Lou Ferrigno Puts Jason Segel In A Choke Hold
June 1, 2008Something like this technically shouldn’t even be worth writing about, seeing as it’s not even a clip from a movie, but a paparazzi video from the set of a movie. A movie, if I may add, that won’t be coming out until January of next year.
But then again, when said video shows LOU FUCKING FERRIGNO putting a sleeper hold on JASON FUCKING SEGEL, that’s a whole different story.
Although, one of my biggest pet peeves would be the mis-identification of wrestling moves in films. In Me, Myself & Irene, Jim Carrey claims that he was "dropkicked" right in the face by Renee Zellweger, but all it was was a simple high kick to the chin.
I also vaguely remember this recent movie where a character jumps off an elevated surface onto his opponent while shouting "Piledriver!" Okay, first of all, you can’t piledrive someone off the top rope (unless you’re Petey Williams pulling off a ridiculous variant of The Canadian Destroyer). And secondly, it wasn’t even close: said character did a basic jumping forearm smash.
Jason Segel also misses the mark here, although not terribly, when he asks" "Is this the Camel Clutch?"
MISTAKE!
However, one may argue that the repercussions of disrupting oxygen and blood flow to your brain by being put in a sleeper hold could lead to dizziness and the loss of balance and coordination, which could easily make the victim confuse one wrestling maneuver with another. In this case, he may have been referring to the Cobra Clutch, which is a variation of the sleeper, as popularized by Sgt. Slaughter. And since this is JASON FUCKING SEGEL, I’ll give him a pass.
The video was shot from the set of I Love You, Man, which stars Paul Rudd (The 40 Year-Old Virgin, Clueless) as a newly engaged man who sets out to find a best man for his wedding. Jason Segel (Forgetting Sarah Marshall, TV’s How I Met Your Mother) is one of his candidates.
The film co-stars Jamie Pressly (Not Another Teen Movie, TV’s My Name Is Earl), Rashida Jones (TV’s The Office and Unhitched), and Thomas Lennon (Balls of Fury, TV’s Reno 911!), whom you can see in the background shouting "Fuck him up, Lou!"

MAJOR Incredible Hulk Updates from the New York Comic Con
April 22, 2008
So there are these two guys that’ll be making special appearances in the new Incredible Hulk movie. I don’t know if you recognize either of them but they normally go by the names "TONY FUCKING STARK" and "LOU FUCKING FERRIGNO."
At the New York Comic Con over this past weekend, the Incredible Hulk panel showed a clip which featured General Thunderbolt Ross (William Hurt) sitting at a bar, working on a whiskey. A figure then emerges from the shadows, and it’s none other than Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.).
Here’s how their conversation went down, according to the good folks over at IGN who were present at the event:
Stark: "It smells like stale beer in here."
Ross: "You always have such nice suits."
Stark: "I hear you have a little problem."
Dun dun dunnn. This "little problem" is obviously an allusion to our green giant. But at which point during the movie will this scene take place? It hasn’t been confirmed yet but I’m betting that it’ll be shown as bonus footage during or after the end credits. Although, it would be the coolest thing ever if they worked the scenario out during the film itself.
