When director Judd Apatow makes a viral video, you know it's not going to be a run-of-the-mill clip. In a video piece created to promote Apatow's latest movie, "Walk Hard," the joke is on viral marketing, as the cheeky director and actors Jonah Hill, Justin Long, Paul Rudd, and Craig Robinson discuss Apatow's movies and even acknowledge that what they're doing is viral marketing meets comedy.
