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!?"
** "1, 2, 3, 4 Feels just like coming in the back door. 5, 6, 7, 8 Aaah, feels great!"
* [[Backhanded Compliment]]: "Aldous, there's ''thousands'' of people out there who love you. '''I''' loved you until I met you!"
* [[Bad News in
{{quote|
** Sergio's text message.
{{quote|
* [[Binge Montage]]: Almost anytime Aldous and Aaron step foot in a club.
* [[Blood Is Squicker in Water]]: Lampshaded by Aldous after he falls into a swimming pool clipping the edge with his arm and bleeds what looks like a large amount of blood.
* [[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
* [[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 50 ⟶ 48:
* [[Dull Surprise]]: [[Elisabeth Moss]], most of the time. Completely [[Justified Trope|justified]]: she's clearly using it to portray her character--another intern--as so overworked and drowsy that she ''cannot'' express emotions normally.
* [[Dumb and Drummer]]: Aldous' opinion of [[Metallica|Lars Ulrich]], who happens to be plowing his ex-wife.
* [[Exactly What It Says
* [[Fake Band]]: Aldous Snow's ''Infant Sorrow.''
* [[Fake-Out Opening]]: The introductory scene depicts an African warzone...which turns out to be the set of Aldous Snow's latest music video.
Line 61 ⟶ 59:
* [[Hitler Ate Sugar]]: Aaron pulls this against his doctor girlfriend Daphne. "Just because you're a doctor doesn't mean you're a good person! The Nazis had doctors, Daphne!".
* [[Horrible Hollywood]]: "'''THIS''' is [[Anvilicious|what the music industry is about!]]"
* [[Intercourse
** ''Love Explodes''
** "Ride me, inside me supertight!"
Line 88 ⟶ 86:
* [[Oedipus Complex]]: Aldous definitely has issues in this general mold; the climactic "Going Down" (bridge: "Please use them breasts to feed me!") and "Searching For a Father" ("I am my own father; I gave birth to me.") are pretty blatant.
* [[One-Scene Wonder]]: [[Human Giant|Aziz Anzari]] as one of Aaron's co-workers, who informs him of the after-party for Jay-Z's new single that he missed.

** Not quite one scene, but {{spoiler|the hotel employee Aaron goes with to find Heroin steals the scene completely}}
** Pharrell Williams and his (not gangsta) pink polo shirt.
Line 98 ⟶ 96:
* [[Black Comedy Rape]]: "I think I've just been raped."
** as well as [[Rape Is Ok When It Is Female On Male]]
* [[Real Trailer, Fake Movie|Real Trailer, Fake Show]]: ''[[Disability Superpower|Blind Doctor]]''.
* [[Reality Subtext]]: In his younger years, Russel Brand used to be a drug addict, a heavy drinker and a complete mess in general. The actor [[Word of God|stated on many occasions]] that Aldous Snow is a [[Exaggerated Trope|hyperbolic]] version of himself in his 20's.
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: Pharell is wearing a pink polo shirt while shooting a video, which Sergio disagrees with.
{{quote|
'''Pharell:''' That's your problem man, you're always trying to be gangsta.
'''Sergio:''' What are you talking about?! The name of the song is called ''I'm Gangsta''! }}
* [[Sex, Drugs and Rock
* [[Sex Is Evil]]: Every promiscuous act imaginable, all portrayed as unflatteringly and seedy as possible.
* [[Shot to
* [[Spin-Off]]: of the Aldous Snow character introduced in ''[[Forgetting Sarah Marshall]]''.
* [[Snorri Cam]]: When Aaron is shot with adrenaline.
Line 123 ⟶ 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.
