Rob Schneider

Rob Schneider is an American comedian and actor who rose to prominence on Saturday Night Live in the early 1990s, known for catchphrase-heavy characters.

He became associated with lowbrow comedy through films like Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo and frequent collaborations with Adam Sandler.

His name sometimes serves as shorthand for a certain brand of broad, critically panned comedy: It's got that Rob Schneider energy.
