Turn the sound down, anyway!
Cool. by Col. Tigh-Fighter	Jun 18th, 2007 05:54:29 AM
I likes.
Oh man!!! These guys are "the original Odd Couple!" by Rocco the dog	Jun 18th, 2007 06:03:25 AM
Yep, I laughed exactly as hard as I do every time an "Odd Couple" rerun is on.
slacking off is just as fun by just pillow talk	Jun 18th, 2007 07:38:07 AM
Work? Me? No. That was pretty funny, though I have to agree, if they stay in the same room for however long, that could get old quick. Still looked funny to me.
Not a single laugh in the whole thing by Garbageman33	Jun 18th, 2007 08:30:44 AM
Sorry, I loved Knocked Up as much as the next guy, but there was nothing funny about this. I'd rather watch Jonah Hill's Brokeback Mountain rant another 33 times than see this once.
that's the best they can do? by Rupee88	Jun 18th, 2007 08:38:53 AM
If that is the trailer and the "best parts", the rest of the movie must really, really suck.
Countdown to Seth Rogen being overexposed in . . . by Nice Marmot	Jun 18th, 2007 09:53:42 AM
5 . . . 4 . . . 3 . . . 2 . . .
Um... not real? by moph	Jun 18th, 2007 10:06:21 AM
I'd watch this, gladly. But are we sure it isn't a joke? Because I think it might be a joke.
Incredible! by arsonlarsen	Jun 18th, 2007 11:24:39 AM
It looks like their apartment in Knocked Up only with hellfire in the background! These guys rock. Looks hilarious.
AnimalStructure, why are you sorry they're talented? by slone13	Jun 18th, 2007 12:26:43 PM
I just love it when schmucks preface their stupid statements with "I'm sorry..."..
And as for Rogen's overexposure... by slone13	Jun 18th, 2007 12:29:49 PM
...I'm fine with that. In fact, I welcome it. Especially if it gives us a rest from Will Ferrell's tired schtick for a while.
Hmm... by The Dum Guy	Jun 18th, 2007 02:32:43 PM
I wonder if in the end the apocalypse never happened? I almost wonder if this is a joke for a trailer.
I'm sorry, AnimalStructure... by slone13	Jun 18th, 2007 02:38:17 PM
...but you don't know jack about shit. Good day.
I'm sorry, slone13... by GiveMeAnFinBreak	Jun 18th, 2007 04:10:21 PM
The phrase you were looking for was "jack FROM shit," as in "You don't know jack from shit." Good evening. Oh, and I'll give this thing a shot when it hits ifilm or youtube, or where ever these short films end up after they're done making festival rounds. Looks funny enough.
FUNNY STUFF BUT by The Real MiraJeff	Jun 18th, 2007 05:46:28 PM
I agree, Seth's in danger of crossing the 'too much, too soon' barrier. These guys have tons of features lined up, now they've gotta go and hog the shorts spotlight too? I mean, they're consistently hilarious. There's nothing I've ever seen Rogen in where I didn't go, hey, that was fuckin' funny. But isn't it kind of unfair for a guy who is developing a cult following, who has access to $$ and a solid crew, to start making shorts that will inevitably sweep the nation on the festival circuit. Seth and Jay could watch paint dry and it would be funny to me, but why risk overexposing yourself. Give us a little taste, go away for a few months and be The Man upon your return in Superbad and Pineapple. God bless the Apatow camp but I don't need to start seeing outtakes and short films every other week in between the releases of their 8 or so features. Gotta give a man some time to get stuck in a comedy rut so he can appreciate true genius when it graces the screen before his eyes. This constant bombardment of Rogen and Apatow is getting to be a little much, and I say that as one of their biggest fans. They used to be a well-kept secret that the cool kids could rejoice in being in on. Now it seems like the whole country is anticipating their next moves with a religious-like fervor. I just hope they don't sell out and start making shitty sequels to cash-cows. Evan Almighty anyone?
I'd watch their TRIPE and still laugh by RokurGepta	Jun 18th, 2007 07:00:45 PM
these guys are Gomedy Cods!!!!!!!!
Honestly... by Han Ol' Buddy	Jun 18th, 2007 08:32:32 PM
This could make a funny TV series. Definitely not network though. HBO, pick this up and develop it. John from Cincinnati is not good.
are you kidding by RokurGepta	Jun 18th, 2007 08:50:20 PM
John From Cincinnati is an amazing adventure, Its got hot chicks, its got surfing, its got sci-fi, its got ed o'neil, its got comedy, its got drama, it's well shot, edited, written, it works....WELL
Over exposure? by Colonel Activity	Jun 18th, 2007 11:34:02 PM
The guy was in 40-year-old Virgin in 2005, Knocked up in 2007, and Superbad in 2007 so far. I know Pineapple is coming up, but four flicks in four years isn't that much.
Oh come on Mirajeff by McClane_Corleone	Jun 18th, 2007 11:46:14 PM
Don't toss around the world sell-out. You're showing that you, too, are a child of the 90's. That is to say: "Oh yeah, I used to love Nirvana before they sold out and became famous. Now everybody loves Nirvana so they suck because being famous makes you a sell-out." Relax, Judd and Seth haven't sold out yet, and I don't think they're going to. Not as long as they keep making consistently funny sex comedies at least. No matter how many they make. They have to keep coming up with new material and not recycling any of the old stuff, which they've been very good about up to this point.
i concur with mirajeff by MC-909	Jun 18th, 2007 11:55:17 PM
Fuck Seth Rogen and the other dipshit is in this trailer. Leave the short films to people that have no other outlet, or no other way of getting their foot in the door. This is downright insulting. These "geeks" that everyone thinks are so cool, OBVIOUSLY wouldn't think twice about stepping on the little man just so they can stay in the spotlight a little longer. Here, here, Mirajeff. So get ready Seth, the backlash is about to begin. Every time a "geeky" comedian or actor has a few hits they all of a sudden get a big head and think that no matter what they do it will be funny and people will love it. Wrong, muthafucka. Read this talkback: the geeks are turning on you. Oh, and John from Cincinnati is a piece of shit. Ed O'Neil is the only thing worth a damn in that stupid ass show. Surfers? Really? WHO GIVES A FUCK ABOUT SURFERS????
overexposure...really... are you on crack? by RokurGepta	Jun 19th, 2007 03:34:27 AM
talk about overstatement of the decade....I'd say Shia Lebouf has major over exposure, but Seth, what has two movies this year, one of which is animated....
AnimalStructure by TruPhan	Jun 19th, 2007 01:27:32 PM
I'm 21 and in puberty. ...I think I have a problem.
A geek for Rogen & Baruchel... by AmazingBlueDuck	Jun 19th, 2007 02:18:37 PM
It's understandable, MC-909, that you believe the common misconception that any actor can walk into a room and a film will just materialize around him. Surprisingly, films are actually the product of weeks, months, or even years of hard work by a crew of dozens, if not hundreds, filmmakers. Short films are not just about actors having an outlet for their talents, but also about the directors, producers, cinematographers, etc. who contribute to each project. If this film is just something thrown together as they were wrapping the Knocked Up set, then that's one thing; however, considering that short films are usually made by emerging filmmakers who don't have the funds for a feature, isn't it possible that Rogen and Baruchel may have lent their talents to up-and-coming filmmakers? As a fellow geek, I'm not one to judge without more information.
what happened to this? by arsonlarsen	Sep 30th, 2007 03:23:32 PM
