Crack Up Over The 'This Is 40' Gag Reel!
by Shannon Keirnan
If the trailer for the “sort-of sequel” to “Knocked Up,” the Judd Apatow romp “This Is 40,” wasn’t funny enough to convince you to go see it, how about the gag reel?
Because no one’s life is complete until they see Paul Rudd with a leaking water bottle erection.
This ain’t your normal gag reel, with nothing but forgotten lines and laughter. These people are comedic gold, and judging from the three minutes you get to see, it would seem they spent the whole of shooting trying to crack each other up.
Watch the hilarious Melissa MCcarthy scream at Paul Rudd that her nipples are “incredibly sensitive and high!”
Apatow manages to crack up Greenday frontman Billie Joe Armstrong by yelling out extra lines for him to say, catching him with, “It’s hard to stay angry when you’re this rich.”
Possibly the best? Jason Segel locked into a compromising position with the director’s wife, while yelling, “Do it! Everything you need is inside of you! C’mon, Segel. This is what you do!”
Bonus, if you didn’t feel like going to see the movie, you still get this opportunity to watch Leslie Mann fondle Megan Fox’s breasts in a bouncy bra, while she jes, “I would put floodlights on them” and forces a surprised laugh out of her co-star. It’s actually a nice break to see Megan Fox smile over a joke. She seems a little more “normal person,” a little less… “hates everyone.”
Directed by Judd Apatow, “This Is 40” stars Paul Rudd, Leslie Mann, Jason Segel, Megan Fox, and everyone else funny you can think of. It is currently in theaters.
