College Humor: Nick Frost and Simon Pegg in Star Wars

I like how Nick Frost gives R2D2 a voice (in more than one sense). Their attention to detail makes for an excellent fictional debate.



For those who aren't familiar, Frost and Pegg are best friends who frequently collaborate for TV and film productions. You may also recognize Pegg from the latest Stars Trek adaptation; he also narrated Season 1 of Doctor Who Confidential.

Their latest project is Paul, a movie about an alien (voiced by Seth Rogen) whose name explains the film title. Frost and Pegg play two super nerds on a road trip who stumble upon said extraterrestrial. The couple initially experience shock and then end up fighting to defend the little guy. Supporting actors include Jason Bateman, Kristein Wiig, Jane Lynch, and Bill Hader. When I watch the trailer, I find myself torn between going 'blech' (Paul's gross looking in my opinion) and 'haha' (the cast and Pegg/Frost's writing should make for lots of laughs).

Here's the trailer:

College Humor: Always Open Featuring Amy Poehler

Warning: You may lose about 40 minutes of your time if you start reading this post and have little self control...
Read this as: Lots of funny videos! I couldn't resist sharing. ;)




I stumbled upon this after reading some of Jason Bateman's tweets. 


This video series, Always Open with Dave Koechner, features Dave interviewing various actors and actresses. In the most recent one, he sits down with a lovely Amy Poehler at Denny's. She's hilarious as always, and my favorite line is the following: 


I think if I had to fight I'd have to fight like a chimp. I think I'd go for their tender areas. 


I think that's a very good strategy, Mrs. Poehler. I'd probably do the same.

And of course, whenever I think of Amy Poehler, I can't help but thing of her equally hilarious husband Will Arnett. And lucky for us, there's a video interview with him. I found Arnett's interview to be as laugh-out-loud funny as Arnett's role as GOB from Arrested Development. He shows off his comedy chops (or underlying craziness...or maybe they're synonymous) when he plays the scenario game with Koechner.

Arnett's best bit? 1-2-3-Dolphin eyes! Feels good, right? Fisherman's Net! That's life. 



And...I might as well save you the virtual trip by putting the rest of them here. Anyway, the collegehumor site is pretty annoying. If you click anywhere outside of the video window, it opens up Denny's facebook page.

Jason Bateman! I liked the second half the best. The more I attempt to verbalize what I find funny to you all, the more I realize how much I love the absurd.


Sarah Silverman! Speaking about the absurd....check her interview out. I think hers and Will Arnett's interviews were my favorite.


Will Forte! He was hilarious in 30Rock. Also, I find his voice to be very soothing. The bit about smiling and smiling harder made me laugh.
