It's a great movie.
I have to own everything that Zak's in. I have to. That whole movie is so fucking funny. The whole gay wedding thing...[breaks down in laughter] Oh, wait, did you and Michael Ian Black get to pick your own sweat socks for that scene?
Heh. The truth is, that was our choice. When we were shooting, we said, "Can we keep our socks on?"
[hissing with laughter]
Yeah, and it was actually, um, they cut it out, but, when we're having sex, I say to him, "What's my name?" And he's like...wait...what was my name? I can't remember...
Uh...what..."B"...it started with a "B" --
Ben! So, I was like, "Say my name." And he was like, "Ben." And I was like, "No, say my Christian name." And he goes, "Benjamin."
[totally losing it with laughter here]
[laughing] They didn't keep it in there, dammit.
Was it all scripted? Or did you guys just make it up?
Nah, we just did that. But it was a nice moment.
[again, losing it in laughter]
[laughing] But that was...I think my idea was the socks, but his idea was just fucking genius, it was to lift me up and kick the --
[laughing harder] Yes!
[giggling] And then he was lifting my leg up and I was all, "Dude! What're you DOIN'?!"
That scene just killed me, man. When I first saw the movie, I rented it...I didn't even see it in theaters...and--
It got kind of a cult following.
Yeah, but it didn't do any kind of decent business, which really pissed me off.
Yeah.
And my friend Randy was all, "It missed it on a couple of points." And I was all, "It didn't miss it on ANY points! It's fucking HILARIOUS." The whole gum-chewing kissing crap...
I know! There's so many great moments like that. The whole "Rod" dude? When he's picking up the silverware?
Oh, wait, wait, and that guy -- Chris Meloni?
Dude!
When he's all, "I have to go fondle my sweaters now."
"I have to go...make some fondue...or something..."
And talking to the can of peas? I mean, I don't know how they came up with that shit.
Yeah. It was pretty genius.
They're still doing comedy, I think. It's Michael Showalter and --
Yeah, they're doing Stella.
Yeah. Stella. Have you seen their website?
Have you seen the show?
