Joe Thinks Daniel Craig is the Best James Bond

Or what fucking new movie with James Bond? When's that bitch coming out? I want to see James Bond win again! I want to see James Bond win. I'm tired of waiting. You need to be James Bond, dude. I'm not interested in James Bond. That's not what I'm saying. He's been dropping these James Bond. He wasn't even peaking. I do not want to be a spy. Yeah, I'm a Roger Moore guy. I do love those movies. Me too. Who was your favorite Bond? Daniel Craig by a mile. By a goddamn country mile. The only thing that separates people from my opinion is nostalgia. If you just looked at it objectively, if I said which one of these motherfuckers really looks like he can kill people. There's one answer. It's Daniel Craig. You don't really think that Timothy Dalton's out there nuking fuckers? It's stabbing people. Roger Moore. Roger Moore is fantastic. But you don't believe that Roger Moore is legitimately out there fucking people up? You don't know. Look, he's got that dead Ken, like Barbie and Ken. Listen to me, bitch. He's a Barbie. You got two options. You got Sean Connery. If you're being dishonest and you want nostalgia, who doesn't love Sean Connery? I love Sean Connery. But it's just like the difference between going back to the early days of Jim Jeffries being the heavyweight champion of the world versus Mike Tyson. The newer ones are better. You might decide, whoo, Jim Jeffries was the old days. John L. Sullivan with his mustache. How long do you think John L. Sullivan would survive with a prime time Mike Tyson? How many seconds? That would be the bet. How many seconds does he live from a place that just fucking crushes his skull? Look at Roger Moore, though. That's a robot, though. Roger Moore is a robot alien. You got two options if you're being honest. It's not disrespectful for Roger Moore. It's not disrespectful for Tim Dalton. Look at that face. I don't even know who some of these guys are. You got two options. Look at the Pixar one. You got Sean Connery if you're a silly bitch and you got Daniel Craig if you're being honest. Sean Connery is a wonderful actor. But if I had a choice, if the two of them are locked in a room, who's going to live? Sean Connery or Daniel Craig? Daniel Craig is going to kill Sean Connery. I'm so sad to announce to everybody that loved that interview where he talked to Barbara Walters about smacking chicks. I disagree. That's Indiana Jones' father. I know! I know! Like, he was great. It was a different time. It was a different time. Daniel Craig looks like he can legitimately kill people. He's the only one. Like, if you asked me if there's a fight to the death between all those guys, one-on-one fight to the death, Daniel Craig is going to win. I'm so sorry. I never got into that guy. He's the only one that seems like a real killer. He's like a tortured guy. The problem with ... This is the problem with Daniel Craig. Is that the first one? It's 007. Or the last one. The most recent one. Here's the problem. Here's the problem. It's almost like if you're a person who just wants to look at this objectively, you have to separate yourself from all the other James Bonds. You have to pretend they don't exist. And you have to look at this as an individual occurrence. Like, him as James Bond is a new thing. Let's look at what that is. Well, it really does seem like there's this dude who's not perfect. Like there was a girl who was threatening him, talking about shooting him in his good knee. Like she knew which knee was fucked up. Right? He's not perfect. Right. He gets drunk. He's killing people. He's having all these romantic affairs with spies and shit and barely surviving. But as an individual entity, as the James Bond, who's better than him? Who's better? If you really want to be honest, you grew up with Roger Moore, but you knew about Sean Connery. Yeah, but do you think you only like him because he's the most realistic, because it's the most recent? No. No, because he's the best. He's the best. It just gets faker and faker. Listen to me. If he existed, and then if Sean Connery, or no, how about this? This is honest. If he existed, and then Tim Dalton came on after him. Is that Tim Dalton? Yes. Tim Dalton. Right? Timothy Dalton. If he came on after that guy, it wouldn't work out. It wouldn't work. It was a different James Bond back then. When Timothy Dalton was on, he was perfect for it. It was like this kind of campy, fun thing where the dude dressed real nice. It didn't have to be realistic. He always won. Ooh, smooth spy. How I'll have a martini. Bond. James Bond. And I was like, yay. We win. Right? It was ridiculous. Right. Right? Yep. It was ridiculous. But if you came to a contest with who seems like a real killer, there's one answer. It's Daniel Craig. That's a real killer. That's a person who kills people. He nailed it. The other people are like, Timothy Dalton's killing people? Are you sure? Yeah. It sounds like it makes a lot of the stakes matter here. Like how good the movie is. Yes. It's a fiction movie. If they made an Austin Powers-y type movie, Daniel Craig doesn't fit, right? They're starting to slow down and joke. Right. No, no. He'd be terrible for that. Because Roger Moore was more comedic. Remember Roger Moore? They walked onto the set of The Fake Moon Landing? They were like, do you remember that episode? It was one of his movies. They accidentally burst into the set of people faking The Moon Landing. And Roger Moore, I forget which one it was. It was that Austin Powers. No, dude. I'm telling you. Oh, you're right. It was hilarious. It was hilarious. What was that one? See, Roger Moore was a different movie. It doesn't mean that those movies weren't great. Because when I was a kid, they were great. What it means is... Roger Moore, man. Yeah. Oh, Diamonds Are Forever, 1971. So that was before they killed the Moon Landing program. They did it from 69 to I believe they did it at 72. So Roger Moore probably was a part of how they killed the Moon Landing program. Is that Don Knotts? Is that Don Knotts as a cop? Look how crazy this is. See, this is like a totally... Oh, so this is Sean Connery. Oh, it's not even Roger Moore. Oh my God, I'm wrong. I thought it was by this time it was Roger Moore. Yeah, this was that HBO in the early 80s. What a handsome bastard he was. He was so handsome. Where is he going in that? What year did... Look at that. The cops are running out there and he's got like a fucking moon rover. He's driving away to get away from the cops. He's going to drive through the wall. Oh, Jesus. So he's on the fake Moon Landing set. He escapes. Bro, this is crazy. This is crazy. Man, there's Don Knotts, right? Where's Jackie Lison? I'll tell you, boy. Remember Jackie Lison? And fucking Smokey and the Bandit? That was a great clip.
