James Franco Has Mocked Shia LaBeouf’s “Just Do It” Clip; Is Seemingly Unaware He’s Just As Ridiculous
"JUST POO IT," he screams with a shocking lack of self-awareness.
Last week Shia LaBeouf did what anyone could reasonably expect him to do at this point in his career and starred in an obscure student art project which involved him screaming in front of a green screen for 30 minutes. We watched it all before showing it to you and, honestly, it’s precious squandered time we will never, ever get back.
But, in smaller doses, the clip seems to be a lot more palatable and a short segment that sounds like “the most intense motivational speech of all time” has since gone viral. With more than 3 million views on YouTube, there’s a simple absurdity to Shia’s “JUST DO IT” speech that many have found appealing. His brute force compels you to stop procrastinating. His bulging eyeballs feed you with the strength to follow your dreams. His gratuitous grunts and threats to grab his groin are even somehow an accurate representation of your frustrated Auspol feels.
Of course, it’s also completely ridiculous and ripe for mockery:
James Franco shared that video to his 3.3 million Twitter followers overnight but, shockingly, there’s actually something funnier than his masterful substitution of the word “do” for “poo”: it seems like James “Batman-Themed Semen Art” Franco has no idea he’s just as weird and pretentious as Shia LaBeouf.
We have published essays trying to wrap our head around the wank that is Franco. The last time we saw him he had reinvented himself as an IRL Subservient Chicken with peanut butter all over his face and was tenderly making out with a sock puppet. He was Shia LaBeouf before Shia LaBeouf was even Shia LaBeouf. He is supercharged Shia. He’s LaBeouf plus dick jokes.
Unless this is an actual potty-training video for painfully hip parents, I have to assume it’s part of an upcoming audiovisual work called RIP self-awareness (poo).
