It was meant to be funny and way and over the top. It was never meant to be taken seriously. In fact, yes, it's a little too over the top (but brilliant!) and therefore I can see why the scene was cut.

Exactly! :laugh: I haven't seen "Knocked Up," but this seems off-topic. It probably works better as a YouTube video than it would as a movie scene. In fact, maybe it's actually strategically placed advertising.

That's the point, though -- not only would no str8 guy ever say that, very few str8 guys would say ANY of that! It's satirizing the opposite, but equally ridiculous, way str8 guys DO react to BBM.

I didn't get it. What is the writer saying with this scene?
By the way, though, I am really anxious to see this movie. I have to go sometime, since it's released.

OMG that was so funny...I wonder what Heath and Jake would think of it though....very funny.

LOL! I think they were thinking exactly this:
"Phew....Thank God Ang didn't decide to turn it into an X-rated movie at the last minute...and us not having read the fine print in our contracts that said we have to do everything Ang says, even if he turns it into an X-rated movie...."

Well, you could probably interpret it different ways. But I think the writer is making fun of the way straight men usually act about BBM, like it's horrible to have to watch even what gay sex there IS in it, and that the only consolation is glimpsing Ann Hathaway's breasts.
Mainly, as I see it, it's just being silly and fooling around with the idea that very few straight men would react the way that guy does.
BTW, I saw the movie yesterday and thought it was pretty funny and cute. I wished this scene had been in it, though I guess it would have been kind of OT.

I'm in a vast minority, I guess, in that I didn't like this movie much at all. (I like the deleted scene, though. Go figure.) I found it very misogynistic - the women were portrayed as hysterical, hormonal bitches, and the men, while certainly flawed, were portrayed as being the voices of reason. I wouldn't want to live (or even be friends) with either of the two leading women. I found them annoying as hell. Take, for example, the way the one overreacted to finding out what her adorable husband (Paul Rudd - yummy) was hiding from her. Most of us would be relieved to learn it wasn't what we most feared and in fact was something pretty innocuous. But she flies into a rage. I don't know - I guess I just don't like Judd Apatow's "humor" overall. I didn't think The 40-Year-Old Virgin was funny, either. At all. It was on one of the premium channels one night, and I couldn't get past the first 15 minutes of it. I only went to see this one because my local paper gave it 4 stars (out of 4). I'd give it 2 1/2 at best. But then, I'm just a hysterical, hormonal bitch. ;)
