Funny People

usually like to deride others, but sometimes it can be funny to see people in public.

It is a new blog where you can post those people who seem to not care what the world thinks of them. There is actually a guy with implants on the site, yes you read that right, a dude with boobs. Classy with a K. Looks like this guy was planning on hiding in the woods after he robbed the bank.

"Funny People" is the story of a famous comedian having a life crisis. Basically, George Simmons finds out he is ill and then wonders what the hell he did with his life. Was it all worth it? In order to make this character feel real we had to create the story of his career. In order to do this we combined real clips from Adam [Sandler]’s early stand-up days, some very old home videos of him and a bunch of fake movie clips which we created.


THE GENERAL IDEA

The synopsis for Funny People reads something like this: “George Simmons (Adam Sandler) is a very successful yet self-involved stand-up comedian who learns that he has an incurable blood disorder and is given less than a year to live. Ira Wright (Weiner is his actual last name) (Seth Rogen) is a struggling up-and-coming stand-up comedian who works at a deli and has yet to figure out his onstage persona. One thing these different men have in common is that neither of them have any close friends. One night, George takes notice of Ira when they perform at the same club and he hires him to be his semi-personal assistant and opening act at his performances. George and Ira form a close bond as George teaches Ira how to win the crowd and Ira helps the dying George find closure in his legacy. However, when George learns that his disease has gone into remission and an old flame (Leslie Mann) reenters his life, his recent near death experience inspires him to reevaluate what is important to him and what truly gives meaning to his life.”
