There is a scene in Crazy Stupid Love during which Steve Carrell shows up at a mall to have Ryan Gosling teach him how to improve his fashion. Carrell shows up in sneakers and a boring, striped polo.

GOSLING: Can I see [your shoes]?

CARRELL: Yup.

Carrell takes his shoes off, hands them to Gosling.

CARRELL: These offer a lot of support.

Gosling throws Carrell's sneakers off the balcony.

CARRELL: Hey!

GOSLING: Where are you? In a fraternity?

CARRELL: No.

GOSLING: Are you Steve Jobs?

CARRELL: What?

GOSLING: Are you the billionaire owner of Apple Computers?

CARRELL: No.

GOSLING: Oh. Okay. Well in that case you've got no business wearing New Balance sneakers, ever.

Gosling slaps Carrell in the face.

GOSLING: Come on.

Now, replace Gosling with lukeprog and Carrell with Yudkowsky.
