Few comedic actors conjure quite such strong feelings as Bill “The Murricane” Murray. Folks love to love and love to not love America’s deadpan savant, but nobody in the world would ever claim Bill Murray was just a normal guy. Nope, regardless of how folks feel about his show-stealing performance in Caddyshack or his superb portrayal of Bob Harris in Lost in Translation, everyone--including Bill Murray-- can agree that there’s nobody else quite like him.

Hilarious, brilliant, frustrating, and, at times, frenetic, Murray has proven himself to be one of the funniest, most successful, and sometimes pretty difficult actors working today, but even beyond the silver screen the Murricane leaves his strange, strange mark on the world at large. The star has been sighted engaging in hijinks so off the wall that it might make Andy Kaufman spit out his milk. From crashing college parties in Scotland to breaking Robert de Niro’s nose, from almost drowning to death at the hands of Hunter S Thompson to trying to cover the cost of a helicopter for his Wes Anderson, nobody else can heave aloft the banner of bizarreness as high as Bill “My Name is Almost an Adjective” Murray.

One of the few agentless A-listers in Hollywood, a short-lived philosophy student at La Sorbonne in Paris, and the celebrity most likely to be discovered doing somebody elses dishes at a house party, we’re giving you a rundown of 25 times that Bill Murray has been just so... Bill Murray.
