Very funny guys Danny McBride ("Eastbound & Down") and Aziz Ansari ("Parks and Recreation") are already doing a comedy together - the Ruben Fleischer (ZOMBIELAND) film 30 MINUTES OR LESS about "a pizza guy on a caper." Back in May, we then reported that the two would be reuniting for an untitled comedy that was originally pitched by Ansari and "30 Rock" writer Matt Hubbard.

Today, McBride in an interview with MTV revealed that the comedy will be called OLYMPIC-SIZE ASSHOLE. Here's what it's about:

"Olympic-Size Asshole is a film they set up through a company that I work with called Rough House (Jody Hill and David Gordon Green's production shingle)... It's about this Olympic athlete who comes back to his hometown and he bangs mine and Aziz's girlfriends. So we go on this mission to destroy his Olympic life."

Considering the people working on this, I'm already laughing at the potential. But will they be able to keep that title?

Ansari can be seen on NBC's "Parks and Recreation" and McBride can next be caught in the much-anticipated second season of "Eastbound & Down", which premieres September 26th on HBO.

Premise sounds funny and anything these two do is funny, so there's no way that this movie is going to be bad. There's just too much good talent involved. No way the title stays, if Kevin Smith got in trouble for Zack and Miri Make A Porno, then there is no way that this title stays the same.
