Kanye West loves connect four, we all know that, but he also loves playing the game with actors from Judd Apatow comedies, namely Jonah Hill (“Superbad,” “Knocked Up,”). Next week, parcheesi with Michael Cera, followed by Uno with Paul Rudd.
When asked in a separate interview who Judd Apatow, Jonah Hill or Michael Cera was, the entire rest of the hip-hop community had no clue what we were talking about. So far, Milton Bradley has not reached out to West for any endorsement deals, but the year is still young.
The best part of this riveting clip is one woman saying about Jonah Hill, “OMG, is he going to play connect four? You’re going to lose,” with genuine concern and interest. Then Hill hilariously breaks down the IQ needed to play the game (and presumably insults West). “This is like chess for dumb people. Let’s sit down and play a ‘thinking man’s game’. ” LOL.
But then it gets worse. At one point Kanye puts on Lil Wayne’s “Lollipop” really loud (a wretched new single, sorry Weezy) – basically as impending victory music – and yes, this is a clip from FunnyorDie (or wait is it?) – but if he’s fucking around to try and make a joke it doesn’t translate and he comes off hilariously as taking himself too seriously (gee, that’s never happened before).
