Derek Zoolander: Male Model

This is one of the shorts that is included on the DVD of the ZOOLANDER movie. I laughed almost non-stop during the running time of about three minutes. Ben Stiller is great [though not as great as he is in the ZOOLANDER movie] and even though a lot of the jokes used here are also used in the ZOOLANDER movie, it's still one of the funniest shorts I have ever seen. If you haven't seen this yet, go rent or buy the ZOOLANDER DVD now and watch it. This short is worth the price of the DVD alone.

The ZOOLANDER movie is pretty damn good, but you shouldn't miss this great short, which was largely improvised and originally aired on the VH-1 Fashion Awards. Stiller's gift is that he can make fun of something--in this case, male models--while also exhibiting a true affection and knowledge of the subject. Poor dumb Derek genuinely means well--he even wants to open up a model school to teach kids his patented "looks". Hopefully this and the other short will be available on the ZOOLANDER DVD at some point because everyone needs to see it!
