From Matt to Ben... to Seth?
Over on the new Yahoo! Buzz, folks are discussing how Sarah Silverman's music video (the one with Matt Damon) is spawning decreasingly hilarious spinoffs. The original had Sarah and Matt. The next one starred Sarah's boyfriend Jimmy Kimmel and Ben Affleck. Now, there's a new one with Elizabeth Banks and Seth Rogan.
This latest R-rated clip isn't all that funny (who knew viral videos could jump the shark so quickly), but it has inspired a slew of searches on the lovely Ms. Banks. Lookups on the beautiful blonde are up 68% and related searches on her upcoming comedy, "Zack and Miri Make a Porno," co-starring Mr. Rogan, are beginning to surge. Here's hoping their movie (due out this year) is more original than the tune.

Yeah and it's hilarious. If you don't think this is funny... you need to pull your head out of your azz!!

It may not be original, but if you happened to know anything about the background, it's some of the first insight we have into Zach and Miri, and like renaissance said, it's Seth Rogen (This is the way it's spelled too.) In the right context it's priceless. In the wrong context, still pretty funny.
And jumping the shark is not in any way the right way to look at it. In your argument it's closer to beating a dead horse than jumping the shark.

As a member of Kevin Smith's message board this is one of the first glimpses we've had into the much awaited new movie (Zack and Miri Make a Porno).
I think it's fantastic and Elizabeth, who wrote the skit, should get MAJOR kudos!
We definitely look forward to seeing the new movie!
