Watch This: 'Wrestler' Trailer Spoof 'The Uncler'

by Erik Davis Feb 17th 2009 // 4:42PM

Just in time for the Oscars -- our friend Weston over at Funny or Die sent along this new video from the comedy site that spoofs The Wrestler trailer with a preview for a film called The Uncler -- about how Uncle Sam (Seth Morris) is desperately trying to climb his way back into our good graces, all while charming the top off a local stripper/lady liberty (played by my childhood crush Alyssa Milano). Jake Szymanski directs this high-quality video that's pretty damn funny; I especially like the little recession facts that take the place of awards won and fancy critic quotes.

Check out the video below and let us know what you think. Also, head after the jump to watch the real trailer for The Wrestler to compare the two. Yeah ... who's your boss?!
