Live Blogging Jimmy Kimmel's Video Response to Sarah Silverman's Brilliant Viral Vid

Let me preface this with the sheer fact that this is the most love I will ever give Jimmy Kimmel, as long as the Earth remains in rotation. I'm Fucking Ben Affleck is laugh out loud funny. It is, hands down, the funniest comedic bit Jimmy Kimmel has ever done. It is, hands down, the funniest comedic bit Jimmy Kimmel will ever do. What makes it funny isn't the blatant cribbing from his girlfriend's genius Dear John (or, Jimmy) video from three weeks prior; it's the sheer number of celebrities within. First, Brad Pitt shows up as a FedEx delivery man with a cake in a box. Then, it morphs into a "We Are the World" re-enactment that was so full of stars, it looked like overflow from a post-Oscars bash thrown by Graydon Carter. Joan Jett. Huey Lewis. That Hobbit from Lord of the Rings who also plays a character on Lost. Members from Fall Out Boy and Good Charlotte chiming in. Macy Gray. Don Cheadle. Freaking Harrison Ford. And Robin Williams with a disturbingly suggestive splash of water to his face. Oh, yeah... and McLovin. Never mind the digitally-obscured sign language from Cameron Diaz; that Josh Grobin moment was hilarious, and Josh Grobin generally rises to the level universal suckiness on the order of Kenny G and Michael Bolton.



A funny little moment, indeed. Just wish Kimmel wouldn't have had Ben Affleck on immediately afterwards to recap how ingeniously funny they thought they were.

Good Lord, Purveyor... Hate much?
