Because people are stupid.

Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller... The list of so-called comedians who aren't actually funny amazes and depresses me.
Agreed.
I understand why people think he is stupid, but I don't understand why people think he is funny.
But you got to look at the numbers: Lifetime Gross Total (28): $2,365,523,099 - Average: $84,482,968, just him in a movie will get a good return if you keep your budget down.

People find him funny because people USED to find him funny... like, twenty years ago. See Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, and the Wedding Singer. Now those teens who saw those movies have kids of their own... and you can see how he's chilled out along the way. I don't have any kids myself, but I still find Big Daddy to be absolutely hilarious, because when I was in my 20's, that's how I expected I would act if ever in that situation. The Longest Yard was really well done. And Little Nicky, well. It's 100% ridiculous, and that's why it's funny.
I mean, Adam's now pushing close to 50... and yet his movies... well... they're still relatable to we who grew up with his style of comedy, and even offer some roll-over yuks to those folks who have kids.

And for those of us who didn't find him funny, like, 20 years ago...
Nope, still not funny.
Nope, still not funny.
it is Q Rating - also to add to my post above -
Adam is also a producer Lifetime Gross Total (30): $2,474,308,559 Average: $82,476,952 and a writer Lifetime Gross Total (10): $850,653,590 Average: $85,065,359. All this goes into his Q rating, so it is easy to say he is the most overpaid ACTOR but he is also doing more than just acting.

The fact that he's getting paid at all to commit that crime against humanity that he calls "acting" is enough to tell you he's overpaid. If he got paid a dime for his entire lifetime of work, he'd still be grossly overpaid
