Comedy Porn at Vanity Fair

0309vanityfair.jpg

Is Vanity Fair running out of cover concepts? The magazine is giving their sultry Tom Ford/Keira Knightley/Scarlett Johansson cover a comedy makeover, replacing Ford with Paul Rudd, and the ladies with Jonah Hill and ex-Freaks and Geeks Seth Rogen and Jason Segel. (Rogen will also be gracing the cover of Playboy in the near future.) Check out video of the shoot, and more photos from inside the issue (which includes Amy Poehler, but not Tina Fey—who is #1 on this list). The mag declares their subjects are "Comedy’s New Legends," but who are they missing?

Am I the only one who thought SJo looked extremely awkward in that pose? It must have been so uncomfortable!

Yes, I agree. I volunteer to lie underneath for extra support.

Yeah, anyone would look akward sprawled out against Mr. Shallowpants and Pretention McSkeletor.

It would have been much funnier without the skinsuits.

A hell of a lot funnier!

Furthermore, VF took a good bit of flack because of the sexist undertones in the original photo and having these fellows naked would have made for a good tongue-in-cheek mea culpa.

Certainly you're not saying you want to see any of those men naked, do you?

I think I speak for a lot of women when I say we'd like to see Paul Rudd naked. The rest, not so much. But it would still be funnier if they were naked. It looks stupid with the bodysuits.

Only with Tom Ford still in the picture...

"Is Vanity Fair running out of cover concepts?"

Is this really something a journalist asks knowing VF's history of re-imagining their own covers?
