Three spoofs if you count the film itself.

Please let this be the cover for The Love Guru DVD.

That's actually a vast improvement over the US cover.

The Promotion

Worst Photoshop job I've seen in a while.

Is it just me or do Sean William Scott and John C. Reilly look like two werewolves who shaved this morning and have their five o'clock shadow all over their entire faces?

As someone in the comments note, the film is about two grocery store employees. The cover makes it look like it's a spinoff of The Office.

That Verne Troyer photo is disturbing on many levels.
Not least of which is the "fan" who came up to their table to get a snap of the couple right before dinner.
Otherwise midgets should refuse to have bibs put on them. And I'm always freaked out by the twisted anthropomorphic drawings of friendly animals happily serving up the body parts of their own species (as featured on the bibs).

And while this might not be the worst of covers, it is impressive how completely they've "Barbie-fied" a real person.
And the tagline is great.

Even more bizarre is that it turns out there is a whole series of Carmen Electra aerobic stripping videos, and a box set collecting them.

Thats been around for awhile now.

It's a new Dvd arrival in Shanghai. Some things just take a while to get pirated in China.

But with the bright pink cover and "fun" stars pasted all over, exactly who are they appealing to? Are they trying to get 13 year old girls to learn the benefits of stripping?

Of course, this might make them more willing to be strip-searched in school when suspected of harboring Ibuprofen.
[In a squeaker -- a 6-5 decision in front of the 9th Circuit Fed Appeals Court -- it was decided the strip search was an unlawful search, overturning an earlier Fed court 2-1 split decision]

Maybe the next edition can be Carmen Electra's Aerobic Stripping in the Principal's Office.

What could you possibly think is wrong with that cover, Kinsayder?

I'm surprised this one hasn't turned up here yet.

So Stewart's in a desperate hurry and has just discovered that he's forgotten to put on his watch?

I think I can see the inspiration for this one.

It seems to me like it is this (bad cover in its own right):

Plus this:

Ah yes, I heard about this one. I find it curious that Boll thinks people should trust that that his "director's cut" actually accomplishes what it tries to, when most propably we're going to get unintentionally unfunny version instead of the unintentionally funny original...

Antoine Doinel · #946 Post by **Antoine Doinel** » Tue Jul 22, 2008 2:58 am

So this teaches how to protect yourself against rogue gun-toting SWAT officers?

"Let me introduce you to-" (hefts gun) "a personal friend of mine."

The only reality-based thing from that cover is the woman's laundry day outfit.

CSM126 · #949 Post by **CSM126** » Tue Jul 22, 2008 6:08 am

I got plenty of laughs the first time around, thank you very much.

That said, I do like how the zombie apparently made the mistake of peeping through the glory hole and got an eye-full for his troubles.
