The hilarious truth behind Dennis Quaid meltdown
Rodrigo_Amaro3 February 2023
Funny or Die enjoyed the viral wave of a leaked video of actor Dennis Quaid lashing out against a director and crew of a project he was shooting back in 2015. The weird meltdown (of which no one knows what was he really filming, if it was real or a spoof) revolves Quaid yelling random and unimaginable profanities against people behind the cameras; so the comedy group decided to present what really happened behind the scenes and they create a whole scenario where the actors keeps getting distracted by an unknown actor wearing a bizarre costume of whom Quaid calls him Dopey the Dick (Bob Turton).

If seeing the actual video things look confusing and weird, with this "fake" explanation it all makes some sense and it gets really funny. The man is on full concentration with his speech and the director keeps advising to change his style of delivering of lines until Dopey shows up much to Quaid's annoyance and fury. The ideas created around the meltdown were pretty funny though a little childish sometimes but it works. And gotta love actors losing their cool on set - on the wave of the hilarious, immortal and classical Christian Bale audio rant on "Terminator: Salvation" which even got remixed songs to most recently Tom Cruise exploding with workers who weren't wearing masks during pandemic (that wasn't funny, it was dark and serious), and thanks to those that we get spoofs here and there (Michael Cera has a fake one but I'm not sure if Funny or Die was involved). Either way, if the one before the spoof was real then Quaid is a good sport for making fun of himself and that's the main attraction of this short. The man was insanely funny - the explanation for the "Blow me" tirade was hysterical. 8/10.
