Nov 8 2007'Alvin and the Chipmunks' Full Trailer!
As awful as I realized Alvin and the Chipmunks would be from its Jamie Kennedy-esque attempt at hip-hop parody, vague allusions to HBO programming, and literal shit eating, this new trailer for the film updates me as to many other terrible things it will include. Such as:
- David Cross. Normally, the inclusion of the hilarious David Cross would be a positive, but seeing him in this crap-cake is equivalent to watching your favorite band play at a Taco Bell. Nice to see them, but why there, among the rodents? This is below you, no matter what the compensation.
- The chipmunk voices have gone up about five octaves, now reaching the point of completely unbearable.
- Besides the aforementioned shit-eating joke, there are also fart-in-the-face jokes.
- According to descriptions of each chipmunk I'm given in the trailer, Alvin is a flamboyantly seductive hula hooper, Simon has a servant fetish, and Theodore is a nocturnal frotteur.
- The chipmunks are almost always naked. Which wouldn't be that weird for animals, except they're constantly being portrayed as bizarrely sexual.
Basically, unless you want your kids to become feces-obsessed perverts, I wouldn't recommend taking them to Alvin and the Chipmunks. Thanks for the tip, Kyle.

Thanks for the public service announcement. I am so offended by oversexed chipmunks that I'm going out and run over a squirrel. I have to have some sense of safety or I can't sleep at night.

I have to say finding my favorite band performing at Taco Bell would actually be pretty damn cool.

What the... how long did it take you to grab that particular frame? I bet if I look at that pic for more than 2 seconds, I can see chipmunk a-hole and nuts.... I did! GAH!

Are we talking about the same David Cross? With a few exceptions he works almost exclusively as a secondary character in this kind of moronic comedy crap-fest. And yet for some reason, every time we see him in a new trailer for exactly the same thing, everyone is somehow shocked.

I wonder how many cats are going to die when kids start putting them in the dishwasher for a bath after seeing this movie

WTF?!? Why was I seeing commercials for this a few months ago? I thought we were already past the worst of this.
