Judd Apatow and the death of comedy - Psynews.org
Posted 19 October 2009 - 01:47 PM
There's a new douche in town and is called Judd Apatow.
It's the guy who directed/written/produced the new trend of american comedies like The 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Superbad, Forgetting Sharah Marshall, Funny People etc.
Comedies about endless lame dick jokes, unfunny lines, boring scripts and the usual cast of THE worst comedians(?) ever.
I mean Seth Rogen , Jonah Hill , Bill Hader .
I mean seriously who laughs with these guys?
I watched yesterday Funny People and it was one fo the biggest craps I've ever watched!
Boring, tiresome and absolutely unfunny!
The worst thing is that the Apatow movies are all financially and critically successful.
One proof that critics are idiots.
The only movies he's been involved into that were funny are Anchorman and Zohan which were stupid, but at least funny.
Thank God thousands more of ppl out there feel the same with me, so there's hope.

I'm not saying they're pinnacles of clever script writing, but I find them funny.
I appreciate mindless entertainment as much as intelligent entertainment.
"Funny People" wasn't all that great though.
I don't even remember much about it.

Forgetting Sharah Marshall was one of the funniest movies I've seen lately.

I appreciate mindless entertainment more than anyone I know.
I've never cared about serious or unserious comedy.
For me it's just about the laughs.
But I've never laughed with any Apatow film except Anchorman and Zohan.

Zohan annoyed the crap out of me, even while I laughed at it.
At the end I felt dirty and ashamed for finding any of it funny.

I agree with the OP on this, now that I've seen Superbad on cable I can't understand why it was so popular.
But then, never overstimate the audience, Judd Apatow makes what the masses want to see.
He is the current studio darling.

Nah, c`mon Judd Apatow movies are a fun thing to watch.
I laughed my ass off to Superbad and this one movie with Katherine Heigl, where she got pregnant and stuff.
Though I havent watched the rest of his movies.
But I ahve to admit that Forgetting Sarah Marshall wasnt thaaaat funny.
It had some good laughs.
But Superbad for example was much better.
