There's Always Money in the Banana Stand

I like this parody clip more than many parts of "Knocked Up." Anything with George Michael (Michael Cera, of "Arrested Development" fame) slays me. For future discussion: When did directors start filming parody scenes during the filming of the movie? My guess is that this started happening when directors realized that they could throw bonus materials on DVDs.

(For those that haven't seen the movie, Cera is in another Judd Apatow movie and just filmed this scene as if he had been hired for the lead role in "Knocked Up." There is a similar scene with Seth Rogan as the lead in the actual movie.)

For people who enjoy this kind of thing, see also James Franco of "Superman" and "Freaks and Geeks" doing a similar "fake take":
