Vince Vaughn has FINALLY rebroken his still legendary silence in regards to the continuing non-troversy over the “gay joke” in his absolutely horrendous looking new movie, The Dilemma. As you may recall, there is a really stupid joke about electric cars being gay in Vince Vaughn’s just abysmal looking absolutely abysmal movie, The Dilemma, directed by Ron Howard, which upset some gay rights activists, forcing Universal to recut the movie’s trailer (as if there is any way to recut that trailer to make that movie look like anything other than an absolute disaster). Eventually, Vince Vaughn, realizing that he could remain silent on the issue forever and no one would care NO LONGER, spoke up about the joke, insisting that he stood behind it. Whatever. The end, right? Nope! Because now Ron Howard has announced that he is keeping the joke in the movie–fair enough, it’s not going to change the fact that no one is going to see that movie because even Americans have some self-respect when it comes to their eyes–and so once again, notorious recluse Vince Vaughn has come out of his monastic hideaway to stand up for Terrible Joke Rights. From the Hollywood Reporter:
“I’m glad to hear it’s staying the movie,” the actor said on the Q100 Bert Radio Show Wednesday, referring to a scene in the film in which he says “electric cars… are gay.” After GLAAD objected, Universal pulled the line from a trailer, but director Ron Howard later defended the scene, explaining that Vaughn’s character “has a mouth that sometimes gets him into trouble…we never expected [the joke] to represent our intentions or the point of view of the movie or those of us who made it.”
Continued Vaughn on the radio, “It wasn’t a derogatory term…We clarified within the joke [that it was] not ‘homosexual-gay’ but, you know, your parents are chaperoning a dance.”
GOOD GOD, GIVE IT A REST ALREADY, VINCE VAUGHN! The problem with that joke is less that it’s potentially offensive to the homosexual community and more that it’s a TERRIBLE JOKE. Which makes sense because of how The Dilemma looks like a particularly TERRIBLE MOVIE. But also, please, Vince Vaughn, for the love of double-cheeseburgers, shut up! The worst part is when he insists that this lazy joke about electric cars being gay “ultimately, it brings us together, it makes us more comfortable.” Haha. WHAT? Relax. Relax and shut up! Shut up shut up shut up your puffy face! (P.S. I actually like you in movies, Vince Vaughn. But seriously, you shut it!)

Oh, ho. His mouth gets him in trouble! Know who else’s mouth gets them in trouble? The Klan. But we don’t make them comedy heroes.
This reminds me of something. I am obsessed with my Prius, so I looked for a Prius group to join on facebook (embarrassing). When I looked, the only thing I could find was pages referring to Prius’s as gay. And I was like, WHY ARE THERE SO MANY SAME GROUPS. The answer: this is a reoccurring Jeff Dunham joke.
So basically, this movie plagiarized Jeff Dunham. It is going to be the worst.
If I’m not mistaken, Jeff Dunham actually WROTE the screenplay. Also, puppets.
Did you find that at nightmare.gif?
I would be content if I could upvote that gif for the rest of my life. I’m in class trying to stifle my laughter like an idiot during some poor group’s presentation right now. Thunderbirds are so much less gay then Priuses (Priusi?)
Stifle that laughter. STIFLE IT!
Consider it partially stifled.
REAL AND OFFENSIVE.
Happy monsters?
the first 2 sentences of this post had me thinking it was another one of those “…and that’s how i met my black boyfriend” spam posts…
I met my black boyfriend through our mutual love of Pokemon.
“It wasn’t a derogatory term…We clarified within the joke [that it was] not ‘homosexual-gay’ but, you know, your parents are chaperoning a dance.” ……….my two dads both chaperoned my high school homecoming dance and it wasn’t gay at all….
Except when they started a dance off with some kids who took up break dancing after seeing Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo…..needless to say the kids got served, and I was mortified.
Describing an electric car as your parents chaperoning a dance is actually a way better joke than saying it’s gay. Saying it’s gay is just lazy.
Gabe, are you and Vince fighting again? Maybe the two of you need to go to a Couples Retreat to work out your problems. Or else you could just stop being such electric cars.
Yes Gabe. What happened to your greatly inspired posts telling us to not be mad and just chill out? Yet, here you are, CAPS LOCKING all over the place. And about what exactly? Mel Gibson’s beaver! Vince Vaughn!
Relax Gabe, relax.
This kid has the right idea.
“Earmuffs! Now you can say anything, COCK! BALLS!”
Ugh, I really need to learn how to post pictures, then I can get more upvotes too…..
Just copy the URL and post it in the comment box! It’s easy and FUN!
Make sure it ends in .jpg or .gif
Thank you! I’ll be sure to do it next time….right now I’m trying (and failing) to write some music….which is why I’ve commented at least 5 times in the past 30 minutes. Procrastination-gum.
Now if only thekelburrows’ avatar of Vince Vaughn would weigh in, then everyone will have had their say.
You know what I like better than the fact that Baby Friday knows I exist? Nothing.
Not even ‘motorboating’?
I do love me some motorboating…
I was going to guess raspberries. Or ppppfffffttttbbbbbb.
You motorboating sonofabitch…
Also, this is me right now:
Look, Baby Friday! I am right here!!!! THIS IS CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not shutting up. Nope. Sorry
Excellent. Now we’re all set.
what a fag.
Yup. And I maintain that Steve Winwood is pretty.
That is totally the WRONG kind of gay…no electric cars there.
Maybe he said “guay”. That’s Spanish for “cool”. (No…he didn’t.)
“Why are people being so gay about this?”
-Vince Vaughn
Obviously, he’s been losing sleep over this.
Because of the bags under his eyes? Come on Monsters give me at least one upvote!
I’m GLAAD we can put this fued to an end now.
Is fued the gay version of feud…?
If his mouth gets him into this kind of trouble, I can’t imagine the trouble his chins gets him into.
Which one? ZING
Ugh, mainly he always has a slightly sour milk smell because he never remembers to wipe his under-chin off after he slurps the milk from the bottom of the cereal bowl.
I think the thing that’s getting you into more trouble, Vince, is what you’re putting into your mouth. It’s funny because he looks like he gained a few pounds.
My “fake” jokes are even funnier.
We are all just working with very different definitions of the words “gay” and “joke” here.
I love my electric car and my sister. Would I marry them? That’s weird! Marriage was meant to be between a man and diesel truck. It’s in the bible.
“It wasn’t a derogatory term…We clarified within the joke [that it was] not ‘homosexual-gay’ but, you know, your parents are chaperoning a dance.”
Well gee, thanks for clearing up a misunderstanding that didn’t exist at all. Like are the offended parties suddenly going to go oh! He didn’t mean homosexual-gay he just meant gay as in kind of shitty. Totally okay then. Carry on Mr. Vaughn.
No homo.
Yes, because there is nothing derogatory about using a term for a certain person as an insult.
Plus everytime my parents chaperoned a dance gay people had sex, silly Vince Vaughn
Vince Vaughn is like a fine wine. Only assholes like him.
I may disagree with your terrible jokes, Vince Vaughn, but I will defend to the death my right to not see them.
Because seriously, folks, I would rather set $10.00 on fire than pay to see this movie.
I would rather save $10.00 sensibly than pay to see this movie.
What’s funny is that the name ‘Vince Vaughn’ is SO a gay porn name. Also, I’d rather he make a million offensive gay jokes, than make one movie.
I’m glad he said that because it confirms the exact opposite of what Ron Howard was arguing — that it was “his character” that fails to see what’s offensive about the term. Nope. Vince Vaughn fails to see what’s offensive about the term. But we knew that already.
“Gay jokes… are Vince Vaughn.”
“It wasn’t a derogatory term…We clarified within the joke [that it was] not ‘homophobic-Vince Vaughn’ but, you know, your favorite movie is ‘Couples Retreat.’”
Screenplayer: “Ok, we’ve narrowed it down to two. Let’s see here. We have ‘electric cars are retarded’ and ”electric cars are gay.’”
Vince: “Well I think as long as we clarify that the electric cars are not ‘homosexual gay’ and not ‘developmentally challenged retarded’ then they’re pretty much interchangeable.”
Screenplayer: “So which one do you want to say?”
Vince: “Let’s go with ‘gay.’ That way it’ll be like how your parents chaperoning your prom is gay.”
Screenplayer: “That sounds more lame than gay though.”
Vince: “No, that’s GAY. Now write it up.”
(btw, ‘lame’ is a synonym for ‘disabled’, so even the screenplayer was insensitive. I’m surprised Vince Vaughn didn’t call him on that)
A rare miss, Mr. Vaughn.
How do people (i.e. Vince Vaughn) not get this? Using the word “gay” to describe anything negative puts a negative connotation to the word “gay.” Are people really not smart enough to see this?
THAT IS NOT A DEFENSE! THAT IS A SELF-INDICTMENT!
Gabe I wouldn’t go and say “it’s not going to change the fact that no one is going to see that movie because even Americans have some self-respect when it comes to their eyes.” Obviously you’re forgetting that YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL-TIME Couples Retreat opened at number 1 in the box office with 35 million dollars. This movie will more than likely top that because it has Paul Blart in it too and America does not have any self-respect when it comes to its eyes, ears or mouth.
as far as the eyes part goes Jennifer Connelly and Winona Ryder are in it and my eyes like them a lot
Electric cars are gay. Not homosexual-gay, but, you know, your boyfriend takes you to a Vince Vaughn movie.
Remember when Vince Vaughn all saw Isla Fisher’s boobs I was all “YEAH BRO, DO MORE OF THAT IN MOVIES”
HAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh my god, I can’t stop laughing at this, seriously. Upvoted.
Come on, guys! Negative four?! This is amazing! I’m not being ironic; this is hilarious.
Saw this after walking out of Black Swan and didn’t want to be grossed out more. However, there were lots of things in this movie more offensive and gross than the ‘electric cars are gay joke’.
