Pal of David Cross and Johnny Knoxville and all-around New York renaissance man, Gavin McInnes, has released his short film from Sundance, entitled Asshole, to the web masses. The short has a simple premise: McInnes plays the titular (analar? familiar?) character, a man on the verge of blowing up or becoming a full-blown snuggler during a reg visit to the doctor. Asshole also serves as a NSFW primer for Street Carnage Films, the Brooklyn-based independent behind projects like Totally For Teens, TV Carnage, and the new feature Sanza Hanza. Short in full after the jump…

“It’s like a tickle if Al Qaeda was torturing people by tickling the inside of their anus with shards of broken glass put at the end of a fucking power drill.” Alrighty then. In his outspoken, mustachioed way, McInnes has declared in general that…

“Acting is a cinch. All you have to do is memorize all your lines and then repeat them into the mirror thrice. The End.”

What do you think dear commenters? Some of the lines in the short definitely need punching-up (especially the doctor’s), but McInnes gives off an unpredictable punk tension that’s engrossing enough for the duration. But he clearly has bigger, featurey ideas in store for his company, and if anything he could pursue the title of Brooklyn’s Larry David a la HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm. Here come the Woody Allen diehards, so I’ll add, “for those fucking hipsters.” If you’re wondering what the memorable song is used at the end that’s a song called, yeah, “Food and Pussy,” by California artist Dan Reeder.

The below clip is from Sundance earlier this year and documents the Asshole team, which includes young director, Chadd Harbold, and the shenanigans they got into at the festival…

    "Wiping my ass, I feel like I'm yanking peanut butter out of a shag rug."

    Hahaha, I really wanted him to get his prescription and then walk out and pass it off to a drug dealer.

    Seems fitting that the second clip is 4:20 too.
  • how did that get into sundance? its not the most unfunny thing ever, but i didn't lol. the doctor is no good and the main dude sounds very scripted and trys too hard. it just feels like something a 15 year old would write.
  • Normally I like most Last Pictures' films but this one was so incredibly forced. Makes me wonder what it takes to get into Sundance, having submitted things myself...
  • NandosFan
    Donald Sutherland is AssHole ??
  • Andrew
    I thought it was awesome.
  • Not as funny as his short stuff on youtube like "How to Fight" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jeu6bXxTwfk
  • PalmliX
    Entertaining enough, not too crazy about the 'DOF Adaptor' look for this type of thing.
  • Mike
    I hate this more than anything
  • misanthrope
    I love that guys mustachio! I mean what a kick as mustachio. Damn.

    I liked the "Asshole at Sundance" better than the short film though.

    His Video called "Sophie can walk" is comedy GOLD.

    (McInnes is the only guy I've ever seen who owns as many Fred Perry Polos as I do. )

  • Johnifer Aniston
    what is that song at the end. i kept trying to tag it with shazam on my iphone but nothing would come up. anyone know.
  • jack the rock
    the song is named in the article you pansy fool!!!!
  • iec
    This is terrible. How the hell does a script like this get produced or watched by anyone who cares about anything?

    This guy has the biggest ego in the world. The doctor is a terrible actor.
  • Name
    I find the association to Larry David shows a complete misunderstanding of his character in Curb Your Enthusiasm as well as an insult to the intelligence of the show.
  • TylerJ
    Wow, a lot of people seem to be taking this post personally.

    I, personally, enjoyed the clip and the style.
  • glenjm
    Yeah, I loved it. Gavin McInnes is fucking awesome. If you haven't seen his short "Sophie Can Walk", watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdHjHPo9UWw It's one of my favourite comedic short films of all time.
  • Name
    This was pretty lame. I lost all interst once Vincent started talking. "I'm not going to put on your ass-dress." Wow, they must have went through serious writing sessions to come up with that one. This type of comedy shtick needs to go away.
