Today's Do Dump or Marry is in honor of next Friday's release of the new Apatow-produced flick Forgetting Sarah Marshall (featuring my beloved Kristen Bell), as well as dedicated to the following quote from Jeffrey Wells' piece at his blog Hollywood Elsewhere entitled "The Eclipse of the Hunk", which is about the Apatow Leading Man:"... in Apatow World, at least, moderately good-looking (or at least pleasant-featured) regular guys, neurotics or semi-smoothies who go to the gym every once in a while and maybe resemble the slightly fuller-bodied, not-quite-as-good-looking brothers of Matt Damon or Adrien Brody or Brad Pitt are totally out.
Taking their place are guys who look like real guys, which means almost never slender or buffed, and frequently chunky, overweight or obese. And usually with roundish faces with half-hearted beard growth, hair on their backs, man-boobs with tit hairs, blemishes, and always horribly dressed -- open-collared plaid dress shirts, low-thread-count T-shirts with lame-ass slogans or promotions on the chest, long shorts and sandals (or flip-flops), monkey feet, unpedicured toenails."
Man-boobs with tit-hairs? Good grief. Anyway, we love 'em, or we look like 'em, or we just like laughing at 'em, but I think these guys are here to stay. And now we choose! Our threesome this go-round:
Jason Segel - Writer and star of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, featured in Knocked Up as well as both of Apatow's beloved television offerings Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared. Currently on How I Met Your Mother. Has a penchant to rock out with his cock out, which is apparently something that he'll make abundantly clear in FSM. Stars opposite Paul Rudd (Yay!) in the upcoming buddy-comedy I Love You, Man. He's 6'4" if that means anything to any of ya out there...
Jonah Hill - Co-star of Superbad - in which he kicked an unholy amount of ass. Was in Knocked Up and is in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Had a hilarious scene in The 40 Year Old Virgin. Recently hosted (wonderfully, I might add) Saturday Night Live.
So tell me, my friends - which of these three would you Do (one night of bumping uglies; no unexpected impregnation allowed), Dump (head to Hawaii with a different hipster-tinged fella), or Marry (dance on a hillside to "Age of Aquarius" with)??? Take it to the comments!

Gee whiz, think female actresses will ever be afforded the same luxury?
Stacie, I found that quote of Wells' via this article at Cinematical which was asking that exact same question you just did. As for my humble opinion.... some day. Once we get more female producers and writers and so forth in there who have faith in the fact that 51% of the population might want to spend cash on having their realities onscreen as well. ;-)
Marry Jason... foxy and funny
Dump Jonah.
Do Seth Rogan... he is totally cute
Marry Jason-the cute one (and yes, the 6'4" thing TOTALLY helps)
Do Seth-hey, if Katherine Heigl can do it once, I suppose I can too.
Dump Jonah-I don't find him remotely attractive, and he's the least funny of the three.
Marry Seth
Dump Jason ( I already have a guy who calls me a midget for being 6 foot)
Do Jonah ( would have the best weed and has a sense of humor that would get old after a day)
Seth's also going to be in Kevin Smith's "Zack and Miri Make a Porno" currently in some stage of production.
Marry Jason, do Seth dump Jonah
Oops, left off my choices!
I hate to keep up with the general sentiment of dumping Jonah but I have to, because I would totally do Jason and marry Seth.
Dump- Jonah. Seems like he'd get annoying fast.
Marry- Jason. Big and tall has always done it for me. My boyfriend is 6'2" and I clear 5'6" on a good day.
Do- Seth. It was hard to decided between him and Jason but I think I'd be happy keeping him as my bit on the side.
Do - Jason, I don't have any connection to him, but he's the best looking one in the typical sense.
Dump - Jonah, he's not funny and he doesn't even have an ounce of charm
Marry - Seth
As long as Seth constantly wears his police uniform from Superbad (and keeps the handlebar) I think we'd be a happy couple.
After reading the consensus I feel obligated to reveal that I would marry Jonah, but we would probably have separate beds like on I Love Lucy where we would pass out after we got high every night. And I'd totally be honored to be deemed worthy to hang out with the others but couldn't really dump them because I wouldn't want to pick them up in the first place.
P.S. Ask me about my weinerrrrr!
Do Seth. Dump Jonah (really, guy, come on; at least Seth looks like he's trying). Marry Jason.
