How to do the shortest interview with John Cusack ever has been added as a related post - related requested by kulpims.

Biggest fish-burn yet!

His name is Fishburne with an e. That is Lawrence Fishburne's name, not Samuel L. Jackson

I love how he keeps waiting for the reporter to start talking before rolling over him with another example of who he isn't.

"Working for Marvel, the Super Bowl commercial, did you get a lot of reaction to that Super Bowl commercial?"

Not sure Rubin made any mistake here.

Kinda sick how the dude keeps falling all overhimself to belittle himself for the mistake. Not suprising though considering the 24/7 race programming in America.

Adding video to channels (Talks) - requested by ant.

Yeah, I say F You Jackson...you're trolling in search of 'racism' to ridicule, but you forgot you DID a SUPERBOWL COMMERCIAL, for MARVEL. (EDIT:at least 2 Super bowl commercials) Who's the asshat here? The one who asked a reasonable question, then let his guest ridicule and lambast him for the GUEST'S misunderstanding, or the guest that forgot he did a commercial so incorrectly he accused the reporter of forgetting who the guest is, and of being racist.
Once again, F you Jackson...where's the public apology? This is 100% your bad and your mistake.

Oh yeah, and the title is misleading...should be 'Sam Jackson THINKS Reporter mistakes Samuel L Jackson for Laurence Fishburne'
The reporter didn't help himself there though. He should have just rolled his eyes at the end and said "Captain America" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8o9PnbiB6KU
or "ROBOCOP" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0hVAtdkV7M
or "I said the Marvel commercial", that would have shamed Samuel so good. Apparently the lead up to this was clips from Captain America, soooo.
Dammit, I liked Samuel L. Jackson.
EDIT: apparently the 'reporter' feels he did make a mistake, but didn't ever explain what the mistake was, but he did profusely apologize for it. I'm confused.

Do you really believe that the "commercial" the interviewer was talking about was a movie trailer for Captain America 2? Nobody calls movie trailers commercials. He was obviously referring to the Kia ad where Fishburne played Morpheus again. If the interviewer had meant the CA2 trailer, he would have said so instead of admitting that he got Fishburne and Jackson confused.

Samuel L. Jackson has every right to troll this man. And you know why? Because it's hilarious. Get off yer weird little racism high horse.

He doesn't have to come on this show, he's fucking Samuel L. Jackson, a person that gets paid to be hilarious, and might I add be hilariously offensive to mainstream bullshitters like yourself.

It's entertainment or did you forget that? If he has an opportunity to milk a social situation in his favor, he will. And why shouldn't he? To make white people feel better? Fuck you dude.

Actually, yes I do believe that. Since the lead up was (apparently, I have not seen it only read it) clips of Captain America, and "Working for Marvel, the Super Bowl commercial, did you get a lot of reaction to that Super Bowl commercial?"...I do believe that's what he meant, and was confused when Jackson angrily said "What commercial?!?"...and he seemed to second guess himself/his staff that it was in the Super Bowl. Only Jackson mentioned car or credit card commercials, the 'interviewer' mentioned Marvel, which had 2 Samuel Jackson Super Bowl commercials.
Today I've seen the clip re-played 1/2 dozen times, and they always removed the "working with Marvel" part in order to make the race baiting outrage make sense.
Seems cut and dry to me. Also hilarious...on both sides.
EDIT: Oh, and I call trailers "commercials"...I'm old and old school.
I never heard him admit he got them confused, only give a generic 'forced' apology that he was 'wrong'...I have not heard him say what he was wrong for, and I've looked.

Hey! I never said he didn't have the right to be a troll. This is America, and you have the right to hate whoever the f*ck you want! You also have the right to be as stupidly or disingenuously wrong and to intentionally create untenable situations to milk in your favor (at someone else's expense). I have the right to say so and call you an asshat if I think you are one(especially if I have evidence to back me up).
My racist horse is fairly short.
I found his ranting hilarious and only slightly offending...does that somehow mean I can't call it race baiting if that's what I think it is? Perhaps it was unintentional, but I still say it was Samuel that jumped to racism, not the 'reporter' that said something racist.
SAMUEL DID 2 SUPERBOWL COMMERCIALS that he 'forgot' about...for Marvel. It was his answer "What commercial" that threw the host. He should have simply answered that question instead of looking stupidly offstage, but there was an obvious answer. Terrible host+terrible guest=ridiculous race baiting clip.
If I have the opportunity to crap on an obvious (to me) race baiter, why shouldn't I? To make race baiters feel better? Fuck them dude! ;-)
Bwaaahaahaahaa! Mainstream bullshitter! I may be a bullshitter, but buddy I'm so far from main stream I'm in the desert. ;-}
If you have to create the racism you're complaining about, you're the racist and a problem, funny or not, white or black, even if you're doing it for 'entertainment' or by mistake. That's all.

...and in case my answer to this was too cryptic, the reason why I think he shouldn't do this is it makes Samuel the racist to instantly assume an (perceived) identity/filmography mistake about a black man by a white man is automatically due to racism.
Racism hurts minorities the most, so they have even MORE reason to not be racist themselves, and to not see it where it doesn't exist.

You know what?
Samuel L Jackson does kinda look like Laurence Fishburne. They've also played some similar roles (Morpheus, Mace Windu?)

Guess what else? Elijah Wood looks a bit like Tobey Maguire.

And Summer Glau looks like Olivia Wilde.

And Reese Witherspoon looks like ... well, pretty much every hollywood blond apparently.

People look like other people, and funnily enough, a huge defining factor in your look is your skin tone. I personally have often been compared with a young Harrison Ford*..... Billy Dee Williams.... not so much....

*not actually true.

Zeus: Why you keep calling me Jesus? I look Puerto Rican
to you!?

John: That guy back there called you Jesus.

Zeus: He didn't call me Jesus, he said, "Hey, Zeus."
My name, is 'Zeus!'

John: Zeus?

Zeus: Yeah, Zeus! As in father of Apollo?.... Mount Olympus!?
Don't fuck with me or I'll shove a lightning-bolt up your ass!? Zeus! You got
a problem with that?!

John: No!??

Will Ferrell vs Chad Smith???

Sign me up for that!

I dunno. He did say Marvel commercial and Marvel had nothing to do with the KIA ad, but at the same time he himself appears confused when Jackson takes offense. I think maybe he did have the two things mixed up in his head.

Good on both of them for making a routine interview far more entertaining.

EDIT: Nevermind, listening to it again, he clearly is talking about two different things--basically listing the things Jackson has done recently. His exact quote is:

I'll tell you what, you're working for Marvel, (pause) the Superbowl commercial--did you get a lot of reaction to that Superbowl commerical?

I thought he was confused because he was prepared to talk about Captain America and/or Robocop, which he was fairly sure played in the super bowl (and reportedly right before the interview), but Samuel acted like there was NO commercial, and was already pissed off about it instantly, making the host second guess himself/his staff. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's how it looked to me.
I certainly didn't hear a pause there. It was more like..."I tell you what, (small pause), your working for marvel that super bowl commercial, did you get a lot of reaction to that superb owl commercial?
If he had said "I tell you what, your working for Kia that super bowl commercial, did you get a lot of reaction to that super bowl commercial?" I would be right there with those claiming he made a mistake. Since Samuel is in 2 Marvel movies, you might think he would have asked "Was I in a super bowl commercial?" instead of wrongly and angrily implying he was in NO super bowl commercial. (True, he did ask "what super bowl commercial?" and the host failed to answer, but Samuel also cut him off the rest of the interview so perhaps he was going to answer but didn't want to interrupt the already angry guest, or perhaps he's just a horrible interviewer).
(BTW, I've never seen this host, I don't mean to defend him if he IS a known racist, or if he admits it was a case of mistaken identity. I have not heard of either of these so far.)
I'm still sticking with my contention that Samuel made the mistake here unless the host admits he didn't know his guest, because that's how it looks to me, clearly.

...and wow, how did I not notice him saying "What Super bowl commercial?" with ROBOCOP glowing behind him?!? I guess Samuel forgot why he was there completely. BWAAAHAAAHAAA!

EDIT:I'm wondering, did Samuel maybe hear "...Working for CAR (muffled), the super bowl commercial..."? That would explain why he thought the question was about Kia. Hmmmm. That would explain a lot.

It's not just funny--it's science. The eyes pre-process images just like a computer would process from a computer cashe. In evolutionary terms it stores data so that threats can be more readily identified. This is why one race typically looks like everyone in their race.

Well at a certain cascading point your science example goes flying right out the fucking window when you consider that anyone with fucking ocular prowess and at least a 90 I.Q. can see (at age 2) that Lawrence Fish-burn and Sam Jackson look no fucking alike whatsoever...Try that formula on any euro-mutt hybrids...
