Jonah Hill is Aaron Green, a record company intern who has just been given the moment of a lifetime: Haul infamous [[British Rock Star|Britrock libertine]] Aldous Snow to the States in time for his 10th Anniversary concert at L.A.'s prestigious Greek Theater. Considering Jonah Hill's character is a massive Aldous Snow fan, and all he has to do is escort the playboy, this gig shouldn't be too much of a hassle, right?

[[Hilarity Ensues|Wrong as a bombed album.]]
''Get Him To The Greek'' is a [[Spin-Off]] movie for [[Russell Brand]]'s Aldous Snow persona from ''[[Forgetting Sarah Marshall]]'', a previous joint from [[Judd Apatow]] and [[Jason Segel]]. Expanding upon the former film's depiction, Brand hits upon every British rock star stereotype as often as Hill exemplifies the harried and harassed music industry newbie. In addition, P. Diddy appears as Sergio Roma, a lunatic record exec with a fondness for [[Fur and Loathing|animal fur]] and

{{tropelist}}
* [[Abbey Road Crossing]]: Complete with tourists walking across.
* [[Adam Westing]]: A little bit with P. Diddy, who actually does produce songs and has
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: Pretty much the entire soundtrack.
* [[Ass Shove]]: ''Twice.'' "Why does this keep happening to me!?"
Line 32 ⟶ 29:
* [[Breakout Character]]: Sean "Diddy" Combs' character Sergio Roma, Aaron's neurotic and outright insane boss who hold basically every [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] in the film.. Much like the Aldous Snow character, there's been buzz about there being a spinoff focusing on Sergio.
* [[British Rock Star]]: Aldous.
* [[Bowdlerization]]: In universe: Aaron wakes up to an alarm clock radio playing a version of "Gang Of Lust" where "Let's get fucked" is replaced with "Let's have fun".
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Aaron Green has 72 hours to get Aldous Snow to the Greek Theater in Los Angeles. '''They are not going to be a fun 72 hours.''' {{spoiler|And Aaron is going to be a [[Ass Shove|''literal'' butt monkey.]] TWICE.}}
* [[The Cameo]]: [[Christina Aguilera]], [[
* [[Casanova]]: Aldous Snow is the character type personified, {{spoiler|until it's revealed he's actually [[Looking for Love In All the Wrong Places]]}}.
* [[Continuity Nod]]: The cameo by Sarah Marshall: "Yeah I used to <s>bang</s>have sex with her."
** [[Easter Egg|The DVD]] features a a full advertisement for the show Blind Medicine which Sarah stars in. Like Crime Scene in the previous film, it is shown to have hilariously bad acting.
* [[Continuity Snarl]]: It's a little unclear when this movie takes place relative to ''Forgetting Sarah Marshall''. Aldous is 7 years sober in that movie, but this movie implies said sobriety only lasted while he was with Jackie Q. Sarah Marshall was upset he wasn't monogamous with her in the previous movie, so one assumes he wasn't with Jackie then.
** Jackie Q refers to them being on-and-off over a period of several years, so it was probably during one of their "off" period.
Line 124 ⟶ 121:
* [[You Keep Using That Word]]: "No, I had sex with loads of other people. But I always told her about it - monogamy!"
* [[You Look Familiar]]: Most obviously, Jonah Hill's main character is different than the guy he played in ''Sarah Marshall'', but Carla Gallo (the "Gag Me" girl) here plays Destiny, and Da'Vone Mcdonald, the bartender Dwayne in the first movie, plays Sergio's security guard.
