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

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.

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

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

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

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!"

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

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.

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 😂

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.

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.

"My name is rod, and I like to party"

This is my hat now! This is totally my hat! 😂😂😂

Pools are perfect for holding water man

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

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

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 🙏🏾

Thanks for making a special for my favorite movie with my favorite people ❤️

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.

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

Im gonna watch palm springs tmrw. SO EXCITED

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”

been waiting for this one

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!

Childhood favorite. Hot rod molded my humor

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

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.

Underrated movie. So good!

I’m a simple man. I see Hot Rod I click

Hot Rod and Superbad are the 2 best comedies ever

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

"Thet's not a staplah... this is a staplah!" - Office Dundee

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

I can not get over Jomra's joy doing the ad reads 😅 it's probably my favorite part each week!

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.

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

Single greatest film of my generation ❤❤❤ thank you lonely island for staying weird!

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

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!

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

Damn. I need that bottle flip scene.

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

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

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

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

This movie is so important to me and my sister. It made us become best friends

"Why you name yourself Voltron?" "CAUSE ITS FREAKIN AWESOME" That's my kind of movie!

Fattening water with no self control lol Subed!

This is my hat now! This is totally my hat!

I can't wait to find out if it was a huge box office success!!!

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🤣

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

There is no tool…in this pool 😂😂

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

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.

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.

I love Hot Rod so much! Im so glad you did this episode

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 ❤❤

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.

To this day, whenever the wife goes into a store and I stay in the car I yell at her 'hey grab some dong bags so we can knock boots later' 🤣👌

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.

This was our school's one dvd that was watched whenever a teacher was out

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

If it was a three way bachelor party...that's that incredibad.

Omg best morning in ages!!!!❤❤

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

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

Seth calling himself the Connor Roy of this podcast is so funny

WHaaaWHY are they saying WwwHHHaaaatt whaaaaaaatttt way

I don't want to listen to this podcast, but I needed to make a comment that HotRod is one of my favourite movies

The "WHHat" Gang Starr reference is JFK 2 LAX.

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

Best podcast going! Love it so much

one of the first movies i remember watching, and its still one of my favorite movies ive ever seen

OH MY GOD YES

Cool beans. One of my all time faves

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.

Honestly one of the greatest of all time

what a classic 10/10

From the first joke you knew this movie was gonna be ridiculous. “Did you reinforce the takeoff ramp?” “No, we didn’t have time”

I watch Hot Rod maybe once a year. 🎉

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

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.

"Dave's not here man". A partier turned professor, or even partying professor, legit! I had a piece of metal fly into my eye when trimming a bracket for a staircase. Building houses for a summer job. Not a lot of green tea tho

Gotta do a video podcast guys! stoked to start listening!

I second what @bhseigel said but for my senior year of high school. You guys created what I feel is my core humor identity. Ha. Favorite movie to this day. Been so excited for this episode.

babe wake up there's a new The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast episode

I missed it in theaters and grabbed it in the $3 bin at Walmart one summer night. Easily the best $3 I have ever spent.

The vibes at the end of this podcast were very “THE DOC’S ALIVE! I mean he’s in the old west but…. HE’S ALIVE!”

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

when i was 18 we wrote a bunch of hotrod quotes on a classic batman costume and went to a dive bar

It also was in theaters at the same time as super bad and the simpsons movie if i am remembering right.. hard to break out with that competition

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 :)

In the movie commentary, right at the end when the Technicolor logo came up they joked that Technicolor would be a good dog name. And so I had a little dog named Tech. RIP.

Yay!
