9. Pauly Shore

This stand-up comedian was all the rage back in the 90s. Pauly Shore’s first break came with the MTV show “Totally Pauly,” which made him popular over the next couple of years.

His first movie was “Encino Man” in 1992. Staring alongside Brendan Fraser, Shore didn’t quite get the results he expected. The flick failed in the box office, and so did every other movie he made since.

This was probably because people get bored with the same style of comedy after they hear it year after year. Pauly Shore’s desperate try to restore the fame he once had ended in him losing the little respect people had for him completely.

At one of his stand-ups, a police officer came onto the stage, got into an argument with Shore which escalated into Shore getting punched by the officer. The video of the punch circulated the media for a while, only to be revealed that the whole thing was staged.
