Zach Galifianakis In “Deep Protest” Over The Hangover 2; Nerd Army Poised To Rise Up

Bradley Cooper. Ed Helms. That other guy. All amazing performers, all great in The Hangover. But let’s be real here: we are all going to see the sequel mainly to be hit with an intense, hairy blast of comedy named Alan. However, currently comedian Zach Galifianakis is “up in arms” over something in The Hangover 2… and we as a people stand behind him.

Galifianakis revealed during the podcast Comedy Death-Ray Radio, “But a movie you’re acting in, you don’t have a lot of control — you just show up and vomit your lines out. I’m not the boss. I’m in a deep protest right now with a movie I’m working on, up in arms about something. But I can’t get the guys to [listen] … I’m not making any leeway.” The podcast’s host Scott Aukerman began to say, “I know you’re filming The Hhhhhhhh … “, before Zach cut him off saying, “It has something to do with a movie I’m working on, yeah. I’ll tell you about it later. It’s very frustrating.”  SHUT IT DOWN. SHUT. IT. DOWN. NOW. Whatever it is bothering our future comedy husband, it has no part being in this film. Pluck it out immediately and replace it with an equal amount of Ken Jeong, because that guy is amazing.

So what could be so grossly offensive as to send a professional joke-teller into a “deep protest”? Some have postulated that it was the recent announcement of Mel Gibson’s cameo in The Hangover 2, which would make sense given that Gibson seems to have completed his transformation into Gollum. We hope those rumors aren’t true, though; we wouldn’t want to see Zach have to go up against Mel. It would be like a velociraptor fighting a Popple.
