Pick the Pretentious Asshole

Paltrow is pretentious but she's also amusing and I've never heard of her treating people badly. I'm not sure if I'd label her an asshole.

I will always love Alec Baldwin for 30 Rock-- I don't care if he's an asshole. And Steven Segal has always impressed me for speaking near perfect Osaka dialect Japanese. Why did you leave Ryan Reynolds and Jennifer Garner off the list? They are the ones who SUCK most of all.

GP may be pretentious, but I respect that she leans into it. No 'one of the people' pretense from her.

Jake Gyllenhaal ain’t known as “Jerk Gyllenhaal” for nothing.

Where's the "all of the above" option?

Richard Dreyfuss

Finally -- one poll that does NOT need a Vivian Vance option.

Although it's likely that Bill Frawley would disagree.

Op did you forget to add your name to the list? Of course you did.

Wow, that is a good list of pretentious assholes! I’m gonna go with Chevy Chase though, because of SNL and Vacation and Caddyshack

OP, you forgot “entitled.”

You all disappoint me so, so much by excluding me from this list.

Blake Lively. Thread closed.

Billy Porter.

GOOP

Ben Affleck.

The next generation. Pretentious & tasty.

Who is the LEAST pretentious asshole on the list?

That’s a tough list. My first reaction was to pick Richard Dreyfuss. Then I remembered how superior Joaquin’s Oscar speech was.

It's a tie between Shatner and Chevy Chase.

Is pretentious really the right word for most of the assholes?

R20 Self-Important, hiring book curators, lecturing on civics while being hostile, etc.
