Forget Christian Bale, footage leaked onto the web this weekend of Michael Cera flipping out on the set of the big screen adaptation of Youth in Revolt. Sure, it’s just a viral publicity stunt for the film, but we enjoyed it regardless. Watch the video after the jump.

Thanks to /Film readers GregoryV and Harry F for the tip.

    Are you kidding I believe this kid Michael Cera deserves a bloody oscar for that apparently fake flip out episode. It may not have been super hilarious, but the first time I saw it, I was completely captivated by his emotions during his rant around the film crew. Wow I am amazed.

    And it is someone hilarious, especially when he was saying stuff like, "you guys are amatuers and it will be a miracle if the this film do so well, because its made by a bunch of amatuers. HAHAHA, thats great.

    Why would you compare this with what Christian Bale did, if this is fake and Bale's rant was clearly not.

    I like Cera's spin on the Bale issue, I actually liked it alot, and I still have my doubts that its fake at the moment, I'm sure Cera deserves points for that.

    Bottom line CERA is a a genius like someone else said earlier and I didn't see any comments on that post because this message board seems to be filled with a bunch of immature youngsters anyways.

    Considering Youth in Revolt wrapped last year I don't think this is a parody of the Bale thing.
  • i dont know! because of the whole christian bale thign i just didnt laugh! knew straight away it was fake!
  • I guess I didn't like...hate this as much as most people.
    I agree that it's not all that great. I just didn't care.
    But I think saying it was HORRIBLE is a little too harsh.
  • you can tell that he's starting to run out of ideas what to say after a minute or so. but nevertheless kinda dumb actually.
  • it didn't come across as funny to me. the joke is over- tons of videos were made, t-shirts were made, and an apology was issued.

    they should have released this a little sooner, it probably would have been met with different results.

    But this thread in itself has already spawned 50+ comments, and the youtube video has 600,000+ hits so: Mission Accomplished
  • He's so awkward it's funny.
  • He's so awkward, it's funny.

    So is the only time Michael Cera not acting like his George Bluth character is when he does something like this?
  • George Michael Bluth?
  • Palmer
    Yes, sorry. My mistake.
  • lol, i respect you but you're amatuers!
  • the dude
    its not prabably a joke it was definatley a joke
  • it'll be the first time in history that a movie made by amateurs was any good at all!

    lol how do you say cera is one-sided? We just saw something completely different than anything he's done...lol
  • nick
    maybe christian bale was mocking michael cera?
  • Brian
    How the hell does this guy keep getting acting work? He's more untalented and one sided than Keanu Reeves...
  • Oscar
    Lame, this meme died during the weekend. Shut up and go do the Arrested Development movie before we forget you exist Michael, Michael, whatever your name is.....(see, it's already happening)
  • edog
    There are worse ways to generate early buzz, but it took less than a week for Bale's rant to be played out.
  • SO fucking tired of this. Cera has no place to mock Bale like that. I wonder what type of character he's going to play in this, oh wait, no I don't. Awkward Teenager.
  • skippy
    "Cera has no place to mock Bale like that."

    i'm pretty sure he has a nice apartment or condo somewhere. heck, maybe even a duplex...
  • Wasn't funny for me, I just don't get why people are still on this freak out trip. It was awesome for about two days, it's over now.
  • No. He is not a bitch.
  • terrible the worst thing ever
  • GOOFRIP
    He's an IDIOT and he sucks as an Actor. Failure!
  • impressario
    How can something be a hit and a miss?
  • Think of it like pullets or shooting for goal. Some hit, some miss.
  • TylerJ
    "The More You Know"
  • I think you mean swing and a miss
  • BIG ED
    you mean swing and miss he almost certainly meant hit and miss
  • hahahaha.... i love Michael Cera. this was funny
  • Biggest departure of acting for him ever. But I still love his movies. PLLLLLEEEEEEEAAAAASSSSEEEE do arrested development.

    You know what a series of jokes of him being missing could be great.
  • Michael Cera is the new Michael J. Fox... plays the same character over and over, but less memorable. And will be forever a teenager, apparently (was that his voice cracking?).
  • I hope you're wrong, but I can see what you mean
  • Albert Brodsky
    I like Cera. He's a funny kid and I think he will continue to get better as an actor.
  • andrew aiello
    until he signs on for the arrested development movie.... FUCK CERA
  • Cera is a genius
  • lettuce
    you bite your tounge
  • That was very awkward. Completely stupid if you ask me.
  • pat
    yea if I saw him flipping out I'd probably just tell him to shut up and give him a wedgie lol
  • "Behavoural issues are the least of my f**king problems!" You can hear him laughing at times and he's constantly forgetting his 'rant', but it made me laugh, maybe it's something to do with the fact I'd never expect George Michael to say something like that!
  • I like his robe.
  • 123edc
    cera is awful.
  • joshi38
    Cera made the same joke for Knocked Up. I know they're cashing in on the whole Christian Bale thing, but I really don't think it was worth it. It was funny the first time.

    Meh, not funny at all. Ok, maybe just a bit, but this doesnt have even 1/4 of energy and anger that Bale had. Cera is good actor etc, but when it comes this, he just fails.
  • GOD BLESS CERA.
  • good
  • If you didnt know this was fake, you would probably think that Michael Cera is a real dick head. But in all truth, he is actually the nicest guy you could talk to. Im a big fan of his work.
  • That was really funny. Christian Bale is a bitch.
  • Nor was this really funny.
