ADAM Sandler has not tickled everyone’s funny bone with his People Choice Awards speech.
The beloved comedian accepted the People’s Icon Award with a drawn-out NSFW monologue he pretended was written for another accolade.
Adam, 57, opted for a routine where he thought he had won People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive at the February 18th awards show.
He read that speech instead, which left some fans “cringing” on social media.
With Jennifer Aniston, his “brother from another mother,” as she put it, introducing the award and his wife Jackie standing by, Sandler committed to the bit.
He said: “I don’t have one prepared for the icon thing but I’m gonna do the speech I wrote.
“I am the sexiest man alive can I get a hell yeah? Another hell yeah?”
He continued: “Thank you for recognizing me as the man who made our entire country the horniest this year.”
“And was by far the most talked about person in the bedroom by couples and throuples during fantasy role play and sloppy time.”
Sandler also referenced the size of his “pee pee” during the speech, which went on for quite some time.
The actor also came on stage too early and before Aniston was done introducing him which caused a chaotic energy to begin with.
‘SUPER CRINGE’
One X user wrote: “Is it just me, or did that #AdamSandler segment just drag on and on and on? #PCAs You’d think the guy had invented comedy.”
Another wrote: “Horrible speech, not funny in any way, and a total waste of my time.
A third wrote: “#AdamSandler #PCAs It’s such a waste of my time that I may even switch to the #NBAAllStar2024, which is one of the most boring all-star games each year that I usually skip.”
A fourth wrote: “Literally watching Adam Sadler laugh at his own gross jokes.”
A fifth wrote: “I like #AdamSandler but his speech was super cringe.”
However, others enjoyed it, given the levity of the event: “Adam Sandler’s acceptance speech for the People’s Choice Icon award was an absolute home run! Hilarious!”
SANDMAN’S WOMAN
Jackie was born on September 24, 1974, in Florida, and began modeling in high school.
Her modeling career reportedly took her all the way to Brazil where she worked for a few years.
The beauty queen and actress went to New York University where she studied at Tisch School of the Arts.
Jackie first made an appearance in Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo, but met Adam when she played a waitress in Big Daddy.
She previously said she didn’t think she would meet her life partner while filming a movie.
Adam recalled their first meeting in an Instagram post in 2020.
He said: “22 years ago today we locked eyes and fell deep. Look forward to the next 22, young lady. Love you my forever girl.”
After falling in love on a movie set, Adam and Jackie tied the knot on June 22, 2003.
The glamorous ceremony was at Dick Clark’s Malibu estate and had a star-studded wedding party.
The traditional Jewish ceremony took place outdoors on a gorgeous day.
The two have been happily married since and share two daughters.
