about disenfranchised Gen Xers Stiller
later became famous for playing funny
losers but here he portrays a
materialistic yuppie exec at a hip TV
station who is aggressively competing
for the love of a free-spirited
documentary filmmaker I want to do that
again I want to just look up at the
stars and take the time to it
smell
everything skiller’s youth and
inexperience actually make this some of
his best early work number nine David

Museum this blockbuster franchise see
Stiller cast as a divorcee who takes on
a gig as a night security guard at a
museum while trying to be a role model
for his son he gets caught up in wild
antics when the exhibits come to life
only Stiller could make a premise this
silly work like a charm and he does as
he haphazardly deals with minor
inconveniences like rude monkeys and
fossilized dinosaurs on the loose Teddy
this guy’s been pushing me and pushing
me and I’m sick of it number seven mr.
furious mystery men as the star of this
superhero spoof Stiller plays a
motorcycle driving hothead whose only
power is his temper as well as the
leader of a group of minor league crime
fighters that stands in the shadow of
Captain amazing he gives the film heart
and humor by dishing out really lame
comebacks
whipped creams Jerry stop and rage bad
guys should not let him get on top of
their swanky rides number six
Gaylord Greg Focker meet the parents
nice guys Stiller gets pushed to the
brink as he deals with his fiance’s
father who happens to be an ex CIA agent
and a complete control freak stiller’s
unbelievably nervous performance as an
awkwardly named male nurse helps make
this family comedy work even though he
can’t get anything right or secure a
place in the circle of trust what’s that
you want me to what you another question
sure I got one question for you number
five white Goldman dodge ball a true
underdog story this casting is a perfect
fit
Stiller plays an exercise
as nut and the weirdo owner of Globo gym
competing against Vince Vaughn in the
dodgeball tournament Stiller shows total
dedication to his loser athlete role by
sporting an outrageous mustache spouting
tons of hilariously idiotic retorts
nobody makes me bleed my own blood
nobody and harboring a secret love of
junk food sound familiar
well he played the similar character of
Tony Perkis years earlier in heavy
weights number four
Tugg Speedman Tropic Thunder Stiller
wrote directed and starred in this
send-up of Hollywood excess he mocks his
peers by playing a prima donna who is
out to rekindle his acting career
following several box-office bombs by
appearing in a Vietnam War film you know
there were times when I was doing Jack
that I actually felt retarded like
really retarded even when he’s not on
camera his character carries on as a
hapless sylvester stallone type before
he’s captured by a drug lord and forced
to entertain his men this film is
over-the-top satirical and among
Stiller’s aeneas performances if you can
believe it you went full retard man
number three chaz Tenenbaum The Royal
Tenenbaums this Wes Anderson flick
features Stiller as Royal Tenenbaums
middle child who is a curly-haired
tracksuit wearing real estate genius
Stiller shows off his ability to switch
between comedy and drama as he deals
with the recent loss of his wife in a
plane crash and his subsequent fear of
everything as well as his father as he
tries to make amends hey are you
listening to me yes I am I think you’re
having a nervous breakdown
number two Ted Stroehmann there’s
something about Mary
this Farrelly Brothers laughs right puts
Stiller on the map this movie has served
as a template for many of Stiller’s
roles as the loser who has everything go
wrong in the most shocking ways possible
Oh in this case even though he’s no
longer a geeky teen he’s still in love
with his high school crush and way out
of his league he’ll do anything to win
her heart too bad he’s got tons of
competition number 1 Derek Zoolander
Zoolander taking the top spot on our
list is Stiller’s milestone role as a
clueless male model who is brainwashed
into assassinating the malaysian prime
minister to keep child labor in play
Zoolander has to deal with competition
from a rising star but his troubles take
a turn for the worst
after a freak gasoline fight accident
hey Zoolander maybe just a pretty face
but it’s his mannerisms and empty-headed
nasai keep us coming back for more did
