This following clip is one of the only parts of the VMA’s that made me laugh in a “this is a funny comedy scene” kind of way instead of the much more prevalent “this is so rockbottom it’s hilarious” kind of way. Jonah Hill’s attempt to trick Britney Spears into kissing him was funny, but the part that really got me was how he immediately turns things around on her as if she’s the one stalking him. It’s classic Jonah. I love how he says he’s got a lunch date with Jeremy Irons and the Jonas Brothers, along with his subtle promo of the Verizon Chocolate.
Dare I venture to say that this sketch is also an allegory of our own twisted relationship with Britney? I don’t. But I do admit that I haven’t seen Britney sparkle like this in quite some time.
