12 Adam Sandler Moments That Prove He Actually Used To Be Funny

Adam Sandler was one of the biggest comedians of the 90s and the early 2000s, but lately he seems to just do movies for the sake of doing movies. Even so, we still remember when he was one of the funniest people in movies, and these 12 clips will remind you, too.

When Steve Buscemi pushed him to go nuts in Airheads

When Billy Madison was both a jerk and a doofus

Movies aside, who didn't love "The Chanukkah Song?"

And of course, his SNL appearances.
