Hilarious, especially if you know your Joe.

Once again, Cobra gets the best actors (Crudup and Jones).

I can't believe they were able to get Vinnie Jones to do that.

^ It's not too often you see Vinnie Jones doing "jazz hands".

Loved it. Interesting how FunnyorDie has a better sense of who to cast in roles than a Hollywood studio. I think it's a shame we won't be able to see Lex Luthor portrayed by Jon Hamm in a real Superman movie, as he would be/is perfect in the role.

Yeah...John Hamm could make Luthor a scary badass.

Wow. That was great. It'd be awesome if when G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra were released on BD they were to include that as a special feature.

Julianne Moore as Scarlett was a big shock.

Holy shit that was fucking awesome. I'm in tears from the Vinnie Jones/Destro and Olivia Wilde/Baroness clarinet thing.

That Sgt. Slaughter thing did me in. I can't believe all he does is that triangle.

Wow. Thanks for the laugh!

Vinnie Jones is the high point and Sgt. Slaughter just puts a bow on the whole thing.

I loved the Joe cartoons, but that just didn't make me laugh at all.

It's also owned by Will Ferrell and his producing partner Adam McKay, so they often get their friends involved.
