This is absolutely horrible. I have never seen anything less funny.
100%
Not funny. Not even remotely amusing.
I’m a comedy snob, and I liked this. F. U.
So bad..it really sucked!
With the exception of the original Landlord skit, I have yet to find anything even mildly amusing on Funny or Die.
And as for this one, I think you would need some sort of awareness of that which you are spoofing. How many people are aware that the movie “Drive” even exists?
Saw a Lorenzo Lamas thing on Funny or Die a while back that was funny
That’s why it is called Funny or Die…Not all of the vids have to be funny to make it on Funny or Die…look it got You to bitch about it…think about blogging or internet gossip or better yet high school. Funny or Die is a great website that has viewers up the ahole!
p.s. I didn’t like this one either. But it has me going back day after day to see the new post.
OK, clearly someone who produced this schlock is banging this “the deadline team” person…has to be because this was some serious derivative crap. not terrible- just unoriginal.
There are literally hundreds of internet videos more worthy of this kind of attention.
If it’s in the top thousand internet videos, that’s kinda hot… Loved the Hamburgler.
Wonder if this makes Deadline if the director were a Gersh client. The rich get richer.
Good for like 30 seconds, but not great. Fascinated with itself. Amazing what mediocrity comes out of “repped talent.”
i think that’s pretty funny!
Okay, seems like a bit of nepotism is going on here. The agents mentioned are obvious friends of somebody at this site. I mean I love spoofs, parodies, satires, etc…..but this is garbage! I didn’t smile once. Alex, do us a favor and stay behind the scenes. I would sit through Jack & Jill, a movie I swore I’d never see unless I was bound and gagged, than sit through this piece of shit again.
Thanks for wasting my time yet again Deadline with a crappy not funny video.
So, I guess it’s gonna be Die. Are things really that desperate for you over there, Martin?
Is it telling that watching this just reminded me of how much I loved Drive?
Totally not funny enough to be a two and a half minutes of parody.
Bravo, Jake…well put.
Thought it was hilarious, I laughed out loud! I do agree you have to have seen the film (or at least a trailer); well done, good production value (casting was ehhhh) but a decent parody.
c’mon…this is lame. not original and not even an original take. borrrrrrrrrring.
One’s connections might be able to get this piece of crap posted on here, but they can’t make it funny.
Nailed it. Also the very same reason tons of shitty movies get made. This is embarrassingly unfunny.
Thank you for the exhaustive list of everyone involved in this, complete with their representatives and where to contact them. So who on the team is buddies with these guys?
this was funny. so there.
Really? I haven’t seen such an un-funny, un-inspired short on this site. Guys, did you watch this before you posted it?!?
Matthew wrote a good script 5 years ago. Is this what he has been up to since. Jeez. Scary.
I loved it! Well done.
I haven’t seen the film. Don’t remember the trailer.
This is funny. These kids have talent.
Don’t mind the haters.
THAT HIPSTER ALEX GUY IS SO GODDAMN UNFUNNY

It’s not funny. So, it should die.
Deadline Comment Boards… never will you find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
This was quite funny. Kudos to the makers.
P.I.
Hopefully you include yourself in your assessment.
ooooooh! BURN!
P.I.
Dear “Did you watch this?” – Glad you enjoyed Diamond Dogs. And you guessed correctly – I have indeed been working on this Drive parody for the last five years. It was kind of slow going until “Drive” actually came out (Development, amirite??), but it quickly came together after that. Sorry you didn’t enjoy it, though I will say that your view count probably helped me out more than whatever general meeting I apparently offended you in back in 2007. Cheers, Matthew
Ha ha! Matthew — if indeed you are the real guy who helped make this video — the fact that you took the time defend yourself on this website proves what an insecure talentless hack you truly are. Kudos for making a fake trailer that’s as funny as Nick Swardson’s BUCKY LARSON.
you have no class my friend. and no talent either.
Dear Mr. Michaud,
I recommend your next posting be an open letter apology.
