VOTD: Young Funny People (Adam Sandler and Judd Apatow) Make Prank Calls

Posted on Sunday, July 12th, 2009 by Peter Sciretta

young Adam Sandler

In Judd Apatow’s new film Funny People, Adam Sandler plays a famous comedian named George Simmons who learns he may not have a lot of time left. In the movie, they use footage from Sandler’s early career in comedy, including this tape of Sander making a prank call to Jerry’s Deli in 1991. The guy behind the camera is Sandler’s roommate at the time, someone named Judd Apatow. Watch the clip after the jump.

  • So will the entirety of this movie be available to the public before it premieres between the first trailer and its million web videos?
  • This isn't really a funny people focused thing. Judd Apatow, Adam Sandler and comedian Doug Benson were roommates before Apatow and Sandler became famous. Just a coincidence.
  • The article above states that this is actually in the movie.
  • itsamemario

    Nothing I've seen for this film has looked the least bit funny. This is the type of film you get from Netflix when you can't think of anything to watch.
  • MissMe
    I wouldn't even waste my Netflix rental on this. I see it more of a Comedy Central Sunday Afternoon When I Don't Have Any Netflix To Watch movie...
  • kfizz
