Much like Tropic Thunder, it’s looking like the best part the upcoming Judd Apatow-directed Funny People might be the virals and fake movies within-the-movie.  These videos (above and below) are the latest to hit the web.  They’re from the (fake) TV show starring Jason Schwartzman’s character – a self-obsessed NBC TV star on a show called, “Yo, Teach…!” (I’m assuming they’ll eventually be part of the DVD extras).  You may notice that one of Schwartzman’s students is Bo Burnham, the painfully dorky YouTube rap sensation with whom Apatow is supposedly writing the “anti-High School Musical.”  It’s not that I’m not impressed by this kid’s songs, it’s just that his comedy is… different.  It’s the kind of comedy that says, “Let’s never hang out*.”
