JOHN MAYER GETS FUNNY AGAIN

Hot on the heels of releasing footage of his actual music making process, John Mayer has joined up with mega-comedy producer Judd Apatow to lampoon that very subject in a new Funny Or Die video. In the three-minute feature, the singer-songwriter plays a conceited version of himself who, among other things, tells an assistant to find the whistle player from "Paradise City," and when the aide asks if he means Axl Rose, John replies, "I didn’t ask what his name was, just get him for me." It also includes cameos from Apatow regulars, as well as Kristen Bell. Check it out now at FunnyOrDie.com.
