One wonders how much moolah DreamWorks dropped on this new promotional Tropic Thunder LOLcat featuring Ben Stiller’s Tugg Speedman. I’m not the one. Rather than take on Hollywood’s cause du jour, Global Warming, Speedman’s preferred charity is Pandas. Mmm/blech, Panda Express.
This week also witnessed the unmasking of Speedman’s Tom Cruise-biting website, leaving many (employed) bloggers to declare Cruise’s IRL site victorious. And this wouldn’t be news if we didn’t mention that I Can Haz Cheezburger just launched a new celeb-skewering site called Totally Looks Like. Example: Glenn Close’s face…totally looks like…Peter Weller’s head in RoboCop. (theirs).
Discuss: Would you like to see more studios use/resurrect the LOLcat format to market blockbusters? If so, explain. If you feel the new viral strategy “rapes geek culture” as one reader commented, add your magic to the LOLcat here and share below. Would you go see I Can Haz Cheezburger: Theatrical Movie?

No LOLcats marketing, please.
The only one that looks funny is banker cat.
And, god no, no cheesburger movie.

i don’t want them to because they will rape the idea until it is no longer funny and no longer a nice geeky culture. Just like they did with those Text commercials with the net lingo.

That poster is more retarded than Simple Jack.

LOLcat is no longer funny anymore…..

LOLcats was never funny. One of the stupidest internet meme’s to date. Look, if you want to “get at” the myspace generation. Then just create a faux myspace account and tack-on over 500 glittering, animated .gifs all around your logo. Asking pre-teens to send in their best “bathroom nude” shots.
You could also pay for one of those hipster Ipod commercials with the “silhouette” people in it dancing to a Wilco track or something by “Feist”.

As with all things, there are a few funny cat macros, but most aren’t. And once again, by the time popular culture picks up on something, it’s stopped being funny on the internet three years ago.
This one? Not funny.

They should hit up eHarmony and use “All Your Base Are Belong To Us” while they’re at it.
Because that would be hilarious, Ben Stiller.

Pathetic lolcat image macro aside, this movie looks funny as hell.

He’s handsome. I think I saw his pics on Rich kiss.com. And the profile is attractive, sincere and sexy. Maybe it’s kidding. Maybe he’s lonely? Who knows the fact?
