HOT ROD

Hot Rod

Discovering Hot Rod as a young bonce was as thrilling as it gets. I still remember that solitary DVD being passed between households like it was some magic tome. It was a bold newcomer that had a lot to prove in a village where Will Ferrell was so revered that our church did a Christmas service based on Anchorman. But it brought something new to the table. Jokes so dumb that you could not believe your eyes and ears. You’re telling me, that at least several multiple grown adult movie execs gave clearance on an extended punchdance sequence that ends in 45 straight seconds of falling down a hill? On a soundtrack that included four (FOUR!) songs by the Swedish glam rock group Europe? On a character whose entire personality consists of thrusting? COME ON!

Anyway, all my promotional efforts are null and void when compared to the tactics of the Lonely Island themselves: ‘Prior to the film's release, the Lonely Island promoted the film with interstitials during Comedy Central movie marathons. In the promos, the trio attempt to convince viewers that Hot Rod is the story of a sex offender ("He does stunts to raise money to sex-offend”)’

I will neither confirm nor deny these claims, so only one way to find out! ANCESTORS PROTEEECT MEEEE!
