Tom Rothman is making anyone with a Fox production deal do it… (No, seriously, Fox claims it had no idea Ben was going to do this. The studio didn’t even provide the clip.)

Might take a crane to get Stiller’s tongue out of his cheek — it’s obviously a goof, but funny …
That was absolutely HYSTERICAL!! Ben you are awesome for having the balls to mock James Cameron!!
Jana, he is not mocking Cameron at all.
Wrong.
That’s hilarious.
Stiller saw that video of Cameron turning tricks for CGI and thought it was real. He’s just trying to save Cameron from a life on the streets.
Well done and funny. ABC News had a “Avator: Not Your Grandpa’s 3-D” segment tonight. “Head mounted cameras” for facial details. Very cool. Can’t wait to see.
Oh yeah… so cool they’re blue… the over-hype is nauseating…
Ahaha, Ben by himself is so much funnier than Ben in any movie. He should do standups.
David Caruso, Susan Boyle and 14 years in the making. Pretty funny.
First Fox ruins Bones with promoting Avatar, now force Ben Stiller to promote this movie…
…something tells me Fox is worried…
Stiller wasn’t mocking or making fun of anybody. He was trying to do a comedy bit which was, as usual for him, very mildly amusing. Comedy isn’t about hate or trashing people, it’s (often) about doing the unexpected, which is the basis for this bit. The negative comments about Avatar from female posters here is not surprising. Women in general have a discouraging lack of curiosity or maybe even aptitute when it comes to math and science. Hence science-fiction makes them feel confused and ignorant and they try to lash out in self-defense in response to the cognitive dissonance. If only they’d embrace science and science-fiction and raise their daughters to appreciate both. Then maybe women would contribute something greater than a tiny minority of scientific advancements and achievements in the world. It’s no wonder both genders in Asian cultures are so much more skilled at math and science than in America, since they embrace REAL science-fiction and fantasy (not vampire porn) on a broad cultural level instead of having a narrow-minded, closed-minded attitude towards it. But many Americans prefer to stay arrogant, self-righteous and stupid on this and other subjects.
Wow JediJones,
Most people on this website like to get to a simple point and not make it a whole essay. Obviousl, judging by your comment you have no friends. I feel sorry for you.
Naw, he just doesn’t get laid. Well, not for free.
