Video Fix: 'Three Matthew McConaugheys and A Baby'

Filed under: Comedy », Trailers and Clips »




Because when you're gonna take a few jabs at Matthew McConaughey, you may as well add another two to the mix. A new video (new to me, at least) is up over at Funny or Die, and it's a spoofed-up trailer for Three Men and a Little Baby featuring three Matthew McConaugheys instead. Random, I know, but pretty damn funny. You've got the drunk Matt, the Matt who runs everywhere with his shirt off, the Matt with the weird, annoying laugh. It would've been better if Matthew McConaughey himself actually showed up in a bizarre cameo, but this works. I dug it.

What do you think? Did they miss any blatant McConaughey jokes?

Video of the Day: I'm a Marvel ... and I'm a DC

Filed under: Fandom », Comic/Superhero/Geek », Trailers and Clips »



I'm not supposed to be working right now (took the day off to celebrate getting older), but I just had to pop on and show you folks this hysterical video from Funny or Die. It's called I'm a Marvel .. and I'm a DC, and for anyone who thought those Mac/PC spoofs were getting old and tired ... definitely check this one out. In the video above, Iron Man and Batman square off in a fight ... of words ... to determine who's the better superhero. Stick with it, because they really get into it after awhile -- when Iron Man goes off on the Batman viral stuff, I just about lost it; same goes for the "at least kids can go see my movie" rant. Best part of the whole thing: they use action figures ... and the voice work ain't that bad. Who do you think has the better argument?

Happy Friday everyone!

Video of the Day: McLovin' Returns!

Filed under: Comedy », Fandom », Movie Marketing », Trailers and Clips »



Ah, this one just cracked me up. It's not terribly hilarious, but there's just something about Christopher Mintz-Plasse (aka McLovin) that gets me in the funny bone. His innocence, perhaps? Here's another (much funnier) one of those Public Service Announcements from Judd Apatow; this time Sarah Marshall herself, Kristen Bell, is featured next to Mintz-Plasse as she pleads for folks to give money to The McLovin Fund. Why? Well, according to her, Mintz-Plasse doesn't realize that he'll never work again. She says, "It's a tragic thing -- so often a young actor will hit it big right out of the gate only to never work again."

Poor McLovin. Good news is the dude is definitely still working. In fact, when I was down visiting the set of Year One in Louisiana, our man Mintz-Plasse was there as well, rehearsing for his very funny part in the film. However, Bell doesn't think he has a shot -- she thinks he'll wind up doing RV shows, crack cocaine and ultimately prison. Sad indeed. Check out the video above. Oh, and no -- unfortunately Mintz-Plasse does not have a cameo in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, so get that out of your head.

Hayden Panettiere Says Sexual Harassment is Wrong

Filed under: Comedy », Shorts », Home Entertainment »



The insanely funny folks over at Funny or Die are at it again. While I'm not sure anything could be better than Jerry O'Connell's spoof of Tom Cruise, this new clip has it's own brand of funny. It's Heroes star Hayden Panettiere talking about sexual harassment. It's not the sort of thing that employs lots of comedic technique, but the young actress plays it seriously -- and it works. So much so, in fact, that it has helped remove some of my Claire aggression.

It leads me to wonder if the key to Hayden goodness is just the right director? This puppy was helmed by Mr. Judd Apatow himself, so it's not terribly surprising that this clip is worth the time. Although, considering the name of the site, Hayden's Claire could fight off any death if it wasn't! Check the clip out for yourself and sound off below.

Jerry O'Connell Spoofs Tom Cruise!

Filed under: Comedy », Shorts », Celebrities and Controversy », Fandom », Trailers and Clips »



After all of the shocking and sad news yesterday, there's nothing like a refreshing laugh, or 50. I've enjoyed many of the Funny or Die shorts that have popped up, but this one is pure gold. This time around, Jerry O'Connell spoofs Tom Cruise's creepy Scientology video -- you know, the one Patrick Walsh blogged about, where Tommy reveals that he, and other Scientologists, are like an EMT/Jaws of Life combo for terrible accidents. (Oh, how I'd love to hear WHY.)

After watching this clip, my appreciation for the former Slider has increased exponentially. I could type away and share some of the jokes Jerry includes in this clip, but it's better to just see it for yourself. Suffice to say, if there is ever a Tom Cruise biopic, I want O'Connell to star. Enjoy!

Ferrell, Apatow and McKay Form 'Funny or Die' Dream Team

Filed under: Comedy », Shorts », Fandom », Newsstand », Movie Marketing »

By now you've probably watched a video or two over at the Funny or Die website (our own Patrick Walsh has a gem up there as we speak). The site, created by Adam McKay and Will Ferrell, specializes in promoting comedic shorts, uploaded by users, who then try to spread the word and get their short as many votes as possible. The highest rated shorts -- or the shorts with the most buzz -- have a special section reserved on the site, and a fraction of those often wind up in Will Ferrell or Adam McKay's own top picks of the week. For the casual internet surfer, there's a ton of funny stuff on there -- stuff that's sometimes created by Ferrell and McKay themselves (see: The Landlord series) -- and now that successful duo has added a new partner to their team: Judd Apatow.

Apatow has already used the site to promote his viral marketing videos for Knocked Up and Superbad, and now it looks like he'll be coming onboard as another creative head -- a comedic mastermind, if you will. The three have already shot and uploaded a short of their own, announcing Apatow's involvement, which you can view here (or after the jump). In it, Apatow insists that he wants to add more hardcore porn to the website, while McKay and Ferrell argue against the idea. It's a little long, but pretty damn funny. I assume this means we'll be seeing shorts exclusively created by Apatow and his clan arrive on the site soon, some of which I'm sure will feature Ferrell and/or Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill ... you name em'. I think it's great that the current leaders in big-screen comedy have banded together in an attempt to produce the funniest stuff out there. Can't wait to see what they have in store for us down the line ...
