Judd Apatow Breaks Down His Career, from 'Superbad' to 'Freaks and Geeks' | Vanity Fair

the fact that anchorman, the 40 year old virgin, superbad, knocked up, forgetting sarah marshall and pineapple express were all made by the same guy within a four year period will never not blow me away
they weren't, some were merely produced by him.
Anchorman - Adam McKay
The 40-Year-Old Virgin - Judd Apatow
Superbad - Greg Mottola
Knocked Up - Judd Apatow
Forgetting Sarah Marshall - Nick Stoller
Pineapple Express - David Gordon Green
Freaks & Geeks is part of the foundation of everything that is good about TV today
Yeah sure like the Wire, the Sopranos, Breaking Bad and True Detective season 1🤔🤔🤔
Star LORD I’m a huge Sopranos fan.. it was certainly an early benchmark too.. first aired in 1999 .. same year as F&G..
Twin Peaks
That was a bizarre series.. I couldn’t quite get through it all
David Lynch’s story telling seems very cryptic
though, the production style was indeed ahead of its time for TV
@@superlativeradiostudios it's kind of like the progenitor containing all the DNA for the golden age of television
People call him a hack a lot, but this hack has made some decade defining movies from the 2000s. When you think of comedies from the early 2000s you 100% without a doubt think of some Judd Apatow movies.
Whilst I haven't heard of anything he's done in the past 10 years, those 00's films are classics. Deserves respect
judd apatow a hack ?? where
Exactly!!! People are just salty
Yup just like Weinstein
yeah, early 2000
now he makes movis with Amy Schummer and Pete Davidson
So sad Freaks and Geeks didn't last longer it was so good
it deserved better for sure
Definitely 😭
Why do they edit this out of chronological order? Drives me nuts.
The whole thing was in chronological order except for the two sequels they talked about.
Because This is 40 is a sequel to Knocked Up, and and Get Him to the Greek is a sequel to Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
Never forget literally how much rejection this guy had to face before he took off. But he kept going.
Never give up, friends.
“ Michael Cera is the greatest in the world”
This dude is a genius. He has give us so many classics.
Christopher Nolan And Quentin Tarantino are geniuses this guy sucks.
@@callumboscoe8685 no you suck.
Cody Ruthrauff how? It’s a fact his movies are bad
yet he was rejected a million times
@@callumboscoe8685 yea they are but that doesn’t discredit and nvm you get it
Love how some people just have a sense for future stars. Can’t believe 40 year old virgin was conceived based on Judd walking up to Steve asking if he had any ideas for a movie lol.
Anyone else get distracted by the books on his shelf? I wonder why he has so many sticky notes in the Keith Richards autobiography.
Also this is pretty great, I think Judd doesn't get much of a chance to talk about his career as often as the actors in his movies do, but he's always been terrific.
I was just coming here to comment on all the sticky notes in Keith Richards' book. I love it. It's so quotable.
Maybe he's branching out - notes for a possible biopic..?
Likely a lot of goodies in that bio!
Beatles complete scores
This dude deserves a standing ovation for gems like freaks and geeks, 40 year old, etc.
I loved Etc!
@@cf9844 we all do!
It's awesome Apatow knows his lane. He does it with perfection. He brings a unique type of comedy like no one can. He's like the John Hughes of the 2000s. You know, even without a title of a movie, whether a movie is an Apatow or not.

Mad Jim Jaspers you’re a god
Why isn’t Love mentioned? That’s one of his greatest achievements.
I've noticed that it's constantly slept on. I wouldn't say it's underrated, since people who have watched it know that it is excellent. It is under appreciated & under watched.
:( forreal
Jay Dee caca pee pee poo poo. 😄😄😁😁😆😆😆
That’s why Bridesmaids is so good and considered a classic. The main focus wasn’t about making an all female led comedy movie but instead it focused on comedy first. That movie being such a big hit proves most people are cool with female leads in movies they just don’t want that to be the sole reason for seeing the film. Just write good stories with interesting characters and people will enjoy it.
I'd love to see a series like this about how people first came up in their industry. Like, what did Apatow do between High School and Larry Sanders?
He did standup and got into USC for screenwriting - a program which he quit in his junior (?) year. He moved in with Adam Sandler and got into actually writing and producing through Garry Shandling in the 90s.
@@hhoch9503 Thanks. Good to know.
13strong he used to interview comedians as a kid
He sucked off Harvey weinstein
He also co created the Ben Stiller Show.
I didn't realize what a big fan I was on Judd Apatow until now. That was just a list of my favorite comedies!
Never laughed harder than when watching one of his comedies. His movies are the best antidepressants ever manufactured. His wife is hilarious too. Love them!
I feel like undeclared doesn’t get the recognition it deserves... it’s not even covered on here
I agree. He mentions it a ton but they don't have him talk about it at length, yet they have him talk about North Hollywood?
@@Pencilman246 I agree with you if it wasn't for Undeclared we wouldn't have gotten Jay Baruchel, which I read that around that time period he was about to leave acting to go to film school. Also the show gave us some recurring players for some of Apatow/Rogen's movies like Carla Gallo, David Krumholtz, etc. Another thing since they discussed about the North Hollywood pilot, I was kinda surprise that they didn't put his other pilots like "Sick In The Head" another pilot he did with Poehler & that was made around the same year as Freaks And Geeks, had that pilot been picked he would of not worked on Freaks. Also VERY SURPRISING they didn't put The Cable Guy in there since he wrote that movie, was a producer on it and met his future wife there lmao.
Such a great show.
It is doomed to always remain.... undeclared
I love this show.
Why skip over Undeclared and Love? Would three more minutes of content have killed you?
OKAY I WANNA SEE THE MOUNTAINSIDE ANCHORMAN SURVIVAL FILM!!!! GIVE US THE FERRELL CUT!!!! LIKE APATOW SAID DO IT!!
That should be Anchorman 3
thank god for judd believing in these actors that are literally the foundation of everything i love about comedy
WHY isn't anybody talking about North Hollywood?? I mean that cast is 100% PURE COMEDY ROYALTY directed by the best comedy director that's a comedy GOLD right there so sad the studio slept on it they should reunite and reshoot it I'd watch 10/10
It was just a pilot and never got picked up that's why.
Kevin heart ain't funny
I rewatched knocked up recently after years of not seeing it and I remember back then not getting the movie but now I feel like it’s one of his best movies if not one of the best films that year. It was so touching funny and thoughtful. Love jud
Wow, never heard Judd Apatow talk before. I could listen to him discuss movies all day.
Forgetting Sarah Marshall is way, way up there on my favorite comedy list.
What an amazing career Judd has had! He's a genius and created so many brilliant classics and the most quotable films! Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Anchorman, Knocked Up and Superbad are some of my all time favourite films
Ohhhhh, they got em all, Love that this is 30 minutes.......thank you Vanity Fair......you bring us what we want
I thoroughly enjoy that these are long episodes!
Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping was a gem
'This Is 40' is the most accurate description of the turning 40 EVER
This man has some thoughts on Keith Richard's autobiography...
It must be for his next movie
Its a great read.... im convinced hes actually superhuman
Lmao
You need to do more of those slow zoom videos 😭❤️❤️❤️
Seth Rogan IS Judd Apatow.. same mannerisms, same speech inflections. Crazy!
I forgot those are the two most definitive qualities to every person!
Judd Apatow is way funnier than Seth Rogen
These are the most extremely different people which probably ever existed. Idiot. Brain-fried...
@@Cinemabuff97 Judd Apatow is the definition of unfunny and relies 100% on people like Seth Rogen to make movies that are the slightest funny. Did you lose part of your brain?
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE YESSSSS
The King of Staten Island is amazing
I agree
It was a very good movie, Apatow really knows how to mix comedy AND drama and get away with it.
Omg I had no idea he has directed this many hit movies and shows. I’ve seen twelve of them.... TWELVE
"you can just get someone pregnant and that's enough for a movie."
and we went "wait a second"
Geniuses
Alina Ts this KILLED me
Right! And then the next day, the script, casting, and filming were done. Knocked Up grossed like 7x its budget. Geniuses indeed.
This man has some thoughts on Keith Richard's autobiography...
Judd movies made my teen and young adult years . This has made me so nostalgic and I need to to watch them all haha
Basically the last 20 years of good, successful comedy has had Judds hand on it. He’s a legend
Average to below average, unfunny comedies, which in the best of cases he has almost no influence in.
BFKC there is no world in which Freaks And Geeks, 40 Year Old Virgin, Bridesmaids, Knocked Up, Cable Guy, Superbad arent influential. the influence is almost so overwhelming that denying it makes me think you are either 6 years old, a troll or someone who thinks Sgt Peppers had no influence. Just because you don’t like the top grossing and top reviewed comedies over the last couple decades doesn’t mean they’re not influential.
Thank you Jubb and your team for bringing joy to the world through VFX 🙌🏾
He has helped make some of the funniest comedies of the last two decades, that really do stand up.
This guy is seriously a genius. He’s made so many of my favorite movies!
Wow- I'm liking the "Tim Allen from the Santa Clause" look he's sporting during the lockdown!
The part about his mom's illness was so deep
What a talented man! I am a big big fan of Leslie’s which is what brought me here! Some of these movies I’d happily admit are my favourite!!! How have I not seen Pineapple Express and get him to the Greek! I know what I’m doing today! 🤣
JUDD + SETH + EVAN = greatness
favorite movies such feel good movies ima be watching them forever
how this mans faces isn't posted all over the internet is crazy... we could spend 6 hours just talking about his projects.. one of the best in the bizz
This was wonderful. I loved it. And Mindy is right! No wonder you are exhausted.
I wish they hadn't skipped past "Love!" That show was so underrated.
"But it was really hard to figure out who was as good as Michael Cera. Michael Cera is the greatest in the world." Uh huh.
Big Judd Apatow fan here! Love this guy! Bridesmaids is my favorite. 😁
Pineapple Express, Freaks and Geeks, Superbad, this dude made me who I am - a freaky degenerate stoner - and i'm so thankful
He didn't write most of those things, you easily manipulated buffoon. He produced or said something on these things, but many of these things were actually written by the starring comedians, e.g. Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Will Ferrell, and so on.
I hope one day to be a part of one of his projects ❤️
This man has made literally all my favorite movies. What a genius
Most of my late teen years and 20s laughs are completely because of this guys' movies. thank you sir.
Kind of want to be best friends with Judd Apatow... what a delightful man. haha
I love his movies so much, that's almost all I've been watching in these strange times... they're like comfort food but classic comedies.
Loved this so much.
I thank Judd Apatow for getting Superbad to finally be made
Why didn’t you mention the Avett Brothers Doc?
This man. This family. Their contributions are countless and revered.. by me, at least.
He didn’t make the movies he directed them guys! He’s a great director and I’m glad he’s helped shape comedy movies in the 2000’s! Respect!
I think Judd Apatow is a really smart dude who knows what's going on around here. We need more directors like him making movies.
Me waiting for him to talk about Love: 👁👄👁
Very underrated show!!
Judd Apatow and the stuff that he made is all these past years are priceless
without him, we would not get these brilliant tv-shows or these movies or
these Actors those careers that he has made single-handedly.
I just noticed, Marc Marons bio is next to the book difficult men. Ha ha ha. I need access to Judds library. What a true genius.
These are all of my favorite movies. Judd is my hero
He’s my hero and inspiration in my life
I Love his work👍🏽
i had no idea so many of my favourite movies involved Judd?!! i'm amazed! he basically made my childhood and j had no clue lol
How did i not know Freaks & Geeks was a Judd project! Normally I’m not a huge fan of his but i lived for that show
never occurred to me until now just how many talented comedians and actors their start with Mr Apatow
not just one of the best writer/directors of indie comedies, but truly a cultural icon as well
YES! More directors!
Where was the big sick?! I love all Judds movies!!
Superbad will always be a staple to my high school movie viewing experience!
For anyone thinking that he made Superbad, Bridesmaids, Anchorman, etc. He only produced those movies, the only movies hes directed are The 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Trainwreck, This is 40, Funny People, and The King of Staten Island
I really like his book collection.
Hey says ‘sitting there’ with Seth, but all I hear is ‘getting stoned’ with Seth 🤣😂
Knocked Up is one of my favorite movies of all time.
Next time can you time stamp each movie / topic discussed?
The King of Staten Island is his masterpiece
i keep seeing all these videos where they talk about the network cancelling freaks and geeks; are there any in depth videos on this; watching it for the first time last week i loved it; why did it get cancelled? why did the people at the network cancel it?? crazy
The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling is a great documentary! Its on HBO. Please watch it if you haven't seen it.
Aw I’m sad Love didn’t get any credit here, I adore it
One of my favorite directors.
Wow, that north Hollywood show sounded epic
Judd Apatow is actually a very nice guy, don't listen to what people tell you on Twitter.
You skipped Undeclared. Very good show!
Knocked Up, This Is 40, these are so my life on film.
I really wanted to hear about Undeclared :(
So did i .I met jay baruchel and he autographed my Undeclared box set !
Vanity fair is doing so many career breakdowns now a days
Quarantine!
This guy shaped comedy in the 2000. he's a genius !
i'd like to know which producer-turned-head-of-studio it was
I know that it had way less box office success, but Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping deserved to be covered way more than Trainwrecked
Thank you Judd for making us smile
Freaks and Geeks is my favorite!!!!!!❤
He’s such a legend
Freaks and Geeks was the absolute best! worst call ever cancelling that one
I also very much want to see the original version of Anchorman
Yes, Mindy is so smart. Love her
Lol my favorite Judd Apatow project is Heavyweights.
