I know this isn’t strictly movie-related, but I posted part one of Mediocre Films‘ fake shopping list sketch/prank last week, and it was kind of a hit. Watching part 2, I find my enthusiasm for the concept has not waned. It’s so simple and yet so brilliant — the guys give each other a list of fake products, and they have to see how many they can ask about before the Wal Mart clerk walks away. Frankly, I’m pissed I didn’t think of this first.

Some of my favorite fake products:

• Baby’s First Pee Set

• Sassy Señorita Cereal

• Cankle Drops

• Stove Babies

• Dr. Normal’s Condoms for One

• Safety Corn

• Pork Muffs

My favorite exchange: “Pork muffs?” “Yeah, it’s for pigs’ ears.”

A few days ago, Netflix Co-Founder Reed Hastings announced that, in order to assuage consumer anger over their recent wage hike, they’d be splitting their streaming service and DVD service into two separate companies, Netflix (streaming) and Qwikster (DVDs, retarded names from the late 90s). Now Blockbuster, with the help of Landline TV, has announced that they’ll be diversifying their DVD rental business and their popcorn business into two separate entities: Blockbuster, which will still rent movies, and Plopydop, which will sell popcorn, which has been renamed Plopydop. You see? This business model is really catching on. In fact, in the wake of these announcements, I’ve decided that from this day forth, all writing will be done by me, Vince Mancini, while the other portion of the FilmDrunk business model — silly Photoshops — will now be created by an alter ego whom I’ve named Sir Penis Von Wienerheim.

Eh. Frankly, Sir Penis, I’ve seen better.

Yes, the video below, “The School of French Kissing for Dogs,” is pretty much exactly what it sounds like. Great job on this one, internet. It would be impossible for me to overstate how much I love this banner image. Boston Terriers are dumb as hell, but what they lack in intelligence, they more than make up for in googly eyeballs. Paris Hilton tried the same thing, didn’t really work.

This new video from LandlineTV takes us inside the world of Kevin James, and his intense preparations for disappearing into the role of Paul Blart: Mall Cop.

“You couldn’t say ‘Cut, good take, Kevin,’ you’d have to say ‘that’s a great take, Paul.’ Kevin James left the set the first day of production.”

“Working with Kevin is like taking a class on life.  One thing he taught me is that lines are funnier, when you shout them.”

Ahh, Kevin James.  He’s like the Kevin Farley of white Carlos Mencias.
