Video of the Day: Jerry O'Connell Celebrates the End of The Writer's Strike
Filed under: Celebrities and Controversy, Fandom, Trailers and Clips
Leave it up to the folks over at Funny or Die to post some sort of comedic video celebrating the end (we hope?) of the writer's strike that's practically crippled an industry. In a new video (as seen above), Rebecca Romijn pretends to be a news reporter interviewing Jerry O'Connell (as himself?) following an "alcohol-fueled" party O'Connell threw in which his entire neighborhood was destroyed. My favorite exchange came when Romijn asked, "Why did you throw this party, exactly?" To which O'Connell replies, "Because the strike is over." And Romijn goes, "And what does that mean." O'Connell responds, "They get two cents more ... I guess."
The video is kinda funny in that "So that's what these two are doing now" kinda way. As you know, in real life O'Connell and Romijn are husband and wife, which helps make their on-screen chemistry sizzle. Oh yes. It sizzles. And sparks. Sizzles and sparks. Check out the video above and let us know what you think. Rebecca Romijn can next be seen in the film Lake City, while O'Connell can next be seen in whatever video Funny or Die posts next week.

It's a parody of a recent event involving an Australian drop kick that got more attention that he deserves.

Excellent stuff. This is funnier than Carpoolers. O'Connell should stick to online videos.

$20,000 in property damage? In Southern California? I think that is a gross underestimate. I liked the Tom Cruise mocking a bit more, but this had some nice bits... seemed like it was mostly pulling together other random clips though.

Unknown above is right. The detail in the skit, right down to the stupid glasses, the way he acts in the interview, the yellow spiky hair, the open shirt, the party, the damage, the parents being away, the 500 people coming all comes from some idiot in Australia.
The press picked it up, ran with it, made the guy an instant celebrity in his own eyes. The whole thing is a joke, and Jerry and Rebecca doing a rip-off of it is brilliant! The way Jerry acts is not a parody of this guy, it was exactly the sort of moron he is in every interview they did with him. Do you Americans want to take him???
