Watch Kevin Kline and Mike Myers in Marginally Funny 'Oscar Etiquette' Promo
Another Oscars promo video, another vain attempt to show some personality and pep by the Academy; this time around the Oscars have tapped Mike Myers to do an uppity butler type straight out of the discards of the Austin Powers supporting character brainstorming boards, who teaches Oscar winner Kevin Kline the proper way to hold his statuette. If this kind of humor tickles you silly and makes you set your TV calendar for Sunday, then hold on to your pants and chill a few cans of Ensure!
We are in for a riot, people. I mean, what says hilarious and relevant more than KEVIN KLINE and MIKE MYERS??
Sigh. It's not even funny to joke about how unfunny these bits are. I refuse to believe this is really the best that Funny or Die could do with the Oscars. Given the choice, I vote "Die."

At least it was shorter than the Love Guru.
Egads. I choose "Die" as well. What was with Myers's hair hanging down like that? Is that some butler fad that I'm not aware of?
I was unaware that someone still took these Hollywood mutual admiration events seriously. To see self-deprecating humor like this is refreshing, and grounding.
All I have to say about that is "asphinctersayswhat".
