After the jump, watch the first trailer for Funny People, starring Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen, written and directed by Judd Apatow (his first film as a director since Knocked Up). The good thing about casting Sandler in the lead is that unless his character slowly dies of cancer, it’s guaranteed to be his funniest film in 10 years. Hold on… Okay, I’m being told this is actually about his character slowly dying of cancer. Shit, this is gonna be close.
In other comedy-related news, I saw Patton Oswalt’s new show at Caroline’s the other night and it was pretty much the best thing to happen to me since I got to second base (that’s hand holding, right?). Except for the girls behind me who kept saying, “That’s so true!” Just as a PSA here, “that’s so true” and polite applause are to comedy what cell phones and crying babies are to movies. OMG, the microphone man said something surprising yet familiar! *claps flippers together*

I’ve determined that when the Apocalypse arrives in 2012, it will be titled Madea Meets Madison.

You mean both are things that lead to a forcible Smile Pinki?
“I enjoy your movies.”
That doctor is so full of shit.
Unless this ends up being, The Buffoon Dies of Prostate Cancer, He is not interested.
“That fawkin’ doctor…he had his hand way up my ass!”
I am so jealous that you saw the Patton Oswald.
With that much sarcasm in the title, I might just have to check this one out.
Nice going, Seth, it looks like you lost about 40 lbs. If you ever want them back, I think Jonah Hill found most of them.
This didn’t look funny at all. the only redeeming quality i saw was that i would bang the fuck out of that ginger chick.
“What, I’m NOT gonna die? Damn, I already told everyone what I really thought about them! I gave away my damn Ipod! I had unprotected sex with Lindsay Lohan! Oh, life sucks!”
On the positive side, if Sandler’s character DOES die and go to hell, he’ll get to meet himself as Little Nicky.
When anyone goes to hell, they have to watch Little Nicky.
You know, because it was so terrible.
Chortle chortle chortle!
Nice, a dick-step and a Durst in one post.
Of course Sandler’s character ends up surviving, only funny comedians die young.
if your are in life as you are in death then comedians dying is hilarious.
Sorry. I lost a bet and I was dared. Yeah, that’s why I’m not funny.
Hey, has anyone seen Patty Boots? Ever notice how both of us never comment on the same post?
hmmm… Sandler vs Rogen…
Jew-on-Jew violence never solved anything…
OR WILL IT????
(Goose-steps off into the distance)
I thought Fanboys had the geek dying of cancer thing covered?
