Reviews: "Your Highness" and "The Simpsons XXX Parody"
First up, the new James Franco/Danny McBride flick.
Then, XXX parody of "The Simpsons." Because why not.

I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed Your Highness Brad. I felt the exact same way you did about the movie. I wasn't looking forward to it at all and I came out loving it. The minotaur penis part was one of my favorite gags as well. Plus a lot of the dialog caught me off guard and made me laugh. Like the stuff Natalie Portman would say.
Also, I have to say I was really surprised to see them use actual puppets and practical effects for this movie.The "Wise Wizard" character for example looked like something out of Dark Crystal.

I agree! That made me very happy!

I laughed way too hard when you mentioned the scene with Flanders.

You should totally check out The Ten, where Justin Theroux plays Jesus.
But yeah, I'm sick of these porn non-titles too. My biggest pet peeve is where they just take the title of something and add "Not" at the beginning. Yeah, I do that for comedic effect sometimes but when there's a whole porn video line that does this, it just screams laziness.
Take pride in your porn, people!

Porn title in 5 seconds: "The Pimpsons". See? Wasn't that tough. Why can't -professionals- do that?

-That's all well and good, BUT was Moe's Asian girlfriend painted yellow as well?
To quote from Chappelle's Show: "Ohhh, this racism is killing me inside!"
Wait- was it supposed to be Cookie Kwan? She does own the West Side...
Reply to this
Yes... Yes, she is painted yellow.

Yup, it is on youtube.

Brad, on Your Highness, I am with you 100 percent. I expected something bad, and I got exactly what I wanted: Danny McBride doing his thing except in Lord of the Rings. Was it fabulous? No. But it was a thousand times better than I ever expected. Why are people being so hard on it? I don't know. If you like Eastbound and Down, there's not really a reason to dislike Your Highness.

Damn Brad, you do a great Homer and Flanders impression.

I prefer the not so porn parody titles and keeping of the actual names of the characters. Completely overhauling the characters names completely throws me out of the experience as far as I'm concerned.

Brad,
I must disagree with you. S minutes of parody is far too much for porn. Your talking about waiting-for-porno-to happen-minutes,
and next to standing-at-an-ATM-behind-a-fat-slow person-minutes, they're slowest minutes there is.
Anyway good reviews and I thought your highness was going to stink. But it's funny.

You said the "six fucking minutes" would make a good YouTube video. Don't you mean the "six non-fucking minutes"?
I know. That was bad. I will leave now.

Do you know that the same creators of "Las Tortugas Pinjas" did a porn version of The Simpsons back in the day right?.. They also did a porn version of The Flinstones...

Marge eats Homer's creme filled. It took me like, 8 minutes to come up with those. These fuckers could have at least tried.

I love vulgar comedies, so I will watch this.

Simpsons Porno Parody; 5% plot, 95% padding.

I went and saw the Arthur remake, which I thought was just as funny as you said about Your Highness. I was never a fan of Russell Brand, but now I like him better when he's more clean cut rather than his old shaggy look!
Reply to this
I didn't want to see Your Highness at 1st because of the trailer, and I kinda don't like McBride as those Nike commercals of his were very very VERY annoying to me! I kinda wanted to see it after I heard alot of the same stuff you mentioned in your review on the G4's AOTS's interview with McBride inwhich they showed him talk about the movie and he wasn't in his usaul character that I hate!
Wow, I'm sad to admit I've seen that Simpson XXX Parody before, but I'm glad I've seen a movie before your review of it finnally!!! And it was as hallairious as you said it was! I loved all of the dialogue in it and that is a rare statement to make about a porno!!! And now that you'v done this one you need to at least do these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4kL2Slx2Cw&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84yL3GdUvPY&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0t0u1ofiv0&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QW7oAZClqx4 This one will be funny I know it's gotta be!
Reply to this
I really like your highness a lot. I wasn't sure what to make of it what with the bad reviews, but I came out wondering just what movie those critics must have seen. It wasn't just pretty funny, it was also better than much of the (cheaper) sword and sorcery movies it was mocking.

other actual funny titled porn parodies you gotta review someday! You might reconize these from latenight Cinemax broadcast! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsccwQLNX7Q SpiderBabe! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqBc7IakQMY Play-Mate Of The Apes! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOooLetTgWw Lord of the G-Strings!

I'm kind of trying to wrap my head around the logic of the Mcbane Porno Spoof.
So, let's just assume that this porno spoof (The Simpsons one) is a porno spoof WORLD, where anything that happens in THIS version of Springfield is the porno equivalent of what happens in the TV show Springfield. So shouldn't Mcbane's show still be called Mcbane? Why on earth, in this porno spoof world, would they have network broadcast of THE MCBANE SPOOF? It makes no sense.
It's like if I made a film where the main character of the show was watching a spoof of a TV show that the film made up. It makes no sense. By CALLING it the porno spoof, it suddenly makes no sense. It kind of means that the movie is self aware, in which case, it's not really a spoof, as much as a parody.
A spoof imitates the original work. In that sense, The Simpsons Porno spoof would be the same thing as The Simpsons, but everything would be more pornographic. So Mcbane would still be called Mcbane. But this is NOT a spoof movie if it's not even imitating the show, because it's not. It's just so hard to wrap my head around this.

I liked "Your Higness" too man. Glad you liked it. I keep saying to people that I think this could very easily fall into a niche market much like something like Half Baked did where it has it's fans but critics really don't like it. And I think this is going to be the same. It's going to have it's own little group of people who like it even with some of the faults.
Reply to this
So why do you go to see movies expecting not to like them? I am glad to hear you liked it, but why would you spend $10 if you probably don't like the result?
Anyways, nice background in these videos.
Reply to this
So I can review them for the site.

First of all, lol, that the first time I write a comment under this name (I usually use a different one, but it was a pretty stupid comment, I admit), I get a direct response FROM THE GREAT MAN HIMSELF THE FUCKING SNOB, whereas my comments under my main name have gone untouched by Brad/Bradley/Bradford/Bradston/whatever your full name is.
Anyways, I guess that makes sense, I didn't realize that these reviews were as serious as the Snob reviews, and you only made them when you happened to go to the theatre. Thanks for your dedication to the craft of internet reviewing, in that case.

Oh man I was waiting for the Simpsons Porn review ever since we talked about it at C2E2 and I gotta say I'm a bit disappointed. You have SO much to work with and what little in terms of "story" they did have sounded promising but to pad it out that badly with only three sex scenes is just... lazy. Way to drop the ball. If I wanted to watch a porno with people painted except on their junk I will stick with "This Ain't Avatar" thank you very much.
Reply to this
Brad, go track down and watch Super. It's a James Gunn film and a crazier, gorier version of Kick-Ass.
Reply to this
Oh god, and I thought "Scrubs: A XXX Parody" was bad... Not that I'd know... >_>
Reply to this
Oh...GOD. Damn you, snob! That's the last time I google anything related to your reviews! Fucking... GOLDEN GIRLS XXX PARODY.

Color me lazy, but I never watch porn for plot. Awesome impersonations btw!

will the Simpson porn be reviewed by the Snob like the Ninja Turtles porn, is it too recent? And you should have quoted comic book guy and said "Worst Porno Spoof title ever!" At least it didn't have a Smithers Burns scene.
Reply to this
It sounds like the porn got the idea for the McBain t.v. porn from the "Fox turned into a hardcore sex network so gradually I barely noticed" line from one of the "Simpsons in the future" episodes.
Reply to this
I´m so with you on the names, It´s fucking porno, what the hell are they thinking?! there´s so muck potential, and next to no censorship (afaik) so why not show some imagination?
though, they did paint the actors yellow, right? that´s funny..
Hustler... thumbs (dicks) down!
Cinemasnob, thumbs up, for always.
Reply to this
Wait, you lost me at the part where 90 minutes of action and five minutes of plot makes a bad action movie. That's the formula for a great action movie. Too much plot gets in the way of Jason Statham or Tony Jaa beating the shit out of people.
Reply to this
Its sad to see that the porn industry is getting lazy with their titles. Also, couldn't they have digitally made the actor's skin yellow? Was paint cheaper? If kids with video equipment can make convincing homemade lightsaber duels, the porn industry could utilize stuff like that to better effect.
Reply to this
I think the main reason they only ever call it "A XXX Parody" these days is as a jab at people who tried to stop them from releasing a more traditionally-named porn parody a while ago.
Reply to this
What about The Foreskin-Sons?
Reply to this
the actors in the Avatar XXX Parody did the same thing. there whole body was painted except their dicks
Reply to this
I think the McBain scene had the characters' skins being colored digitally. It just looked a little off. It would also explain why McBain's dick is also yellow.
And yeah, the asian girlfriend in Moe's scene is Cookie Kwan. Which is weird because she isn't yellow-skinned in the show.

am i the only one who feels like this movie is like watching a pal-B tape a ntsc vhs?
Reply to this
When I read the title of the review, I had to look it up and I watched the trailer before the vid. Holy Hell! Personally I'm glad they just painted the cast yellow and not use foam prothetics
Reply to this
You should do a review of "This Ain't Avatar".
I didn't get to see it yet.
I saw the box cover and I was already just as grossed out as I while watching "ET the Porno".
Reply to this
Dammit! Why did I have to click that link Lai-Lai posted? Why couldn't I be satisfied with the review? Now I have to go find the brain bleach!
Brad, you do a better Homer than the guy in the movie! And you do a pretty damn good Moe, too! My friend Al always compliments me on my Marge/Selma/Patty impression, which I must say doesn't do wonders for my self-esteem. I'm plenty gay enough already without having to be told what a good female impersonator I am!

I guess "The Sex Files" and "The XXX Files" were already taken.

Why is Star Trek: The Motion Picture on your precious Caligula shelf?

It's not. That's a Star Trek story record.

... or maybe the girl playing Marge didn't want to suck yellow paint. Just a thought. Crazy, I know.

This is such a great resource that you are providing and you give it away for free. I love seeing websites that understand the value of providing a quality resource for free.

Just saw the video on YouTube. Homer was great but Marge sounds like Marty McFly's mother to me... If only she started calling him Calvin...

I just bought a Japanese porno called "Meath Note" (a porno spoof of "Death Note").

Ummmm....
Why the hell were you watching a Simpson's porno?

Your review of the Simpsons Porn parody reminded me of the main problems I have with modern porn.
I can't stand how long the scenes are. I tend to get bored with them at about the 15 minute mark and I have to skip to the end of the scene. There is no reason why a 2 1/2 hour porn tape needs to have four 40 minute scenes of sex.
I get that if it were a 25 minute vignette, but in a porn movie?
I know that dispensing with the plot in these movies is a good thing, but have a lot more scenes and make them about 15 minutes long instead.
Reply to this
Brad, could you find time to review the Scooby-Doo parody? It has a LOT more humor than this one, and the sex scenes don't run endlessly long (not to mention I just love the actor they picked to play Shaggy!)?

has someone already said "The Pimpsons"?
