The Many Choads of Ben Stiller
Posted January 16th, 2008You saw the film—Zoolander, starring Ben Stiller as the ultra beautiful male model with the dazzling smile and room temperature IQ. That goofy character seems to have achieved a sort of immortality, as modern choads began faithfully offering up worship to designer labels and hyperstyled hair, and giving their best “Blue Steel” in their photographs. But as we started looking at the film career of Mr. Stiller, we realized that Zoolander wasn’t the only choady character in his repertoire. In fact Ben Stiller has made a career out of playing choads of varying degrees. And since we have that kind of time on our hands, we put together a little graph to demonstrate the many choads of Ben Stiller:
Going back to 1994, Stiller hit an 8 on the Choad Scale playing Captain Corporate in the 90s slacker angst film Reality Bites.
In 2001 Stiller hit what was potentially the greatest moment of choad history with the title role in the ultimate choad tutorial film Zoolander. Totally hot, totally vacuous, totally warped, Derek Zoolander started off as a cartoon version of a choad, until real choads started to genuinely adopt his behavior. Who knew the popped collar and lip gloss phenomenon would catch on like that?
Then in 2004 Stiller appeared in Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story as the notoriously choadtastic White Goodman. Complete with fake gritty voice, bad guy mustache, and full blown Napoleon complex, Stiller spiked the choad charts again in his muscle obsessive, feathered hair role.
