Moore made more of a mockery of 007. Connery was far the best and the intended type of script actor that Fleming wrote about. It was never a joking matter as Moore’s directors made it out to be.

In all fairness, Moore played the roll as it was joked up by the writers and producer, they took Bond from a few witty and or bad puns to a full blown clown and Moore played it superbly and to the hilt. I never cared for the constant comedy in the era after Connery, but it's not fair to blame Moore for the writing and vision of the producer.

Please reread my post. I did not blame Moore.

Quite. Moore played the joke straight. Wasn’t his fault the series slid off the rails, but he was complicit.
