Watch This: Zac Efron's Pool Party
Filed under: Comedy, Fandom, Home Entertainment, Trailers and Clips

Yesterday there was a rumor that a new video was premiering on Funny or Die called Zac Efron's Pool Party, and that it starred the most random cast ever assembled. Well, it was real, it's now online (watch it below), and it stars Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Thomas Lennon, Queen Latifah, Nicole Ritchie, Carmen Electra, Justin Long, Brody Jenner, Lance Bass, Brittany Snow, Jessica Stroup, Chelsea Staub, Jessica Rose, Nicole Sullivan, Joel Madden ... and the list goes on. Granted, I'm not very familiar with some of these kids because I'm, well, sorta lame and out of touch with the hottie youth circles -- but when you bring a group like this together, I'd assume you're guaranteed to take away a few decent laughs, right?
Well ... I'll admit this ain't the funniest piece of viral action I've ever seen from Funny or Die, but it's cute and it has its moments (Justin Long's underwater antics cracked me up, and both Lennon and Sullivan steal every scene), and I'd watch it if you've got a few minutes to spare. Basically, the set up is that Zac Efron is hosting a pool party for this friends when his nasty, trailer-park uncle (Lennon) shows up with his equally-as-trashy girlfriend (Sullivan). Hilarity ensues. Check it out below and let us know what you think.

This is really not funny. Tom Lennon's pretty good, but the vapid LA people trying to be ironic by talking about "Libertarianism" and "Keynesian Economics" is completely forced. The irony is how little acting skill the HSM kids have. They can't even make their pseudo-intellectual name-dropping sound plausible.

Bro I get you are trying to slam the HSM kids because you think they are worthless... but your argument falls apart when you accuse of them of failing at making their "pseudo-intellectual name-dropping sound plausible," because they clearly don't even do that in the skit, at all. That would be other actors in the skit doing that. Next time why don't you try to make your insults more 'plausible'.

Now I'm required to know the difference between talentless HSM kids and talentless kids who got famous some other random way? That's not really fair.

That was only funny because I thought Thomas Lennon was David Arquette for half of it.

I only laughed once, and that was at "Space Bear".
Maybe if Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens were in fact being parodies of themselves it would be funny, but ultimately, they aren't. Instead the video has just reminded me that a large amount of talentless people are living just the way I thought.

I thought the video was pretty funny. I hate the HSM kids too but at least they sort of have a sense of humor about themselves. Check out the behind the scenes footage I found online: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsfWm0R5w4A
The DJ from the video is crazy. That song is catchy though.
