At What Point Did You Click Away From this James Franco Commencement Parody?
I think we can all agree that sometime within the last year, James Franco ascended to the title of "Liked By All." Pineapple Express, Milk, gay student films, the Apatow segment during the Oscars...it was a great run there, wasn't it? And certainly, in theory, his latest endeavor sounds like it should be a gas, too: a Funny or Die video poking fun at the UCLA commencement he famously backed out of.
And it is a gas! But not really a "laughing gas"-type gas...more of a "I'm being gassed" gas. Five and a half minutes of Franco improv should not feel this much like an endurance test! Guys, just call these the leaked "outtakes" and edit the whole thing down to a lean minute and a half (including, naturally, his defiant cry of "Who doesn't fuckin' fall asleep in class?"). Keep the streak alive!

Call me easy, but I sat through the whole thing and enjoyed myself.
Easy! There, I said it.
My brain is numb, I got halfway through before I remembered I have a life and went back to living it.
Would be better shirtless.
I'm not watching it. I enjoy liking him (based on nothing besides his looks and personality cuz I never go see his movies.)
I thought it was funny haha, "who dosent fall asleep in class" or the barak obama thing, or at the end when he says "fuuuck" hilarious 😀 hahaha I loved it
Normally I don't care about other people's typos, but he is our president, and his name is Barack Obama.
