To promote his new film Funny People, writer-director Judd Apatow spoke with Playboy about a variety of topics–including his little obsession with male frontal nudity.
“[A] penis looks like a man with a big nose and large ears,” he told the magazine. “It’s a vulnerable area, so it’s good for comedy. But you have to be very careful about how much you show. I learned this from working on Forgetting Sarah Marshall, in which Jason Segel is naked for an entire scene…When you show a movie with full-frontal nudity to a test audience, you instantly learn how many seconds of screen time results in how many audience members walking out of the theater. You may get away with three seconds of penis exposure, but at five seconds you’ll lose 18 people. At 10 seconds it could be a hundred. The fear of the penis in modern society is unparalleled.”
Wow, we must really be out of touch with modern society, because we’re definitely not afraid of penises! Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a date with a man with a big nose and large ears…

To check out Jason Segel naked, follow the JUMP:
I think jason segal is gross..but actually he looks pretty good in the cock region. That is the one reason why I never saw that movie though..
Kinda hot, but in a weird way…
I wouldn’t say he’s ugly, just not as hot as his co-stars on HIMYM. Maybe if he was a bit less doughy? Not b/c I think he’s fat or anything; I was surprised to see he has a decent body, but b/c his face is so bland.
In any case, yes, I’d hit that.
