Where’s the *Macgruber* sequel?
Are you disappointed with the slow reception of popstar?
cool beans
When is a Macgruber 4K release? I have a friend that wants it.
QUAID ARMY!
How was kinko’s?
Hi Jorma, big fan.
Are you sad that you weren’t picked for the boat ride for three?
Is that picture taken at VIDIOTS?
Vidiots!!!
What’s your favourite soup?
Do you like sportz?
The Lonely Island really came out of nowhere and was suddenly everywhere. Like literally everywhere, I couldn’t go to a bar without seeing the I’m on a boat video or hear it quoted in conversation. I still hear it to this day, casually. Was it shocking to suddenly be thrown into the center of the social world like that?
Jorma, what was working with Michael Bolton like? And who came up with “Now back to the good part!” ? Haha
Not falling for that.
It’s Kung Fuhrer!
When ‘Just Two Guys’ became a big hit Andy was a very small part of that. When the SNL period landed only Andy was on-air talent. As the Lonely Island became more successful everyone was having successes but in those early days was there any mild jealousy when one project was better received than another and how did you deal with that?
The political way of answering this is to say ‘We all support each other and love each other’s successes’ but that would an unsatisfying answer. I want tea.
What was your approach to making Over Your Dead Body unique compared to The Trip? Or was the goal to be as faithful as possible? Can’t wait to watch the film!
How did you prepare for your role as what critics describe as “the most realistic portrayal of Adolf Hitler to date”?
First time commenter long time Quaid army cadet, just hitting you in the tittus. When you guys were writing sketches and digital shorts on SNL, did you guys ever have to look if the sketch you’re writing was done before in the history of SNL? Was there someone at table read to be like that’s been done before or was everyone there was a big enough fan that people would stop you from having a duplicate idea? Anyway I’m glad you recovered from the ladder. Quaid army out
In your opinion, what is the most underrated Lonely Island lyric?
What’s your dream collab that most people wouldn’t expect?
Jorma, motherfucker, the sensitive one.
Hi Jorma, I’ve been a Lonely Island fan since the days of _The ‘Bu_! The KFBR392 reveal in MacGruber is the hardest I have ever laughed during a movie and I’ve wondered since, what is the process actually like for writing a joke like that? Do you have a funny idea that you then find a way to work into a movie, or does it naturally arise when planning out the script?
What was the toughest part about shooting in Finland, especially once you realized how similar it is to upstate NY?
Two part question: how’s the pelvis? And when’s that vasectomy?
How much gabapentin is too much gabapentin?
Quaid Army.
Did your accident impact the shooting schedule greatly?
Her daddy hates me…
Is there an SNL sketch you wish you could give the 90s Lorne produced movie treatment to?
How are you doing your live, in front of a studio audience, podcast and this AMA at the same time? You gettin an IV of straight Jav?
Who is your barber? Just so I know where not to book my next appointment
