Buddy in Bad Teacher trailer

Post by PIStaker »

Went to see Bridesmaids today.
One of the trailers was for the new Cameron Diaz movie.
Did anyone else catch the red Buddy 125 smashing into a parked car?
I looked at every trailer online, but could not find that clip.
***update (FOUND IT!!!)

Did anyone else see it?

:shock: I won't tell Little Bit (my Buddy). He might balk at leaving the garage from now on... :shhh:

He was in a wreck when he was a baby (over 3,000 miles ago), and has recooperated (new handlbars, headlight and several panels) nicely. ...doesn't even seem to have any bad dreams. I really can't be spending money on a therapist for him...make the others jeolous that he'd be getting special attention. :roll:

Who's riding it, I wonder?

Jason Segel is actually an avid scooterist. He rides a Vespa GTV (I think) around town.

I totally agree. Its hard enough to get the respect we deserve and then they make movies showing how clumsy and dangerous a scooter can be. Which is not true.

I think the new Tom Hanks movie will give Scooters a positive spin.

There are plenty of movies in which crashing/dropping a motorcycle is the butt of the same basic joke, from Pee-Wee's Big Adventure to Zombieland. It's pretty much the same joke as someone backing a car into a garage door, row of Harleys, etc. This may be more lazy/cliché writing than knocking scooters.

Of course, what people drive or ride in movies and TV shows is as important as their wardrobe. I always pay attention to which characters drive old Volvos—it's like giving them horn rim glasses.

I haven't seen the movie yet but hear it's pretty damn funny.

He rode his Vespa on "I love you man".

Nothing dorkier than talking smack in the Internet.
