The dude from MTV caught up with Aaron Eckhart outside the Golden Globes last night to ask him if Harvey Dent would have a place in The Dark Knight sequel. Since the film’s still barely at the brainstorming stage, who really gives a shit. There’s no way the actors would have that kind of information anyway. Actually, the reason I’m posting this clip is that I’m impressed by MTV’s ability to consistently produce the most socially awkward interviews imaginable. Starting at the three-second mark, Eckhart chuckles for seven straight seconds. I know that doesn’t sound like a super long time, but keep in mind no one made a joke or said anything remotely funny. Yet Eckhart clearly states, “Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.”
Does anyone ever give this guy a straight answer about anything? That is the fakest laugh I’ve ever heard that didn’t come out of Tom Cruise. MTV: Where normal human interaction goes to die.

Harvey will only be referred to as Bruce Wayne’s six-foot tall imaginary friend.
Fun fact: In the original Batman comic, Two-Face was initially named “Harvey Kent”. Dor sho gha! He could have been Clark Kent’s cousin! KISSING COUSIN! Oooo!
That’s right. A Jimmy Stewart joke. Fuck me I’m relevant.
Are you implying that Flagpole Sitta was a shitty song?
I’m guessing he didn’t have a Twix to shove in his mouth, or a pack of Mentos to give him the power to make a slick escape…
Robo – the only reason I avoided the rabbit joke is because I knew I couldn’t type it fast enough.
When an MTV Red Carpet reporter says “C’mon, give me something!” you either uncomfortably laugh or pull your pants down and start drilling for oil. I respect Aaron Eckhart’s decision.
Because you’d be right. It’s a fucking awful song.
MTV’s journalistic integrity died when Jesse disappeared. I’ve been forced to watch VH1 ever since.
*Turns oven on, opens door*
Where’s that Kurt Schrotur guy when you need him?
DEF AWKWARD is what Russell Simmons calls it when he tries to have sex with a girl.
That dude puts the “Mmmmmmmm?” in MTV.
I wanna see someone throw up on the MTV reporter. Preferably Brundlefly.
It’s Def awkward when Mos can’t find the beat.
How many times does Aaron have to say, “I don’t know?”
Oh, MTV. You’re so reliably awful.
Richard Karn, Home Improvement‘s Al Borland would’ve just said:
“I don’t think so, Tim.”
The only scoop this MTV reporter will ever get is at his local Cold Stone Creamery! BURN!
DEF AWKWARD is when my dad used to listen to Real Sex on HBO really, really loud cuz he can’t hear for shit.
Isn’t it obvious that Aaron Eckhart is already preparing to take over the role of The Joker?
Poor Aaron. Let me comfort you.
DEF AWKWARD is like that time I pinched Marlee Matlin’s boob and said, “honk” but she didn’t understand it because she didn’t hear me say “honk”.
This reporter forgot the first rule of Red Carpet coverage… Always recite questions in compliment form.
DEF AWKWARD was the time I had to go to the doctor to have a light bulb removed from my rectum. But, there was a reasonable explanation as to why it was there so it was okay.
PARANOIA PARANOIA EVERYBODY’S COMING TO GET ME!
This still isn’t as bad as the time they tried to interview Tone Loc when he was making out with that dude’s wife in the Escalade at the Pollo Loco parking lot. Or was that Cheaters? Whichever, it was pretty awkward.
Joanna Kerns, Maggie Seaver would’ve just said:
“I doubt it, Jason.”
Two things that make me pray for Captain Trips;
1. The commercials or the radio telling me to stop listening to my iPod and listen to the radio. You see ya mush dicked retards, if I was listening to the iPod, I wouldn’t hear your stupid fucking commercial. This is why radio programming sucks, you people run Clear Channel.
2. Watching a commercial about the Digital Transition on a cable channel, telling me that it’ll only be an issue if I don’t have cable. Really? Die.
DEF AWKWARD is when you hold your hand out to shake the drummer from Def Leppard’s hand.
DEF AWKWARD is when you shake your leg when Def Leppard drums you a solo.
Nice photoshop work, Pep.
DEF AWKWARD is when someone with the username of Chino Moreno can’t think of a Deftones joke.
I think Hoey has a crush on you Jack!.
Nice fellatio work, Pip.
Here noMore;
Def awkward is when Chino is crowd surfing and a dude massages his anus just a little to long for it to be an accident.
I wish people were funny when they were trying to be smart.
I wish Pepper was funny, just once.
It must take a lot of skill to fold sheets and post on the internet at the same time.
Thanks ReMu.
That would be def awkward. And also a little bit awesome.
Pepper sounds neat-o. Like the kind of guy who could get me a sweet deal on a cell phone contract.
What, was he over there talking about starting a flame war again, then suprised that we know it’s his ass when some retard shows up and starts flaming?
Was Pepper ever once funny?
Does it take a lot of skill to arrange sheets while entering comments on the web?
Bernie Kopell, The Love Boat‘s Dr. Adam Bricker, thinks you’re fucking hysterical.
Was Feklahr ever once funny? :(
*grabs can of shaving cream and cues up Naughty By Nature tape*
I get sad when VaLince ends the day with a post about a video I can’t watch here at the “job.” I know it’s good for the site ratings and all, but I am left with nothing but meandering bullshit to talk about because I have no idea what the fuck is really going on.
Oh, wait… that’s normal, ya?
Carry on!
Andrew Koenig, Growing Pain’s Boner thinks you’re clinically terrible?
What was Boner’s “real” name on Growing Pains?
What if Boner’s “real” name was Richard Karn?
I’m so confused. I though the evil twin was supposed to have a goatee. Or maybe an eyepatch. I don’t see either one!
Boner’s “real” name was Richard Stabbone, silly.
And his father’s name was Sylvester Stabbone.
Dick Stab Bone? Really?
Aqua Velva is Two-Face’s after shave acid of choice.
Boner’s “real” name was Sylvester Karn?
And his father’s name was Richard Karn, Home Improvement’s Al Borland?
“Andrew Koenig, Growing Pain’s Boner thinks you’re clinically terrible?”
Wow, where is Hoey with the apostrophe corrections when he’s actually needed?
“Where normal human interaction goes to die” I thought that was a Scientology Center.
** Gets up out of Burnsy’s lap **
WTF did I miss? Was there some sort of invasion that’s since been deleted? I’m all groggy. Those were good drinks, Burnsy.
Eckhart’s last Def Awkward interaction was when he dumped that chick at the end of In The Company of Men.
Diremutt, I do have a huge crush on Jacktion!, but in a purely healthy “he-won’t-ever respect-me” kind of way. I would NEVER make up a new username in a pathetic cyber-stalking attempt, if that’s what you were implying … that’s pepper’s domain.
B.K., it has since been established that my punctuation corrections are indeed erroneous, incorrect and fucking wrong.
Burnsy: Harvey Danger?
Tracey Gold, Growing Pains‘ Carol Seaver, wonders what your obsession with her costars is.
Hoey, I know it isn’t you.
But if your crush is that huge, maybe we can get together sometime.
Where is CCH to facilitate this cross-country affair between Jack and Hoey?
Rhoda Gemignani, Who’s The Boss?‘s Mrs Rossini, swears Hoey is innocent of all charges!
Except the “fucking idiot” part, that’s a given
Oooh, “facilitate”!
I like the sound of that.
OK clearly I missed something, but who the fuck is Hoey and Hoey’s alter and why are both still here?
It means Robot Fucking.
“Facilitate” does, I mean . . . Al.
I fucking aced my verbal SATs.
Facilitate : Robot Fucking :: Filmdrunk : Also Robot Fucking
I rocked the math portion’s ass, boPan.
<— Nation Merit Scholar (of robot fucking)
I aced my oral SATs. No idea why my gym coach was the only proctor available.
Being a (Rader) Nation Merit Scholar is way better than being a National Merit Scholar.
Paul Reiser? Really?
I laced your drinks. No reason, just thought you’d all like to know that you’re going to be feeling funny tomorrow. And your butts might hurt, depending on whether or not Chodin shows up.
Hi, I’m Troy McClure, you may remember me from such other threads as none…because I’m new, and have never posted before. I have nothing worthwhile to add, I’m sorry for wasting your time.
I’m a card-carrying member of MENAMBLSA
Al, it’s fair enough that Jacktion! hates me, I incorrectly called him out on an apostrophe.
What exactly did I do/say to you?
Hoey, how I felt about you makes no difference.
Because your new screen name seriously makes me love you.
Honest.
Donk, you mean the Mentally Enhanced, Naturally Athletic, Mega-Buff Liars Society of America?
Me too!
*Does secret MENAMBLSA handshake with Jack, hands him piss boot*
Thanks Jacktion!, I figured if I stopped trying to be smart, funny, or both, people might get to know the real me.
*sniff*
Now if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go call my grandma!
*Downs piss boot, refills it, and passes it back to Donk*
Hoey, it annoys me all to hell when someone I don’t know addresses me, but suffice it to say you pissed off another incarnation of “me” some time ago so I’m not buying your shit. Note “pissed off” is a bagillion times worse than “annoyed”, so walk softly. Also, it’s PMS time so EVERYBODY RUN!
Al, shut the fuck up.
Jack!, you talkin to me?
Al, see my previous comment.
You know whats awkward? That I couldn’t bring the funny if it had a handle.
*Gets out abacus, starts noting dates on which to “walk softly”*
Let’s see … January twelfth, plus 28 days … no, wait. Better give it a whole week, just to make sure …
January NINETEENTH, plus … TWENTY-ONE days … I think…
Ah, fuck it.
I’ll come back 2010.
MTV reporter knew he was onto a signature reporting style when as a child he asked his uncle, “Uncle Jim, while I was sleeping did you finger my ass?”
I couldn’t bring the funny if it had a handle.
That’s okay, I couldn’t bring the funny, either, even though I paid her in advance.
“Walk Softly”. Sister of “Tread Lightly”.
Either way, make sure it’s a big fucking stick.
Did I miss something? Is there some kinda gender confusion going on?
I think it’s more of an “agenda” problem.
Al’s pissed off coz I called her “Smelly Ally” on the Fish Odor Syndrome discussion boards.
At least, I THINK that’s what she’s pissed about…
‘Abooot’- You think that’s what she’s pissed aboot…
You shoulda took a jab at her weight. Because EVERYONE knows girls love it when you comment on they weight….
*sigh/eye-roll*
I smell bromance. It smells like axe body spray and crotch rot.
That’s hysterical, ggedha!
Not as hysterical as when Joel McHale said it, though.
I smell more like chicken broth and mustard right about now.
Ever since Al and I slept together, our periods have synchronized. Which is bad news for n00bs. But good news for Moon Cups.
Who the fuck is Joel McHale and why is he stealing my jokes before I have had a chance to say them?
Ever since Al and I slept together, our periods have synchronized. Which is bad news for n00bs. But good news for Moon Cups.
2 Girls 1 Moon Cup?
.
.
sorry
That’s how I laughed when I got my first blowjob.
I’ve said too much.
