Rob Schneider. The SNL guy that had one character, then moved on to being remembered as "The Stapler" on South Park.
What an inspiration.
Edit. Now that I think about it, Schneider is actually being a true comedian through and through here. The golden rule is to always punch up, and Schneider is attempting to do just that.
I started Googling "Rob Schneider" and Google autocompleted "herp de derp" after that.

I mean, by many measures Alex Jones is more accomplished than me, but I'm very happy to be where I am instead of being Alex Jones.

Lets just cut all the way to the end and "Godwin's law" for this.
Adolph Hitler is "more accomplished" than me, but I have zero desire to accomplish what he did. So I'm not sure "more accomplished" is really a good measure to try to aspire to.
Being really good at being a shithead is not the win you think it is.
The guy that's been riding Adam Sandler's coattails for 34 years? Oh yeah, he's super accomplished.
I thought you were referring to how much he has to punch up, cuz he's such a a scumbag(expanding on my joke). But looking at your account history... Wtf why are you even bothering?
Not if he's an anti vaxxer and anti-trans.
So was Jimmy Saville. What's your point?
I wouldn't want his list of accomplishments. And I say that as someone who didn't end up a major success at standup. If I had to be hateful to be successful, I wouldn't take that bargain.
