Falling to My Death Dressed as Abe Lincoln with a Huge Purple Dildo

I'll Use the Dildo to Cushion My Fall / Dustin Rowles

Trade News | August 10, 2009 | Comments (17)

I’m still not completely sold on The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard, the Jeremy Piven ensemble comedy about car salesman coming out on Friday. But a few clips from the movie have at least ratcheted up my enthusiasm level, and I have to admit a certain fondness for much of the cast (Jeremy Piven, Ed Helms, David Koechner, Tony Hale, Rob Riggle, Craig Robinson, and Ving Rhames) and a boat load of cameos. (Has anyone ever considered what would happen to the space/time continuum if Ving Rhames and Michael Clarke Duncan appeared in the same film? That’s some “Torchwood” shit right there.)

The clip below explains the death of McDermot (Will Ferrell), who fell to his death from a plane with a pack full of dildos. I actually prefer Ferrell in cameo roles (he’s also a producer on The Goods). He was as good as he was on “SNL” because he’s perfect in small doses (which is why his best films are the ones where he’s part of an ensemble, and not the whole goddamn movie). Unfortunately, I’m guessing this is the extent of his screen time in The Goods, so the Ferrell draw alone is not enough to get my ass in the theater seat (Ed Helms, however, may be).

Anyway, here’s Will Ferrell. Dressed as Abe Lincoln. And a whole lot of dildos (dildoes?). Does this sell anyone on the movie?

Nope. But then again, I wasn't going to see it anyway. Anything our office intern is excited about, I run away screaming from.

While I refuse to see this movie, on the grounds that it contains large quantities of Jeremy Piven (Four out of Five doctors agree: Jeremy Piven will turn you into a fucking douchebag! It's too late for the fifth doctor), I kinda enjoyed that clip, if only because it contained Will Ferrel doing something ACTUALLY funny.

Dildos do nothing for me, but at least this is a spoof comedy, though I am sure its family tree is connected to the underated Used Cars. While most hate Piven, I still sort of like his smart ass shtick, and considering I have not seen Entourage, I have not had my fill of him.

The bad thing will be the spoof comedies that follow this and I feel as though Ferrell will spoof himself, spoofing himself.

I give you one better, toss James Earl Jones in there, and you get the "Black Man With Scary Deep Voices" version of The Three Doctors.

I could only watch about 1/2 of that clip. It just wasn't funny. But at least they got the physics right. Everything falls at the same speed no matter what their weight is.

My professor husband has students who swear that heavier objects will hit the ground before lighter ones. And when he proves that different weight objects hit the ground at the same time over and over again, the students still refuse to believe their eyes.

Mmmmmm… nope.

BWeaves, I feel sorry for the stupidity your husband must encounter on a daily basis.

10% real fruit juice, motherfuckers....I'm in.

Dildos do nothing for me

Then I don't think you're using them right.

Everything falls with the same acceleration, but only in a vacuum. Mass to frontal area ratio and, to a lesser degree, coefficient of friction come into play when there's air involved.

The clips I've seen actually seem fairly funny. The Kathryn Hahn clip made me laugh a bit, and I love Ken Jeong in just about anything.

Didn't I see this in 1980 with Kurt Russell?

Posted by: krix at August 10, 2009 11:22 AM

Eep, yes, you're right. But we're not talking feathers vs. bowling balls here. We're talking Farrell vs. dildos. They should hit the ground at the same time.

Hahahahaa, touché, bweaves, touché ;-)

Posted by: Eep at August 10, 2009 11:32 AM

Well, since I've now seen the dildo-parachute bit, I don't have any reason to see the movie. Besides, all the funny parts will end up on YouTube anyway, so why bother.

I can just listen to the meat heads around the office quoting and guffawing over the movie when it hits theaters. It's like I'm really there!

How do you defend yourself against a man with a pack full of dildos?

Posted by: Abe Froman at August 10, 2009 1:50 PM

While I adore Ed Helms, my hatred for Piven completely obscures any trace of interest I might have in this movie. I really, truly, seriously and wholeheartedly just want to kick that man in the balls.

What was the budget on this thing? 'Bout 9 bucks?

Posted by: Sarz at August 10, 2009 8:33 PM

I am so glad I'm not alone in my hatred of Jeremy Piven.
