      • solittledeserve, on 04/22/2008, -2/+3freaks and geeks.
        • SteveIsTheDude, on 04/22/2008, -2/+1Yeah, that show too....
          • kidcodea, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1lol sorry bout that slipup, i meant freaks and geeks.
  • mushtakrakish, on 04/22/2008, -21/+1sounds about right. i hate the guy in forgetting sarah marshall who plays marshall in how i met your mother.
    • mcnasby, on 04/22/2008, -1/+8His name is Jason Segal and don't worry - he hates you too.
      • mushtakrakish, on 04/24/2008, -0/+0yeah, he's a pretty bad actor, you're right.
  • duggtodeath, on 04/22/2008, -7/+38This ***** has been associated with 13 projects in the last 3 ***** years! How the *****?
    • chris9902, on 04/22/2008, -9/+2He's the new Will Farrell
      • smacksaw, on 04/22/2008, -3/+13Now now...we don't need to bring Will Ferrell into this.
    • exscind, on 04/22/2008, -0/+12Most of those are mere producer credits. When you look at which he actually had a hand in writing or directing, it shrinks down to a handful of the better ones.
    • ChairShot83, on 04/22/2008, -2/+8From the guy who knew a guy that talked to the father of the guy who made 'Knocked Up'.
      • poppacherry, on 04/23/2008, -1/+2WHO WERE THEN ALL ABORTED! SO WHAT>!>!@>!>
    • AmnioticEntity, on 04/22/2008, -8/+3before this digg i didn't know his name, didn't need to...now i do, and i feel that this trend of "bad press" for ***** directors on digg really needs to stop - any news is good news for these goons. and if you feel the same way as me , do yourself a favor - don't even pirate their movies, don't talk about them, if someone brings them up, change the subject. (pretend) boll and apatow do not exist, for the sake of the children.
    • poppacherry, on 04/23/2008, -4/+1DEAR GD ITS THE JEWS! WHILE WE SIT HERE ON OUR LAZY ASSES TRYINBE TO FIGUREE OUT WHT THR ***** IS UP, ITS ALL ABOUR SP-ORTIN DA JUEW FROAND YOUR DESIRE TO MAKE MONEY IN THE ENTETAINMENT INDUSTRYTHE JEWS SNEAK BY OUR LAZYNESS FROM POSTING DIGG COMMENTS. HES ALRREADY ON HUS WAY TO MEET UP WITH SOME MORE JEWS AND DISCUSS HHIWS THEYRE GOING TO MAKE US CONSUMNERS BUY AND LAUGH HGAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAAAAASAAJASHAAHAAJAAJA
      • AmnioticEntity, on 05/01/2008, -0/+1jews? seriously? who the ***** cares about religion anymore? i've never in my life met a true believer of any one particular god.
  • SlickRicketts, on 04/22/2008, -6/+1Let's make an Apatow spoof for our next Those Aren't Muskets sketch.
  • yourmalarky, on 04/22/2008, -22/+34Buried for inaccuracy. Judd Apatow and associates are the next great source of american comedies. Old school vets have since departed to do things like balls of fury, and semi-pro. And god knows the scary movie crew sucks.
    • JLecker, on 04/22/2008, -4/+12Balls of Fury was mediocre and Semi-Pro was, from what I've heard, pretty lackluster as well. Apatow and Co. are great at making sex, dick, and pot jokes, but their movies aren't exactly high-brow humor. I liked The 40 Year-Old Virgin fine, but I'm not going to claim that Judd Apatow is the "savior of American comedic cinema" or anything like that.
      • Dexists, on 04/22/2008, -4/+8Superbad?
        • asdfrewq, on 04/22/2008, -3/+11Superbad was pretty much two and a half hours of dick jokes.

          I, for one, loved it.
        • Ledbelly, on 04/22/2008, -2/+3Judd Apatow had very little to do with Superbad fyi.
        • sjaskow, on 04/22/2008, -6/+4My biggest issue with Superbad was it's a teen sex comedy with 0 female nudity. How the hell did that happen! Maybe I'm old but when I think teen sex comedy, I think "Porky's" or "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" where's the at least _some_ nudity.
      • Chompy, on 04/22/2008, -1/+9Apatow is about as highbrow as you're going to get in "American comedic cinema" these days. It's either him or Meet the Spartans II - VII.

        Iknow which one I choose.
        • SilentRamble42, on 04/22/2008, -6/+1I choose Mom and Dad Save the World over this guy.
    • aceakm, on 04/22/2008, -1/+1Apatow does great things, and I only see the comedies I think will be good (Walk Hard was too cheesy for me, Drillbit was too PG13 for me)
    • jf518, on 04/23/2008, -0/+1i don't think you can bury a comedic opinion blog for inaccuracy...that just doesn't make sense
  • sandog08, on 04/22/2008, -7/+0I'm so sick of carrying you and TAM!, Swaim. quit relying on me to promote your awesome group.
  • domdunc, on 04/22/2008, -7/+39I have yet to be disappointed by an Apatow comedy (bear in mind I haven't seen Drillbit Taylor) so for now I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt.
    • kylere, on 04/22/2008, -0/+9Make sure you do not see Drillbit!
    • Maver1c, on 04/22/2008, -0/+7The Author of the article also posted this in the comments section:

      I’m going to say this only once, so that it’s on record, and not bother responding to any idiots who comment on here with various wry death threats against me.

      I really like Judd Apatow, and I really like judd Apatow movies. You can still bag on someone you like. It’s called familial interdynamics. But, yeah, for the record, all those movies are hilarious. I can damn sure still write a post mocking their minor perceivable flaws.


      Looks like the person all these Digg apatow-haters are praising actually likes Judd Apatow movies.
  • thedragon4453, on 04/22/2008, -5/+120Cracked.com, making you hate things you loved a week ago because now its too popular.
  • TEHxINTERWEBS, on 04/22/2008, -12/+4Soo true...
  • missmorgie, on 04/22/2008, -7/+20ITT: Digg users are gay for Cracked.
  • gelato822, on 04/22/2008, -14/+5chicka chicka yeah
    • Velvolver, on 04/29/2008, -0/+1What does that mean? Is that an obscure reference or a misspelled one? I don't get it. If you want to type dumb ***** then just open up note pad.
  • maybach, on 04/22/2008, -5/+19Don't forget to paint all men as useless, sex-obsessed, dribbling, porn-worshiping idiot monkeys.
  • ChairShot83, on 04/22/2008, -8/+11Heavyweights is still my top Apatow flick.

    /Perkisize
  • scottnash, on 04/22/2008, -8/+11And don't forget to make ALL your male characters just kids in men's bodies. Oh, and the women should all be slightly shrewish, slightly uptight women who will date any guy, no matter how ugly or immature.
  • babylonian, on 04/22/2008, -2/+14Come on, he deserves a bit more credit than that. There also has to be the word "penis" in every other scene. That's not easy to do!
  • bicyclethief, on 04/22/2008, -6/+14cracked.com: How to write worthless articles and lists.
    • Velvolver, on 04/29/2008, -0/+1Or how to keep the laughs coming every article, unlike those movies he was talking about.
  • indigit4l, on 04/22/2008, -11/+15Author is a jealous bastard
    • Velvolver, on 04/29/2008, -0/+1No, maybe just pissed cause someone can make cookie cutter movies without any real talent and make a ***** load of cash from it.
  • schizogony, on 04/22/2008, -5/+17I miss the Naked Gun movies.


    Now THOSE were comedy gold.
    • deaftly, on 04/22/2008, -1/+2Jim Abrahams and David Zucker should be in charge of hollywood.

  • BrokenVisage, on 04/22/2008, -9/+4How do people like this guys movies?
    • TomRemixed, on 04/22/2008, -2/+3Is that really your own opinion or are now trying to be the cool guy that doesn't like popular things?
    • Synn, on 04/22/2008, -0/+3Well you see...they have this thing called a sense of humor. You should look into getting one.
  • ajpalma, on 04/22/2008, -2/+11You forgot the part where he puts his wife (Leslie Mann) in every supporting actress role in ALL his movies
    • Witchbaby, on 04/22/2008, -1/+1...how conveeenient.
    • betacmag4u, on 04/22/2008, -1/+1He is just trying to save a few bucks on production.....she works free right?

    • Maver1c, on 04/22/2008, -1/+2she's also a pretty good actress..
  • Chompy, on 04/22/2008, -0/+2That's four steps.
  • shauncorleone, on 04/22/2008, -9/+31How to Make Your Own Popular Cracked.com List in 3 Easy Steps:
    1. Find a topic to rip into, generally something enjoyed by males 18-34 (ex: "Top 10 reasons to hate modern videogames"). Note: the more popular the topic, the better.
    2. Ask an 11 year old special ed child for a list of things they hate about said topic, generally 5,7,10 or 12 items long.
    3. Submit to Digg.
    • jglaser, on 04/22/2008, -0/+42.5. Make it into a list spread across 2 pages.

    • Maver1c, on 04/22/2008, -1/+1God I loved that show when it was on tv. Too bad it didn't make it through the first season.
    • j5r5myk, on 05/03/2008, -0/+1Greatest show of all time.
  • hellotherapist, on 04/22/2008, -7/+10I've only ever mildly enjoyed his comedies, they're so overrated.
    "McLovin'" was only funny for like a minute, it makes me mad seeing it on t-shirts.
    • Mookeh, on 04/22/2008, -1/+2I meant to dig you down because I own one of those shirts and you're making me feel bad about myself. Then I hit the wrong button. Instant karma. :(
      • hellotherapist, on 04/22/2008, -0/+1LOL sorry dude. Didn't mean a personal attack on anyone, but you see where I'm coming from.
    • NOFXY, on 04/22/2008, -2/+2to be honest, the first time i saw that movie i thought it was mildly amusing. i watched it a second time though and i thought it was the funniest ***** i had seen in a while. i'm weird.
    • Maver1c, on 04/22/2008, -2/+1There are much, much funnier things in Apatow produced projects than the McLovin joke, it's a shame that that joke had to become so popular.
    • Oea420, on 04/22/2008, -1/+2McLovin was okay.... but hahahah

      In superbad when dude is running from the cops... winds up in some little kids sleep over tent outside (falling into it..) and their dad comes out...

      Throws a ***** baseball bat at him.. "WHAT THE *****??"

      Lord I almost died laughing at that part, hah

  • thaddeusmaximus, on 09/01/2008, -0/+1He's just not funny to me. I can feel him trying to appeal to my baser, more retarded instincts, and I don't like it. I'm trying to figure out how to evolve as a human being and this guy keeps trying to drag me back into the stone age. No thanks.
