number 10 James Franco this is the end
oh you can’t have the Milky Way that’s
my Milky Way actor writer director and
apocalypse survivor
Franco is thrown into the deep end in
this movie when partygoers at his house
are confronted by an apocalypse of
biblical proportions and must fight for
survival despite arguments between
friends and his dwindling supply of food
and water Franco takes the lead and
tries to keep things together I know how
to handle it with his selection of booze
and drugs the ownership of a pistol and
an unfailing sense of humor Franco tries
to impress his friends even in the wake
of imminent death but not even blue
beams of light or the promise of heaven
can save him from himself may not have
invited me to your party number 9 Zac
Mitchell Jurassic world I think is the
island big what could possibly go wrong
in a park filled with live dinosaurs
well for surly teenagers axe is just
another babysitting job if he has to
follow his dorky little brothers to keep
an eye on him he tries to make the most
of the trip flirting with girls around
the park and basically ignoring poor
gray and I know for a fact is definitely
not out there alright
totally safe of course when the smart
and terrifying indominus rex escapes and
it comes time for Zack to show his
mettle he proves that he can be a pretty
great big brother after all but that
doesn’t stop him from preferring to
latch on to Raptor Whisperer Owen for
safety this
feel safe number eight kylo Ren Star
Wars Episode 7 the force awakens Oh
super come the first of the sequels to
the original Star Wars trilogy
introduces us to kylo Ren the lightsaber
wielding mask-wearing villain of the
film having fallen to the dark side of
the form Ren comes across as foreboding
and ominous able to stop a blaster bolt
midair with the force but as the film
progresses this image of him
disintegrates as he frequently loses his
temper and struggles to uphold the
legacy of the great Darth Vader I wish
you started by the end we see that he’s
just an angsty kid trying way too hard
to intimidate people and keep his grasp
on power number 7 Cady heron Mean Girls
I knew how this would be settled in the
animal world
when nerdy new girl Katy enrolls in a
normal high school after being
homeschooled in Africa all her life it’s
nothing short of a culture shock she has
to learn to navigate her way through the
jungle of unspoken rules and how to
choose her friends wisely so she doesn’t
end up one of the losers by chance she
falls into the world of the plastics the
pretty popular girls who rule the school
so you’ve actually never been to a real
school before shut up in the ultimate
attempt to seem cool Katy imitates them
so well that she eventually takes over
from supreme mean girl Regina George
compromising friendships morals and her
sense of self along the way honey you’re
not pretending anymore you’re plastic
coal shiny hard plastics number six
Draco Malfoy the Harry Potter franchise
yes don’t dangerous at all are you
Christ I can’t wealthy and pompous
Malfoy makes enemies of our favorite boy
wizard Harry Potter very quickly
everyone loves to hate the rich kid in
Malfoy with his dull henchman and
persistent snark is no different
from the moment he’s introduced when he
encourages Harry to choose his friends
more widely to the
end of the series when he succumbs to
the powers of he-who-must-not-be-named
Malfoy is just another kid who has to
learn the hard way that daddy’s money
can’t buy everything oh not even a hug
and the approval from Lord Voldemort
himself can erase the years of looking
down his nose at the Wizarding World
beloved hero well done
drink well doc number five Danny Zuko
grief cadmium Lana what is sleek hair
leather jacket and his gang of cigarette
smoking car obsessed friends Danny
easily seems like the coolest guy at
Rydell High it is until sandy shares the
girl he met over the summer break starts
at Rydell that Danny’s image starts to
unravel turns out he’s all bravado and
cockiness in front of his friends but
beneath his showing off he’s someone
else trying to reconcile who his friends
think he is with the guys sandy knows he
is Danny finds himself stuck between
those summer nights and that greased
lightning and boy do we love the awkward
laugh and the strut when the facade
drops and he scrambles to save face oh
come on I can run circles around those
jerks number four Kim jong-un the
interview I cannot respond with anything
less than the totality of my strength
when talk-show host Dave Skylark decides
to interview North Korean leader Kim
jong-un for his show he is not prepared
for how intense things get first
impressions are everything and Kim being
a Dave Skylark superfan makes sure Dave
knows he’s got the slickest duds the
nicest grocery stores and the biggest
tank this side of Pyongyang a tank tank
of course
Kim’s not above intimidating those who
would see him fail and can scare the
crap out of anyone who doubts his
ability but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t
have his soft spots after all he cries
when he hears Katy Perry’s Firework
or maybe it’s just Skylark singing that
brings him to tears
I don’t mean my father number three
Kipling Ronald Kip dynamite Napoleon
Dynamite my poem don’t be just that I’ve
been chained online with babes all day
tip when Ronald Dynamite himself may not
be the coolest guy on the block but he
sure tries to be what his uncle Rico
mentoring him on everything from women
to football Kip wild away the hours
training to be a cage fighter or
challenging Napoleon to beat him up for
talking to ladies through his computer
which online for like two hours every
day so I guess you could say things are
getting pretty serious
of course that’s where he meets laFonda
and really starts making an effort to
seem cool transforming himself into an
early 2000s rapper complete with chains
oversized clothes and do-rag
Kip gets to ride into the sunset with
his ladylove for his efforts huh maybe
Kip is the coolest guy in Preston Idaho
so number two Scott Pilgrim Scott
Pilgrim vs. the world you wouldn’t
change against an a-lister bro Scott
Pilgrim desperately wants to be with
ramona flowers but he has to defeat her
seven exes first using only his wits and
skills as a bassist
sounds badass right now Scott is
anything but Scott’s pretty content
spending his days learning the bass line
to final fantasy to mooching off his way
cooler roommate Wallace and trying to
show off his trivia knowledge by
explaining the origins of pac-man did
you know that the original names of
pac-man was Chuck Bass however once he
meets the girl of his dreams he does
everything he can to impress her and
seem cool but based on the fact that he
thinks the l-word is lesbian we say it’s
an uphill battle for him if I’m in love
soon what before we unveil our number
one pick here are some honorable
mentions come on I’ll race you
[Music]
hi hello it likes it is a pledge out wow
that is a good grip you should not pick
a fight with this part number one Steph
super bad stop being a pussy in nailer
okay you can bang her for like two
months before you leave that is clearly
insecure but he masks it by throwing out
insults attempting to talk himself up
and dropping awkward jokes whenever he
feels uncomfortable you said something
earlier about like a fake ID or
something right yeah I’m gonna get one
for show a show I’m getting that for
show haha he’s tasked with bringing the
booze to a big end of year party and
since he’s always been kind of a loser
that is determined to make this party
the highlight of his high school career
so we get some help from his friend
Fogle who also tries too hard to impress
others in order to buy the alcohol while
the party’s not all hookups with hot
girls like he’d hoped
Steph manages to impress the cool kids
enough to make sure that party isn’t his
