Oh, there's a subject no one has ever mocked: modeling. Tell me: when Ben Stiller was writing this, was he actually convinced that making that 'puckered face' (which they call "Blue Steel") and speaking in an effeminate whisper would be funny? Aside from about five humorous bits - most of them involve Ben's dad Jerry, one is a great gas station ad parody - it's almost unbearably awful (even the usually reliable Will Ferrell can't make much out of his maniacal designer character). This has to be the fifth straight bad picture Natalie Portman has agreed to be in (playing herself).
