L.A. Proved Too Much For The Man!! Tony Stark, Gaylord Focker & Nacho Libre Climb The Midnight Train To Georgia!!
I am – Hercules!!
Catch the season finale of “American Idol” last night?
It featured a strange, stealthy promotion for the movie “Tropic Thunder.” As we head into Memorial Day weekend, one feels compelled to share with those who may have missed it:
Before they went in for the close-ups, I thought that was Jeremy Piven on the right!
It may not be the funniest thing, but perhaps more compelling than any three minutes of "Dancing With The Stars."
Will we see them reprise it live on the MTV Movie Awards next week?
Take up valuable bandwidth with your predictions and reactions.

RDJ should be above this crap.
-
Thought it was hilarious! So glad that Robert Downey Jr. got his life back on track.
-
yawn....why bother?
-
the Love Guru bit with Mike Myers made me laugh. David Arche-whatever's expression after the Guru told him he'd be getting hair in strange places was priceless. If only the movie didn't look so desperately lame.
-
Jesus, seeing Mike Myers pimp that movie is like sandpaper being rubbed across my eyeballs.
-
that can't be improved by the addition of Robert Downey Junior?
-
I liked how they danced to their own steps and rarely synchronized their footwork...I think Tropic Thunder will rule based on RDJ alone.
-
...that that's a riff on a sketch from The Ben Stiller Show about the first all-male backup singer group.
-
A foreword and a preface?
-
They're spelt differently
-
Don't forget, Iron Man is gonna SAVE Tropic Thunder this year!
-
Stiller was clunky. Black clowned too much (IDIOT!) Downey looked like the kind of guy that chicks dig.
-
I'm sure THIS one will better.

This show, goofy UGLY mirror ball trophy included, is just head and shoulders above AI. It's a whole lot more fun and entertaining. And it has never been mean, even to people like Penn Jillette who can't dance well at all. For me, the best moment of this season was the dancing of the "juniors", especially the winners, Brandon and Brittany. And DWTS got some Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders to present the junior trophy after Brandon made a comment about someday dancing on the show as a pro and wanting "...any of the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders.." as a celebrity partner. And this year, at least, the top three were indeed the best and Kristi deserved the win, even if some felt she was a "ringer". I will point out that I've done martial arts most of my life and have way above average physical skills, stamina, balance, and coordination. The wife and I took a ballroom dance course after the first season of DWTS and it was WAY harder than I thought. I can do a decent waltz and a passable foxtrot, but the quickstep, tango, and the latin dances are FREAKIN' IMPOSSIBLE to learn in a hurry. I say Kristi earned her ugly trophy. As for American Idiot, do we really NEED another Okie redneck C&W singer? I LIVE in Oklahoma...born and raised...and I'm sick of these people. My nickname for Carrie Underwood is "Hairy Underwear" and I think I'll anoint the newest Idiot "David, Cooked" since he looks like he just came from the meth lab out at the farm. Give me a freakin' break!
-
Thats like comparing Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions......There both shit
-
I caught this and it was pretty funny. 3 totally different styles of comedy in a great blend. The singing wasn't bad either!
-
The guy is a clown in the worst sense. He is so insecure that heaven forbid he share a spotlight with someone and NOT ham it up grade-school style in order to make himself the center of attention. Downey played it straight until his (clearly Jack Black scripted) walk-off moment. He attempted to be the real deal. Stiller was just holding on for dear life while Jack drove off the road and through the cornfield. And yeah, RDJ is so better than this.
-
Those of you shouting about how much better than this RDJ is, did any of you consider the possibility that maybe he is out there having fun? Sure, it's goofy... and the guy is undoubtedly talented, but maybe he enjoys goofing off once in a while too.
People on the internet are too serious. -
..just saying.
-
RDJ was funnier than stiller and black without even trying. well, they say art imitates life
-
i can't rag on the tropic thunder team for having a spot on the #1 show in america and then donating the proceeds of the video download to charity. even if it wasn't the most hilarious thing in the world. i'd rather save my laughs for the movie when it comes out.
-
Everything you just wrote about the sketch, was exactly what they intended to do with it. They were supposed to not be in synch and 3 different characters. Clearly they achieved their objective. Sadly, you weren't in on the joke.
-
Dammit, Herc.
-
Strange, yes. Stealthy, no.

... the Celebrity All-Star Challenge?I remember watching "I Love the 70's Part 12" where they talked about that show and how Linda Carter's bouncing breasts won every event.Can't y'all just see a new version of Celebrity All-Star Challenge with Matthew Perry competing in the 100 yard dash against Ryan Seacrest and Alyson Hannigan while Kaley Couco and her luscious rack compete against William Shatner, Missy Peregrym, and Donald Faison in the 200 meter backstroke?As Bania often told Jerry, it'd be "Gold, Jerry! Gold!"

nuff said true believer. and Gladys night looked superfine
-
There i said it.
-
Seriously 30 Rock already did this bit in Season 2. Much funnier.
-
but you're older and crankier.
You want overrated? Try No Country for Ponderous Men and There will be Daniel Day Lewis reprising past roles of evil... -
You mean using the same very popular song in both amounts to stealing? In "30 Rock," it was used to show Kenneth's exit from the building, then changed the lyrics to bring him back in, while "Idol" simply used an old clip of Gladys and The Pips and put in three celebrities in the same video.
Yeah, those are so similar. -
Downey as the arhythmic actor pretending to be a musician, Stiller as the guy who thinks he's too cool for this but clearly isn't (though he may be too old) and Black as the aspiring musician who realizes that his entire career to date still isn't as cool as any one Pip and tries to make up for it by being funny.
-
that kelly chick from destiny's child should totally play gladys knight if they ever make a biopic. gladys totally looked like her in that old footage.
-
Kelly Rowland is a friggin' dead ringer.
-
He was the only one with a smidget of rhythm. Ben Stiller looked like he was undergoing the stress of calculus exam while trying to keep a steady beat.
-
You saw it here first.
Ben Stiller is the new Egon Spangler
Jack Black is the new Ray Stanz
and after watching Iron Man, Robert Downey Jr is of course the new Peter Venkman.
I can't wait. -
which Jew in particular?
-
It wasn't a bad movie, it was very solid in fact. I was merely pointing out that it actually *isn't* the second coming or anything. IM was a three star movie no more no less.
-
You are so on the money !!
-
Brilliant TV lol!!! Better than wanky old Idol anyway :p
-
...but I draw the line at "Dancing With The Stars." I at least want to see good dancing on TV. Luckily "So You Think You Can Dance" started last night.
-
I'm still lol at this stunt.
-
They're all Jewish. Apart from Gladys Knight. Although she could be, I guess.
-
RDJ was cool. Stiller is never funny and niether is Jack Black They try to hard; comedy should be more subtle. They're all "watch me make you laugh", to ehich my natural response is, "no you won't".
To be equal oppurtunity, I feel the same about Sarah Whatshername (J.Kimmels girlfriend) and Martin Lawrence.
