Holy fuck. What did I just watch.

Holy fuck. What did I just watch.

Some shit.

 

[Miss.Selfdestruct]

Oh God I hope not. Rather I expect Cera to be see as an actor with range and get a role in a film playing something other than the awkward adolescent.

Hope you people aren't serious. The guy cannot act outside of creepy old man with a 7 year old's body that can pass for an awkward teenager.

Scott Pilgrim was an exception since it was close to the typecast.

people saying "how is this funny?" don't get it huh?

Not sure about others. I 'get it.' Still don't think it was amazing. *shrug*

 

[Goreomedy]

Liked it, a lot. Reminds me of a Todd Solondz film.

It sort of reminded me of a cross between that and one of those arty Kids In The Hall shorts.

 

[Max@GC]

the only funny thing about it is that he trolled youtube comedy week quite nicely...which is pretty awesome and therefore funny...best video imo.

 

[Trigger]

I'm not even sure how to feel.

 

[bjb]

Had it's moments - not bad. Feel like people who just completely don't 'get' this are big bang theory / how I met your mother fans.

 

[NathanMcMahon]

amazingly awesome

 

[newsguy]

Thankfully I have a sixth sense for comedy and immediately fast forwarded to the end as soon as I sensed wierd shit. Terrible.

 

[LongDongJunon]

Well that was a big ol' bag of family fun.

 

[Dereck]

Still don't think it was amazing. *shrug*

I don't think anyone is arguing that really.

 

[Barrage]

Really original and memorable. Cera's character was fascinating, with the weird vocal tics and ending sentences a letter (or word) short. I'm glad I watched it, and have no desire to see it again. It's going to be odd, recommending my friends to watch this, but specifically when im not there.

 

[AlexMeloche]

Damn, that was good.

 

[SapientWolf]

This reminds me of the depressing comic week of Cyanide and Happiness. It is the worst kind of funny there is.

 

[MrOogieBoogie]

Good fucking lord that girl is sexy. Who is she?

 

[Sanjuro]

Thought it was a nice short film.

 

[Sniper McBlaze]

I liked it. 'It smells like pee and soap.' So depressing.

 

[Robot Pants]

I lasted about 45 seconds. I can see where it's going. Ill probably go back to it and watch it all the way at some point

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

That's the one funny thing I've seen on comedy week. It was also a hugely depressing look into the marginalisation of the physically disabled and how that can have a hugely negative impact on their development as people. I thought it was a really good well acted short.

 

[superpickleman]

I think it'd be uncomfortable to watch this with most people because I got a good laugh out of parts I'm sure most others might not.

 

[Cameron122]

should have gave her the look

 

[-COOLIO-]

ya i didnt get it. i also didnt laugh if it was a comedy. but im all for trying new things.

 

[matthieuC]

I can't say I enjoyed that at all.

 

[Messofanego]

should have gave her the look

haha it's all in the eyes

 

[DoomGyver]

That's just sad.

 

[OrangeGrayBlue]

I liked it a lot. Obviously the "joke" is that it's not funny at all, but it was a masterstroke to throw in some odd statements by Cera's character that could initially be interpreted as a joke only to make the viewer ultimately feel bad for laughing.

 

[Boem]

Liked this a lot. Michael Cera often makes boring choices in which characters he plays in movies and he often plays pretty much the same character, but things like this show that he's actually quite a good actor. I can see why some people might not like it though.

 

[BossLackey]

I liked it

 

[Speevy]

.

We all dreamed this would happen to one of Michael Cera's characters one day.

Of course it was funny! It was so awkward you could only laugh about the whole thing. Saying that the joke is that it wasn't a joke is just wrong.

 

[fastford58]

I had to watch it a couple of times. I like it, but probably for the wrong reasons.

 

[Fudgepuppy]

It really sticks with you.

It would be nice to see Cera do more stuff like this, considering he does seem to have some talent.

 

[General_Zod]

The music made it intense, I watched it yesterday and the only thing I can really remember is the pee and soap and the music haha.

 

[GolazoDan]

I kinda liked it. It wasn't laugh out loud funny but dark comedy rarely does. There's a few amusing lines that come about in the especially awkward moments. It was more interesting than funny, I suppose.

I like Michael Cera, hope he gets a few more roles where he gets to show his acting chops because he's very good. Weird saying that because a few years ago when he was getting all those roles where he played exactly the same character (George Michael but not written by Mitch Hurwitz, basically) I couldn't really stand him.

 

[WordAssassin]

Good fucking lord that girl is sexy. Who is she?

AGREED

 

[kyoya]

I have to wonder if they might be shopping this short in an attempt to make it a full-length feature with Cera as the lead. I think the attempt at publicizing it as a comedy was intended to get more viewers and attention. Regardless, Cera really did a good job in this. It kind of reminded me of Gummo quite a bit.

 

[scar tissue]

I have a pretty fucked up sense of humor, and I didn't find this funny in the slightest.
From the beginning, you could see where this was going and it was played absolutely straight. Terrible.

Edit: Terrible as a comedy, that is.
