What did you think of Fletcher? Me although he was supposed to be a snot nosed jerk who was totally full of himself and he was also the bad guy I thought he was really hilarious and he is my favorite character throughout the movie, he basically stoled every scene he was in and had me laughing everytime I've seen him.

I totally agree. While it might be felt by many that Michael Richards came out the breakout star (due to his subsequent casting in Seinfeld), McCarthy, as you said, stole every scene he was in. He played a special kind of nasty.

I really thought that Kevin McCarthy stoled every scene he was in as Fletcher, I think that his performance as Fletcher is one of the greatest performances anybody has ever put out.

I thought he was even more hilarious when he got mad that his network channel was no longer #1!

He's more like a Mr. Burns bad guy.

I love when he said the community means as much as a festering ball of dog snot.
I couldn't stop laughing!

He seems like such a sweet, misunderstood old man.

He is the very epitome of all that is evil, which is why he's awesome.
It's like a breakfast cereal, but with more fnck.

He was the only real actor in the movie.
(and I say this as a HUGE fan of the movie)

Fletcher was hilarious. His name should have been Felcher, but Weird Al works clean. It blew my mind when I saw Kevin McCarthy, the actor who played Fletcher in the movie "Kansas City Bomber". He played it straight in that movie.

I felt bad for him. Here he is this hard working entrepreneur/job creator who is attacked and destroyed by some lazy good for nothing who is just handed a TV station by his degenerate gambler of an uncle. This film represents everything that is wrong with America.
