On the list of things that are not funny, Ask A Ninja ranks many spots higher than Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, a movie that was funny for like 15 seconds when you were twelve. So it’s a stroke of genius to bring the not funny guys behind Ask A Ninja*, the sort of web thing your moronic cubiclemate finds hilarious, to a remake of Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.
Kent Nichols and Douglas Sarine are escaping at the 14th minute of meme fame, but they’re taking their lack of comedy with them. They’re writing the script together, and Nichols will be directing.
” ‘Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!’ is the masterwork of a
generation,” Nichols said. “We can only aspire to recapture that
magic.” See, it’s like post-ironic appreciation of an ironic work of irony or something. Get raped by a pit bull.
What’s kind of great is that the funniest thing about this whole bit of business was a line by Hollywood Reporter’s Gregg Goldstein: ‘No changes to the original plot have been revealed, but it
still is expected to revolve around killer tomatoes.’ See, that’s funny, Nichols and Sarine.
*Why are ninjas and the internet so unamusing together? For further examples, see that Real Ultimate Power site. If you laugh at this shit and you’re not in 6th grade, you’re probably just trying to get in touch with what the 6th graders like so you can rape them better.

"See, it's like post-ironic appreciation of an ironic work of irony or something. Get raped by a pit bull." nice
"If you laugh at this shit and you're not in 6th grade, you're probably just trying to get in touch with what the 6th graders like so you can rape them better." Does that work? Do they really like that stuff? Can't wait to hop on Myspace and send this to ALL my contacts… Just delete my bulletin when you get it, ok Devin. You are the greatest Devin! Thanks for the tips. It is great to learn "the art of seduction" from a master. You would think you could go to jail giving out that kind of info…
Why are there two references to rape in this article. Is rape funny?
No it isn't. Devin leads by example. If he's going to talk about things that are unfunny and lame, then he writes an unfunny and lame article to further illustrate the point.
No, unknown user, rape is not funny.
Unless you're raping a clown, of course.
Two rape jokes in two consecutive paragraphs? You should diversify a bit… you know, like name drop or bitch about variety. 😉
I can prove to you that rape is funny. Picture Porky Pig raping Elmer Fudd. See? Why do you think they call him "Porky"?
Ask a Ninja is hilarious! What the hell, Devin?
Wow Devin…. you like, are so totally obviously jealous that some other internet based dudes just got cashed up and you didnt. Listen i hope Colonels works out and everything but man… deal with your issues.
More shit, bile, and garbage from the mind of Devin Faraci. Kent Nichols and Douglas Sarine are 100X cooler and funnier than Devin.
Devin has proved again and again on Attack of the Show that he has no sense of humor. Or anything intelligent to say.
"I'll eat a man's bread then shit on his face." The internet is full of critics of critics. I hope you get paid as an editor or english teacher for the helpful work you all do on the web.
{Re: Get raped by a pitbull} Please aplologize. It's not so funny when it happens to someone you love.
Your nephew was fucking asking for it.
I get confused. One minute Devin extolls the virtues of trash cinema in his columns, the next he is dismissive in the extreme. One minute it's: "Edgar Wright has rekindled my love of cinema." and "This troll market is fuckin' awesome!" The next it's: "You're all trapped in an extended adolescence". Consistency, please.
Why is Devin so angry? Why is this even an article? A few years ago I remember the first time I saw RealUltimatePower it was hilarious. I'm not sure if Devin really understands comedy, he seems to be an expert on the weepy and rapey.
There is no consistency in Devin's writing because Devin is a fucking disaster of a human being. He's a fanboy that doesn't want t be a fanboy. He's a mass of sweaty self-loathing and failed intellectualism. The ultimate irony here is that he accuses people of being stuck in their adolescence despite the fact that most of his writing comes across as being written by a high school kid that thinks he knows better than everyon else. Devin Faraci is an absolute joke.
Your're so angry.
Yeah, Ask A Ninja is pretty shit, except for that interview with Will Ferrell and Jon Heder, that was gold. Though I have no idea what the point of referencing it is in this article.
Hey Dev! Whatever happened to that GENIUS killer shark flick Chud was going to do with Jan De Bont? No? Oh yeah, never happening. Let's moveon to something more relevent. How's all that hairy,untalented obesity doing?
Angry Mean Panda.. you just destroyed devin. Way to go. If I had been any other person I'da thought that was harsh…
More 'posters with life inhibiting unresolved sexual tension toward Mr. Faraci', please! Angry Mean Panda…we've all seen how your species is hung, so it's now wonder you've got anger issues. Now, go back to wacking off to those Jimmy Fallon SNL update segments you also find oh so hilarious.
Do I detect a little jealousy, Devin? According to Wikipedia the award winning Ask a Ninja dudes have 5 Vloggies under their belt… so, what's your Vloggie count? Zero?
Umm, yeah, Ask a Ninja sucks. I don't know what the fuck a Vloggie is and I don't care, but I'm going to take a crap, film it, and see how many awards Ask My Steaming Pile of Excrement can win.
Devin Faraci: if he doesn't like something and you do he will call you a pederast. You know, the guy who goes trolling myspace for blowjobs from lifeless sows in the bathroom of a dive becoming the cultural arbiter of taste.
Hey, Devin, tell us about the time you watched this shitty flick with an actual woman.
Then tell us why you're a 30-something dude with a rommate and without any significant female companionship.
Don't worry, though. I'm sure whatever exploitation-meets-slacker screenplay you're working on is going to find some real traction.
Wait…with all of you here, who's going to keep 4Chan going now?
I don't know, I think Devin's hypocritical inconsistency is his magic – his articles are like those weird lucky dip candy/chocolate things with a prize inside: one day you'll score an awesome plastic Space Robot Man, the next time it's anal rape.
Except with Devin it is ALWAYS anal rape.
I'm with SciCurious! As a filmmaker, I know the day I can get Devin to call me a sodomist in print is proof that I'm reaching people! Devin's great – he reacts to any kind of art at all with his gut, and he speaks about film from the same place. And if Devin is the first geek you've met with a flair for discussing penises going where they ought not go, go back to Cuba, you pinko!
Devin's not the reason i hate the internet, you talkbackers are
