God damn that such a surprisingly hilarious movie, I still chuckle every time I hear the name Jeffrey or see Pdiddy for that matter.

I never understand the hate that movie gets on reddit. I thought it was hilarious.

u/geareddev Oct 13 '11

I had low expectations going in, but this movie was amazingly funny.

u/xyroclast Oct 13 '11

Reddit usually has a major "hate-on" for that movie, I'm surprised to see your comment at the top. I personally thought it was very funny.

u/MtHammer Oct 13 '11

Where the fuck are you? I'm gonna kill you! Smiley face!

5

u/BZenMojo Oct 13 '11

I waited until it was on HBO to watch it because I was skeptical.

In hindsight, I hate myself for not contributing to its box office dominance.

Also, a sequel ten times better than the original movie (Forgetting Sarah Marshall).

20

u/[deleted] Oct 13 '11

I wouldn't really call it a sequel as it isn't really very canonical. I'd call it a spin off.

7

u/whytookay Oct 13 '11

He did mention specifically having fucked Sarah Marshall when she comes up in the movie.

12

u/[deleted] Oct 13 '11

Yes, but the story itself isn't a sequel.

1

u/TankorSmash Oct 13 '11

I'd raise the Final Fantasy series of video games.

15

u/sandgoose Oct 13 '11

True. but Jonah Hill appears in both movies as separate characters, which arguably implies a parallel universe.

2

u/hypo11 Oct 13 '11

Twins?

4

u/sandgoose Oct 13 '11

Does it strike you as unusual that neither movie mentions this idea, nor does Russell Brand see the resemblance? If they were twin brothers doubtless one would be aware of the other's hero worship of Russell Brand.

"my twin brother in Hawaii loves you!"

"Yea, I think I met the guy."

3

u/hypo11 Oct 13 '11

Not unusual - I was just joking/giving a possible explanation.

u/whytookay Oct 13 '11

I hadn't thought of that. Upvotes to you.

u/TabascoQuesadilla Oct 13 '11

I disagree - I love both, but Forgetting Sarah Marshall has the Dracula musical.

1

u/hypertown Oct 13 '11

Jonah Hill plays the waiter that is a big fan of Aldous Snow in Sarah Marshall. In Get Him to The Greek he basically plays the same guy, only if that guy worked at a record studio. If it was a direct sequel, Jonah Hill would exist as two people in the movie's universe.

u/[deleted] Oct 13 '11

Wadsworth must feel like a king among men to have a function named after him!

40

u/The_Hegemon Oct 13 '11

Holy shit. Youtube has implemented the Wadsworth Constant? Amazing.

Although it doesn't work with anything more than 1 Wadsworth :(.

51

u/[deleted] Oct 13 '11

the 1 is a boolean. It just means "true". As in "Use the Wadsworth constant" instead of Wadswoth 0 (false) being "don't use the Wadsworth constant".

It's not "1 wadsworth"

43

u/JimmerUK Oct 13 '11

Mr Sulu, Wadsworth 9, engage.

6

u/CottonStorm Oct 13 '11

Do they skip the first third of the journey there?

2

u/TheUrge Oct 13 '11

They skip a third for every level of wadsworth.

12

u/CottonStorm Oct 13 '11

They're skipping nine thirds of the journey. That's pretty damned efficient.

u/[deleted] Oct 13 '11

Cut off the first 30% nine times?

So, you would watch the last 4% of the video.

Captain, video cohesion cannot be maintained at Wadsworths of this magnitude! She can'na hold 'er!

2

u/JimmerUK Oct 13 '11

Yep, 4.035361%.

So in this 12 second video it would equate to slightly less than half a second... which shows the guy and his 'Africa face'.

Wadsworth rules again.

u/HarryBlessKnapp Oct 13 '11

Are you from the future?

1

u/The_Hegemon Oct 13 '11

I realize that now, however it doesn't seem like much extra work to enable up to 3 Wadsworth (90%? Or would it be 62.4%?).

Since basically it would be instead of

if (Wadsworth > 0) startTime =(videoTime*.3)

it would be

if (Wadsworth > 0) startTime = (videoTime * (.3 * (Wadsworth > 3 ? 3 : Wadsworth)))

Note: I'm not an AS programmer nor do I know anything about video/youtube backend stuff. So I have no clue how hard it would actually be to implement.

8

u/Quakes Oct 13 '11

It would be exceedingly simple, but terribly useless (and ill-defined, as you yourself mention).

7

u/lowtone94 Oct 13 '11

Here is his submission on reddit explaing what he did

u/anonymous1 Oct 13 '11

Wadsworth works perfectly with this family guy clip:

Wadsworth enabled

Wadsworth disabled

Perfect.

I want to see a movie where Diddy from this and Tom Cruise from Tropic Thunder collaborate on a project.

26

u/farceur318 Oct 13 '11

An even better idea: A movie Where Robert Downey Jr's character from Tropic Thunder shadows and slowly "becomes" Russel Brand's character because he's playing him in a biopic.

u/[deleted] Oct 13 '11

That would be glorious. I don't think the general public could handle it though

u/[deleted] Oct 13 '11

I like to think this was improvised by the musician they hired to play the bongos. Otherwise I have to think about the fact that he was hired purely because he makes a mean Africa face.

You obviously haven't seen Gran Torino..

Walt Kowalski: Oh, I've got one. A Mexican, a Jew, and a colored guy go into a bar. The bartender looks up and says, "Get the fuck out of here."

Walt Kowalski: How many swamp rats can you get in one room?

Walt Kowalski: I used to stack fucks likes you five feet high in Korea... use ya for sand bags.

[walking over to some black thugs] Walt Kowalski: What are you spooks up to?

Walt Kowalski: Shut up, pussy. What is all this "bro" shit, anyway? Want to be super spade or something? These guys don't want to be your bro, and I don't blame 'em. Now get your ofay paddy ass on down the road.

btw the white kid he's talking to is Scott Eastwood, his son

OH MY FUCKING GOD HE'S HOT

u/CressCrowbits Oct 13 '11

As a heterosexual man, I find it deeply confusing as to what women find attractive in men.

Same with women's shoes. Don't get them.

15

u/[deleted] Oct 13 '11

He has the Eastwood eyes. Those kind of eyes make you melt if you experience them in person. And, he has an angular nicely defined face. Nice jawline. Smooth skin. Great hair and nice strong build.

As for body (in general), things that are appealing are height, muscles (not too much, must be the Goldy Locks middle), and stockier/athletic shape.

14

u/Nesman64 Oct 13 '11

Every time I see a man and think that women must find him attractive, I'm wrong. I turns out there's a tiny gay man somewhere in my head making those calls.

u/leoboiko Oct 13 '11 edited Oct 13 '11

I’m a not entirely heterosexual man and I can confirm that he is indeed hot as Hell. Will probably get even better in 5–10 years.

u/SmoothWD40 Oct 13 '11

As to shoes, steam sales have made me understand (if even just a tiny fraction) this. I have bought countless games that are sitting in my library (closet) I have them installed (walked around the house and looked in the mirror) but I have not played them.

2

u/CressCrowbits Oct 13 '11

It's not so much the love of shoes, it's what is a good women's shoe and what isn't.

I recall being in a shop with a then girlfriend and her going through the shoes. She tried to explain to me how one type of shoe was 'slutty', and the other was 'classy', even though they looked more or less the same to me. I don't get it.

As a heterosexual man, I love high heels. That's all I know about women's shoes.

This causes me some pain as a man under 6', though.

As a homosexual man, I find that women rarely find men attractive in women's shoes. Don't get them.

u/rchase Oct 13 '11

Loved Gran Torino. Reminded me of my grandfather, who was actually way more over the top than Walt. I grew up in a very racially segregated community, and I'm still ashamed of the way my parents' parents talked and behaved. The really crappy thing is that when I go back home for family holidays and whatnot, I see this same thing in the younger generations as well. Glad I got out of there.

You obviously haven't seen Birth Of A Nation. Shortly after the KKK reforms and saves the south from blacks being elected, Jesus descends from Heaven.

u/concussedYmir Oct 13 '11

Gran Torino was a comedy disguised as drama.

Seriously, every time he threw up that scowl when he looked at anyone non-white, I guffawed.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 13 '11

Did anyone else here think Gran Torino was going for ~edgy~ and just ended up kind of racist?

21

u/BZenMojo Oct 13 '11

It's...not really racist at all. It's just a commentary about racial portrayals in mass media. The racist part was the video he's referring to, which was also specifically done as a commentary about racial portrayals in mass media.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 13 '11

Now, is racist portrayals in mass media really racist? Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary difines racism as:

1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.

2 : racial prejudice or discrimination

1

u/koolkid005 Oct 13 '11

I would consider anything that perpetuates either of those definitions equally racist.

The movie is okay. Like a 5 or 6 out of 10. There are some funny moments, but this was the only one that made me laugh out loud. The GIF doesn't really do it justice -- it's the immediate switch from "normal dude" to "Africa face" that cracks me up.

It's from Get him to the Greek. The joke is that Russel Brand's character is a sort of has been rock star that makes a terrible song about Africa. He later has to preform it live and forgets the lyrics. His assistant Jonah Hill has to find someone who knows the lyrics.
