pootie tang and zoolander


I know this is really odd, but I think that there are a lot of comparions to be made between these two movies. Both are really odd/zany comedies. They have similarly strange villains (dirty dee and mugatu). They are both packed with a cast of their own click (zoolander-ben stiller, owen wilson, will ferrell etc. pootie tang- Dave Attel, David Cross, Wanda Sykes, Chris Rock, etc. etc. comedy central more or less) Both Zoolander and Pootie Tang are truly unattractive actors, but are both heralded in their respective movies to have been carved by the Gods. A large amount of the humor for both movies is the ridiculousness in the speech in their respective main characters. Finally, in both cases the movie is either loved by viewers or considered to be too stupid for words. i'm sure there's lots more, but i'm just adding them as they come to mind.

Zoolander was good...but i think that Pootie Tang is far superior. There is no talkin corn in Zoolander.

Yeah those were my two favorite movies that year. But i liked Pootie Tang better

Both movies were alot of fun. I prefer Pootie but I own both and see them not as one over the other but as two movies that make me laugh. I just depends on my mood. These kinds of movies are made all the time. They're usually just throw away almost "Airplane"-ish slapstick. "Anchorman" is another example that's not quite as silly but still comparable.

Zoolander is amazing; hilarious, intelligent, etc.

Pootie Tang is dull and not particularly funny. At all.





And like that....he's gone.

How can they learn to read if they can't even fit inside the building?

...It'll have to be at least... three times bigger than this.
