right?

+1000

Bateman was awesome in Bad Words. That movie was hilarious. I love Paul Rudd and he’s funny as hell, but it’s Bateman all day long.
man, you and your friends sure make weird bets

"I bet you that people on BBI think ______ is a better actor than _______!"

"That's ridiculous! There's no way they'd think that! You're ON!"
teenwolf too vs antman  
madgiantscow009 : 6/30/2018 8:53 pm : link
haven't seen antman so I will go with that.
Bateman  
jtfuoco : 6/30/2018 10:33 pm : link
is the better actor hands down and its not even close but to have as a buddy then Rudd every day of the week
Rudd would suck in many Batemen rolls  
bradshaw44 : 6/30/2018 11:43 pm : link
And Batemen would suck in many Rudd rolls. I think the analysis would be to look at what rolls we think either could have played and who would have played it better.

I think Rudd was better choice for “ This is 40”. And I think Batemen was better for “ Arrested Development”. But I think it would be tough to say who would have been the better Kunu in “ Forgetting Sarah Marshall”.
Bateman is a better actor.  
Brown Recluse : 7/1/2018 7:54 am : link
But Paul Rudd is funnier.
I have to confess,  
smshmth8690 : 7/1/2018 8:26 am : link
I thought this read 'Phil Rudd Just Beat a man.'

I'm not sure what a Bateman or Rudd roll would taste like but I'm sure both of them would eat them instead of sucking them in, no matter how many we're talking about. ;)

Some people make really weird bets.

Why would anyone wager on this, and how would you ever prove it?
