On the ranking of fictitious schools I would love to see in reality, the Michael Cera School of Acting is easily in the top 3 (Hogwarts is the perpetual reigning champion). I feel like I must come clean with you, PopWatchers: I am a big Michael Cera fan. There’s something about his awkward charm that has made me a devotee since the first time I saw little George Michael gaze longingly at Maeby on Arrested Development. I even watched Year One! Thus, my love for all things Cera has made me super excited all day about a video advertisement for the Michael Cera School of Acting that has been circulating the Interwebs this morning:
If this school were to ever exist, I will gladly lend my talents to teach aspiring Cera-followers how to interact with women. I can even make a great awkward-off judge.
Maybe this is a video that should’ve been created a couple of years ago when Juno and Superbad turned Michael into a serious movie actor. (You know, around the time when Cera-fatigue seemed to set in.) But really, there’s no wrong time for anything Michael Cera. Think of it this way, Cera fans, this video can hold you over in a winter with no projects on the big screen until the hopeful and uber-long awaited Arrested Development movie or the rumored starring role in the big screen Gilligan’s Island remake.
Maybe we should get him a wedding ring…tone.
lol you like him and you like this video…you do realize that the video is making fun of him right?
his charm wore off the 3rd time he played an awkward teen looking for love.
Nice concept, but they could have done so much more with it.
