Behind The Lindsanity

Filed under: Lindsay Lohan

Earlier today we showed you Linday Lohan's latest acting gig - playing herself in a new Funny or Die video.

Now, the FoD video director, Eric Appel, is speaking out about Lindsanity and her clip, praising the trainwreck nonstop. He says Lindsay "wanted to do a Funny or Die video with all the stuff that everyone's saying. She wanted to respond to it in a funny way, show that she gets it."

And according to the people at FoD, it was La Loca Lohan who reached out to them last Wednesday about shooting a spoof.

She probably only agreed to do it if they said it was her idea!

Then, by Thursday, they were going over ideas, had a script the next day, and by Saturday she filmed the less than 2 minute clip in just under two hours after arriving 5 hours late. Appel addis, "She came up with the stuff about being a threat to all security guards — she improvised while doing it. She threw in a bunch of fun, funny stuff."

That's the secret. When you forget your lines, just improvise! We're guessing she improvised almost all of it?

Appel continued, "She came in, did her thing, was really professional. People forget Lindsay Lohan's, like, a good actress. There's so much attention [to everything she does], but…you forget this girl has really good comic timing."

Seriously, who are you trying to kid?

      stop being a douche and admit its pretty funny



    2. 2

      attention whore



    3. 3

      first!



    4. 4

      why does she deep doing that weird thing with her teeth? i dunno she seems like shes on coke, but i still think she has acting talent, she just needs to stop drugging and drinking.



    5. 5

      It was funny and a smart thing for her to do by spoofing herself. It makes everyone else look crazy besides her and I'm sure that was the point!



    6. 6

      good for her at least she sees how ridiculous she's perceived. I do feel bad for her though



    7. 7

      everything on your site is opinionated perez, you weren't at the shoot so therefore you have no inside scoop as to whether Lindsay forgot her lines, or if she actually was professional at this shoot. Why can't you just report the news without your own opinions?! So unprofessional.

    14. 14

      you can see she's a an actress but it was a bit flat wasn't it?



    15. 15

      I KNOW ERIC…kinda!

      UPRIGHT CITIZENS BRIGADE REPRESENT!

      Re: Whitneyleigh144 – Whitney, honey, his opinions are what makes this site what it is. If you want facts without the snark you best check CNN.



    17. 17

      its the truth
      she really is a good actress
      if she would start doing movies again
      let me specify: good movies (ie.mean girls, freaky friday, parent trap, get a clue)



    18. 18

      i think its pretty fucking funny



    19. 19

      Pfffffffft, that shit sucks.



    20. 20

      Seriously, love her, hate you, seriously.



    21. 21

      I think it was adorable and funny. Good for her!



    22. 22

      Lindsay is a great actress Perez!!! Im so thrilled she went back 2 red…



    23. 23

      lol i thought it was funny.. ?



    24. 24

      I didn't think it was funny AT ALL. I don't think she should be joking about what a mess she is, and her dui last year that could have killed people!!!! Drinking and driving is NEVER funny. She also looks terribly thin and ugly, and the acting was terrible



    25. 25

      LOL, TSS.

      She's beautiful and talented. I hope she can get it together one of these days…



    26. 26

      Lindsay isnt a derranged outta control girl media gossips about. Media just gets a kick out of saying a bunch of trash. I call em oscars that all they live in. Post all ya want about celebs the only reason why ya do it is because ya are fucking jealous and envy em. So go back to bed and dream while these people are living it.



    27. 27

      I have good comic timing… can I be in a "Funny or Die" video too?



    28. 28

      LOve iT! Hope She tuRns it ArouNd!



    29. 29

      I thought it was funny…but I think she was trying to piss off her fellow fish-eater.

      we all love lindsay!!!
      =]



    32. 32

      lmfao



    33. 33

      As much as I'm sick of hearing about her-this is really funny.I have to give her credit,at least she can laugh at herself!



    34. 34

      Oh it's funny as hell. You're just pissed b/c she's right, she's keeping you in business (along w/miley).



    35. 35

      hahaha, I loved it! she's still beautiful, still hilarious, still an actress. it's great she can poke fun at herself.



    36. 36

      no matter what she does, you're an asshole. stop being such a dick.



    37. 37

      i hate her, but i accept she's kinda funny when she wants to, perez should admit that, n also admit that zach faggon is NOT hot or talennted at all



    38. 38

      I guess its weird when you realize there's a real person behind all your bitchin.



    39. 39

      she was reading an autocue, it was really obvious. you could see her beady little eyes flicking back and forth.



    40. 40

      i've always been a fan of her. i think she is a great actress and very down to earth. i think it sucks that she gets bad press but at least she can take it and laugh at her own self sometimes. she doesn't always make the best decisions but she isn't stupid and certainly when she gets her act together, she should make more movies.



    41. 41

      lol
      best lindsay lohan video in a while!!



    42. 42

      good for her! i think that it was really cute. most of us sit around and bitch when we have been dumped, she atleast has some jokes. mad props lindz



    43. 43

      Re: HavierPotter – Thank you !!! it was actually funny



    44. 44

      Did anyone else notice that the song playing was like the theme song in the parent trap?



    45. 45

      hey since she admits it we can all laugh at it



    46. 46

      LMAO
      perez u've to admit that it was funny, at least she knows how to laugh of herself!! and she is a good actress, she's just having a reeeeeally bad time -.-



    47. 47

      she has good comedic timing. seriously.



    48. 48

      That was pretty funny. I hope she gets her career back she has a lot of potential. Also Linds…gain a couple pounds u looked cuter when you were thicker!



    49. 49

      That was cleverly funny!
      Perhaps she should go into writing.



    50. 50

      Funny shit, good for her….. Perez suck a fat cock



    51. 51

      a red head whos seriously crazy…haha..perez that was for you



    52. 52

      love her she's a boo



    53. 53

      She did a totally good job. Funny and up to date. F the haters. Linds is hot, cool and totally Perez worthy. I feel bad for her. Let her heal for god's sake. SAMan might be hideous, but she still broke a heart. From now on, call SAMan what she is, roadkill! Yuk



    54. 54

      This is HILARIOUS. Just admit it! I love her ahahha.



    55. 55

      PEREZ!!!

      This is too funny! If you blogged the quote correctly, LINDSAY GOT THE QUOTE MIXED UP on her tattoo! The real Marilyn Monroe quote is "EVERYONE IS A STAR AND DESERVES A CHANCE TO SHINE". At least get the quote right and honor its original source!



    56. 56

      That was funny — it's nice to see she still has a sense of humor.



    57. 57

      i was thinking it would be funnier
      but it wasn't. & what was up with those
      celing eyes. wtf.



    58. 58

      that was great!! Im so glad she went back to red!!! did anyone notice the music in the backround was from her first movie The Parent Trap…



    59. 59

      It would be funnier if she was baring like a bitch and her mother was feeding her coke residues up the ass. I am fed up of this fucking bubble head.



    60. 60

      Poor Lindsey, talking up some 1 minute spoof, where she flubs lines and stumbles frequently as if it's Shakespeare or something. You're still a long way from an oscar for playing a stripper with a heart, honey.



    61. 61

      Good for her! it was funny and shows dumb fucks like you up Perez.
      Just because people don't live life like you (hypocritical fascist attention seeking old show hag bitch without a handle on real life AT ALL) doesn't mean they are crazy. Anyway, admit it, you LOVE her, after all the hours you devote to being jealous of her…



    62. 62

      That was actually really funny and shows she is a good actress with comedic timing….. she just needs to sort her life out.



    63. 63

      It's a cute idea, but not as cute or funny as she and FoD seem to think. It's not so cute to make fun of problems she actually did or does have. She was in car accidents, she does actually seem to have some substance issues. I take it all with a grain of salt and I don't think she's as crazy as Perez does. She's not anywhere close to Britney, but she does seem somewhat troubled and this doesn't magically fix that. Even if she doesn't have any of those problems, no one knows what her life is like, it's at least a little bit tasteless. Know what WAS funny? Paris Hilton saying "I guess I'm running for president now!"



    64. 64

      Am I the only person who doesn't even find this remotely funny? 3/4 of the things she is making fun of REALLY happened. I mean, she REALLY did crash her car she REALLY did get into a chase on the PCH and really did get a DUI. I mean, she wasn't really addressing rumors.

      That was painful to watch.



    65. 65

      Re: buttonpusher – Still an actress? seriously… lol



    66. 66

      SHE NEEDS A REAL MAN



    67. 67

      it's kind of cool in my mind. i wish her well

      68

      Team Lohan all the way!!!!!! Sam can choke on it!



    69. 69

      Lindsay actually is a great actress. This was a clever idea. I hope she takes time to pull herself together so she can make a comeback.



    70. 70

      I hope her new movie will do well.



    71. 71

      She was funny and good.

    72. Jacko says – reply to this


      72

      loved it!



    73. 73

      That was great! I hope she really is doing better than the (very entertaining) gossip columns would have us believe. This was well done.



    74. 74

      She is so fucking hot, and the video is funny.



    75. 75

      FUCK OFF WITH THE LINDSAY SHIT POSTS THAT ARE USELESS TATTER ALREADY…..IT WAS CUT IN THE BEGINNING, BUT NOW I HATE YOUR PAGE SINCE IT SEEMS DEDICATED TO ALL SHIT IRRELEVENT TO ANYTHING INTERESTING…WHEN LINDS DIES OR MOVES AWAY OR STAYS HOME FOR A FEW NITES, THEN POST SOMETHING ABOUT HER DRIED UP USELESS HUMAN WASTE OF SPACE..



    76. 76

      Re: buttonpusher – you are obviously blind or deaf or watched the srong vid…Linds is nothing that you said she was, maybe in your clouded meth head , maybe…but not in the real world…she's an asshole in the real world..



    77. 77

      is everyone posting on here part of Linds's Family? (i would say Friend's as well but we all know she has none of those except for the drug dealers that call her "Hello Friend" in that Nancy Grace voice…)(HEY, where is Nancy Grace…she would kick the shit outta this little kunts asshole…



    78. 78

      The fact that she can laugh at herself and at the way she is currently viewed is a good thing. Her going back to red I think is a good sign that she's going back to her roots rather than Ronson's drug induced haze of a life.

      And really Perez, who are you trying to kid? She got praise from a director and website that recently featured your god Effron which you adore. Double standard much? Its not like either would fuck your fat ass.



    79. 79

      it was almost funny - but the saddest part of all was her further indoctrination unto future innocent smoking addicts with her references to '..marlboro miles.' - also, her voice is starting to sound pretty rough from her perpetual smoking addiction as well as her asthma which has apparently started to collapse her breathing musscles and cilia - she has a hacker smokers cough already.. what a waste and terrible role model for future young Smokers, and nothing else.



    80. 80

      We all know once she makes her "comeback" (which they all do) you'll be tossing her salad.



    81. 81

      are you kidding, that was AWESOME!



    82. 82

      That was hilarious!! Hahahaha….Linds is making fun of herself…shut up Perez. :p



    83. 83

      This just makes me like lynsey a bite more. I like that she can laugh at all her drama and poke fun at herself. all the tabloids just make her look like she's crazy and just doesn't give a fuck. two thumbs up linds i liked it!!



    84. 84

      I LOVE her voice. She sounds sexy. Give the girl a job!



    85. 85

      why can't you just leave it at she's trying her best to get better. don't kick her when she's down. give her some credit for trying to improve herself. gosh.



    86. 86

      That was great!!!



    87. 87

      HAHAHA this was funny

      91

      I'm rooting for Lindsay.



    92. 92

      This sort of makes me like her more…It's pretty funny and shows she does have a sense of humor.



    93. 93

      That was pretty cute! Maybe this will land her a job!



    94. 94

      Re: HavierPotter – seriously, it is pretty funny, and you gotta give her props for having such a genuinly happy and charming attitude while making fun of herself. she kinda looked like she was reading at some parts, but honestly it was pretty jokes and its actually the first time in a while that she doesnt look like a cracked out train wreck…….



    95. 95

      Ok, she is a mess and does need to get herself together. Personally, I am not a fan of her acting but would rent something she is in IF I were really bored. Hoewever, I thought this was funny, I found myself chuckling here and there. weird…



    96. 96

      As dumb as some of the stuff is that she does…
      This was a better choice. :P
      If someone can take all the stuff she's dragged through and make fun of it [while still doing it]. Ahh, the new dimensions.
