People in the entertainment industry often lament that no one shoots movies in LA anymore because it’s too expensive.  There’ve been rumblings about offering tax incentives to lure productions back, but in the meantime, New York City productions reached an all-time high last year thanks in part to Mayor Bloomberg’s incentive programs.  Shooting in NYC, however, has its own obstacles.  Namely, A-holes.  A couple weeks ago there was the PA who got headbutted on the set of Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s new movie.  Today, there’s this guy.

Basically, some guys were trying to do a very important, very professional photoshoot of a 17-year-old in short shorts doing ballerina poses in Time Square.  That’s when a third guy had the audacity to try to film essentially the same thing, but zoomed in much tighter on the butt and crotchal regions. That sets off a confrontation that begins at about 2:50 of the video.  And it. Is. Sublime.  No only does the videographer possess the nasally stoner voice of Pee Wee Herman and the vocabulary of Kenny Powers, he gets positively indignant when the C-blocking camera assistants try to infringe upon his God-given right to film underage ‘tang in public.  That’s when a bicycle messenger and his ear plugs show up to protect the girl’s honor, at which point Homeless Kenny Powers rightly calls him out for being dressed like “a goober.”

‘Scuuse yooou.  ‘Scuuse yooou.  Let go a my camera, Goober. Awright, Goober.  Nice OUTFIT too.  Don’t touch me, duuuude. Yeah, you just ran over my FOOT.  That’s why you got DROPPED.

Get his man a reality show immediately.

UPDATE: Apparently, the guy filming is Howard Stern show wackpack member Joey Boots. Rarely have I seen a person look so much he sounds.
