Start Doing Stand Up Now Before Funny People Comes Out

Judd Apatow ’s latest film, Funny People , starring Adam Sandler and Seth Rogan is sure to be another successful blend of comedy and drama that unfunny people will be quoting throughout the next three years. The film releases nationwide July 31st, so if you ever had any yearning to perform a stand up comedy routine, I suggest you do it before then.  Nothing is more sad, more embarrassing, more pathetic than the guy who starts a hobby right after a mainstream film is released on the subject.

If you don’t get to an open mic before this film comes out, you’ll be like the guy who bought a snare drum and joined the school band after watching Drumline .  Or the guy who bought a Honda Civic and started to add aftermarket parts after seeing The Fast and the Furious .  Or the guy who took up archaeology and got his PhD after seeing Raiders of the Lost Ark .  Or the guy who started playing poker and dealing from the bottom of the deck after seeing Rounders .  Or the guy who started freestyle rapping and wearing beanies after seeing 8 Mile .  Or the guy who bought a motorcycle and started doing drugs after seeing Easy Rider .  Or the guy who took a dance class and gathered a crew of his friends after watching Stomp the Yard .  Or the guy who started hacking computers and wearing trench coats after seeing The Matrix .  Or the guy who joined the Navy and bought aviator sunglasses after seeing Top Gun .  Or the guy who started working out and taking karate lessons after watching Never Back Down. Or the guy who started trading stocks and acting like a dick after watching Wall Street .  Or the guy who bought a surfboard and started to deliver lines with no emotion after seeing Point Break .  Or the guy who started doing steroids and neglecting his daughter after watching The Wrestler .  Or the guy who started hunting deer with his friends, went to Vietnam, hooked up with his friend’s girlfriend, started playing Russian roulette, and became disenchanted with life after watching The Deer Hunter .
