Watch Michael Bay melt down onstage at CES 2014.
Michael Bay Just Had A Total Meltdown At Samsung's CES 2014.

[Sans-Culotte]

Wow! I’ve seen all of none of his movies!!

The only really good one on the list is THE ROCK.

[Pharmboy]

You have not missed much, although I will say I did enjoy Pain and Gain. And the Megan Fox chick in Transformers is pretty gorgeous.

[LS]

I loved the two Bad Boys movies and thought the direction on the first was very good.

[Pharmboy]

Yes...agreed: the first Bad Boys moved well, had good action and several laughs. See Pain and Gain if you have not...it's based on a true story, and Bay really surprised me on this one.

[The Antiyuppie]

“They paid how many million for this guy’s endorsement?”

Hmmm...they might not have paid him yet.

[Right Wing Assault]

Wow! This guy does an incredible obama imitation. In fact, it’s much better. I really was hoping he would tell us how the kids needed breathalyzers for their asthma, but I was overall happy with his performance.

I bet he kicked the crap out of a water cooler somewhere behind stage.

I wonder how much the prompter people got paid by some joker to make him look like a doof.

[Right Wing Assault]

It will be fun so see what happens when he goes after one of his actors for not knowing their lines.

[bigbob]

hmmm...that gives me an idea....What if we put “Drop Dead” on the prompter, maybe we could thin the herd a bit

[catbertz]

The guy has a bad rep as a pompous jerk, so karma giggles are hard to resist. It’s not easy to improv on stage when things fall apart, but the guy should be fairly experienced with public speaking in his line of work.

[LS]

I did see that and didn’t like it. It was as if Bay couldn’t decide if he wanted a comedy or drama.

[Choose Ye This Day]

He did the Island? I actually saw (and liked) that one.

[DouglasKC]

Painful to watch...but wow...you would think that someone in that profession was a little more glib in front of an audience.

[Jane Long]

Poor guy. The internet will never let him forget this.

Yeah. He and that diving Bama mom will live forever in infamy on the internets.

[ThunderSleeps]

I woundn’t call that a meltdown, exactly. He froze. He wasn’t prepared at all to “wing it”.

The bad part about that is it says he obviously didn't care enough about the appearance to write & rehearse his own material. He was just going to come in, put in an appearance, read his stuff and go. So yeah, embarrassing for him to be caught taking a lot of his usual audience so much for granted.

[fatima]

Amen but he is a producer and not an onair personality.I cut him a brake.

[Boogieman]

Watch this and you’ll recognize his work:

lolz

[GeronL]

He made those Transformers movies

lens flare!

We don’t need no steenkin story, we got the same special effects that 100 other movies used!

[Pharmboy]

Yeah...I have heard that viewpoint on this movie. I thought Bay showed the idiocy of the real-life juice-heads with his telling of this story—although violent and dramatic—funny in some parts.
