MacGruber Trailer Takes an Upper-Decker in the Red-Band Toilet

MacGruber Trailer Takes an Upper-Decker in the Red-Band Toilet

From the minds of WIll Forte, an SNL staff writer, and one of the Lonely Island guys comes a fashionably late television show parody sketch taken to its logical and inevitable conclusion: expensive motion picture. Angus MacGuyver may not have ever made it the big show, but his proudly tardy spoof counterpart MacGruber has got that shit covered. In this special 30x longer installment of MacGruber, the titular special operative is tasked with confronting the evil Deiter Von Cunth who, on top of having a name that’s conspicuously close to offensive slang for the babyhole, has stolen a nuclear warhead and plans to level Washington D.C. The trailer’s jokes may rely a bit too much on MacGruber’s blithe ignorance in conversation, but there are a few moments of genuine hilarity when Forte takes advantage of the film’s presumed R rating. Because if anything can lift a Saturday Night Live movie above the doldrums of It’s Pat or Night at the Roxbury , it’s un-bleeped F-words. And Ryan Phillipe. No watching this trailer unless you’re legally allowed to smoke and buy this month’s Hustler, OK?

A Miata? Not bad. I’ve always thought of the Ford Probe as king of outdated sporty ridiculousness, but the Miata certainly holds its own. First Official Photos: MacGruber [/Film]

‘MacGruber’ Movie is Happening

‘MacGruber’ Movie is Happening

Looks like Lorne Michaels still has his summer job stretching mediocre three-minute sketches into full-length films of dubious quality. Variety is reporting MacGruber, the one-note MacGyver parody and recent Pepsi shill played by Will Forte, will be the next SNL character to find its way to the big screen. Joining Forte on the quest to write something more akin to Wayne’s World than The Ladies Man/Superstar/Night at the Roxbury/Coneheads/etc. will be SNL writer John Solomon and Jorma Taccone, of Lonely Island and Land of the Lost monkey-boy fame, who will also direct. With an actual MacGyver film also in the works , it looks like studios are feeling the recession and turning to an obvious, foolproof moneymaker: imitations of Richard Dean Anderson. Stargate: The TV Show: The Movie Again can’t be far behind.
