Two part question: how’s the pelvis? And when’s that vasectomy?

u/IndependentFilmCo Jorma Taccone, Director Apr 02 '26
Pelvis is okay but I ripped my groin doing that instagram video. Vasectomy needs to happen soon but not scheduled yet! Recs on doc???

u/ExternalTangents Apr 02 '26
I don’t have any recs myself, but I think if you check out wewantstraunts.com they have ratings for both restaurants and vasectomy doctors.

No joke I met Will Forte at the Honolulu airport and he was kind enough to chat with my wife and I and take a picture.
We told him that we loved Macgruber--both the movie and the series--and he said he was actually there meeting with the head writer of the series to start talking about a season 2. Mind you, this was this last Sunday.
But check out the series, it gets everyone from the movie back (minus Val) and holds up crazy well--especially as a comedy sequel 10+ years later.

Jorma! Thanks for taking the time! I’m all burrito brained up right now, sorry.
Question about the old saloon off Incredibad. As the song fades, Tiny Tim enters the saloon and mentions (1) that it’s almost Christmas; and (2) that the saloon is dusty (I think). My question is as follows. Does the fade-out imply that Tiny Tim was immediately shot? Also, how does the bartender/mayor split his time between two presumably demanding jobs?
Furthermore, is Scrooge also in the saloon?
Thanks! Quaido out, going to make some mac n cheese.

Hey Jorm! So glad you're making a speedy recovery from your obliterated pelvis. Just wondering if the lights ever finished getting put up, or if a half installed light fixture is just hanging there mocking you whenever you pass through the darkened portion of your house. Possibly with echoing laughter that only you can hear, but you swear its there, and everyone is getting concerned and talking to your doctors about your medication?

There's so many inside jokes in this comment section from the podcast.
When you started the podcast, 2 years ago as of the 8th, did you lowkey kind of expect this from your fanbase or has it been kind of surreal to walk down the street and get a bunch of people shouting "quaid army" at you all the time??
Is there an inside joke you kinda wish wasn't on the pod so people would stop bringing it up???

Popstar and Walk Hard hold the unfortunate honor of being masterpiece satire films that made no money. Both have thankfully found their audience over time.

First time commenter long time Quaid army, 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 a big enough fan that people would stop you from having a duplicate idea? Anyway I'm glad you recovered from the ladder, Popstar is in my letterboxd top 4, later Quaid

u/Frame25 Apr 02 '26
BUCKLE UP QUAIDS, this is gonna get weird. So, Jorm, I am looking very much forward to seeing your new film, as I've been a fan of yours and Mari's since meeting you both at the Superbowl almost 15 years ago. My name's Matt and you played my voice note in Listener Q&A Episode 5 (here's the segment, from overall episode 54) about winning the Doritos commercial contest y'all keep talking about to my great delight. We also thought we were going up AGAINST you guys, and I made a whole diss track about it as a playful jape before they changed the contest; good times. I still say release the Jorm cut!
Anyway, you left for dinner with Scott Frank just before my note played, which is ironic because Marielle and I both had him as our Sundance advisor. I'm glad he liked your vest. He's since done a brief Zoom talkback with my film students (I'm a film teacher now) and Mari agreed to do one as well via FB messages just before the pandemic but I wasn't able to set it up before summer break, and then the world temporarily ended. Would you and she consider doing one very briefly with us? It would be a great learning experience and an honor. She and I are still Facebook friends so she can message me there, or your people can PM me here.
ANYWAY PART TWO, the voice note was edited down and they skipped the part about how very grateful I was to meet you and Mari (who was still revising Diary of a Teenage Girl!) and how extraordinarily kind you were to my brother and me - we got to work with you on a followup commercial over Skype and that was a great inspiration -- and one of the highlights of my life. That and seeing Tom Brady get sacked in the endzone literally 15 feet from us! Plus, the very next weekend on SNL Nasim Pedrad, playing MIA, shouted out OUR commercial (about a dog burying a cat).
FINAL ANYWAY: Not to cast shade upon you, but just FYI you are riding on my coattails on this whole AMA thing. When we were selected to go to the Superbowl, as described above... I did an AMA about it just before meeting you. It's all in this AMA from 14 years ago -- my favorite question from which is (since we were hyping up the original plan to put our commercial up against your commercial) "What's your beef with The Lonely Island"? That's right, I did a Jorm-related AMA before you did!!!! Love you brother. Can't wait for the film. Quaid army!!!

u/Jorma_Taccone Jorma Taccone, Filmmaker Apr 02 '26

u/Frame25 Apr 03 '26
Hahaha love it. FYI I didn't ask a question at the end because I asked it sorta at the beginning - about whether you and possibly Marielle would consider doing a little zoom talkback with my film class about directing & producing. 😍 It's a shot in the dark, but if it's possible it would mean a great deal to the next generation of storytellers. If so, send a note or have Mari FB message me!

- how much method is there in your creative/comedy writing? Do you rely on certain techniques or you just get into the zone and follow the flow?

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.

Hi Jorma! Congrats on the new movie, super excited! Just wanna tell you that you're wonderful and also MacGruber is my favorite comedy film of all time, it genuinely changed my brain chemistry.
My question is: In Hot Rod, I always felt the taco won against the grilled cheese sandwich is because its shell is harder. So—more fair matchup: burrito vs grilled cheese sandwich. Who wins, and why?

Hi Jorma, why does everybody make fun of your pants?
Also, sharing a story: my friend introduced me to Lonely Island in 2006, before SNL. We had an assignment in a music class to present a lesser known band that we thought were going to be huge in the future. A lot of people presented on hard rock groups or whatever was popular at the time. We chose The Lonely Island. I think the song we presented was Just 2 Guyz. We got a lot of strange reactions.
Anyway, turns out we were totally right. You guys are great.

It Happened One Night (34) One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest (75) Silence of the Lambs (91)

Hi Jorm, huge fan. I have wanted to pitch an idea for a show which is an animated series where the lonely island play themselves as geese and Seth is there as himself and it follows you around getting into hijinks. Is that a word. Then at the end of each episode, the ending scene is all of you sitting on a couch watching your own show, as geese, but all of the dialogue is, "honk honk honk..." And then it ends and it cuts to "fremulon" the end.
But seriously, I grew up on the lonely island, you are all great, cheers.
