'Superbad' To Receive Extremely Lame Parody Treatment From The Dudes Who Make Those Extremely Lame Movie Parodies
Posted by Defamer Hollywood at 6:55 AM on April 4, 2008
These are special times, people. You can take Airplane and Top Secret and shove 'em up your arse, because the golden age of the spoof film is happening right now. Superhero Movie is capturing the hearts and minds of the people at multiplexes nationwide. Before that, Meet the Spartans and Epic Movie set the world alight with laughter for months upon months. And now, the brain trust behind those two masterpieces, Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, have decided to leave the ancient world behind and parody something much more formidable: Superbad.
That's right, a comedic spoof of an already comedic movie. "Why would something like that be necessary?" you might ask. That's like asking a mountain climber why he wants to scale Everest. Because it's there. Now stop asking questions.
The parody will be called Goodie Two Shoes and it will follow a "group of friends who go on a life-changing adventure." Surely along the way they will encounter lots of fart jokes and pop culture references that already feel dated. And, guess what? The casting call says the movie is searching for look-a-likes to play Flava Flav, Dr. Phil, Paris Hilton, and Michael Jackson. So, if you resemble one of them, give your agent a saidrj%hfn#kasld@nf;lkaks— Oh, sorry! We were getting lightheaded just imagining all the hillarious hijinx Goodie Two Shoes will have in store and our head hit the keyboard.

I'm really in two minds about whether to blame these guys or not.
I mean if you were a talentless nobody with no artistic aspirations whatsoever and someone ofered you a shitload of money to repeatedly make films on the condition that they be terrible - what would you do?
Society is at fault. Society. ...Just like with the Germans.

@metroville: Of course, I bet that they both pass themselves off as ultra-intelligent and sophisticated, throw wine-tasting parties, and attend avant garde plays with their friends -- and if anyone politely asks about the movies they make, they just shrug and say something existential about the realities of the business.

Given their level of comedic instinct and storytelling ability, Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer should work exclusively in hard-core pornography. Aren't a lot of those "film"-makers sociopaths?

Hey, wow, Dr. Phil, how very topical.

This is pretty unnecessary since the Apatow bunch has already started parodying themselves.

@Benny: They're pushing the gas chamber levers on culture so that we don't have to.

This idea was much better the first time around...when it was "Not Another Teen Movie."

How about this?
A heart warming drama about the cast and crew of a parody movie?
Their loves, their tears. The stress and devotion involved with such techniques as "falling out of frame" and "making a funny face while farting".
I already have Carmen Electra signed!

How's this: on the commentary track for Superbad, the gang wonders aloud if they'll be the subject of one of those '______ Movie' movies if Superbad is successful. Jesus.
