Comedian and MTV Movie Awards Show host Amy Schumer meets Anna Kendrick in this hilarious MTV promo, and it's nothing short of uncomfortable.
Schumer is super-chummy right off the bat, frightening Kendrick with her touchy-feely approach and immediate declaration of best friendship. She goes on to ask Kendrick if she's related to rapper Kendrick Lamar, prompting the actress to ask, "Do you know how first names work?" The whole interaction is sure to make viewers feel awkward just by just watching it (albeit a hilarious sort of discomfort).
Though the awards won't take place until April, it's never too early to get the ball rolling when it comes to generating media attention, and this MTV promo will certainly do the trick!
