Parker Posey slams ‘frat boy movies’
Actress Parker Posey has hit out at Hollywood’s obsession with male ‘frat boy humor”, branding it sexist.
The star doesn’t understand the current popularity of movies like Knocked Up and Superbad.
She says, “There’s so much frat boy humor out there now. This whole Judd Apatow craze - I don’t like it. It excludes girls, and it doesn’t do anything particularly great for our culture. Getting wasted, throwing up, ignoring your girlfriend, who gets that? I consider myself funny, and I don’t (get it).”

I love those movie and after seeing the pilot of her new show last week on FOX she might want to rethink about calling herself as a funny person.

I don’t like toilet humor, either. Not funny. IMHO true comedy requires a bit of intelligence, and those “frat boy” movies just don’t have it.
