Something about Judd Apatow’s film Funny People got me thinking. The director pretty much gathered some of the most popular comedic talents he could find with all different types of skills and demeanors and put them in the same movie. While I agree with his choices I couldn’t help think about all the different type of comedians there are out there and what makes each of them so special?
Below are 8 different types of comedians who did not snag themselves a spot in Funny People, but are in fact some of the most funny people out their. Check out our list of actors below…

Funnyman Bill Hader can soon be seen in this month’s Adventureland, and every week on Saturday Night Live. In the past two years Hader has been making his mark in feature film by popping up in such hits as Superbad and Tropic Thunder. According to FilmSchoolRejects he’s on his way to co-starring in another feature alongside British powerhouses Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.
We previously reported that Pegg and Frost were teaming up for the Greg Mattola comedy Paul. The film centers on “two British comic book geeks who travel together across the United States, experiencing the highlights of American culture along the way.” Not only will the actors star in the film, but they also co-wrote the script. In a recent interview Hader spoke about Paul and the possibility of him making an appearance.

I don’t pay attention to major fashion magazines. I’m more into film trades or a good novel from time to time. Yet, every once in a while there’s that “special edition” or “collector’s issue” that comes out and gets me every time. This year my guilty pleasure is the latest issue of Vanity Fair. The above photo is just one of the many satirical images that feature some of today’s most popular funny men and women. The magazine highlights who they consider to be the new comedy legends of this generation. Some of their picks include actors who’ve just made their mark in recent years, while others have been around for ages.
More on Vanity Fair and the comedy legends photo spread after the jump.

Staring Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart, Bill Hader, Kristen Wig, Ryan Reynolds, this is sure to be one of the best comedies of the summer. The film is based off a rich kid who is forced to get a job at an Amusement Park. The film is set in 1987, because let’s face it, the 80’s were awesome. Although the last trailer was fun, we didn’t get everything they had to offer…
Now we get to find out how many different ways they can say “fuck!” Check it out in the trailer below…

Quick! Tell me the first thing you think of when I say Judd Apatow. I’m guessing that most likely your response is something along the lines of: Comedy? Producer? Seth Rogen? Acid trip? Stoner? I’m guessing you would have to go through a lot of those before you got to “horror film Director.” Apparently Apatow has been so successful with the comedy genre that he’s going to take a stab (pun intended) at a slasher flick.
According to Empire, Bill Hader, collaborated with fellow SNL writer Simon Rich, to write a horror script specifically for Apatow to Direct. They describe the film as, “Partially Straw Dogs meets Halloween meets Home Alone meets Monster Squad.” Sounds interesting. Hader goes on to say:

Superbad director Greg Mottola introduces a trailer for his new film Adventureland. Co-starring Kristen Stewart (AKA The girl from Twilight), Ryan Reynolds, Bill Hader, Kristen Wiig and Martin Star the film is based off a rich kid who is forced to get a job at an Amusement Park. The film is set in 1987, because let’s face it, the 80′s were awesome. With plenty of awkward teenage coming of age jokes (still can’t get that “dance/grind” scene from Superbad out of my head no matter how hard I try) and a sweet little love story to boot, looks like Mottolaay may have made another awesome teen comedy for all ages.
Check out the trailer below…
