‘BROMANCE’ IS LIKE, A THING NOW
10.15.09
I Love You, Man was good because Jason Segel and Paul Rudd made it funny, not because of the cheesy and sort of average story. But no matter, sharpen up your stabbin’ knife, because “bromance” is the new buzzword around town.
Summit has bought a pitch from Alan Yang called “We Love You,” a bromantic comedy with echoes of “I Love You, Man.” The story revolves around two close friends who discover they’re dating the same woman and the comedic and relationship consequences that ensue when they try to disentangle the situation. Yang counts “South Park” and “Parks and Recreation” among his credits; he also sold the interracial adoption comedy “White Dad” to Sony and has done a rewrite of the David Dobkin project “Boss Go Home” at Warners. [THR]
That’s right, the article writer called something a “bromantic comedy” – without even putting quotes around it. Because it’s a widely acknowledged phenomenon now. A dude. A dude wrote that. Does he not have an editor? Or an older brother to sock him in the shoulder when he does stuff like this? Friends to tell him he looks like a queer with that haircut? This is what’s wrong with America. …And I’m copyrighting Bromeo & Tooliet right now, just so none of these f-ckers can steal it.

Vinnie, your paisano need work, too.
The Mighty Feklahr is certain one of these guys has a mer-men tattoo…

They touch dick tips, don’t they?
So now I’m rollin’ down Brodeo with a shotgun,
these people ain’t seen a,

Disentangle the dangle, brah.
Context Donk! If they are drunk and one of them is dressed like a girl*…it’s cool.
*and found in the Cedar River later
*slips on dress, slams Jagerbomb*
DeFrank, He is all yours.
“Bromance” is a much more acceptable word for it than the more apt and suggestive “Butt-Buddy Comedy”.
I’m thinking this movie is going to have a DP in it.
That’s right, a director of photography.
I’d rather watch a bromance comedy than a circle tearjerker.
Look, we’re as open to lazy, completely fabricated, meaningless media memes as the next toe-nail chewing fraud. But this surprising new trend of dudes hanging out, shooting the shit, grilling up burgers and tossing a few back is cutting it a little close for comfort if you know what we mean. There’s just something a little unseemly about a guy who can tolerate being in the general vicinity of another man. If God had wanted men to chill out together he wouldn’t have invented missile launchers and lacrosse sticks now would he?

I’m also thinking this movie will have a brojob in it.
That’s right, one will suck the other’s dangle.
Upon hearing the term “bromance”, Tom De Falco suddenly stands up and shouts, “Boys, we finally have our pitch for an Alpha Flight movie! Yeah!!!”
Wow, am I that annoying when I whore out my blog here?
I guess I’ll just have to wait another year for movies about people discovering they have cancer to be the next big thing.
*Deletes “Biopsic” from spell check’s memory*

Wes and Tristan agreed to call their relationship a bromance as long as “bro” is short for “Bronte.”

Two Men And A Butt Baby
Dirty Hairy > On the list
Charlie and Tex Watson had a bromanson.
Look, I’m all for people trying to showcase their writing talents and humor through any available medium as much as the next basement-living pudlick. But this cliche and irritating trend of stopping by a popular blog to ramble on and pimp your blog is awesome!

I wonder if Christian Slater is available to do ‘True Bromance’.
The longer I have that banner pic on my screen, the more my office smells like vinegar and water.
2010 will usher in the new meme Brotragedy, with the sad story of a group of construction workers and one friend’s secret illness, Four Weldings and a Funeral.
I have no doubt in my mind that those three would suck each others cocks, on camera, if they thought it would better their chances of being contestants on Daisy of Love.
Fek has to deal with douches like this in his travels all the time. Fucking Bromulans…
Re-team Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner in Bromancing the Stone.
What? Have you seen her lately??
The longer I have that banner pic on my screen, the more my office smells like vinegar and water.
J, that is so messed up cuz He has been monitoring His blood sugar and watching carbs and shit, and He had just got done eating a bunch of dill pickles before He read that.
True story! BTK, free tip for easy diabetic snacking-cheese sticks and pickles, virtually zero carbs.
Oh! And silver bullets are only 5 carbs a can! You can have 6 of them as a snack!
I bet all three of the guys in that banner pic can get a brah off with one hand.
I’m writing a movie about two buds who buy a boutique in L.A. together.
It’s called Brodeo Drive.
I’d rather be in a UFO balloon over Colorado.
I see a little silhouetto of a bro,
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fagdangle
Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very tattooing me
(Galileo) Galileo (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo fagaro
(That’s right, Brohemian Rhapsody!)
Donk-the only redeeming value to the Bromulans is that at least they will offer to suck you off before you waporize them. Regular Romulans you just have to shoot and fuck the disruptor hole in their head.
If the friends found out the girl lied about her age and she was really underage, would this be considered a “bromanpolanski”?
HEY CAN YOU GUYS TELL MY BOSS LEFT THE OFFICE????
A movie about a three dudes who become tight on a cruise.
Bro, Bro, Bro Your Boat
Fek – a couple more diabetic tips: half a turkey sandwich on whole grain bread before bed has about the right mix of protein, fiber, and carbs to help keep the blood sugar stable overnight; Stevia is one of the only sweeteners that doesn’t spike insulin; and white chocolate doesn’t have any caffeine in it. Also, once you get used to knowing how your blood sugar usually responds to shit, you don’t really need to test as often as they say. If you need me to explain the best places on your fingers to poke yourself so it hurts less or any other questions you have, I can try to explain that too.
When my best bud and I want chocolate and caramel, we always eat some Brollos.
No, Jack! Three dudes who become tight on a Cruise is called a Scientology Retreat.
What great advice, BroboPanda.
Dude, bopa, thanks! I kept getting a small spike in my blood sugar first thing in the morning and it is relatively stable the rest of the day. TURKEY SAMMITCH FTW!
Fek, Mrs. JHC has had the diabeetus since she was 3, so I know where you’re coming from.
How can we work diabetes into a bromantic comedy?
Jack!-Wilford Brimley?
Have it star Wilfred Bro-mley.
Mos Def, Martin Lawrence and Bill Cosby in Bro Better Blues.
Sorry for the dangle-step, Fek.
Are you allowed to eat brogurt?
Oh, and just in case you guys are worried, my blood sugar isn’t bad or anything. It just happened to test at 177 when my doctor was running labs one time, but since I have been testing and even MODERATELY watching my carbs, it’s like 120 when I wake up and 80-95 the rest of the day.
Diablo Brody thinks this movie’s gonna be totes awesome.
No apology necessary, terran dog.
Bro-mley > Brimley
Literally, New “Up”.
I know it’s annoying for whatever territorial reasons, but I read the site every day and it happened to be apropos in this instance, so come on. Not like I’m a robot spamming irrelevant nonsense. Plus that shit works.
Bromantic comedy with diabetes?
Ryan Gosling gets sweet on Wilford Brimley.
After some soul searching in the past few minutes I’ve decided that posting a link on a website dedicated to posting links to other websites is probably over the line. Consider this a learning experience for all of us, but especially me.
I was gonna say you can just repackage Steel Magnolias as Steel Bronolias and say Julia Roberts is a brah.
So wait… If a movie about two male best friends is a “bromance”, would that make a movie about two female best friends a “homance”?
This movie will make you wanna bro you brains out with a .45
The combined date rape charges of those three are astounding.
Yang really needs to start counting being a contributing member of FireJoeMorgan.com on his list of credits. He won’t be apart of anything better, ever.
Bromancers mainly argue over who gets to be the power bottom.
(to the tune of Mary Had A Little Lamb)
Brah brah douchebag got any GHB?
Yes brah, yes brah, a ziploc baggie.
I got it from my brah-ther,
He picked it up today
I’ll slip some to that guy I tease about being gayyyyy
