I Love You, Man comes out March 20th, and the guys behind it want to make sure you’re hip to the “lingo” before you go into the theater and make an ass of yourself by assuming it was gonna be in your “grandma’s English.”  So they released these new posters, Pop a Squiznot, Totes Magotes, Dude Von Dudenstein, and Sweet Sweet Hangin.  Still the big question is: what the f-ck is up with Jason Segel’s hair?  He looks like… well, everyone I hung out with in eighth grade, actually.

The studio sent me this new short red-band clip from I Love You, Man* late yesterday, and I watched it, thought, Meh, and it sat in my inbox a while longer.  Since then, it made its way around the web faster than your sister at college football recruiting party and has been emailed to me by at least five more people, all telling me how funny it is.  So who knows, maybe I’m the f-cked up one. Anyway, check out the clip after the jump. But be sure to hold onto your sides first.

*Which I should point out I’ve heard nothing but good things about from people who’ve seen it.

Here’s another red band trailer for I Love You, Man, whose preposterous premise is that Paul Rudd doesn’t have any male friends. We also get a preview of a new subplot, that Rudd’s fiancée doesn’t do fellatio.  I think most guys would agree that no fellatio = not marriage material. Possibly not even one-night-stand material. Unless she’s really into anal or under 17.  What?  Why are you looking at me like that?  Anyway, grow up, ladies.  You want some idea what we’re dealing with, turn the dick inside out. And you don’t see us complaining.  High fiving, maybe. Hey, why does this post smell like Axe Body Spray all of a sudden?

Even if I hadn’t already gotten a good review back from Chodin who I sent to an early screening (I’ll post that when we get closer to release), I’d still be excited for I Love You, Man.  Paul Rudd? Andy Samberg?  J.K. Simmons?  Yes, please. It plays opening night of the SXSW Festival (that’s South by Southwest, for all you non hipster dickweeds out there) and opens wide in March.  The only problem is the plot, which involves Paul Rudd desperately seeking a best man for his wedding.  I mean, who wouldn’t want to be friends with Paul Rudd?  I don’t know about you, but sometimes I like to daydream that he and I are best friends. He pushes me down the slide, hangs out with me in our sweet clubhouse, pulls me around in my red wagon – kinda like those My Buddy commercials. What? You don’t do that? Yeah, you wouldn’t. Fag.

The other night I sent Chodin to an advance screening in L.A. and he came back talking about how good it was.  And I was all like, “Wait, you’re saying a new comedy with Jim Carrey was actually good???”  And he was all like, “No, dumbass, not Yes Man, the screening was for I Love You, Man, with Paul Rudd!”  And I was all like, “OMG, that makes so much more sense now!”

Boy, we had a pretty good laugh about that one.  Anyway, here’s the new trailer for Yes Man.
