Any film lover looking for anything other than a comedy film from the list of Andy Milonakis’ movies and TV shows would be surprised to find that the actor has built a career in Hollywood out of his appearances in just comedy films. As an actor, writer, rapper, streamer, and comedian, Milonakis’ breakthrough came on the 26th of January 2003, the day Super Bowl XXXVII was played. He was reportedly supposed to attend a friend’s Super Bowl party but instead opted to stay home and record a video titled “The Super Bowl is Gay”. He went on to upload the video online and within two weeks of it hitting the internet, it went viral, making him an internet sensation.
The young entertainer was subsequently invited to make an appearance on the ABC late-night show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, after which he began to fully rap on YouTube, with his first song on the platform being “The Andy Milonakis Rap”.
While going about his career as a musician, Milonakis began to do sketch comedy and was able to land himself a self-titled show that aired on MTV and MTV2 between 2005 and 2007 before it was canceled. When asked about his foray into comedy in an interview, Andy famously said that it was as a result of a means to cope with incessant bullying. He said humor is a great defense mechanism.
It further helped his case that he suffered from a growth hormone deficiency that gives him the appearance and voice of an adolescent boy despite being a fully grown adult. This has been a blessing in entertaining audiences from far and wide. Due to his comedic inclination, however, Andy Milonakis has been unable to feature in any project that is not from the comedy genre, or even those that have at least received some critical acclaim. Regardless of this, we have been able to come up with a list of his movies and TV shows ranked from best to worst.
