[release]Ben Stiller is being honoured for his comedic contributions by the British Academy of Film and Television.
The group's Los Angeles branch says Stiller will receive the Charlie Chaplin Britannia Award for Excellence in Comedy.
Veteran producer Nigel Lythgoe called Stiller 'a master of comedy who, just like the legendary filmmaker for whom this award is named, embodies the remarkable multi-hyphenate talents of actor, writer, director and producer.' Lythgoe serves as chairman of Bafta Los Angeles.
Stiller will receive the honour at the Brittania Awards on Nov 30, when actress Helena Bonham Carter and animator John Lasseter are also being recognised.[/release]

Ben Stiller annoys me because he always plays some neurotic and exasperated character in any movie in which he is the star.

that's like getting annoyed because Mozart always wrote classical music
i doubt ben stiller knows how to do anything else, like his father he breads the essence of jewish comedy like woody allen, larry david, and jerry seinfeld.
He deserves it for Zoolander.

I've kind of gotten sick of him. I thought he was really funny at one point though.
He's like Adam Sandler in that he always has a stupid accent in every film he's in. Like the one in Zoolander.

British comedy is superior to American comedy.
It's funny because Ben Stiller isn't funny at all, but then again we are talking about british comedy awards

it's funny because you're american
How the hell do people not see the british as funny? Monty Python? Jimmy Carr? Eddie Izzard? Tim Minchin? I can go on but I shouldn't have to, british people are hilarious.
Almost as funny as Canadians.
Also Blackadder, Father Ted (well, partially Irish), Fawlty Towers, Phoenix Nights e.t.c
Or, more modern, Outnumbered or the Inbetweeners. (though it just makes me cringe)
i like the skit he does in tim and eric

Peep Show, The IT Crowd.
THE OFFICE
If you get him in small doses, he's hilarious. But his acting is the kind of acting that can get stale fast. So he's amazing when doing cameo appearances.
I heard he's an absolute bitch to work with.

He will forever be a great actor to me because of Zoolander.
