After having to choose between Judd Apatow and Zack Snyder (300), I chose the former for producing many comedy classics. He is responsible for many comedy classics that take teenage themes and give make them incredibly funny.
Some of his films include "40 Year Old Virgin", "Knocked Up", and "Funny People" along with producing many films.
He graduated High School and went to the University of Southern California, where he hosted comedy nights and performed stand up comedy afterwards.
He is known for taking real life situations and making them hilarious, with comedy that usually involves drugs, sex, and weed. However they always have a positive lesson at the end of it, which deal with believing in oneself, and being motivated to reach a goal.
