...What about Tom Green? The trailers trick you into thinking he's the whole movie, but Tom actually doesn't go on the road trip. As Josh's roomie, he stays behind to monitor his pet snake-and to feed it.

Result: an epidemic of Internet snake oil, featuring discredited cancer "cures" like laetrile staging a comeback, $200 "second opinions" with more disclaimers than a sky-diving class, and incompetent "diagnoses" from self-styled "professors" and "academicians" at $50 or so a pop. What's next? An e-auction site for an appendectomy or laser eye surgery...
