11.05.09 UPDATE: 2012 + RAISING ARIZONA = AWESOME
This is a little video called Raising 2012, made by this guy. The one great thing to come out of 2012 being so terrible is how much random people on the internet have been able to improve it with simple editing choices. See also: 2012 without FX, 2012 - the Disaster Porn trailer for examples. This time around, the only change was to sub in some music from Raising Arizona, and yet… it’s SO MUCH BETTER! I also would’ve accepted “Yakety Sax.” In fact, and I’m just gonna lay this out there because it’s my dream, close your eyes and imagine: Greasy Sax Man playing “Yakety Sax” in the top right corner of the trailer, greenscreen vignette-style, like those old sign language translators. Oh wouldn’t it… beee niiiiice….
UPDATE: Now with more Yakety Sax (bottom video)
Thanks to Morton Salt for the tip
UPDATE:
It’s not Greasy Sax Man, but it’ll do. Thanks @greg_hudson

<—- Greasy Sax Man lifts his mighty sax, and erection, in approval.

I don’t care what song it is as long as it’s blasting from a boombox held by John Cusack outside my bedroom window.
*sigh
Wile E Coyote thinks John Cusack’s character can go fuck himself.
BONG!!!!!! FAIL! WON’T DESTROY MUSLIM LANDMARKS BECAUSE TOO CHICKENSHIT!
Fek - Thanks to Mohammad Brand Mortar and Spackle, Muslim landmarks are unshakable.
He’s driving like he’s racing those two Asian kids, with one doing their best “Howard Cosell”.
Hey Fek, what if we go destroy some Muslim landmarks on film and do our own 2012 mashup?
I’ve just been playing the trailer on mute while listening to Dan Fogelberg’s Same Auld Lang Syne. I can’t stop crying, and I need to hang ornaments.
I haven’t seen him move so fast since the paperboy was chasing him!
That plane almost made it up that hill, benny.
This could just be the hormones, but that Raising 2012 video made me weep with joy.
I’ve finally figured out how Roland Emmerich came up with 2012…
Have you seen that episode of South Park where Stan’s dad is constipated for a month or something, and when he finally takes a laxative he has the biggest crap ever?
Well, ever since the disaster movie went out of style for a bit after 9/11, Roland Emmerich has been walking around with his ass cheeks clenched, dying to just let it rip with another crap like Independence Day or Godzilla, and only getting out a fart like Day After Tomorrow, but now he’s had his bran and prunes and is dropping 2012, THE BIGGEST TURD IN THE HISTORY OF MAN!
I don’t normally come in here to comment, but by God that is the funniest thing I have seen all day. Thank you for bringing it to light. Keep up with the 2012 bashing, it’s comedy gold. And if you really want yakety sax and the greasy sax guy and 2012 I might just make that happen for you.
That ‘Raising 2012′ clip was good, but if it had cut to Leonard Smalls, the Lone Biker of the Apocolypse, at the end …
Well, that would have been super.
