Who is Fred Simmons? Why is he The King of the Demo? And what does “King of the Demo” even mean? I’m not quite sure…
On February 26th, Danny R. McBride appeared as Simmons on the Conan O’ Brien show in a fake promo to promote the upcoming Paramount Vantage comedy The Foot Fist Way. Why should you watch this clip? Well aside from the fact that the film is currently getting a 9.7 on imdb, aside from the fact that the entire Judd Apatow crew is apparently obsessed with this movie, aside from the fact that Patton Oswalt has been “declaring it a sui generis work on par with The Big Lebowski”, it’s worth watching for Simmons’ interaction with Will Farrel alone. Check out the video after the jump.
Also check out the red band movie trailer below:
Thanks to /Film reader ewan happy for sending this in. The Foot Fist Way hits theaters on April 11th.

Danny McBride is awesome and Foot Fist should be sweet.

That was retarded. The trailer wasn’t much better than the fake promo either.

looks hilarious.

So, when does the comedy begin. I laughed not once at the trailer. If Will Ferrell found that funny, then I know why his movies are getting worse!

Funniest Movie Of All Time- Jonah Hill
Watch the special features on Superbad and they all talk about how much they loved the Foot Fist Way.

Like we need another ‘Hot Rod.’ This looks terrible.
March 4th, 2008 at 9:55 pm
Pretty funny for something I haven’t heard of. Looking forward to it.

Suprised to hear people saying it looks terrible, definatly looks good enough to check out.

Comedy has officially become a racket like Hip-hip. One guy has some success so he gets all his buddies record deals through his label, and then they get all their buddies record deals through their label, and so on, regardless of actual talent or merit. And then you end up with a bunch of half-assed, unoriginal crap. Like this. Those guys are probably hyping it because they are financially invested and are their “brother’s keepers.”

Supposed to be “hip-hop.” Tee hee.

about as funny as one of hunter’s reviews.

Why the hell is it so hard to correctly write Will Ferrell’s name??? It’s FERRELL => 2 Es, 2 Rs, 2 Ls. Not Ferel, Ferrel, Ferell, Farel, Farrel, Farrell, Farell,… Why don’t you try Feral newt time?

it seems that every time someone or a group gets popular (ie Ferrell and his posse) it becomes cool on the internet to decide that they are no longer cool, and that they are stale… That said, this is going to be hilarious! Hot Rod was genius, and this guy rocks!
