Just how big does one's ego have to be to not realize the praise people give him or her is mock praise?

Cool thread.

Shatner IS cool.

Immediately I thought of Hasselhoff. In Click I don't think he realizes he's being lampooned.

I think Shatner realizes people laugh at his acting. I'm not sure if Norris even believes he is acting.

Tough call..

I vote Hasselhoff over Norris, but by a close margin. Making fun of David Hasselhoff is timeless.

I could take Sean Connery in a fight... I could definitely take him.

Shatner doesn't belong in this poll.

I don't know. Judging by his appearances on Whose Line is it Anyway? and Australian TV it would seem he does have a bit of self-depreciating humour. Oh and his cameo in Spongebob too.

Yeah, that's why M:I-3 did the worst of the series, despite being way better than the awful second one.

I think they all know what is up and are playing dumb to continue the charade.

My sig is 1 pixel too big.

If it saves me from having to hear any more Chuck Norris jokes, I welcome the sweet release.

I'm gonna vote Elijah Wood, but mostly because I want people to start making fun of him.

Shatner is cool, he takes the piss out of himself which I like.

He appeared on a celebrity game show I saw when in the UK, was very funny.

Hasslehoff is a d1ck though.

Tom Cruise & Micheael Jackson are missing from this poll in a bad way.

Shatner seems to have great sense of humor about it all -- I like the guy.
