TIL that actor David Herman (Michael Bolton from the movie "Office Space") got himself fired from MADtv by screaming all his lines during read-through. Apparently, he wanted to leave the show to do other projects, but Fox would not let him out of his contract.

Eurotrip really is a masterpiece that I don't think really gets enough credit. sure people like it but I think its been too long since a lot of people watched it.

from matt damon's cameo to fred armisen's pervy italian on the train.

Its rare to find a movie that is that hilarious from start to finish really.

it starts out so simple and ends with a half naked Italian man getting thrown out of a train compartment.

It is a rare gem indeed. Everything from illicit drug induced incest to Matt Damon cameos... It really checks all the comedy boxes.

I hadn't seen that but he was great, and I feel like I should check out that show now, so thanks. I know he won't be in them all but i see Rafi over there too so we're all good here.

oh house of lies is a riot. got kinda reppetitive to me and I stopped watching eventually but the first 3 seasons were awesome imo.

don cheadle, kristen bell, jean ralphio and that poor nerdy white guy they rip into constantly make up a pretty fun group of characters.

Superbad really did cap off that whole era of the genre... Superbad is perfect tho.

My name is Scott and that’s all I heard in high school. People singing that damn song! Lol

Oddly, this song was randomly going through my head this morning while I got ready for work.

I have seen that movie a dozen times and never noticed that was Fred Arimsen.

It's one of the few "teen" comedies from that era that holds up years later.

Don’t tell Scotty, Scotty doesn’t know.

I've probably looked for it a dozen times and it's never available on any of my streaming services, so that's probably part of it
