The viral video campaign for Funny People launched with a fake TV show of Jason Schwartzman's character called Yo, Teach!. Now director Judd Apatow and company have created a website for Adam Sandler's character of George Simmons, a comedian who has had quite the fictional career. The website contain a biography of the character along with posters and video clips of his fake movies, not unlike the Tropic Thunder viral campaign of fake movie trailers from last year.
While only posters exist for the fake movies of Mer-Man and My Best Friend Is a Robot, there are clips from Dog's Best Friend and Re-Do. Best Friend has Sandler, or Simmons really, playing a cop teamed up with the best police dog on the force, while Re-Do shows how a wish for youth has gone horribly wrong.
