Sunday Video: A Porno I would Watch for the Jokes

OK, this one is a little weird for me, but aside from the title and a little bit of swearing, this is safe for work.

This week, Semaj wrote an entry regarding a list that the Huffington Post put together of recent pornographic movies that were based on sitcoms, one of which was a Triple X version of 30 Rock, and you know what... I actually want to see it because for the most part, it seems they sort of went for towards actually trying to make it funny. I don't want to see the sex so much as I want to see actual plot and writing (wow, that look weird in writing).

I mean, the dude playing Alec Baldwin's Jack Donaghy really sounds like him, while Bishop, who plays the character based on Tracy Morgan/Jordan, seems to really run with the character too. It is like they actually thought this whole thing through and tried to make something that is almost an homage to the show (granted, it could be like most other movie trailers where the best parts are shown).



Of course, even from this nudity free trailer, there is some porn acting (Amy Reid, I am looking at you). And that dude who is playing the character based on Pete/Scott Adsit has hair that is just messed up. I mean, if you are in for a penny for something like this, you should be in for a pound. OK, my commitment to verisimilitude in parodies is a little too strident I admit it.

And the woman playing the character based on Tina Fey/Liz Lemon is also the woman who played Sarah Palin in porn, so it is funny how this worked out.

I wonder how Tina Fey feels about all this. I am hoping that she takes it with good humor like Zach Braff did about the Scrubs XXX movie this same company produced.

That Zach Braff clip was funny as hell.

He took it in good stride.
I would love to see 30 Rock actually address the porn movie and actually have the porn stars on the show. It'd be very meta. It wouldn't be too far off their format to do that. (heck, 30 Rock did a jab at Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip)

I think the series will “jump the shark or nuke the refrigerator” when they start doing 80's cartoon shows like Smarfs and GI Joe.
