Neil Patrick Harris Manages to Enliven the New Trailer for The F*cks

The central gag in The Fucks, which will arrive in theaters on July 29th, is that, instead of using Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, Cocksucker, Motherfucker, Tits, the adorable little blue people replace profanities with the word Sm*rf, which gets old about 12 seconds into the trailer. Because I hate the very idea of this, now and henceforth and until the end of time, I will personally reverse the joke. Profanities can continue to be replaced with the word Sm*rf whenever the film is referenced, but I will now refer to the blue people as The Fucks. La LA la La la Laaa.

Below is the new trailer for The Fucks, which stars Neil Patrick Harris and the kind-of-cute, kind-of-creepy ginger from “Glee.” The bad news is that it still looks excruciating. The good news is that, thanks to NPH, The Fucks looks only half as excruciating as previously anticipated. That is to say, where previously I’d have gnawed off both of my arms to escape watching The Fucks, now I’d only gnaw off one arm.

No, you know what? NPH doesn't get off free for this. Never. I will never forgive him. No free passes after you pull shit like this.

why is NPH in this thing? he can't need the money. as far as i can tell he can act too, he's likable as fuck. so why is he in such shitty movies?

i concur with Zach.

Never. I will never forgive him. No free passes after you pull shit like this.

This is now where you're drawing the line with him? I didn't realize that you were such a huge fan of NPH in Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore , figs.

Pretty bad when the joke is ripped off from Robot Chicken. Mothersmurfers

I think you're blinding yourself with your NPH love. He didn't lift that trailer up. It dragged him way down. Shame on everyone who has anything to do with this piece of crap.

Don't come cryin' to me, Harris lovers. Maybe this'll finally kill that fucker.

You know what happened? He had kids. People make stupid movies after they have kids.

I do NOT appreciate this trailer for the simple misuse of the verb "to smurf"; especially in the sentence "I think I just smurfed in my mouth". Traditionally, the verb "smurf" is used to replace a naughty piece of language. Last time I checked, 'vomit' or 'throw up' wren't naughty words. So, i inserted other words from my endless lexicon of dirty and came up with the following replacements:

He thinks he just shit in his mouth.
He thinks he just jizzed in his mouth.
He thinks he just came in his mouth.
He thinks he just munged in his mouth.
He thinks he just feltched in his mouth.
He thinks he just pissed in his mouth.
He thinks he just queefed in his mouth.

Any one of these would have been an appropriate use, but alludes to a completely different setting in which to utter the sentence which, in the end, I suppose, would have led to a more severe rating for the film, at least PG-13.

However, there are 2 instances when "smurf" does seem to be used precisely as intended.

"Where the smurf are we?" - 'smurf' meaning any number of wonderful words but most likely "fuck", a favorite amongst wordsmiths such as myself.

"Let's smurf this joint." - This is a slightly gray area to use the term, but, technically acceptable, in that the replaced word is a homonym for a word commonly used to describe oral sex on a man. And here, this could be the case, but ONLY if this scene's full contaxt is not presented and we just missed a gnarly scene of that smurfing smurf Smurfette getting gang smurfed by every smrufing dude in the smurfing building. But again...PG.

After analysis this hot steaming smurfing smurf of a smurf-fest isn't worth the day old dog smurf on the bottom on a pair of old smurf-smelling tennis shoes covered in a bum's smurf.

Of course it's in 3D. Of course.

Damn, NPH, W. T. F. ?

Regardless, I'd still smurf that.

Where the smurf....I mean Where the fuck is Jokey Smurf? His terrorist package bombs were the only thing I really enjoyed about the smurfs and now he's been left out of the movie!?! I hope to god he's joined an Al Qaeda cell or has gone all Unabomber and is planning to destroy any theater showing this travesty of a film with millions of tiny little presents!

I don't know about NPH, but John Oliver took a role in the Smurf movie so that he could make fun of it on his podcast.

Man, you've put WAY too much smurfing work into this usage issue.

Posted by: Uriah Creep at May 26, 2011 9:06 PM

I dont remember a Scottish Smurf

Despite NPH love, I am morally opposed to this movie!

Posted by: briar at May 26, 2011 10:28 PM

Wel, that leaves one arm to shoot yourself in the head..

I'm single so long now I want to have sex with the blue blonde.. Is that ok?

And I'm going to watch it for the cat.
I like cats.

Yes, I will see this. I loved the Smurfs growing up. I make no apologies

Posted by: Candy at May 27, 2011 12:08 PM

I doubt I'd even rent this, but Azaria looks amazing as Gargamel

Posted by: Protoguy at May 27, 2011 9:19 PM

Don't forget, Bill Murray did the same thing. I just try to clear my throat when people try to bring it up. I'll do the same for NPH as long as it's just this one time.

Latest headline: "July 10th, 2011 - Major earthquake strikes off the northern coast of Japan."
The hits just keep coming.
As more and more people cover every inch of landmass on the planet, major events will keep happening that put large populations at risk. People need to prepare now, before something happens, not after. It's obvious that it's only a matter of time before a minor or major disaster happens near me, or anyone else. It should be mandatory that each citizen is able to take care of their basic needs should all power, water, medical, and other services get interrupted for a length of time.
