The 40 Year Old Virgin Who Knocked Up Sarah Marshall and Felt Superbad About It....*throws up*

[Nateman742]

I laugh at absurd humor, and this made me chuckle a few times. But good god I would never actually go see it on my own money. The title alone is an embarrassment, and I have a feeling they put the funniest jokes in the trailer, which isn't saying too much. I was smiling up until "Can you hear me now?" which brought the whole thing crashing down :|

Don't forget that different brands of comedy appeal to different people. Jeff Dunham is testament to that.

Rather than parody a parody (or worse, parody a parody of a parody), Moliere parodies the people dumb enough to try to do so, and makes fun of himself while he's at it to give the piece some more depth. That's how it's done, and that's why we still appreciate Moliere 300 years later and are doing our best to forget "Meet the Spartans".

Good point, but I somehow doubt anyone's going to remember today's genuinely good comedy 300 years from now. People barely know who Richard Pryor is anymore.

Can't belive thats a real movie.
Comedy like that is just so bad, and not in the 'so bad its actually good' way, its just bad.

My first thought was "Richard who?", and I was instantly filled with shame.

For what it's worth, I think that famous people in general are less memorable these days. Now that everyone's famous for 15 minutes, no one gets to be famous for 300 years. Patronage has moved from the hands of hereditary royalty to the hands of profit-hungry corporations and mod mob rule (edit for misspelling). More egalitarian, not as long lasting tastes great, less filling.

 

[Insanum]

I giggled once or twice, But yeah...The more it went on the more i wanted it to stop.

So i think you could compare it to rape.

Haha, see what modern culture does to us?

I agree. Besides, with the advent of instant worldwide communication it's not like being well-known is a big deal any more, unless it makes you incredibly rich.

...
I thought it was hilarious. I guess I'm a bad person =(

EDIT:

I was smiling up until "Can you hear me now?" which brought the whole thing crashing down :|

Well, that was true for me too.
I guess I'm not that bad of a person.

 

[Dahni]

my face during that was a mixture of shock and "i-just-lost-faith-in-comedy".
if the latter is actually a facial expression.

 

[HT_Black]

I nervously laughed once when 'Let it Rock' started playing, because I thought the whole thing might have just been a really bad build-up to a music video.

It wasn't.

 

[ShotgunShaman]

No.... NO..... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Flunk]

Is this a real movie? They just stole all the jokes from 3 other movies (only one of which was funny anyway) and put them together poorly. Who thought that would make a good movie? The only people who are going to see this are stoners and brain-dead idiots. Wait, considering how many of those people there are they'll probably make a mint.

 

[Zedzero]

I'm laughed at McAnal Lovin....i'm sorry but it got to me. I like that asian girls ass too.

 

[Ciarang]

Wow, I feel stupider just for watching that trailer...

 

[MelasZepheos_v1legacy]

You know that moment that people say happens when you see Chtulhu? The madness of revelation when you see into the beyond and for one brief moment understand the cosmos before your mind crashes in on itself?

Yeah, turns out the cosmos is pretty boring, and that trailer just made my mind break neatly in two.

 

[Vrex360]

Oh god that was so awful, I mean seriously I'm disgusted that movies like this can keep getting made. It's just a string of random pop culture referances zapped by the 'shitty joke' ray. Honestly I'm offended that they would call this entertainment.
Now I must go cut out my eyes for gazing at that which is so unholy.

 

[Angus565]

I'm not sure if I should vomit fall asleep or both.

Really how can THAT be considered a film of any kind?!

 

[mhitman]

If this was a real thing then i feel sad now

My first thought was that I never really found Pryor all that funny, but that was probably because I'd never watched his stand-up routines, just his various roles in feature films. It says a lot when the BEST film he ever appeared in was Superman III (that movie is so terrible!).

If this was a real thing then i feel sad now

Somebody tracked down the IMDB page for it earlier in the thread, so yeah, it's a real thing all right. We're doomed (to be annoyed by people who like this sort of crap quoting it).

 

[AgDr_ODST]

only 3 things about it made me laugh/smile the naked chick, the girl getting hit by the car, and the bit with the verizon guy. everything else made me want to kick a kitten, and or murder the idiots who created this movie

 

[joystickjunki3]

Are they really making this movie? It seemed like a complete joke to me.

But whatever.

[edit] I guess it is real? The director's only other credit is "Saving Ryan's Privates."
...I'm still skeptical.
