Hot Rod | The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast Episode 11

[@bhseigel]

This film single-handedly helped me get through my deployment in Afghanistan. This script essentially became the background music for the entire year, and brought me so much joy during a very emotionally crushing experience. Thanks to each of you so much.

[@MrDanieloneill]

I'm sorry you joined the army.

[@lovetrioni]

I love this, I am glad you were able to power through the difficult phase

Hot Rod contains perhaps my favorite line in all of cinema: “The bathroom here is nuts”

[@alexanderduben2051]

Saw if after long time this weekend. Almost died of laughter at this scene.

[@nightripper799]

My favorite will always be “pools are perfect for holding water, man”

[@GeorgeJackson47645]

This movie has the highest density of quotably hilarious lines. The deleted scenes too!

I will always preach that Hot Rod is one of theee most underrated silly comedies of all tiiiime!!!

[@matthewwisner2153]

Such an insanely quotable movie. Some people have Napoleon Dynamite. Some people have Borat. I have Hot Rod.

[@jkap34]

I have dodge ball quotes and tropic thunder quotes

[@MosHighChadro]

"Borat" is fucking gold. But "Hotrod" is hella underrated... I love it. Just like "Grandma's Boy"

[@andrewberna4045]

“I’VE BEEN DRINKING GREEN TEA ALL DAY” goes off in my head an inordinate amount of times during the week.

[@hiatusfromtheworld]

I know Seth thinks it's "dumb," but this is the movie that has made me laugh the hardest, the most consistently. I consider it one of the funniest movies ever.

[@Hugh_Jas]

Hot Rod is an underrated masterpiece of comedy. My friends and I still quote it regularly. Just yesterday I said "don't even ask, just bring it!"

[@MechaBorne]

Hot Rod was one of the first things me and my best bud bonded over 12+ years ago. We did Kevin's spin dance move at our senior prom and still break it out every once in a while

"hey do you feel like listening to this podcast about hot rod?" DON'T EVEN ASK JUST BRING IT! Seriously guys, this is one of my all time favourites. I spent a winter training to be a snowboard instructor when I was 19 or 20, our whole crew watched and quoted this film religiously. Many extremely long and very painful falls were had, despite calling for the protection of our ancestors or summoning the soul of the bottlenose dolphin before each run. So many good memories, thank you for this movie!

[@petermiller819]

I have purchased 3 hard copies of this movie. I randomly saw it theaters bc my buddy got free tickets. Hands down top comedy of all time for me. I cant even count how many times ive seen this. I lost my 3rd dvd of it so now it'll be four haha. Perfect movie. Thank you guys.

[@coacherne]

Richardson's dance is one of the top 5 OMG I can't breathe and have laughed until it hurts all over laughs for me. I dearly LOVE this movie.

[@AnthonyRocchio]

My daughter is 13.. and I've literally never heard her laugh so much in her life. Even the broken window bit had her going a while.

[@TheChrishod]

Vastly underrated movie! One of my all time fave comedy films. When you're going on a date, you put on a shirt and ride your bike to the daaaaaate 😂

[@andrewhardy8114]

Dude, it's insane you guys have gone so long without watching this! Hot Rod is one of the best movies of all time, it's up there with Pineapple Express and Scott Pilgrim when I come to quotes and iconic moments! Love all your guys work, and I hope you come to love it as much as your real fans 🙏🏾

[@0ffendingeverybody]

"You can never never never never Never Never Never Never "

[@tximinoman]

Saw it yesterday for the first time and definitely got the Billy Madison/Wet hot American summer vibes from it. Laughed a lot with it. Can't believe it took me this long to watch it, honestly.

[@jessf_]

both the “i’m rod and i like to party” scene and “i said you look shitty, goodnight denise” *sprints away* make me howl with laughter every time i watch it 😭 also this made me go back and rewatch the film today, just as funny as the first 4 times

[@reesespeanutbuttercups7584]

Hot Rod taught me how to make friends. no joke just started doing shit like they did as a 9 year old. Before that I pretty much didn't talk. My parents were worried. now they're just disappointed

[@Todd-_-Umptious]

Finding and setting off bags of fireworks with strangers sitting on a curb is the only way to make actual friends that I'm aware of. The movie really delivers on sound life advice and I'm glad it worked out for both of us; though I think I was 20 when this movie came out but fuck man, Never too late to make your first friend XD

[@busykeys7444]

That’s a beautiful story

[@geelee1977]

Pools are perfect for holding water man

[@mangokilla127]

I quote this movie constantly even though most people don't pick up the reference :')

[@NathanS__]

I loved Hot Rod. It feels like that 80s90s nostalgia film that not actually set in those periods. It's friends hanging out, having adventures.

[@TheTozotube]

Hot rod is my family movie, everytime there is a sleep over with a new friend, hot rod is like the familiy initiation. I love that you guys are talking about it still! This is probably the most iconic movie of my childhood. Absolutely masterpiece. ❤

[@mnchls]

There's honestly nothing I enjoy more in life than a deep inside-baseball dive into niche goofball comedic fare from the mid-aughts. My face hurts from grinning the whole way through this. I love this film so so so so much. I can't wait for part two, but I could listen to these buds tell stories from the film for another twenty parts. Cool beans!

[@alexk-p4829]

This was one of my favorite movies through high-school. I have many great memories of watching this at sleepovers

[@frostknocker]

I'm from the town this was filmed in and this movie is still one of the most beloved movies of the area, can't even remember how many times we watched it when it came out.

[@davidturner4987]

I love that movie. I actually bought the dvd because I watch it at least once a year. Just outstanding.

Hot Rod and Superbad are the 2 best comedies ever

[@LutherVandals]

So many small parts that are so hilarious. When Rod goes "rhodesian, of course" i died laughing

[@ty_sylicus]

Just rewatched it today and the film still holds up. I honestly had several moments of audible laughter. Thank you.

[@ActionJoeyD]

Hot Rod is my favorite movie, it was a mainstay at house parties, and the way Ian McShane said "you couldn't beat a drum" was absolutely devastating

[@thrildmedia8798]

So many good one liners in one movie. "there's no tool in this pool!"

[@ChriStyle181]

“Did you reinforce the takeoff ramp?” Immediately I knew this film was for me. So funny. Thanks fellas.

[@brendanrexus3009]

The crucial part of the line where Kevin is showing Rod his browser is where he said it’s something else he’s working on “for mom”

[@nightripper799]

“Yeah mom loves that kind of stuff”

I happened to get a pre-release screening ticket for this through a friend’s gaming store. A group of us went, seeing it at the local drive in. It has been one of my favorite movies ever since. Thank you for Hot Rod, sincerely.

[@rossieevans]

been waiting for this one

[@badad0166]

I highly recommend Whoopie Boys. You won't learn anything, but there are stellar moments and likeable leads being rascals and a boy meets girl to move everything along. Great ensemble with Denholm Elliott, Eddie Deesen and Taylor Negron all banging out quotable lines. We used to watch it after work every night for like a year. Wore out the VHS. Beer was involved. While I'm here, the "Morning Of" sequence in Hot Rod gave me, truly, my biggest laughing fit in 20 years. Speaking of stellar moments.

[@ericfellner2689]

Hot Rod is maybe the movie I've watched more than anything else.

[@Gorbgorbenson]

The idea of Rod flipping a waterbottle, then his mom backflipping made me laugh incredibly hard.

[@Frankoman64]

I love HOT ROD, still one of my favorite comedies!!!!

[@zekegreyhound]

Underrated movie. So good!

[@LZentertainments]

I love Hot Rod so incredibly much. I just recently rewatched it (for like the 5th time). It is utterly hilarious. My brother in law of 15 years of age absolutely loved it too.

[@TwistedSkeinCrochet]

Hot Rod was my sons favorite at 2yrs old! Was Hot Rod for halloween and He would wheelie his balance bike and ask if we wanted to see a Big Ass Stunt! 😂 he is 8 now still Loves the movie and most jokes are still over his head... He asks and we tell him some stuff is still above his pay grade to explain... Huge Fans in our house!

[@DSpokemonDS]

Why was your son watching TV at 2yrs old, let alone a movie like this? Smh some parents really suck at parenting

[@teiigzz6607]

Hot rod is a core childhood memory and one of my favorite movies🤣 I can just see the mom hitting a backflip and it just pans to Andy’s face and he does the “whatever” face like in b99🤣

[@ActualChef]

This is the hardest I’ve laughed listening to these episodes. They’re all great, but Hot Rod is pure gold.

[@bcjdjjdjfjjdks7889]

Im gonna watch palm springs tmrw. SO EXCITED

[@MitchMeetings]

I am rewatching now and all these jokes are landing for me. I love when he find s out frank is dying and wips out a Baton and says one more for the road.

[@Jestinace]

I discovered this movie when an older sibling rented it from blockbuster around when it was released. Since then it found a second and then third life with different friend groups of mine throughout the last decade +. More than any movie I think this shaped my sense of humor the heaviest.

[@dustinh.3725]

Hot Rod is one of my favorite movies, great to fall asleep to!

[@y5mgisi]

Hot rod is one of my all time favorite movies. Watched it dozens of times.

[@xxty-pharbz75]

[@EdOuellette]

This movie is so fantastic. I am delighted others fell in love with it, too.

[@ActualChef]

I’ve always loved Hot Rod and it’s a go-to. It’s ridiculous and hilarious and full of heart and I’m so glad it found its footing.

[@Tacofreak]

The first time my sister watched Hot Rod she asked if y'all followed me around for a few days to get ideas. Needless to say the movie and all of the characters resonated DEEPLY with me.

[@jabzinaut]

Yeah don't you ever tell me how to live my life again. I saw Hot Rod in theaters Summer of 2007 with my siblings and they wanted to see Hairspray after, but I ended up just seeing the glory that is Hot Rod again by myself. My clip of the Cool Beans scene I recorded in the theater still lives on my dead Motorola Rizr Z3 somewhere in the universe. Hot Rod will always be a comedy classic and hits all the right humor notes - the random jokes/bits and reactions are on a whole other level, and some lines/moments that may not seem funny on paper are hilarious due to delivery or not sitting with/explaining the joke and you're laughing like "wait, what was that??", it's beautiful. The perfect comedy and in a league of its own and still brings me and my friends to tears from laughing. It truly is a movie that was made by friends and you're along for the ride, the love shows through, Hope the boys keep making more movies like it MAY YOUR HAMMER BE MIGHTY

[@coalescence]

Had to pause this podcast, to go watch HOT ROD again. It will always be on my list of favourites.

One of my favourite movies. Plus playing John Farnham, brilliant.

I was in a hardcore punk band years back and we played that song before a set once. It was an epic entrance.

Sine the day I watched HOT ROD I've used "You're the voice" as my alarm clock... cause I want things to start super positive and then get crazy

[@jazovideo]

Had to scroll waaaay too far down to find the first mention of this brilliant scene and song choice

[@MrBananaCheeks]

I think this is the movie that helped some people in my hometown understand my sense of humour. I started getting more laughs after this lol

[@Mondo_182]

Great hearing the guys who wrote it quote it 😅 love this film

[@Mag_Nus32]

Hot Rod is literally my favourite film. Every single scene is highly quotable and the cast is heavy as fuck. Love that they got Ian McShane. Really good.

[@FULLofJOHN]

Honestly one of the greatest of all time

[@broccoliboy7874]

I grew up watching HOT ROD and it pretty much formed my sense of humor lol

There is no tool…in this pool 😂😂

[@eruption257]

So many questions I didn't even know I wanted answers for that have been in my head for the last 15+ years are getting answered here and it's so good. I've been wondering why the hell Kevin had a Whoopee Boys poster on his wall since the first time I saw this movie and the answer has somehow surpassed all expectations. I can't believe the studio offered that up as an option.

[@primis82]

As a Brit I'm offended you bleeped the C word! 🤪 Also I love this movie and I love you guys, I could listen to you talk about it for hours ❤❤

[@xwinger15]

Great podcast, gents! Sorry to spam comments, but that's what I was thinking throughout. I'm one of that percent that listened til the end (I do a little channel myself). Love your work, SNL, and especially the Incredibad album!!! You too Seth, SNL legend for sure!🎉 56:48

[@shayla4007]

about the puking; hot rod is one of my favorite movies ever made, and so the last time I came down with a stomach bug i put it on while i recovered from throwing up, only to realize as I watched it that rod pukes like five times in this ninety minute film. other than that it’s actually a pretty good sick day movie lol

I watched Hot Rod for the first time when I was in elementary school. It replaced the Producers (2005) as my favorite movie. I turn 23 in a few days and Hot Rod is still one of my favorites. This is such a treat, thank you :)

Sad that it wasn't received so well, I watched it with my brothers and cousins on a campout and none of us knew anything about it and it wasn't an instant favorite for all of us. It's one of my kids favorites now too

[@straydogstrut00]

Damn. I need that bottle flip scene.

[@BurtSampson]

First time I ever saw Hot Rod was 2009 or 2010, and i was in prison. I was already a big fan because we always watched snl, and this was the golden Samberg, forte, Hader, whig era, and Hod Rod made me almost shit myself with laughter. Thanks for making a really bad part of my life a little more tolerable.
