As much as I am a lover of warm weather, summer is the season of stale cultural retreads. No worthwhile TV. Scads of bland popcorn flicks and remakes. Sure, a few football players helpfully implode their careers in the service of futilely attempting to slake our insatiable lust for football news, but truthfully, fresh Mike Vick dogfighting jokes probably won’t last us through June, the discovery of a doggie Dachau or no. And because I’m enough of a low-level functionary at work, I can’t get much time to enjoy the summery splendor – I worked two out of three days over Memorial Day weekend, don’t have enough money to take any exotic vacations, bitchbitchbitch, etc.
Anyway, there are always at least one or two media-related gems that keep me going. Hopefully, The Simpsons Movie will be one. Another such movie is this week’s Knocked Up, Judd Apatow’s follow-up to The 40-Year-Old Virgin. In a bit of viral marketing, the filmmakers released this outtake with Michael Cera, best known as Arrested Development’s George Michael, fabulously and petulently botching a key scene. It’s no Lily Tomlin having it out with David O. Russell, but it’s all done in a winkingly good humor and fine watching nonethless.

How do we not get pictures of Jean Grey in posts that mention Ape’s pussy?
“Outstanding. That kid has so much passion, no wonder he taught Ann the ways of the secular flesh.”
Hee Otto!
I can not fucking wait for Knocked Up, Judd Apatow can do no wrong.
Michael Cera is going to run the comedy game in the next five years. This only makes my case stronger.
That Cera clip is indeed pretty friggin hilarious, and Knocked Up should just be a blast .. .The world needs many more good R-rated comedies, especially in summer
@Austonboston…
You havnt posted here yet, but Matt has something to say to you in a post on the last article. Comment Gallary is awaiting your response.
Thank You.
are you serious, this can be a movie in itself.
lolcats
I learn something new everyday here at KSK.
cera’s trailer he made for himself after arrested development got cancelled was pure genius. i forget the name but it’s on youtube and all he does is talk about how awesome he is. it’s hilarious.
That wasn’t just gay, that was McSweeney’s gay.
yeah, i might have to use that line at work the next time people piss me off.
“Fuck this noise, fuck all of you, this is bullshit.”
This statement is applicable to so many situations.
And here I am thinking that directors are treated like GODS on the set.
See, shoudl have had Mel Gibson direct this, no way you talk back to Mel.
i dont care if it is a fake, i would punch him in the face, for being a terrible actor, and a bitch.
j money, it’s a shoot they did for Apatow and Cera’s upcoming Superbad comedy. They released this and some media outlets picked it up as real, which is generating a lot more attention for the film. Seth Rogan was picked to star in Knocked Up from the start.
also featuring george michael and amazing looking: Superbad.

that’s the red band trailer, with all the swearing, sooo.. nsfw-ish?
larry, this might get you up to speed on the family circus/lolcats cartoon. http://lolcats2.com/
hooker- at least he got to go in head first
i r lurvin teh lolcat joeks, xmas aip
k bai
excellent, eagerly awaiting the ufl post.
the ufl has xfl/wfl/usfl writeen all over it. i’d like to see it though so we can watch mark cuban fall flat on his face.
So, wait… I’m slow on the uptake — is this realy a melt-down on the set or is it just a well-done phony?
beaverfever: later today
larry burns: it’s sort of a riff on our combined fondness of re-captioning Family Circus comics and lolcats. Please try to keep up.
Superbad looks better than Knocked Up, but it’s all genius to me.
i uh dn’t get the family circus, please explain.
off topic, but when will we see KSK’s first post on the UFL ?
he still seems pissed that maeby wouldn’t let him past second base.
Outstanding. That kid has so much passion, no wonder he taught Ann the ways of the secular flesh.
