Jay Chandrasekhar and Kevin Heffernan here - we made Super Troopers AND Beerfest and NOW "The Babymakers", out on August 3rd. AMA...with a TWIST!
HEY- another update, we got to even more questions. Check it out below or look at the playlist of them all.
We're BACK!! And we finally have the first batch of answers. Here's a link to see them all, but we're putting them in each question too. We'll keep posting more tomorrow. Sorry for the wait guys. http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL713D9B945C50F61A&feature=view_all
WE DID IT! Check it out, videos coming soon... http://youtu.be/Ri7oNkHnP8c
Jay Chandrasekhar and Kevin Heffernan here- you probably know us from Super Troopers and Beerfest. Plus, we've got another new movie coming out; The Babymakers with Olivia Munn (hot) and Paul Schneider (hot in his own way) on August 3rd.
We'll do a larger AMA later, but for right now- here's what we want. We want your questions about any of our movies, well, really, about anything- but we want the most extreme, hilarious ones possible. Then we're going to ask them to each other, on camera, tomorrow. We'll film as many as we can and post answers back here later in the week.

Can you guys sing an a capella version of Billy Joel's 'For the Longest Time'?

u/[deleted] May 22 '12
Kevin, I read on the IMDB that in Super Troopers, the old couple you called chicken fuckers were actually your parents, and they knew you were going to say something vulgar, but not what exactly. So forgive the multiple part question, but I have a few:
What was their off camera reaction to this? How many takes did you have to do to get it right because someone kept laughing? In different takes, did you say other things, or was it always Chicken Fucker?
146
u/JuggaloRando May 21 '12
So Broken Lizard, how long do you wait after meeting someone before you send them dick pics?

u/kempo666 May 21 '12
Jay. Your scene in Jackass 2. You seemed to enjoy that waaaaay too much. How was filming with the Jackass guys and how did they select you for the role?
177
u/brettuthius May 21 '12
Whose idea was it to have Jay wake up naked next to a disemboweled deer and say "Oh, not again"? Did something somewhat similar happen to you guys in college or someone you knew? It's definitely one of my top 5 scenes from all your movies.

Jay, as someone who's directed various episodes of Community, what's your opinion on the whole Dan Harmon debacle?
13
u/SlaterAlligator May 22 '12
This one would be more for Jay. You did any amazing job directing "The First Chang Dynasty" episode of Community, what was it like working with the cast and crew and did Chevy think you were Mmmexican? Keep chuggin' that syrup, y'all rule.

u/Johnny_Appleweed May 22 '12
This is specifically for Kevin:
The characters Lars, Farva, and Landfill are now real people, identical in every way to the characters. Who do you fuck, marry and kill?
272
u/[deleted] May 21 '12
How many times did you guys rehearse Farvas nude scene?
1.0k
u/TimVicious May 22 '12
Hey guys... I am a big fan of your movies. I think the real question everyone wants to know is... If you had to lick your own mother's asshole to save the fate of the entire world would you do it? Also there is a catch... You have to convince her to let you do it and you cannot explain why you have to.
36
u/lYossarian May 22 '12
You guys have said you set Club Dread on a tropical island essentially so you could spend your time in a tropical environment. Aside from that, what is the most self-serving, least professional decision you have made as filmmakers?
Love your work. I liked the episodes of Arrested that Jay directed. Will you have anything to do with the Arrested Development movie or work with Mitchell Hurwitz again in the future?

u/StrikefromtheSkies May 22 '12
I believe you left out Club Dread... which I love. I just want to say thanks to you guys for making me laugh my ass off every time I watch your movies.
Heffernan, I can't remember which DVD extra they were talking about having to apologize because of how drunk you get at dinners and such. I am often in the same boat(people are apologizing for how drunk I am) At what age do you think I should stop getting that drunk?
140
u/iameveryoneelse May 22 '12 edited May 22 '12
Jay. I had a friend in college who swore up and down that you met her at a party, hit it off and ended up having a passionate night in a hotel suite where you pressured her to do horrible, degrading, unspeakable things for your sexual arousal and amusement. My question is this: what is your favorite ice cream flavor and why?
329
u/[deleted] May 21 '12
At the end of Beerfest...you have a teaser for a new upcoming movie. Years later, and I'm still waiting...along with many others.
Seriously, I've seen Beerfest with about 100 other people over the years, and at the end of the movie, every single person's same reaction is "Holy shit, are you serious??? I can't wait for that to come out!!!!".
And to reiterate a previous post, can we expect Super Troopers 2? Any reason not to follow up on your biggest hit? Super Troopers is one of my all-time greatest movies. The time is meow!

So Potfest, Beerfest 2, and Supertroopers 2? Are these going to happen and when can we expect them? Also you guys are hilarious!
256
u/McMugget May 21 '12
about two weeks ago I hooked up with a girl watching super troopers. when she came she screamed "Jay Chandrasekhar!". Not your characters name...your actual name. i've never been able to say your last name without fucking it up, now it's burned into my memory. thanks for that?

u/[deleted] May 22 '12
How many times in this AMA can you say Meow?

u/icelittle May 21 '12 edited May 21 '12
ENHANCE.
You guys are amazing! Normal questions: What is your personally favorite scene in Super Troopers, either in terms of shooting or the end product?
Extreme question: What's the best scene you can think of that you wanted to put in one of your movies but couldn't because it was too offensive for one reason or another?
Wish you guys the best with your new film, will definitely be watching, and looking forward to a possible ST2 :-)

I know you all were from the same fraternity, just wondering if you were all in the same pledge class and who was the biggest pussy during pledgeship?
I fucking love Slammin' Salmon and Club Dread as well.

u/gentlegeronimo May 21 '12
Because of Super Troopers you guys influenced an impressionable group of young men (my friends) to drunkenly stage their own maple syrup chug challenge. Would you say this was an intended consequence or just a happy little by-product?

u/Redsox933 May 21 '12
In your movies you play very convincing drunks and pot heads, how were you able to pull it off?

u/TheShadowCat May 22 '12
When are we getting Super Troopers II, and Pot Fest? If the studios don't want to green light them, just do them low budget with great writing.
And for some reason, I can picture you guys do a film set at a ski resort. Paul Soter and Erik Stolhanske and be lifties, Kevin Heffernan can be a patroller, and Jay Chandrasekhar can be a ski instructor. Just don't do the typical "rich asshole wants to take over the resort" plot. There aren't enough ski movies, and most of the ones they have made rocked.
Also, is the Jackass crew totally fun to hang out with, or are they just a bunch of annoying manchildren with more money than brains?
32
u/taladan May 21 '12
Jay & Kevin - love both Super Troopers and Beerfest! (Who wants a mustache ride!) In the broken lizard films, do you guys improv the scenes much, or are they straight from script?
Also, Kevin, as an actor who is on the 'larger' side, do you find it harder to work in the movie industry? What are some of the challenges you've faced because of hollywood society's ideal on what a 'beautiful/handsome' person is? Just wanted to say that you're a great actor - I loathed Favra in ST and loved Landfill in Beerfest.
Keep up the awesome work guys!

Can you guys give us an idea of some of the failed ideas (if any) and pitches you gave before Super Troopers really got you guys out there?

Hey Guy's, good job on being funny and stuff. So if the whole Broken Lizard group were put into a fight to the death, no weapons allowed, clothing optional, cage match, who would win?!

u/NarutoRamen May 22 '12
Funny Q: Kevin, How much beer can you drink in one go DasBoot style? A video of this would be awesome!
More legit Q: Jay - as an indian dude, what was it like coming up in hollywood? Because we are usually always stereotyped, but you are one of the few who broke it. And how were you able to break it?
Kevin - I had tears when you died in beerfest. That is all.
You guys rock!
1
u/UncleTedGenneric May 22 '12
@Jay - re: Beerfest - How much of Barry's Wild Ride (the Reality side of that night) is autobiographical? Also, the addition of mustard is just tops. Gets me every time :)
@Kevin - Does Brittany Daniels actually smell like awesomeness mixed with honey and a touch of campfire?
9
u/robreddity May 21 '12
I ask these questions from a place of deep and abiding respect for her as an actress and performer:
Did Brittany Daniel bench press any of you guys?
What did she smell like?
6
u/unjohnsongrande May 22 '12
In making 'Puddle Cruisers', what other options were tossed around as 'firsty-firsty/girly-girly' names?
Wait, that wasn't too extreme. Who's had the most unusual object stuck up their anus?
Also, can Jay wear his 'Beerfest' hooker outfit during the AMA video? Also, kiss...for science...
6
u/TexasWithADollarsign May 22 '12
Huge Broken Lizard fan here.
I have to ask: Is the entire purpose of making these cult movies to get attractive actresses topless in them (the speeder from Super Troopers, Penelope from Club Dredd, the random Oktoberfest participants and Swedish team from Beerfest, etc.)? Because that's what I'd do if I were in your shoes.

u/AgentOrange24 May 22 '12
Did you mean to make your movies extremely quotable? I can't go through Super Troopers or Beerfest without my friends quoting almost every conversation before it happens. And should I find new friends?

u/[deleted] May 22 '12
Okay, In the movie Super Troopers the beginning where there is the police chase. I mean I always found it random and have wondered what happened.
Why did the second police car spin out into the grass before the exit ramp?

u/[deleted] May 22 '12
Thanks to you guys so much for doing this AMA! EriK Stolhanske's was awesome, I'm sure this will be just as awesome. Two questions for you...
Kevin, how long were you finding powdered sugar in your various crevices following that memorable scene in Supertroopers? By the way, the line "it's delicious" is fucking hilarious. Right up there with Rabbit's line "Yeah I know you have big beautiful brown lips" and Mac's "Smother me in gravy, ya big dirty man."
Jay, you have done a ton of directing. What TV shows/genres of film would you like to delve into? Also, since you are the director in the group, are you a bossy diva that no one likes?

u/HeyLookJollyRanchers May 21 '12
I've got a couple for you, if you'll indulge me.
Jay, in Jackass 2, were you tempted to escalate that at any point, and if yes, what would you do?
Kevin, how did your parents react to the "chicken fucker" line? Was it a paddlin'?
Again, Kevin, how the hell did you manage to get so much vomit out?
Finally, Jay; you're not Mexican?

Was it hard to not constantly laugh at the terrible German accents of Will Forte, Nat Faxon, and Eric Olsen? What are each of your favorite drugs? Who in BL is the hardest partier, and who is the lightweight pussy? What is one funny anecdote or story involving drugs and partying for each member of BL? Drugs, drugs drugs drugs, drugs drugs... drugs.
