Jamie Foxx Is The Fourth Member Of Lonely Island, Apparently

Jamie Foxx's new music video for "Blame It (On The Alcohol)" is FUCKING INSAAAAAANE.

I was already laughing at Jake Gyllenhaal but then they showed Ron Howard and I farted so hard my head exploded. WHAT? What is this? FUCK LAND, JAMIE FOX IS ON A BOAT, MOTHERFUCKER. This is the best. Ron Howard went home and told his children (who are themselves all in their mid-60s) that he is a "pimp" now. "Right, children, isn't that how you say it?" "Shut up, dad, we're doing our taxes!"

SPOILER ALERT: it was Jamie Foxx in the panda suit the whole time.

On a side note, I can't wait until Stealth 2: Plane, Interrupted comes out. (Get it? Because the plane is crazy. Like this music video.)

I'm really surprised Brody Jenner wasn't in this.

Ron Howard might be the only white man over 50 to appear on BET.

fucking lame. with this and the missed WMAT post, i'm beginning to think this site was bought up by some corporate conglomerate or otherwise evil entity and now the people who write for Anderson Cooper are posting as Gabe.

I guess it worked, since I actually just watched an entire video of Jamie Foxx singing.

Also, if you have like $30, I bet T-Pain will sing a Videogum post in AutoTune.

The absolute best part of the video is that there is no discernible change in tone of voice when J. Foxx and T-Pain switch...incredible talent.

the craziest part of this video is this video is that america just elected its first black president, yet the country is so racist that when some hack actor with a tattoo on the back of his dome throws a couple random white celebrities in his music video full of random black celebrities people freak the fuck out. wow, random. CRAAAAAAAAAZINESSSSSSSS.

Pig Lamp

This is so heavily produced that J-Foxxxxx and T-Pain sound exactly the same. Seriously though, who cast this? More seriously though, can we all please party with Ron Howard and Forrest Whitaker?

oh man, i had so many good points to make but everyone else made them already.

though i don't see what's weird about this red-light party and its guest list. it just makes sense, i think. yeah, sure, ron howard, quincy jones, jaime foxxxx, jake gyllenhaal, bill bellamy...i mean, yeah. duh. just the usual suspects, hangin' like they always do, with t-pain.

i love it when rich people go crazy! there's no crazy like rich crazy because rich crazy has enough money to make hats out of melted down silver instead of tin foil!

is it true that jamie foxx is actually copying kanye? vocoder, washed out colours, limp 'heart' beat, sunglasses, celeb-dropping, even the panda head reminded me of the bear from kanye's album covers. LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME

He used these actors in his video because all of them had some kind of alcohol related arrest at some point...yes even Ritchie Cunningham. Duh! "Blame it on the Alcohol"
