does anyone remember laughter?

apatow's upcoming funny people features a slew of fake studio comedies starring sandler's character george simmons. today a bunch of mock one sheets were released. have to appreciate the attention to detail in them especially in the billing block. the regulars are included on every front. with actors there's rudd (in every one), jonah hill, jay baruchel, catherine keener... and producers include carrell, robertson, jon poll. humble too that apatow puts his own name at the helm of these flicks.

i wish the ideas were a little funnier (though re-do and sayonara davey somehow manage to elicit a legitimate chuckle), its sad how easy these are to not just mock up one sheets for, but imagine as actual releases. if anything, they're not absurd enough. too close for comfort.
