Apatow's fake sitcom to promote new film

To promote Judd Apatow's new film, Funny People. The sitcom, Yo Teach! stars Mark Taylor (Jason Schwartzman's character in the film) as a hip teacher with a heart. The shorts appear on NBC.com, and DVDs have apparently sold out.

This is an interesting approach to viral marketing of a film.

    • Wait wait, let me guess! An unlikely, goofy and shy, yet lovable main character ends up in a relationship with a man/woman WAY outside their league? Blunt unoriginal quips abound! Can't wait to never see this.

    • ok, so i just watched the little clip from nbc.com, and I can officially say this is amazing. it has two things I love, jason schwartzman and youtube star bo burnham. apatow has just completely sold me. I'm definitely seeing this movie now.

    • This is a very interesting approach, and after reading the article I was linked to through this, I'm pretty excited for Apatow's new film. I never really thought I would be.
