Entourage "Screen Test" Ads—10:43 AM
I hadn't seen these spots before, although I assume they run on HBO. As enjoyable as this season of Entourage is becoming, these are even better. Select scenes (I think they're from season 1) are screened, followed by pretend "screen tests" with well-known D-listers. It's clearly inspired by the brilliant SNL Star Wars screen test sketch, and it's very, very funny.
Lost Scene: Liquor Store with Diamond Dallas Page, Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka, and Nikolai Volkoff (wrestlers, presumably).
Lost Scene: Poolside with Gary Coleman and Pat Morita.
Lost Scene: Coffee Shop with Erik Estrada, Pat Harrington, Richard Kline, and Jimmy Walker.
Lost Scene: Studio with Ellen Albertini Dow (the "Rapping Granny"), Estelle Harris (George Costanza's mom), Zelda "This house is clear" Rubinstein, and Renee Taylor.
When Pat Morita asks Gary Coleman, "Do you ever jerk off with a belt around your neck?" you don't ask why. You just laugh harder than you laughed at anything in The Aristocrats.
