Hot Rod (which had the same director) had a terrible unappealing trailer/premise and turned out to be hilarious and crazy, so I can see this being good.

hot rod didn't have the same director.

Times New Excels At (jim in glasgow), Tuesday, 18 May 2010 19:12 (3 years ago) Permalink

my bad -- each was directed by a different non-Samberg Lonely Island dude. i'm sure they make pretty similar movies anyway.

some dude, Tuesday, 18 May 2010 19:15 (3 years ago) Permalink

this looks fucking awful

this. the only thing i ever liked from will forte is an snl skit where he plays the dazed, semi-responsive spelling bee contestant. can't find actual video, but here's the audio.

tim calhoun is one of my favorite SNL recurring characters in recent history

I'm holding out for a Greg Stink movie

mizzell, Tuesday, 18 May 2010 20:38 (3 years ago) Permalink

SNL alums make plenty of great movies, but I seriously can't remember the last time an SNL CHARACTER made a good movie. when I saw the preview for this I was just surprised that they were already giving a vehicle to Forte. But I guess time flies a the laff factory that is SNL

i know

but it's funny

ngl, I want to see this.

this is definitely more "it'd be fun/ridiculous to do a MacGruber movie" than "Will Forte is such a rising star we have to bottle his lightening while he's still on SNL"

"but I seriously can't remember the last time an SNL CHARACTER made a good movie."

scott seward, Tuesday, 18 May 2010 20:52 (3 years ago) Permalink

will forte epitomizes what i don't like about snl now. the default emotion underlying the older snl cast members (70s, and to some extent, the early 80s) was flippancy to seething anger. the default emotion underlying the new snl cast members is an eagerness-to-please to total befuddlement.

dane cook is pretty angry

da croupier, Tuesday, 18 May 2010 21:03 (3 years ago) Permalink

he's not on snl, but it's a sign that the fire still burns

da croupier, Tuesday, 18 May 2010 21:03 (3 years ago) Permalink

Dane Cook is angry that he has one funny joke.

Have a slice of wine! (HI DERE), Tuesday, 18 May 2010 21:04 (3 years ago) Permalink

based on the special i saw part of, he's also angry that he can't be straight without having to spend time near vaginas

da croupier, Tuesday, 18 May 2010 21:05 (3 years ago) Permalink

i don't hear too much about dane cook anymore. thankfully. is his 15 minutes of dice clay fame up yet?

scott seward, Tuesday, 18 May 2010 21:06 (3 years ago) Permalink

dude stop trying to goad me into writing libelous shit about Dane Cook

Have a slice of wine! (HI DERE), Tuesday, 18 May 2010 21:07 (3 years ago) Permalink

is dane cook angry or funny? doesn't seem so. but he isn't on snl, i don't think.

Daniel, Esq., Tuesday, 18 May 2010 21:07 (3 years ago) Permalink

PLEASE WRITE SOMETHING LIBELOUS ABOUT DANE COOK

i am making a special request

Daniel, Esq., Tuesday, 18 May 2010 21:08 (3 years ago) Permalink

all these current people like forte make chevy chase look like some sort of immortal comedy god, and 75% of chevy's career is complete crap.

scott seward, Tuesday, 18 May 2010 21:08 (3 years ago) Permalink

yeah, this ^^^^^

Daniel, Esq., Tuesday, 18 May 2010 21:08 (3 years ago) Permalink

he was okay in modern problems imo

Daniel, Esq., Tuesday, 18 May 2010 21:09 (3 years ago) Permalink

dane cook is still probably the single most popular stand-up comedian in america, so I would say that no, his 15 minutes of fame are not over

iatee, Tuesday, 18 May 2010 21:09 (3 years ago) Permalink

for me, chevy chase career highlights goes SNL > Spies Like Us > Community

Mordy, Tuesday, 18 May 2010 21:10 (3 years ago) Permalink

dane's movie career seems kaput thankfully though

da croupier, Tuesday, 18 May 2010 21:10 (3 years ago) Permalink

well wasn't his gambit to play against type or something? haven't most of his characters been unlike his standup?

nah he's played a grabass jerk in every comedy i've seen part of and in the renowed costner thriller mr. brooks he kept acting like he was supposed to riff but had no material ("man i hate when people drive slowly on the highway...it's like...DRIVE FASTER!!!" that kind of shit)

the macgruber trailer looks fucking hilarious to me, and I hate the current SNL.

the sketch that Forte plays the trick or treating sex offender has got to be the best thing he's done.

Darin, Tuesday, 18 May 2010 21:39 (3 years ago) Permalink

tbh the Macgruber sketches were the only thing I laughed at on the recent Betty White ep (which was the first time I'd watched the show in like 5 years or something)
