Funny People: George Simmons' Career

Notice anything similar to RocketMan ? Man, that was a bad movie and even Harland Williams bashes it

Funny People (movies within the movie)

At first, I wasn't too warm to Apatow's Funny People, then Slash Film released some of the spoof videos focused on the character of George Simmons (Adam Sandler). It looks like Judd is making fun of all those 'Family Friendly' movies that clogged up the theaters. While some of the spoof movies are making fun of Sandler's career, it is very clear that some of them are jabs at Eddie Murphy.

Make sure to click on the link above to watch some of the movies.

It is just crazy that the fake movies that are mentioned here are pretty damn close to real movies or concepts I'm sure are being thrown around today.

George Simmons, the fictional character, has his own viral web site. Looking at it, it is funny seeing them taking jabs at Sandler's career.

Check out his albums and the track listings. There is a bit of Dane Cook thrown in for good measure too with the album art, but some it is clearly making fun of Sandler's albums too.

This is probably one of the better viral marketing campaigns I've seen.

The clip below could have very well been an Adam Sandler movie!

Sayonara Davey

((Sayonara Davey! (2007) Davey refuses to grow up. He takes a job at his alma mater just so he can party, but when a paperwork mix up sends him to Japan as a foreign exchange student, his host family spoils all his fun. Mr. Ashito is determined to turn Davey around but is surprised when Davey teaches them a few lessons himself. ))

Sadly, this could actually be green-lit in real life. You better believe it would be a huge hit too.
