Is Adam Sandler Still Funny? The Internet Has Spoken

With “Happy Gilmore 2” dropping on Netflix tomorrow, Adam Sandler is back in the spotlight— but does he still got jokes? According to a new YouGov poll of over 2,200 Americans, 71% of the country thinks the Sandman is at least somewhat funny.

Specifically, 44% of people say he’s “somewhat funny,” while another 27% gave him full comedy credit with a “very funny” rating. Only 13% think he’s not very funny, and 9% said he’s not funny at all. That leaves 8% who are still on the fence—or maybe just haven’t seen “Billy Madison”.

This mini national referendum comes just ahead of Sandler’s return to one of his most iconic roles in “Happy Gilmore 2”, the long-awaited sequel to his 1996 golf comedy.

While Sandler has had some career ups and downs (and a few Razzie nominations to his name), his diehard fanbase clearly still finds him funny enough to click “play.”

The numbers show that his brand of goofy, lovable weirdness still resonates—at least more than it doesn’t. And when you stack up decades of hits (“The Wedding Singer”, “The Waterboy”, “Big Daddy”, and yes, even “Uncut Gems”) alongside his infamous flops, it kind of makes sense that “somewhat funny” took the top spot. He’s got a little something for everyone.
