How Funny Is KNOCKED UP? So Funny, They Could Cut This Scene Out - And It's Still Funnier Than Anything You've Seen This Year!

The New Comedy: mere script template, then adlib riffs by CreasyBear	May 24th, 2007 09:24:32 PM
Works fine, as long as the actors can improv. Otherwise, it's just a rambling mess.

Not very funny to me.
CreasyBear by bluetunehead	May 24th, 2007 09:26:41 PM
You're absolutely right. This looks like one of the few movies where it might actually work, but improv has basically taken over comedies these days and I think the vast majority of the time it totally sucks. Nobody writes actual comedy anymore.
Extremely Hilarious by Darcher	May 24th, 2007 09:27:41 PM
I saw this back on May 1 at a screening at my university. Honestly very funny and kind of moving in an odd way. The story stands up very well on its own. Do not miss this movie, glad to see some original stuff during the summer of sequels. I'm sure some of you are out seeing Pirates right now, but so far the sequels are 0 for 2. Knocked Up is great, Superbad looks super funny. Summer of Seth Rogen!
woops by Darcher	May 24th, 2007 09:36:33 PM
Sorry here I am bashing sequels and I forget about the one I actually really dug, 28 Weeks Later. So actually just 1 for 3. Apologies.

Anne Hathaway's tits by MilesGloriosus	May 24th, 2007 10:01:49 PM
I respect the integrity of the male character in the scene, but I still like seeing Anne Hathaway's tits, any time, any place, any way. :-) She really needs to call me.
Anne Hathaway by Darcher	May 24th, 2007 10:07:01 PM
really, she's not in the clip
sorry just watched the clip by Darcher	May 24th, 2007 10:08:29 PM

Okay, that was pretty fuuny by God-Man	May 24th, 2007 10:57:41 PM
Still undecided on whether or not I'll actually watch this in theaters, but that scene was funny.
it'll be funny the first time . . . by aboriginal	May 24th, 2007 11:03:41 PM
then just worn out on the second pass - 40YOV was that way for me. Maybe two or three years later another watch.

That was supposed to be funny??? by CyberBeavis1326	May 24th, 2007 11:25:02 PM
Seriously sounds like the awful one note jokes like in "40 Year Old Virgin." Honestly, I didn't care much for "40 year old virgin", it was ok. "Knocked Up" to me looks like more of the same.
That was funny by 9000rpm	May 24th, 2007 11:28:35 PM
Yeah, there's not a lot interesting in at the movies this summer but this one will be worth seeing.
"Gyllenhaal's mouth is watering the whole fuckin movie" by Womb2dooM	May 25th, 2007 12:12:26 AM
"Throw something in there Ennis!" That one line is funnier then every comedy release theatrically this year!
God bless editors by tiredpm	May 25th, 2007 12:17:55 AM
The dialog and delivery is funny, but it isn't as funny out of context. In the movie this would kill. As it is, it made me chuckle, but it seems like, I don't know, comedy for comedy's sake out of context. Still funnier than anything in Wild Hogs, though :-)
Alright, that was extremely damn funny by Daddylonghead	May 25th, 2007 12:19:56 AM
Gotta say, that was some pretty hilarious shit!
Jonah Hill is the motherfucking man by Garbageman33	May 25th, 2007 12:36:54 AM
Between this and Superbad, he's about to be a very big star. In fact, from everything I've seen, Superbad looks better than Knocked Up.
I dream of one day knocking some strange lady. by Womb2dooM	May 25th, 2007 12:40:03 AM

The Template for Hollywood movies... by TopHat	May 25th, 2007 01:08:58 AM
Every guy is an idiot, and women are glorious little angels for putting up with them. 1) You got the women, because it makes them feel superior and not have to take responsiblity for their own insecurities. 2) You got the guys, because they can feel loved for basically being sheep and never having to take responsibility for their own insecurities. 3) You got the critics, because they're mostly men and will do anything to prove that they're cool and masculine, including confirming that they are idiots and immature, because they're men. 4) You have the film fans for all the reasons listed above. 5) You have everyone because "Its just a movie!" ...Thus, the future of cinema: A bunch of guys sitting around high and/or drunk, confirming every generalization in the book, flipping the generalizations around to prove how much more ignorant they are, then giving each other high fives for being high and/or drunk, because being high and/or drunk proves how normal and cool they are, even though they had just tried to get laughs proving how uncool they are. ...60 million dollar opening weekend.

I havent seen Pirates yet... by Redfive!	May 25th, 2007 02:04:00 AM
But the only thing on my mind is this mother fu*ker...Cant wait for Knocked Up..and SUPERBAD.
er...yes....very good.... by disco5tu	May 25th, 2007 02:28:40 AM
....the only slight crticism that I would have of it is that it isn't actually funny. It makes up for that through effort though doesn't it?
IT'S THE SLEEPER HIT COMEDY OF THE SUMMER!!! by newc0253	May 25th, 2007 03:48:20 AM
i.e. the "sleeper" hit that every major media outlet has been telling us "the buzz" is that it's "hilarious" for fucking months now.
You had me at "Mouth full of Ledger" by MaulRat	May 25th, 2007 04:26:40 AM
Man that chick looks like Mrs MaulRat did when she was pregnant... seriously.. except the chick on here looks 30 pounds lighter and twice as nice haha honey if you happen to read this.. which I know you will because you keep tabs on my internet use... I mean every word about you being an overweight beast when you're pregnant..... and I expect to be punished severely for this..... treat me mean and keep me keen baby!.

Explain: Doesn't advance the story? by Black Satin 2	May 25th, 2007 05:26:37 AM
Most of the time, good scenes are cut out of comedies because they don't advance the story. THat scene seemed to be a pretty nice bonding scene between the two actors. It wasn't dull; it wasn't overly gross and the payout hit the nail on the head. Now if I see a scene that doesn't do that to me, I'm going to remember seeing that scene and wish it was in there. Isn't it possible they could place that scene in if it winds up on a cable channel like FX?
Hilarious by onefatman	May 25th, 2007 07:01:16 AM
I nearly wet myself it's that funny. Jonah hill is the sex. On toast. He was the only reason to watch "Accepted" as well. "I hope you have hobo stab insurance". Champagne comedy right there.
But...I didn't laugh -- so how is that funny? by ATARI	May 25th, 2007 07:11:55 AM

f-ing hilarious by biggles2_22	May 25th, 2007 08:25:10 AM
love these guys
My vote -- Funny by Petro45	May 25th, 2007 08:29:34 AM
For the first 3/4 of the scene, I wasn't sure if it was funny or overdone. The last 1/4 brought it home brilliantly, though. "It was just the head, I swear. I didn't suck on it."
dont you mean by kilik777	May 25th, 2007 08:48:50 AM

Hey, TopHat,... by BizarroJerry	May 25th, 2007 08:54:52 AM
I fear you're sort of right about the way some of these comedies are going. Most of these guy characters in these flicks are a bunch of losers. Very typical "regular guy" stereotypes as seen in beer commercials. I did find 40YoV to be a funny movie, but one of the main points was these guys who think they're cool and know all about the world turned out to be just as -- or more -- fucked up than Carell's character. Uh, but I'm babbling. More to the point, there seems to be a growing "men are stupid neanderthals" theme all over TV, ads and movies. Can we even out to a nice "men and women are both stupid" middle ground?
Oh, and Brokeback Mountain jokes? by BizarroJerry	May 25th, 2007 08:57:59 AM
Seriously? Weren't those played out like, a year ago?
Awesome! by erichaislar	May 25th, 2007 09:12:34 AM
Funny shit!
It's pretty obvious why this scene was cut by F69	May 25th, 2007 09:13:07 AM
The girl couldn't keep a straight face.
Classic by Cletus Van Damme	May 25th, 2007 09:43:21 AM
This is great!
Not funny by clark_kent	May 25th, 2007 10:13:55 AM
I see this movie will have the word "effin" in it a million times. Lame. This was a judicious cut indeed.
I saw it at SXSW by lazy	May 25th, 2007 10:15:49 AM
and I thought it was a LOT funnier than 40 year old virgin. Summer of Seth Rogen!
and by lazy	May 25th, 2007 10:20:35 AM
the men are "Very typical "regular guy" stereotypes as seen in beer commercials." I hate that. The other woman character is so horrible and when she gets hers, it is just sweet. The point is, the girls aren't angels. It is a little more realistic, like Freaks and Geeks. But not realistic like, life.
this is going to be funny by StreetTrash	May 25th, 2007 10:24:32 AM
i proclaim. I think I'm more excited about this movie than anything this summer. Apatow = Rich.
Those who think this is a lame 1-note joke/gag by Reynard Muldrake	May 25th, 2007 10:40:43 AM
A.) Don't have a sense of humor B.) Haven't seen the movie. ("spoiler") This is that much funnier (as a scene, deleted or not) because in the movie (also got to an advance screening and loved it), Seth Rogen and his Compadres are trying to start a website that tells visitors the exact minute/second in every movie that nudity appears...so all they do is sit around and watch movies with remote and clipboard in hand all day and have hilarious conversations about them. C.) Don't have a sense of humor. "Hahuhha...what?"
The new comedy mafia by Garbageman33	May 25th, 2007 11:07:16 AM
Stiller, Vaughan, the Wilson brothers and Ferrell are done. From now on, it's Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, that kid from the Mac commercials, George Michael (not the real George Michael, he's not very funny at all and he always has a cock in his mouth) and whoever else they can round up.
Hahahahha great... by modlight	May 25th, 2007 11:51:38 AM
I was nervous about a cut out scene, but it was great. Can't wait for this and Superbad. For the record, I still love tits in movies.
True Jonah Hill Story by Garbageman33	May 25th, 2007 12:23:12 PM
A couple years ago, I was working on this online thingie for a client (I'm an ad guy) and we needed someone to kinda be the site's tour guide and say occasional funny things. I suggested (nay, demanded) Jonah Hill based on his all too brief scene in 40-Year-Old Virgin. Well, long story short, I ended up getting overruled and they went with Dmitri Martin. Who? Exactly. Fortunately, the whole thing ended up getting shitcanned, otherwise I'd have had to go upside some people's heads.
Rear your child line in trailer/commercials is lame by the_pissboy1	May 25th, 2007 02:26:50 PM
That line makes me cringe every time. It's so juvenile. The rest of the stuff's funny as hell. But that "rear your child" thing...god, kill me now.
f69 - she couldn't keep a straight face..so? by the_pissboy1	May 25th, 2007 02:30:09 PM
People in the REAL world laugh. In 40YO Virgin the characters laughed at each other all the time. People laugh...and what he was saying could make you laugh if you a) thought it was funny, or b) thought he was crazy. Nothing wrong with laughing in a scene where somebody is ranting.
There are two actual scenes on youtube by Garbageman33	May 25th, 2007 02:34:18 PM
And, unfortunately, neither of them is nearly as good as this one. In fact, the one where she shows up at his apartment is pretty painful to watch. Still excited to see the movie, just not as excited as I was after first watching this clip.
Hahahah is this a real scene? by DannyOcean01	May 25th, 2007 02:43:07 PM
Because it looks like Heigl is about to explode that baby from laughter...
snooze. by JacksonsPole	May 25th, 2007 02:58:30 PM
ok. i will probably like the movie. but, that wasn't funny. that's like the millionth time i've seen a brokeback joke. and it wasn't funny the first time...
Good thing that hit the cutting room floor by pilotgrl	May 25th, 2007 03:08:22 PM
I loved 40-Year-Old-Virgin and I'm all for a movie filled with off-color jokes but this is far from funny. As Bizarro Jerry said much earlier on, the Brokeback Mountain jokes are stale, just like this is. Hopefully the final version is a vast improvement.

Great - gay jokes and the F-word by theBigE	May 25th, 2007 06:55:38 PM
Is this what is supposed to pass for humor now? Lots of f-bombs and and describing gay sex for laughs? Great. This might be funny late at night while drunk, but if this is a taste of what this movie is going to be... I think I'll pass. My excitement for this and Superbad has been fading slowly.
captboulder - My Father the Hero by theBigE	May 25th, 2007 06:57:02 PM
I felt guilty for enjoying that one too - she's only 14 in that, I remember reading. And I rented it just for her - that's creepy!
Not funny by blakes7	May 27th, 2007 01:42:33 AM
This scene would have been funnier (perhaps) if Brokeback jokes were not run into the ground a long time ago. I must also point out that Southpark pretty much put a nail in the coffin for gay-movie jokes, years prior to the release of "Brokeback" with their "Gay cowboys eating pudding" joke. I am looking forward to Superbad, but knocked up just does not seem a funny enough premise to sustain a whole movie. On another note, I got something that will top this scene. It's from the funniest show on t.v. right now; PeeP Show in England. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =gCL-qnBQzUo

Huh. the Brits have been doing this stuff by Sepulchrave	May 27th, 2007 06:59:09 AM
for years; uptight guy with poor social skills digs his own grave with his mouth. Sublimated homosexuality. Alan Partridge did all this a decade ago.
And WTF is this with Brokeback Mountain? by Sepulchrave	May 27th, 2007 07:03:34 AM
That movie no fucking in it at all. Oh right, so America is such a bunch of pussies that it can't watch two guys rummaging fully clothed in half-darkness. There was more sex in Wilde (1997), for Chrissakes. Every country in Europe has done mainstream films that were gayer and sexier than BM for years.
