Here’s the trailer to Role Models starring Paul Rudd and Stifler. It’s a comedy that has something to do with a couple of losers who get forced to spend time with kids. The trailer doesn’t come off as creepy as that reads.

What We Know:

• Paul Rudd is awesome.
• We could use a Minotaur and Vodka.
• We’d walk across the street to bang Elizabeth Banks.
• Stifler owns playing himself in movies.
• McLovin looks the part of a Larper.
• That Matchbox 20 song is catchy despite it being a song by Matchbox 20.

What We Can Guess:

• The black kid says a lot of hilarious quasi racist stuff.
• We won’t be sentenced to summer camp the next time we get community service.
• We’ll be saying, “She’s got some boobies on her,” more often going forward.

We’re kind of baffled by how much we want to see Tropic Thunder. From the first trailer we knew Robert Downey Jr. would bring the awesomeness, but all of a sudden — despite ludicrous levels of viral marketing — we’re starting to anticipate greatness all around.

This scene where RDJ (in black face) lectures Ben Stiller’s character about never going “full retard” has heightened our expectations even further.

Man, that was tremendous. We’re going to be so disappointed when we actually see this flick.

Every now and then an actor catches lightning in a bottle when portraying a pothead, capturing the hilarity of being constantly stoned while not coming off as an insufferable hippie. It’s an elite group who have pulled it off, an elite group the dude who starred in Flyboys AND Tristan + Isolde is attempting to join with his Pineapple Express performance. Can Franco make it happen? He just might. These guys did…

(Editor’s Note: We’re not ancient enough to appreciate Cheech and Chong and we refuse to recognize Sean Penn in a positive manner. Deal with it.)

Brad Pitt as Floyd in True Romance.

EVERYONE can identify with the burnout on the couch watching Freejack at 3PM on a Tuesday. Thank god David Fincher started casting Brad Pitt in his movies, otherwise Floyd’s minute and a half scene with Gandolfini could have been the pinnacle of Pitt’s career. “And they went…”

The Dude Who Played Slater in Dazed and Confused.

We’ll never understand why McConaughey gets all the dap for Dazed and Confused. The dude who played Slater is the one who brought the awesomeness. Who doesn’t know someone from high school who spent two years of their life trying to be Slater?

As far as we’re concerned Brendan Fraser is second only to Nic Cage in unintentional awesomeness. You could probably even argue that Fraser is more unintentionally awesome since he didn’t feel the need to go through that pompous “award winning” period of his career like Cage did. But, then again, Fraser’s hair doesn’t look like this now.

Semantics aside, we’ve forever wanted to put a piece together honoring Brendan Fraser’s contributions to cinema and with The Mummy: Tomb of Fraser’s 401k opening this weekend there’s no better time than now. Behold, The Many Acting Faces of Brendan Fraser (in semi-chronological order). GD this guy has range.

The Encino Man Face. After his brilliant performance in Encino Man it’s a minor miracle Fraser managed to avoid typecasting. You know his name had to come up for unfrozen caveman role after unfrozen caveman role. Pauly Shore and Sean Astin should be required to cut Fraser 10% of their career earnings.

The School Ties Face. If it’s been years since you’ve seen School Ties (or god forbid you’ve never seen it) we suggest you check out the trailer to refresh yourself on the film’s impact on Hollywood. School Ties A) launched like fifteen acting careers, B) is indirectly responsible for Good Will Hunting, C) revealed Matt Damon to be a racist, and D) established Brendan Fraser as the best Jewish athlete since Sandy Koufax. That, our friends, is epic.

Harold & Kumar 2 follows the cross country adventures of the pot-smoking duo as they attempt to outrun authorities who suspect them of being terrorists after they try to sneak a bong aboard their flight to Amsterdam. (It is pretty much down hill from there.)

This movie is so fucking stupid it is brilliant. Let me list the ways…

• It’s an inspiration to functioning potheads everywhere.

• It introduces a smokeless bong. I would pretty much empty my bank account for one of those.

• They invent awesome phrases like “cockmeat sandwich” that I will be using early and often.

• The Rob Corddry / Ed Helms combo is AWESOME.

• Gratuitous Doogie Houser MD shoutouts are the best.

This list could go one for miles and miles. And it will…

• Inbred farmers.

• A freaky cyclops

• DID I MENTION NPH taking shrooms and being kick ass?

• I don’t see how they could have worked in more nudity without being categorized as soft porn at Blockbuster.

Things I Thought While Watching H & K 2:

1) Neal Patrick Harris was the funniest person in Undercover Brother.

2) Denise Richards is soooo fucking hot.

3) Where the hell did Neve Campbell’s weird looking ass disappear to?

4) Why was she ever considered hot?

So apparently Pat Riley and Michael Douglas were on hand to non-ironically award the yellow jersey after one of the legs of the Tour de France the other day. This picture is beyond weird. And we have a lot of questions.

• How do Riley and Douglas know each other?
• Do old famous guys with good hair just end up being friends?
• Or is Douglas a massive fan of 80’s basketball?
• Or is Riley a massive fan of Gordon Gekko?
• Do they genuinely like the Tour de France?
• Or were they just yachting nearby and drunk enough to agree to do this?
• Did they at least work a “freedom fries” line into the ceremony?
• What was more laughable, the ‘07-’08 Heat or The Sentinel?
• Do they compliment each other on their hair or is it gay for two guys to do that?

Just so weird.

When we were digging for Will Ferrell videos a couple days ago we ran across this classic scene from Boogie Nights where Dirk and Reed Rothchild meet (first three minutes of the video).

After we rewatched the fake arm wrestling match about five times it dawned on us that John C. Reilly has always been awesome at comedy even though it seems like he’s just making the transition. He may be the real reason to see Step Brothers.

That’s it. All pretty much an elaborate excuse to post a video where two dudes countdown to blurting out how much they bench. If you see us this weekend telling someone we’re an expert diver don’t blow it for us. OK?

Journey + Brendan Fraser = Awesometown. Population: Us.

The movie is call Journey to the Center of the Earth, get it? JOURNEY.

Brendan Fraser is definitely our date to the next wedding we attend. Can’t wait to rock out with him to “Don’t Stop” during the reception.

As far as we’re concerned Will Ferrell’s legacy will be his contributions to our everyday vernacular. The guy has spent his career introducing line after line for dudes like us to recycle when the opportune time presents itself.

So with Step Brothers opening this week — and growing on us despite our current reservations with regards to Will’s overexposure — we decided to log our all-time favorite Will Ferrell lines. We’re pretty sure writers had nothing to do with these, the majority being ad-libbed.

The Ron Burgundy Lines

We’re certain Will made Anchorman solely to give a generation of young men a lifetime’s supply of reusable lines…

“I’m kind of a big deal. People know me.” - A little played in 2008, but there’s no denying the pure awesomeness. Best used on chicks in 2004, before they realized it was from a movie.

“A whale’s vagina.” - Classic response for when anyone asks what a foreign word or geographic name means.

“I love scotch. Scotchy, scotch, scotch.” - Best used after your first sip of scotch, if you rarely drink scotch.

“Agree to disagree.” (in Burgundy voice) - Last resort comment when losing an argument with your girlfriend.

We often learn about a certain actor signing on for a certain part and immediately decide it’s a bit of a stretch. Most of the time we’re right. But on occasion questionable castings turn out to be awesome. Here are eight examples of just that.

Matt Damon as Jason Bourne. In 2002 the majority of reactions to The Bourne Identity trailer were some version of, “Really? Matt Damon?” No one had an issue with Matt Damon the actor, but there were a lot of questions about Matt Damon the action star. Namely, could he kick our ass? Little did anyone know all three Bourne movies would rock our collective faces and make us totally forget The Talented Mr. Ripley ever happened.

Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man. Casting an aging drug addict who recently finished a stint on Ally McBeal as the billionaire womanizing superhero for a summer blockbuster seemed unorthodox even to us. But then RDJ brought the awesome and MADE Iron Man the movie that it is.
