Congratulations are in order this morning for Wayne McClammy, the first director ever to parlay a pair of unprintably named viral videos into a movie deal at a major studio. McClammy, whose Variety-redacted, Sarah Silverman-starring I'm Fucking Matt Damon and Jimmy Kimmel follow-up I'm Fucking Ben Affleck blew up earlier this year, was handed the reins for the Fox comedy Cool School, about "ad executives in their early thirties who are sent back to high school to learn how to be cool again." We'll reserve judgment for the time being — the script isn't even finished, and any way you slice it, it could be worse: At least Kevin Smith didn't wind up with a feature deal tied to that ill-advised Elizabeth Banks parody I'm Fucking Seth Rogen. What? He did? All right, well, no pressure, McClammy! No, literally — no pressure at all. [Variety]

@TheStarterWife: Or Never Been Kissed, but with less Drew Barrymore and more Justin Long.

Can you really call it that big of a break when the viral video in question has one of the biggest stars and one of the hottest "comidiennes" on the planet?
@TheStarterWife: with a touch of Never Been Kissed.

Wasn't this a plot line of either an episode of Friends or Just Shoot Me? Or maybe both?

I'm sorry, but nothing that combines Liz Banks with the concept of fucking can ever be considered misguided.

So, why don't they give Mike O'Connell a movie deal for What's it Gonna Be?

McClammy. Finally, an anti-McDreamy/Steamy!
Girl 1(whispers): Shake his hand.
Girl 2 (sotto voce): ewwww. No. He's all McClammy!

@A Pimp Named DaveR: This may be the only thing we ever agree on, Boston.
