Adam Devine Breaks Down His Most Iconic Characters | GQ

[@manne7080]

What about Modern Family? His character on that show is different than his other characters. He is so good!

[@manne7080]

I can't wait for him to do a more serious role. I think he will kill it.

[@mccallosone4903]

yeah thats his only role where i really like him

[@madshansen8612]

FUNNY i first saw him in modern family before his other characters :D .. so i started liked him very much, then i felt he only did ONE kind of role after ( the jackass ).. but after the years. i really enjoy the 3 new amigos :D really funny treo :D

[@nickbotic]

Right? Andy was literally the antithesis of Adam Demamp/Alexxx/all the other typecast roles Devine has had. That definitely should've been included.

[@samsamsamsamsamsamsam4418]

Yea

[@ronaldinho4eva1]

This man is so naturally funny. He's one of my absolute favorite actors.

[@Hugo_Tate]

“Iconic characters” Beer Pong Guy #1

[@elenam3798]

LMFAOOO

[@tombro911]

Cant get over the fact that dude is 34 years old. Got the genes equivalent of an Amazonian baby

[@lavenderllamamusic]

I agree it's probably too early to have him doing this but I hope they bring him back again when he's older. I absolutely loved Workaholics so seeing the dudes get roles makes me a proud fan. They deserve it

[@MrGMovieReviews]

Literally plays the same character in everything

[@Odin31b]

Needs a good dark role now..

[@MrGMovieReviews]

Odin31b He’s in the new Jody Hill show so that’s possible

[@c.jarmstrong3111]

Just plays himself tbh

[@benjicalavera3218]

lol but for the most part it works

[@blotter-water]

yeah it almost feels like GQ is pranking him with this.

[@Emilyxx495]

He’s like a young jack black

[@aptcaptc3098]

emily robinson I mean he is the nephew of Jack Black

[@OzkrsTV]

emily robinson I believed you....

[@barrymulligan2378]

I've been saying that for years!!

[@julianmar3321]

You mean discount... he’s a discount jack black

[@FRANCO-cm7ol]

Hmmmmm not a bad comparison

[@Stearnsy1979]

Love the De Niro impression. *Jiggling*

[@MikeMJPMUNCH]

Kinda disappointed he didn't talk about Mordern Family or The Final Girls

[@penguinplays7768]

Adam devine is incredible! He’s funny and such an overall genuinely great guy.

[@domanddev]

Mike and Dave need wedding dates is one of the most underrated comedies

[@audreypace187]

I cannot get over how much I love this man, he is just so likable.

[@DavidGowers]

Can we PLEASE get one of these videos with Brendan Fraser??

[@thecampfire4877]

*YES!*

[@JBrotsis1]

Please!

[@marcelopena3537]

Interesting request

[@dezzyraze8371]

Yes!!!!

[@milsxx]

I want him to make a comeback. Hollywood straight up blacklisted him 😔

[@AB-gz9yb]

I only recently found out Adam did stand up. I’d recommend every fan watches his stand up on Netflix it’s awesome

[@clipanimez]

It was very bad don’t recommend it

[@skengdaddy]

Ah, the iconic role 'Beer Pong Guy #1' who could forget

[@MoDSoUnds93]

I haven’t even started watching this and I already know that this is going to be amazing I love Adam DeVine

[@JamminOnThe1]

Liked him in Pitch Perfect. But he pretty much plays himself in everything.

[@mel818]

@Jacob Sirak yeah, that's not really it.

[@misspriss2482]

He's not playing himself; he's just really good at playing that persona. He does have range though. You can see it in When We First Met.

[@mattychristian]

The crying scene in Mike and Dave is the most hilariously underrated scene of the past 10 years. It is my bad day movie for sure.

[@nekulicious]

My only beef with pitch perfect was they didnt find roles for blake and ders. They coulda been on the german team or something.

[@patricks5478]

This guy does pretty much play himself in every movie and im more than ok with it. Dude puts me in a better mood.

[@justinchildree5810]

I laughed sooooooooo hard when he hit that chicken inthe face with the four wheeler tire lmao! I just lose it every single time because he(Adam Devine's character) had the BEST movements to get her out of the way lmao

[@lca89]

"Adam the main attraction DeMamp"

[@SleepFan771]

Workaholics was hilarious, but he is always just Adam in everything

[@doublet.4230]

He's good on Modern Family

[@xxcrysad3000xx]

His Netflix special is probably the best they've put out so far.

[@Isaiah_Montenegro]

He needs to make a movie about George w Bush in college

[@Afrimusican]

Ha!

[@sirskonkaluque4920]

The De Niro impression was the best! hahaha He has some of the best facial expressions.

[@nesscastil]

Was waiting for “Isn’t it Romantic” then realize this was 2018 ...

[@Skippyy_plays]

I love how the trio stayed togeather threw so much and how he’s basicly the same person in all of them just ither all party or slightly grounded lol

[@danielwilson7657]

Adam is the more successful Cody Ko

[@claudial3875]

I hope Cody gets to this level some day

[@jessenelson4747]

Too bad he's like.. 90. Doesn't have much longer.

[@claudial3875]

@@jessenelson4747 ok wow, Cody doesn't look a day over 45, don't be rude.

[@theglokage987]

Cody Ko seems smarter than him

[@hrvbox]

lmfaooooo I've never thought of this but you're right

[@BaronVonBielski]

“He’s barely been around he hasn’t had any iconic roles” expect the fact that he’s been in the business for ten years, had a show run that entire time, wrote and started in his own movie, had a big role in a singing movie that had three movies, and more I don’t even have to name. Clearly we have some butthurt people who are upset with their own success, as in having none.

[@icemann156]

BaronVonBielski nobody is upset about our own success for real what? We are just saying he isn’t Jeff bridges or Daniel day Lewis. He’s funny but he doesn’t have any acting roles that blow people away. He plays himself usually no hate but I won’t go out of my way to buy a physical copy of any of his movies like I would and did with the big Lebowski, gangs of New York, walk the Line, the master and so on. Nobody is saying mike and Dave need wedding dates is cinematic masterpiece.

[@thefancyredhead]

come back when you make as much money as him, or when you’re as famous as him lol

[@chuggaa100]

Lol you're way overplaying his success

[@chuggaa100]

Also none of that changes the fact that none of his roles are iconic. Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park is iconic. Beer pong guy number 1 is not

[@XxXspawndXxX]

I just want more episodes of Workaholics forever

[@zacharyzamora3049]

Before this i always thought Adam Devine was one of the most annoying dudes in Hollywood cause he always plays a party hard crazy animal guy. But after watching this, him acknowledging that in a humorous way and giving insight on how he views his characters, i have a new strong appreciation for him

[@churchkyloren1703]

Adam DeVine Show 1. Christoff, Karate Tournament Announcer - American Dad 2014 Movies 2. Mike Stangle - Mike And Dave Need Wedding Dates 2016 3. Julian - Ice Age 5 Collision Course 2016 4. Beer Pong Guy #1 - Neighbors 2014

[@adamsanchez5219]

"And I'm your party captain too" - Michael Scott

[@schmidt640]

He is amazing in The Righteous Gemstones so far. I love this dude.

[@haley9293]

He needs to play a different role! I really like him and would love to see him as a more serious character, just for a change! He deserves to play more than just this one character that people assume is his personality

[@misspriss2482]

Talk to casting. Most actors get typecast/shunted in a certain persona. He's capable of more, but someone will have to give him the chance to do it.

[@13MrKieran]

I love him and want to see him in way more!

[@jaquelinecruz2471]

My favorite actor hands down !!!

[@cornlips7247]

Adam is one of my favorite comedy actors. When we first met is my oft favorites.

[@gatewayrealtor664]

@1:33 that thing he did moving one eye inward then back out freaked me out

[@connoryaps]

whenever i see Adam i can only see a younger Jack Black

[@dryherbvoter]

I just binge watched Workaholics. So hilarious.

[@JordanBean12345]

Adam is like if Jack Black had a baby in 1988 and gave it away.

[@leviweiss4135]

If you haven seen When We First Met, you should definitely check it out.

[@thecampfire4877]

Honestly, Pitch Perfect could have so easily been a train wreck.

[@ChronoKnight-hj8ps]

Im so happy the intern made it on the list its my favorite comedy movie

[@UrbanLegend2k11]

"DeMamp Camp!" 💪🏼

[@alfredocollum7658]

Final Girls should have been on this list, it was a underrated horror gem!!!

[@dexterdajuice6913]

They cant sling the word iconic around so much. He has some good characters but everything isn’t ICONIC

[@ashtyrrell8067]

I loooove Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates!

[@jennifersierra6696]

Still watching mailordercomedy in 2021!

[@mixueer]

Why did they not talk about Modern Family??? That's one of his best roles!

[@thecampfire4877]

I already miss Workaholics so much.

[@marshmellow5839]

Once I thought Adam Devine was Adam Levine. I thought they were the same person.😂

[@graysonparker1183]

5:40 his eyes move separately lmao

[@iwannbeyournumber1]

I want to see more of Blake. You see Adam Devine in so much stuff, Anders has been expanding like he actually plays very different characters when hes not with the guys. But I never see Blake. Also COME on you didnt include final girls? That movie is so good.

[@Medellin1823]

They miss one of his best movies, Final Girls. His character was sexaholic and was always trying to get into a girls pants. There was supposed to be a sequel but i don't what happened to it.

[@bree6353]

blake and ders? i hate them. i hate them, as people. I LOVE HIM 😂

[@killerpinkart6173]

He plays the same character in EVERYTHING.

[@brandino561]

people say he hadn't has any iconic roles but yet everybody was on top of Jonah hills most iconic video. Adam has been out as long as jonah

[@Matdildi]

I love him so much, he is so likeable!!!! What is not to like? He is funny, cute, sweet and fun to be around him!!! 😍😘His wife must be so lucky woman! I wish I was be so lucky!!!

[@hirarana93]

I like him as a grounded character like in intern and his scene with shelley in when we first met

[@Paineinyourblank]

Duuuuude.. no mention of The Final girls? That was my fav role of his

[@adammarquez5203]

Does anybody else think that Adam Devine has an exotic look? To him?

[@nobodymandgaf420]

4:18 game over, man!

[@freddie221000]

His eye roll at 1:31 is insane

[@SeamlesslyAwkwerd]

I feel like the only role he can get is “College jock drunk party dude”

[@Drift-Tastik]

Or top intern ?

[@allthatOTHERshiiet]

8:39 DEADD

[@DrummingKid101]

"Take it sleazy! And I'm out✌🏼️" -demamp the champ

[@benrosn8154]

Awesome actor and comedic actor/comedian . This should have a million views

[@schrettarichie3927]

Happy 38th Birthday to Adam Devine

[@ric112]

If these are his most iconic, I dread to see what the rest are like

[@craigmackssj3680]

I love him 😂

[@brianmoyachiuz905]

DeVine is divine 😂

[@codeman5811]

A movie with Adam And Jack Black as his Father would be outrageously funny

[@geralyntrejo8452]

There was an episode of workaholics like that....sorta

[@nickslowlife2929]

He was on a few episodes of boy meets world as one of the random kids with a few lines

[@TheFlratcatcher]

Dude is very funny, And dem boys 🔥🔥

[@agirlnamedbrett.]

workaholics is ahh just pure love.

[@londonl.3069]

Adam said his buddies says he would “crush it” in Pitch Perfect. 😉 #FatAmyBumper #FatBump please have Adam in Pitch Perfect 4 if there is another one.. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 His is historical in it and works so well With Rebel. There chemistry on set is just...😱😱😍😍😍

[@jasonmoore3980]

I love Adam.

[@manchesterisblue1023]

love this guy

[@nizzy6627]

they forgot pizza steve

[@creedbratton596]

Modern Family role?

[@bdaily9107]

Lachlan Dique that’s some youtuber named jimmy

[@dom2326]

lmao the de niro face

[@ligairi]

How do you include that National Lampoons bs and a bit part in Neighbors and skip The Final Girls? Literally the only reason I watched this video.

[@rebeccasuraci7666]

Omg business trip best episode. Everrr... help the chair is Spanish.

[@nobodymandgaf420]

10:22 captain morgan

[@djkoolrod]

Game over, man 😂😂😂😂😂

[@oliviabrownvlogs204]

Adam: Every role is like a little different Me: yep...one dude that parties....another one that likes to party but also works...another dude in a frat that likes to party....a dude that’s a party OFFICER....a dude that parties a lot to get this girl he likes...totally different

[@ploxxybb]

That De Niro impression BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@richardvasquez6746]

Generic party guy #4 GQ: Yup that's iconic

[@deezye636]

This is just his whole filmography

[@iwannbeyournumber1]

Its really not hes been in so much. They didn't even put in the horror movie.

[@nobodymandgaf420]

2:47 pitch perfect

[@Aaronjbrowne]

Adam would play a good psychopathic killer i reckon. He'll definitely get more roles in the future. Funny man

[@mullaoslo]

You need to be an iconic actor to have done iconic characters

[@mouzaa455]

Can you get Jake Gyllenhaal to do this please!!!!!

[@ArmandoBloom3005]

Your wish is fullfilled, GQ did it with Jake two days ago!

[@giaselma9281]

so so so adorable :)

[@PatheticApathetic]

“Most iconic roles?” He’s been acting for around 10 years, and I’ve only ever known of him for like 5

[@neonskies4205]

I miss workaholics season 1-5 i think haha
