The principal cast of the new apocalypse comedy This Is The End put together a promo for their new film for MTV that crams the concept of their movie into a faux-episode of The Real World. The NSFW video features James Franco, Seth Rogen, Danny McBride and Jay Baruchel along with former Real World: Portland roommates Averey-Lee Jane and Joi Niemeyer doing what people on the Real World do best: finding excuses to fight about the most petty things. Except this time, the excuses lead to a lot more dick jokes. Craig Robinson also makes a quick but funny cameo to remind the viewers that he's still alive and in the movie. [via Reddit]

Thankfully, the group has released two new songs, both of which are so, so great and will hopefully blow up and pay for college for all these little rugrats. First up is “My Bike,” which has a menacing recorder thing going, but is still pretty young and charming.
