Easy A trailer, you guys:
Sure, the sexy high school comedic romp is a classic stand-by, and every generation has theirs. But this? This is just a bunch of lies. Here are some:
- Cam Gigandet is not in high school, because Cam Gigandet is 55 years old.
- Same for Emma Stone and Penn Badgley. High School? They probably pay mortgages on homes that they own themselves!
- Also, Emma Stone is not and has never been a nerd. Sorry! I know how hard it must be to not be able to hide the fact that you are attractive and people are attracted to you!
- Having fake sex with a gay nerd at a shitty party would not make you cool. It would make you sad.
- Having fake sex with a bunch of gay nerds wouldn’t make you even more cool. It would make you the saddest.
- Besides, no homo, but I don’t think gay high schoolers in California need to have fake straight sex to be cool anymore. They are too busy being openly gay in a community that is totally fine with it, and working on their F.I.T. application portfolios or whatever.
- No one would think that Scarlet Letter shit was clever or funny.
- Because no one would ever see it. Because that would never happen. And it’s not ironic that you were studying the book. You are in high school and that is a famous book. That’s not what irony means. Are we seriously still struggling with that word?
- Kids who are in high school in 2010 don’t make Judy Blume references.
- This wasn’t in the trailer, but since this is a movie about high school it bears repeating: vampires are not real.
It’s just disappointing because if there is one thing that the sexy high school comedic romp genre has always prided itself on, it’s honesty and believability.

Pretending to have sex was one of my favorite parts of high school. Of course, unlike in Easy A, none of my imaginary partners were ever in on it.
I upvoted this, then scrolled down and upvoted Ian’s comment. Then I realized I was exclusively upvoting masturbation-related posts.
I don’t know why I’m sharing that, but I think I learned a lot about my psyche today.
Upvoting masturbation-related comments was one of my favorite parts of high school.
Don’t upvote yourself or you’ll go blind.
I’m upvoting you with my eyes.
Why is this comment not through the roof? This batch of comments = Easy A
I sat on my hand until it fell asleep, then I used it to upvote.
One time my brother walked in on me upvoting myself. WORST. DAY. EVER.
Would you upvote me? I’d upvote me.
I THINK MAYBE SOME TEENS NEED TO HEAR ABOUT THE DANGERS OF GAYNERDSEX, FROM SOMEONE WHO DANCED THE CHARLESTON THEMSELVES AT ONE POINT.
Well back when Gabe was at high school, it was a very long time ago. Because he’s old and stuff.
Was that right?
In the blog post above, Gabe wrote the words “no homo” which means the videogum monster trolls will now throw him under the bus and write long comments about how he is not a PC commentator, etc etc blaaahhhh zzzzzzzz
Can somebody fake lay Steve Winwood already? 1 2 3…NOT IT!
To be fair I’ve pretended to have sex with Emma Stone a bunch of times and it was awesome
Emma Stone is older than me.. does this mean I can still date high school chicks?
I think there was a Judy Blume reboot recently, so references are valid again.
There was. It was called High School Musical 2: Electric Boogaloo
Judy Blume to host SNL?!
That IS what we do now, right?
are high schoolers still into sex and nerds? man i am getting old.
i think the problem is, high schoolers are all nerds who dream about sex. nothing really ever changes about that.
not that i’m talking from personal experience or anything.
i watched the entire thing with the sound off (stuck in the library, pretending that i am going to write my final for latin american political development, ho hum). but i didn’t even have to read gabe’s summary of the events to figure it out! pretty soon i imagine you won’t have to have dialogue at all in movies!
I don’t care how old he is, Cam Gigandet is pretty.
I’m just glad all the actors have an A in their names.
I think my head just exploded
So THAT’S why Stanley Tucci stole the JK Simmons part. Now we have two bald and awesome character actors slumming in cool, sardonic-yet-empathetic dad roles to put food on their families.
I was just about to say – what would they have done if one of them didn’t? Thank God Emily Blunt is 10 minutes too old to play a high schooler!
I think this movie will be funny.
Ironically = coincidentally. Apparently.
You’re using the Alanis Morrisette definition, I see.
Ironically.
Easily 95% of the population believes that ironically = coincidentally. This annoys me every single time. There’s nothing you can do about it either. Pointing out when people use it incorrectly never works, and you just look like some kind of a grammar douche. For all intensive purposes (ha – I see this all the time too) you just have to accept that it now means coincidentally to everyone.
Including 100% of sports announcers.
“Fuckin’ literary elements, how do they work?”
I KNOW. But it doesn’t just mean coincidentally anymore either, it means “that’s funny” or “weird” or “annoying” which almost makes me PINE for the days when it only meant “coincidentally.” It’s also irritating when you want to point out something that really is ironic. I’ve taken to saying “that’s such a cruel irony” instead of “ironic” because, as you pointed out, “ironic” just means coincidentally, while “irony” hasn’t been corrupted yet. Yet.
Exactly. In some cases it seems like people sort of get that they don’t know how to use it appropriately, so they just throw it out there and see if it works:
“I saw this dog that looks like your dog the other day, but it was black, ironic, huh?”
“Umm are you asking me? Because, no, no that’s not ironic.”
“But it was, cause I was just thinking about your dog.”
“No. That’s barely coincidental, and it’s not really funny or weird either. It’s just something you saw and then told me, that’s all. Leave it at that”.
Well, life has a funny way of helping you out.
i believe you meant to say “all intensive PORPOISES”
no problem. it happens.
Ha ha, on no she didn’t. No she did not. That was totally realistic. The lady said “There’s a higher power you’ll be judged by”, and then Emma Stone was like “Tom Cruise?”
Topical, so topical and fresh. This movie has everything I want in it, except for a wise talking racist robot.
I think this movie looks OK and the Lady Gaga song actually helped. No hate here. Down vote away!
Not that I will actually ever see it or anything like that…
I’m excited and I am going to see it! As you said, downvote away! Still pumped, even though Dan Humphrey is the worst leading man!
I’m with you! They’re always doing Shakespeare adaptations for high school rom coms — it’s about time they did Hawthorne. Next up, “The House of Seven Biebers.”
“Blithdale High School” where nerds and popular kids attend the same parties.
Right but… they forgot to look up “adultery” in the dictionary. It’s only adultery if you are married. So the entire concept fails.
I’m sorry to say, but I agree with you.
The movie has some good and funny actors, like Dan Byrd (Cougar Town) and Stanley Tucci ( He was good in Julia and Julie. But the movie was awful) .
Kinda reminds me of Mean Girls, with a good girl (slightly redheaded?) becoming a popular girl (slut?) in image then reality.
Thoughts?
Whatever, letters on shirts are ALWAYS funny.
hossenfeffer incorporated
So not-actually-having sex with people that are not married and that nobody else wants to have sex with anyways means that you need to wear a scarlet “A” for “adultery”? why not just a “W” for “what the hell”?
Not having paid attention to the movie’s title, I was fully expecting an “S for SLUT,” so the A was extra-surprising!
Can we all just agree that Amanda Bines is a pie-faced monster?
I will not! Amanda Bynes is the Bob Hope of our generation!
She is no Mandy Moore.
When will hollywood learn that nerds don’t go to parties. They have maybe one or two close friends that they spend too much time with and secretly hate. These friends are almost unilaterally the same gender. They might sneak into a party every once in a while, but they usually just get inappropriately drunk or scratch their elbows in the corner. They don’t have frighteningly loud fake sex.
Also Gabe, you’re crazy if you think California high schools is this beacon of tolerance with open homosexuals walking with their head held high and ice cream water falls (its too hot for ice cream). I assume it depends on region, like San Francisco is probably pretty open to it, but I’m not sure anywhere else in California is that tolerant at all. Or are many high school students emotionally strong enough yet to be who they are.
Why is everyone going on about the nerds in this trailer? I didn’t see any, because no one was wearing glasses! So how can there possible have been nerds?
Touche
Furthermore, do unpopular kids get picked on by popular kids? Wouldn’t that make them … popular? As in, people know who they are? I’m not saying bullying doesn’t happen in high school, but doesn’t it usually happen within social circles?
This has been a thorn in my pop culture side for at least a decade now.
Yeah, you’re right. There was a burn book in my school, a la Mean Girls, and I remember I was offended that I wasn’t in it.

i am super excited for the inevitable fourth sequel!
stupid links gone make me mad.
I think I just upvoted every single comment in this post. Should I photoshop a red A onto my avatar?
That would be my favorite meme (is it a meme?) ever. Upvote sluts!
To clarify, that’s “upvote” as a noun, not a verb.
I just gave everyone some easy A* – Male Upvote Slut FTW

9 classes together since Kindergarten? As in, 9 classes together over the course of 12 years?
Is that actually a lot? Because, and I’m not completely sure how school scheduling goes in California, I don’t think it is.
emma stone is pretty.
I’m sorry guys, I had to. I’ve never done a “say a female actress is pretty before steve winwood does” before!
It’s okay, it was your first time.
Or was it?!?!?
and now he’s super popular
This brings back horrible memories of when that group of kids protested MY sleeping around in high school.
But you know, what can you do. Kids will be kids I guess!
Of course kids in 2010 make Judy Blume references, just like kids in 2007 make Iggy and the Stooges references… clearly a writer of this brilliance must come from the Cody School of Cheap and Unnecessary Pop Culture References that only the Author and their Decrepit Generation would Appreciate.
