As we all know by now, today’s biggest comedy director Judd Apatow has FUNNY PEOPLE this summer and it contains come fake movies starring the lead character, George Simmons, played by Adam Sandler.
Apatow’s been blogging for MTV and now he’s revealed these 3 extended clips of those fake movies that unfortunately won’t make it in the final cut but they’re here for us to enjoy online.
The first one above is my favorite because I’m Asian and there’s lots of hilarious stereotypical jokes in this one, titled SAYONARA DAVEY, a politically incorrect foreign exchange student movie featuring the M.D. comedian Ken Jeong who’s been very popular lately (Role Models, The Hangover, Couple’s Retreat)
The second one is MERMAN, a spoof of Splash, Sandler as half-man, half-fish magically gets himself a pair of legs but has a hard time walking.
The third one is DOG’S BEST FRIEND. It’s about a cop whose partner is a dog that just got shot and killed in the line of duty.
Here’s what Apatow says about the challenges of making these clips..
How does one make a fake movie clip? It was important to us that the clips did not feel like parodies of movies but instead seemed like movies that could actually get made. It makes the clips potentially less funny than parody clips because they could not be truly over-the-top awful, they just needed to be bad the way a bad movie is bad. That being said, after making each of these clips we kind of wanted to see the entire movie.
Liked the first one best myself haha. Hilarious. “I ususally like to spoon after the foke”. LOL
“You opened our eyes. Well… as far as they can open anyways”.
So not politically correct, but very funny. I hope Asians don't get offended… like certain people got offended with Transformers' Mudflaps and Skids. If we can't laugh at ourselves than we should not have the right to laugh at other politically incorrect jokes. Like gay jokes, mexican jokes, black jokes, blonde jokes, white jokes, german jokes, swedish jokes, indian jokes, and the list goes on and on. Fact is… sometimes its just funny. Its funny that sometimes we feel guilty for laughing but.. I'm not one of them. Why? Cause I laugh at MY ethnicity jokes as well. Glad YOU have that kind of sense of humor Rama. Props to you.
The other two clips were not funny at all but I assume the “pretend” movies were not all supposed to be funny… just interesting.
