Blech.
Pineapple Express by Mr. Gunderson	Feb 27th, 2008 06:16:35 PM
McBride is definitely the highlight of the upcoming Pineapple Express. Which, by the way, I don't know how got such huge buzz. It's a solid, funny movie but the action just didn't work for me. McBride and Franco are unbelievable though.
here we go w/ the media blitz from the boys. by GQtaste	Feb 27th, 2008 06:31:37 PM
They will continue to push this brand of comedy ala, Jude and co. By the way, this dude was not funny.
when by GORGUTS	Feb 27th, 2008 06:33:19 PM
was it very very funny???
I was thinking of you Mori when I saw this last night. by Kid Idioteque	Feb 27th, 2008 06:46:15 PM
I kept asking myself, "This is what he's been going apeshit for?" I knew immediately what what happening when Danny McBride walked out, but the audience clearly didn't. I don't think many realized that he wasn't a real karate instructor, even by the end. Granted, I chuckled a few times but that was it. Perhaps they should have made it more clear by the end, but Conan continued to play along. And I saw McBride in Hot Rod. He was just as terrible as the rest of the film. I hope I eat my words when this comes out, but I just don't understand the hype.
haha by DigitalBeachWar	Feb 27th, 2008 06:50:43 PM
when i saw him last night on Conan... i was like What In The Fucking hell is going on with this dude?! i knew it was an act.. but at the same time i couldn't tell. very very funny.
another thing... by DigitalBeachWar	Feb 27th, 2008 06:53:28 PM
i had never seen this dude before so i had no idea who in the hell he was.
O.K. to hype this one, guys... by SkinJob69	Feb 27th, 2008 07:01:35 PM
Saw this at the Sundance (was that 3 years ago?- man, time flies), and I laughed my ass off all the way through it. In some ways it seems like a spin off of the Napoleon Dynamite- the karate dojo scene near the beginning of the film. The lead actor does a great job playing the incompetent, over-confident instructor with the big ego. I'm hoping they've tightened it up a bit (kind of meandered a bit towards the end. Even in the form I saw it, though, I think it would be successful. Funny as hell. And besides, don't we need some new comedy talent about now (Apatow and Ferrell are getting a bit stale, IMO).
Thought this was hilarious by Beldo84	Feb 27th, 2008 07:02:21 PM
I thought this was great when I saw it last night, but I knew what was going on. I remember reading about the making of this movie a couple of years ago on a David Gordon Green website, and I'm happy it's getting a release.
Okay, is this the guy from... by micturatingbenjamin	Feb 27th, 2008 07:04:52 PM
Hot Rod? There wasn't much in that flick that made me laugh out loud, but that dude wrecking that guy for no reason and taking his hat was fucking hilarious, tears flowed. Is this the same dude?
Never mind! He was Rico.. by micturatingbenjamin	Feb 27th, 2008 07:05:48 PM
IMDB solved the mystery...This gets a maybe from me!
Apatow has his fingers in this too by Beldo84	Feb 27th, 2008 07:16:57 PM
And I believe Ferrell does as well, hence McBride's appearance after Ferrell. Ferrell is also producing a show for HBO with McBride made by the same guys who made "Foot Fist Way." Fun fact: The writer and director of "Foot Fist Way" are the guys in "Superbad" who tell Jonah Hill he's got period blood on his leg.
Apatow= omni-present, aparently by SkinJob69	Feb 27th, 2008 07:23:38 PM
But at least he wasn't a writer on this one. All 3 of them seem pretty cool, BTW.
For a second I thought this was a thread about CONAN THE BARBARI by -888	Feb 27th, 2008 07:27:56 PM
...and JAVIER BARDEM is the only man alive who can play Conan on film! The character could totally give a rel actor plenty of interesting shit to do, if he's written properly as he appears in the Howard stories. See The Whole Wide World if you don't believe me! That's my story and I'll only change it if you confuse me a whole bunch!
Caught it last night... by D_T	Feb 27th, 2008 08:07:03 PM
...and dig Conan's style of awkward humor, but goddamn, this was painfully unfunny. I "get it", but wow. I'd rather watch Kevin Smith run the F'in Matt D. joke into the ground 20 more times (and that was weak).
"Curtains, open!" by Burgundy82	Feb 27th, 2008 08:07:08 PM
Simmons did that shit with his mind.
The clip is gone by joeelliott	Feb 27th, 2008 08:08:44 PM
and has been replaced by a non-funny clip. A take one something done by Garry Shandling about 10 years ago.
Here's a direct link to the video on nbc.com: by Kid Idioteque	Feb 27th, 2008 08:16:55 PM

I was wondering what this was all about by Orionsangels	Feb 27th, 2008 08:19:05 PM
At first I thought it was real, till he snaped at Ferrell. Then i thought. This has to be a conan skit or something, but its a movie?
So he's a red neck Borat? by ddschneider1972	Feb 27th, 2008 08:38:31 PM

A red neck Borat? by MetiphisLabs	Feb 27th, 2008 08:50:06 PM
What are you fucking stupid? Just because someone does a character you instantly compare him to another recently popular character? Please die in a fucking fire for not observing the countless characters throughout the history of mankind that preceded Borat. Idiot.
Not that funny... by The Grug	Feb 27th, 2008 08:51:25 PM
A bit humourous perhaps, but not really funny.
THIS IS THE UNFUNNIEST SHIT I'VE EVER SEEN by dtpena	Feb 27th, 2008 09:02:40 PM
FUCK YOU! NOT EVEN CONAN SAVED IT
If Conan last night by Series7	Feb 27th, 2008 09:14:16 PM
was any sign of things to come. I think Mori was wrong. No one on Conan was laughing, and laughing was an uncomfortable what the fuck is this laugh. If William Ferrell seemed embarrassed to be there.
Man by Series7	Feb 27th, 2008 09:22:00 PM
I need to learn to proof my post, sorry I was trying to write that and watch I am Beowulf for the first time.
Doin' the Borat... by Tourist	Feb 27th, 2008 10:32:24 PM
...Sell the fictional character. Which is good, if you have enough material to go around. This was kind of flat, but late show formats, what with their painfully unfunny and dead eyed mannequin hosts, aren't the best format to do funny on. Still looking forward to it, because I like that whole North Carolina/David Gordon Green thing. Which is why I'm looking forward to Pineapple Express and not the other Apatow Marshall flick thats coming. Plus he was funny in Hot Rod, which was the hardest working, but least funny comedy I've seen in yonks.
I'm 26... by Tourist	Feb 27th, 2008 10:34:21 PM
...But I don't meet the age requirements for the site. Suck my cock. I'll download this then, since I'm too old to want to go see it anyway.
THIS IS THE FUNNIEST SHIT I'VE EVER SEEN by Kurzinski Valentine	Feb 27th, 2008 10:47:05 PM
I'm serious.
He was the best thing... by landosystem	Feb 27th, 2008 10:58:18 PM
In Hot Rod, he was vastly better than anything else in that film.
i guess NBC and paramount don't want me to get excited by slappy jones	Feb 27th, 2008 11:26:19 PM
about their products...NBC pulls the conan clip and paramount make it impossible to enter their website. I am 33 yet cannot enter the site. when are these fucking studios going to realise by pissing people off they are driving people away from their products rather than building any awareness or hype. fuck them then...
Foot Fist Way is great... by BobMapplethorpe	Feb 27th, 2008 11:27:49 PM
I got a DVD screener a while back and I have to say that McBride's character is an absolute classic. The actress that plays his wife really sucks, but some of their scenes together are dynamite. This movie has one of the best comedy scenes of the year when McBride and one of his students are staking out his wife... great lines. And by the way, Apatow had nothing to do with the production of this movie, but after watching FFW, Apatow and Ferrell both saw that this guy is gonna be huge in comedy. fwiw McBride's got some old vids on his youtube profile oldboymcbride. He's just a normal guy that's finally getting a break, so don't hate.
Simmons' Conan bit was completely unfunny rubbish by TallBoy66	Feb 28th, 2008 01:57:54 AM
And I even laughed more at Farell's bit, and Farell was FUCKING TERRIBLE! Seriously, this shit will bomb and a bunch of upity douchebags will have something they can say was funny but everyone else "was too dumb to get it". So then you can feel smart. There you go. Enjoy it and the move onto the next flavour of the month after this goes.
I have to agree with tallboy. I didn't laugh once by Orionsangels	Feb 28th, 2008 02:03:56 AM
Sorry if you're reading this simmons and I know you are, awww don't cry simmons. it was just a promo on a talk show. lets see how the final product turns out. I
US-Exclusive "Official Site"? by slfricky	Feb 28th, 2008 03:25:28 AM
Fucking Lame.
Missed it! by Mneth	Feb 28th, 2008 05:37:18 AM
The clips already gone.
I´m not American by CuervoJones	Feb 28th, 2008 06:24:28 AM
So when i read the name "Conan" in AICN i think is news about a movie about the cimmerian.
Will should have... by Dazzler69	Feb 28th, 2008 06:48:26 AM
decked him out to get my interest on this. Or the other way around, no way I am seeing this crap.
Fuck all these 'enter your zip code' age verification sites. by henrydalton	Feb 28th, 2008 07:12:29 AM
Fuck them right in the ass. Not everyone lives in America, jackasses. And no, I can't be bothered to scout around the net finding a fake Zip code, THEY SHOULDN'T BE ON THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE. Fucking cuntthrush labia.
henrydalton - I always think of Shannon Doherty by sean bean	Feb 28th, 2008 08:10:27 AM
and use "90210"
More funny chuckle chuckle by skimn	Feb 28th, 2008 09:49:54 AM
than funny har de har har. Did appreciate the "mecca" line.
I cant even get into the site by macgruder	Feb 28th, 2008 11:12:07 AM
my proper credentials do not work, why is this necessary really? What kind of database are they running of names, are they checking some US database of residents? Lame.
Ok by Series7	Feb 28th, 2008 12:21:50 PM
So i checked out the site because everyone was saying that they could not get in. At first it wouldn't let me, and I thought it was just a joke. But then I realized that I had moved, put in my old ZIP and got in. Does anyone else find it creepy that a retarded MOVIE site can gain that sort of personal information about you? That is of course that there are certain ristrictions to getting in. It wouldn't bother me so much if say it was like a .gov site or something, but a movie site? Underage kids you better look out it may start to get a lot harder to get into over 18 sites then Click here if you are over 18.
These age verification sites are bullshit! by thebearovingian	Feb 28th, 2008 03:45:18 PM
And totally fuckin' ridiculous. I've entered my real info on a couple of occasions and STILL DIDN'T GET IN! I will not participate in one of those again. EVER.
When I saw this I thought.. by Tenebre	Feb 28th, 2008 11:15:32 PM
...Andy Kaufman. This is exactly the type of comedy he did. You know, be a total ass when 95 percent of the audience didn't have a clue. Only, this guy isn't as good. I'll probably see it anyway, but I know I'll be imagining Andy doing the gags.
Yea good call Tenebre by dablunt89	Feb 29th, 2008 01:31:44 AM
He definitely takes from Kaufman in that he pretends to act like a complete asshole. Honestly when I saw it on conan a few days back I loved it. But I don't think this style translates to youtube when you go to watch it fully knowing you are being duped. It's different with the characters by Sasha Baron Cohen because his characters are so cartoonish and over the top. The reason I liked it is because you could really imagine there is some douche bag tae kwon do instructor out there who thinks hes better then he is.
