Levy not crazy about man-on-man shock comedy Legendary comedian Eugene Levy had an interesting reaction when he saw Will Ferrell and Sacha Baron Cohen kissing at the MTV Movie Awards last weekend. "They (the people in the audience) are screaming and squealing, and you know, to me the torch has passed already," said Levy, who is hosting the 2007 Canada's Walk of Fame ceremony. "The business already has moved on to a younger generation of kids who find that this is what is funny and outrageous.
" Levy is lukewarm on shock comedy, so it's getting hard for him to find things in film and TV that really make him laugh these days. "A lot of comedy is going in a direction that I don't find particularly interesting," Levy said. "When I saw Borat (which starred Cohen), I got it, I thought a lot of it was funny.
Some of the stuff I understood why it was funny, but it's not necessarily what I personally find funny. He's one of the great character comedians, just brilliant, but you know, he tends to push the envelope." "I saw Knocked Up (with Katherine Heigl and Seth Rogen) the other night and I actually really loved that movie," Levy said.
"Not that I laughed all the way through it, but it's one of the few movies I've seen, one of the few comedies I've seen lately, that I actually loved, you know?
