Big fan of Judd Apatow
If you're not familiar with the movie producer and film maker Judd Apatow, chances are you've probably seen at least one of his movies. He is largely responsible for the following comedy blockbusters: "Anchorman", "40 Year Old Virgin", "Knocked Up", "Superbad", and most recently, "Pineapple Express".
One of my most favorite TV shows of all time was also produced by Apatow, "Freaks and Geeks". Most people have probably never heard of the show since it unfortunately aired around the same time as that horribly overrated drama show known as "Dawson's Creek" (I apologize to any fans of the show, but I simply can't stand to watch it or any other television series that seems generically similar).
A hilarious clip from a "Freaks and Geeks" episode... (turn the volume up to hear it)

If you watch all of the video, you'll notice two rising celebrity stars in their early years as very young adults, Jason Segel and Seth Rogen. Rogen of course from "Knocked Up" and "Pineapple Express", and Jason Segel from "Forgetting Sarah Marshall", all of which are films produced by Judd Apatow. Another famous actor from "Freaks and Geeks" that had their starting career in the show is James Franco, who plays the Green Goblin's son in "Spider-Man" and also Saul, the drug dealer from "PE" with Seth Rogen.
When I first saw this epsiode, I was laughing so hard when Millie (the girl singing and playing the piano) decided to come to the party and "have more fun sober than everyone else. "
She's so innocent and head strong about not drinking alcohol that she ends up being entertaining as she preaches, "Jesus is just alright with me, Jesus is just alright, oh yeah!"
Does anyone know anybody who acts like that? Hahaha....
