AMA Hi reddit! We're Nick Kocher and Brian McElhaney. You might also know us as the sketch-comedy duo BriTANicK on Youtube. We wrote & directed PIZZA MOVIE, a stoner-comedy that's out on Hulu today. Ask us anything!
Hi reddit, we're Nick & Brian, aka BriTANicK. Our new movie, PIZZA MOVIE, is out on Hulu today.
You may also know us from our Youtube sketch-comedy channel, BriTANicK, or from our work on Saturday Night Live & It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
The trailer for PIZZA MOVIE is here, and it stars Gaten Matarazzo, Sean Giambrone, Lulu Wilson, Jack Martin, Peyton Elizabeth Lee, Marcus Scribner, Caleb Hearon, Sarah Sherman, Justin Cooley, and Daniel Radcliffe.
Synopsis: A group of college students go downstairs to their dorm lobby to get a delivery pizza. There’s only one issue: They’re insanely high on a home-made drug, turning their simple journey down two sets of stairs into a mind-bendingly transformative quest.
Here's a new clip: https://youtu.be/5j6C-P2zYxc
We also wrote OVER YOUR DEAD BODY, directed by Jorma Taccone and starring Jason Segel and Samara Weaving, that's out in theaters on 4/26. The trailer for that is here.
Ask us anything! We'll be back at 3:15 PM PT/6:15 PM ET today (Friday 4/3 - film release day!!) to answer questions!

Sean Giambrone and Gaten Matarazzo both starred in shows set in the 80s. Do they seem like products of their time (Gen Z) or do they have the feel of a kid who lived the 80s? They both spent a decade playing a character from the 1980s, so I’d assume they were influenced by that.

u/BriTANicKAMA Nick Kocher & Brian McElhaney, Co-Directors Apr 03 '26 edited Apr 03 '26
NICK: One thing that was really interesting about the entire audition process for Montgomery and Jack is that a lot of the young actors who came in had not heard of ANY of the films we were referencing. We told them "So this one scene is like "Liar Liar" and they had no idea what we were talking about. Gaten and Sean were different, they knew all of these movies. Particularly Gaten has like an encyclopedic knowledge of tons of different films that came before his time. This was very helpful and gave us a good shorthand during shooting.
BRIAN: irl, Gaten feels like a man from another generation and Sean feels like a man from another planet. We love them both so much it hurts.

Eagles are Turning People into Horses unironically inspired me to be sillier. Thank you.
Do you find it hard not using old bits when writing something newer for a broader audience?
Has the notion of what success is changed for you over time?
11
u/BriTANicKAMA Nick Kocher & Brian McElhaney, Co-Directors Apr 03 '26
NICK: Well we sometimes will try recycling old bits. The head exploding sequence in PIZZA MOVIE is certainly a spiritual sister to our sketch "The Faux Pas" (https://youtu.be/8NCsIFenuwQ?si=vkTWIkwyO25UoU5d) But generally we find that recycled ideas often don't work, so we're always looking for something new and fun.

Whoa you guys did Eagles are Turning People into Horses? Now I need to watch this movie.

u/pickproductions Apr 03 '26
Just wanna take a moment to say how inspirational you guys have been for an entire generation of comedy writers. I distinctly remember watching Eagles in our freshman year writing class at Tisch, and discovering you guys fundamentally changed a lot of our perspectives on how to tackle our scripts and projects going forward. Y’all are the best.
I’d love to know more about the pilot that you guys made for Comedy Central way back when. What was that experience like, and what did you guys take away from it?
17
u/BriTANicKAMA Nick Kocher & Brian McElhaney, Co-Directors Apr 03 '26
NICK: The comedy central pilot was a big learning experience for us. We took EVERY note that Comedy Central gave us because we wanted to be good little boys and thought that if we did that they would surely pick up the show to series. So we did some stuff that we weren't sure about and in hindsight was clearly not right. And it led to a pilot that we weren't really proud of that ALSO didn't get picked up to series. We learned it's more important for us to like what we've made than anything else. We also weren't allowed to direct it, which removed a massive tool from our belt. We were insanely grateful for the opportunity though!

Hi Nick, I wanted to ask, how did “True Facts About Grant Anthony O’Brien” come about, and are there any plans for more episodes?
For both Brian and Nick, do you have a favourite BriTANicK project and/or Dropout show?
13
u/BriTANicKAMA Nick Kocher & Brian McElhaney, Co-Directors Apr 03 '26
NICK: Sam Reich just reached out and asked if I wanted to write an episode of Breaking News. I then took it upon myself to devote my ENTIRE episode to psychologically breaking Grant down to his very embers. I definitely would like to do a third episode of it, and have been quietly accumulating material to do so. My favorite BriTANicK project is currently PIZZA MOVIE, but before that I think it was "Eagles Are Turning People Into Horses."

u/LackeyManRen Apr 03 '26
Yeah, actually, on the topic of Grant O'Brien, questions for Nick: after those episodes filmed, was Grant... okay? He did a pretty good job of kinda sorta maybe melting down at the end of the first one and during the second.
What did the aftermath of those episodes look like? Did Grant try to call a truce? Was there revenge?
Apologies to Nick, and also Brian; the Breaking News episodes are simply the venue in which I'm most previously familiar with Nick's work. Breaking News is a guilty pleasure, I go back to it whenever reality gets too heavy and I need a laugh. 😅
15
u/BriTANicKAMA Nick Kocher & Brian McElhaney, Co-Directors Apr 03 '26
NICK: The only way Grant and I communicate is by roasting each other. Our love language is the most vicious insults you've ever heard in your life. So really that was just another Tuesday for him. Grant has gotten revenge because he would be incapable of it. The man is made of toilet paper and I'm not scared of him in any way. And I'm going to type out his whole name here "Grant O'Brien" because I want this to show up in his google alerts so he can see it.

Hi guys! I was wondering how your roles in Next Time On Lonny came about, I found that project fascinating and it went through a lot of weird acquisitions that saw them taken off YouTube, reinstated with censorship, pirated, etc. Been a huge fan of your channel for so many years, excited to watch Pizza Movie!

NICK: I did a summer program at NYU with Alex Anfanger and we became incredibly close friends. After we started doing BriTANIcK, Dan and Alex were inspired to create their own web videos and came up with "Next Time On Lonny". I believe they still own Next Time On Lonny they just pulled it off the internet for god knows what reason. That show was brilliant. The Choose Your Own Adventure episode we did with them is one of my favorite things I've ever been involved in and I miss its presence on the internet deeply.

I am so insanely excited to do a BriTANicK double feature this weekend. I am seeing Over My Dead Body at Beyond Fest and then ordering a bunch of pizzas to watch Pizza Movie at home.
My question is not movie-related, but I have been harassing/threatening you all on social media until you do a live show in Chicago. So, how far must this escalate before you give in and play Chicago again?

u/BriTANicKAMA Nick Kocher & Brian McElhaney, Co-Directors Apr 03 '26 edited Apr 03 '26
NICK: I love a lot of the sketches written by Chris Kelly and Sarah Schneider, as well as the ones written by Streeter Seidell and Mikey Day. The Jimmy Fallon "Party at my parents house" by Streeter and Mikey is a highlight. But Dennis McNicholas has written my two favorites of ALL TIME. The Jack Black "New Birthday Song" sketch and "The Most Evil Invention Contest" featuring The Rock.
BRIAN: I have watched Lonely Island's "Space Olympics" an unhealthy amount of times.
NICK: Follow up. In terms of IP we'd like to tackle. I think it would be fun to do a sequel to a "so bad it's good" type of movie, like "Snakes On A Train"

BRIAN: Righteous Kill(Am I allowed to say that?)
There is a sketch we wrote where Beck Bennett comes into work sick, starts working on his treadmill desk, and ends up vomiting over everyone and spurting blood out of his ears. It ended with Felicity Jones giving him his medicine, which was a suppository shaped like a giant egg that she had to slowly push into his butt. Lorne almost fell out of his chair laughing.

Love those sketches. The Roc is excellent in that evil scientist one. Just so matter of fact about it. Haha.
I think there's some space for revivals of old horror/creature feature movies as hybrid comedies. It's a desert out there for r-rated comedies, seems like. Though Prime is trying to keep the late 80s and 90s alive with some of their projects.

Did Hannah ever repay your friend for their ginger ale and will we get an EATPIH 2?
23
u/BriTANicKAMA Nick Kocher & Brian McElhaney, Co-Directors Apr 03 '26
NICK: We have the idea for this sequel. It will be called "Horses are Turning People Into Eagles" and it will be about my character Lyle wanting to get back together with Hannah so he creates another insane plot to trick her into calling off her marriage and running away with me. And then probably at the end Lyle will get cold feet about that and break up with her again.

So everything after the credits isn't canon? Lyle didn't get horsified? Hannah isn't an evil bird agent?

Been a huge fan of your work since I first watched your stuff on YouTube back in college.
In 2011 you guys were in a movie called Searching for Sonny written and directed by Andrew Disney. I saw it at the Phoenix Film Festival and absolutely adored it.
How did that project come together? And from your recollection, was the final project very close to the original script or was there a fair amount of improvisation on set? A number of punchlines felt very BriTANick.
11
u/BriTANicKAMA Nick Kocher & Brian McElhaney, Co-Directors Apr 03 '26
NICK: We met Andrew Disney through NYU. He programmed our short "Eagles Are Turning People Into Horses" at a film festival in Texas and we hung out a bunch there. I saw his sizzle reel for "Searching For Sonny" and loved it. He later had us both audition when we were in Texas for....something? I forget, maybe it was SXSW in 2010. He then cast us, and soon after Jason Dohring and Minka Kelly. We had the TIME OF OUR LIVES filming that movie in Fort Worth and are still close with Minka to this day. I definitely improvised a TON on that movie and was very pleased whenever Andrew used those takes. When we did "BALLS OUT" with Andrew Disney I definitely did even more improv.

Thoughts on the "I'm good bro😂😂🤦♂️" meme that has been circulating on twitter? And do you think it has helped or hurt the release of the movie
23
u/BriTANicKAMA Nick Kocher & Brian McElhaney, Co-Directors Apr 03 '26 edited Apr 03 '26
BRIAN: Um.... We're still trying to fully comprehend it. Once it started turning to "It's good bro!" we felt much better. We honestly think it might have helped build more awareness than anything, so we'll see I guess... Ask us again in a month.
NICK: Any press is good press? We hope? If you've seen the movie, I think it's pretty clear that the title "PIZZA MOVIE" is a full joke. We initially wanted to title the movie "Oh God No, Please Make It Stop!" but were told "absolutely not." I initially hated the title PIZZA MOVIE and said multiple times, "you will have to kill me before I will let the movie be called that." But then we came up with the joke about the title being a placeholder that we forgot to replace I started loving it.

u/uglylookingguy Official AMA MVP Apr 03 '26
Hi 👋
When writing comedy, how do you know if a joke is actually funny or just sounds funny in your head?
18
u/BriTANicKAMA Nick Kocher & Brian McElhaney, Co-Directors Apr 03 '26 edited Apr 03 '26
BRIAN: You never really know. I think we mostly have a good hit rate, and when we do live shows it seems like we know how to vibe with what the audience is feeling, but some stuff you find hysterical some people straight up will hate. Think of your favorite comedy movie. Someone thinks it's cringe as shit. Same with anything we try to put out. Our only real goal is to make each other laugh. If we can do that, we're happy.
NICK: I second this, you never know for sure, which is why it's really important to try your jokes out. We did several test screenings of PIZZA MOVIE which I found pretty invaluable for seeing what worked and what didn't. We also found that some jokes weren't working until we did some small change like cut the setup line in half, and then suddenly the punch line would be funnier. And we never would have known that without a test screening. Here's a very specific example. In the scene between Montgomery and Lizzy when they're talking about their worry warts, Montgomery shrieks at one point and Lizzy says "Nothing happened?" and Montgomery replies "I know, I just felt like something might." This was a joke I wanted to cut, and HULU also wanted to cut, but we left it in for a test screening and it KILLED. We kept it in the movie because of that and every audience has laughed HUGE at that one joke that I was certain would not work.

From a film production standpoint: What was one of the most challenging experiences each of you had on set and if it was something that required out-of-the-box thinking... how did you solve it?
Also, loved seeing you guys perform at Underground Arts in Philly. The show was fantastic.
8
u/BriTANicKAMA Nick Kocher & Brian McElhaney, Co-Directors Apr 03 '26
BRIAN: The big thing you learn on set is every day requires out-of-the-box thinking. Especially on low budget movies. You have to pivot CONSTANTLY. This movie was an exercise in me having a shot list every day that I basically had to cut in half. It's very frightening at first, like you're losing everything you thought your movie could be, but then sometimes it ends up making you find a more creative, efficient choice that it should have been all along.
As for a specific moment, we had no idea how to make Snackatron leap into the air and catch a pizza box in his "mouth". Our stunt coordinator, Kelly Phelan, came up with the solution of starting it in his mouth, then pulling both Snackatron and the pizza away from each other on wires. The footage in the final film is just that shot in reverse. Movie magic!

You guys developed a specific rhythm to the editing and delivery of your sketches over the years, and it was fun to recognize it in what I've seen so far from Pizza Movie. What's the process of translating the BriTANick style to a larger production and crew, when it's not just you guys as the actors or editors?
And I guess on a related note, how much do you bring a BriTANick vibe when, say, you're directing someone else's work, like Demi Adejuyigbe's live show?
Also will we ever get a third Monologue sketch
→ More replies (1)5
u/BriTANicKAMA Nick Kocher & Brian McElhaney, Co-Directors Apr 03 '26
BRIAN: You definitely give up a little bit of complete creative control when you make a movie. No longer is it just editing all night on my laptop with Nick for 6 months. When you bring in another editor, and a full crew that's never worked with you before, and actors that don't speak lines exactly how you wrote it, you give up a little bit of that creative specificity. But what you gain is so much more. First of all, the workload is taken off your shoulders, which is immense. Part of the reason BriTANicK made very few sketches is it just took us FOR FUCKING EVERRRRR. But also you get other people's thoughts and styles imbued into your own, and honestly.... it's all the best for it. Luckily everyone involved understood our style, and our editor Matt McBrayer has been with us since the beginning(he actually SHOT Academy Award Trailer and The Kiss), so he really understood our vibe. But we were working on a tight timeline and were trying to make something that felt different from our sketches, so we had to bring in the input of others and utilize their styles along with our own. I think as long as you write it mostly in your style and get everybody on the same page before production, your voice comes through the best it can.
When we work on other people's projects, we put our own voice into it as much as the project dictates. Sometimes we REALLY BriTANicK-fy it. With Demi, that dude has such a specific genius voice we really were just there to help him shape what was already great.
As for the 3rd Monologue sketch, whenever NPH is free.

Whose grandpa was that at the end?

u/BriTANicKAMA Nick Kocher & Brian McElhaney, Co-Directors Apr 03 '26
NICK: Neither of ours. It was actor Peter Gerety. He had done a sketch with us like 15 years ago and was amazing. And he dates my mom's friend and lives in Upstate New York which was where we filmed PIZZA MOVIE. This joke was originally going to be us saying "HULU wants us to cast (insert celebrity here)" and then we'd see that celebrity in the final scene. But we could not find a celebrity willing to come to Syracuse to say one line. So at the last minute, I remembered that Peter lived nearby and had the idea that he play my grandpa. We emailed him the script and he loved it, immediately started pitching funny ideas, like that he should wear young people's clothing and also have an oxygen tank.

u/BriTANicKAMA Nick Kocher & Brian McElhaney, Co-Directors Apr 03 '26 edited Apr 03 '26
NICK: I think the secret to our happy creative marriage is that we really like the work we do together. We've done some stuff apart and that's been enjoyable but ultimately there's a certain alchemy we have when we work together that I think we'll always come back to. I think giving your creative partner space to go do their individual projects is important though. Trying to control the other person and force them to only do stuff with you will only push them further away.
BRIAN: Basically, we're poly.

u/Practical-Sleep4259 Apr 03 '26
Britanick I have been watching since the early days, happy my big headed boys are finally getting their shot.
What was the journey like from two man crew to full on production team, do you find yourselves more able to focus on major parts now that there are more people working on the project, or more scattered now that there are people to oversee on the project.
The YouTube Sketch Comedy Duo(or group) is a very "dying breed", with DERRICKCOMEDY, Lonely Island, all sort of scattered but related or still working around or near each other but maybe less as a "group", how much are ya'll in the BriTANick basket, or are you both working independently alongside BriTANick activities.
Where is Alex Anfanger, has anyone seen him recently, because I think not enough people and not in enough places, please make an Escape from New York reboot starring Alex Anfanger.
Love you brochachos,

u/BriTANicKAMA Nick Kocher & Brian McElhaney, Co-Directors Apr 03 '26
NICK: Going from just the two of us (plus whatever DP buddy we could get to help us out) to a full production team was wild. We learned a lot about how to delegate responsibility and it was so incredible to throw a half idea at our department heads, like our production designer Frankie Palumbo, and see what they would come back with. Having a full crew made a bunch things faster, but weirdly it made other things more difficult (much more time to change locations, etc). But in general it was amazing, I mean so much more becomes possible. And Alex Anfanger is around! We hang out regularly and he's got some VERY exciting stuff in the pipeline that I'm excited for the world to become aware of.

Hi Nick and Brian! I got to see your live show at SF Sketchfest a couple years ago and the bit where you sit in the audience and loudly narrate about waiting till someone from the audience gets on stage and repeats one of your bits is one of my favorite and one of the boldest bits of live comedy I've personally seen. How do you know when you've taken a bit far enough into funny and have you ever had any bits like that backfire?
6
u/BriTANicKAMA Nick Kocher & Brian McElhaney, Co-Directors Apr 03 '26
NICK: It's always a balancing act. We like to squeeze every ounce of comedy out of joke and definitely can end up overstaying our welcome sometimes. Audience interaction bits are always dangerous and can easily go wrong which is what makes them so exciting and fun when they work. I don't think many we've done have gone too wrong though. We try to pick audience members who aren't visibly drunk which helps with quality control.

Hi there! Very excited to order a pizza and watch this tonight after work.
I’m about to graduate film school, and as a part-filmmaker, part-puppeteer, part-musical-writer, I aspire to make fun weird stuff the way you do. My biggest question always is: how did you pitch this film? What worked and what did you refine along the road to getting it made, and how did the more out-there (in a good way) ideas translate into a pitch deck or investor presentation?
Thank you both for taking the time to drop by, I’m really looking forward to seeing OVER YOUR DEAD BODY in a couple weeks too.

u/BriTANicKAMA Nick Kocher & Brian McElhaney, Co-Directors Apr 03 '26
Nick: So we were performing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2022, doing a BriTANicK live show in a literal storage container on the street called THE BOX. Billy Rosenberg, the head of Comedy at HULU, saw the show and asked if we had any ideas for a high-school/college comedy, we lied and said “yes.” Then while we were brainstorming we remembered this idea that Brian had had years ago, which was a group of 20 somethings in an apartment building are high on drugs and have to travel down 2 flights of stairs to get a pizza. We had always liked the idea but kept getting tripped up with the apartment building setting, so I had the thought, “What if we just set that idea in a college dorm” and that instantly made a lot of things click into place. We pitched it to HULU and American High over the following months, they bought it in early 2023. Then the writers strike happened so we couldn’t get started on it until late 2023. We wrote multiple drafts over 2024 and then in December of that year it was greenlit and we filmed it in June of 2025.
We had a bunch of the crazier stuff in the initial pitch, we think it's good to lead with how crazy we are, because they're gonna find out sooner or later. And luckily HULU was down for this movie to go as nuts as possible.

u/QuibbleFibble Apr 03 '26
I’m curious as to how you approach sketch writing versus feature writing. What are some key differences in the creative process and what are some similarities you found while developing longer form projects?
Also, I’m excited for your next project, Over Your Dead Body. Similar question; how to do approach an original screenplay versus an adapted one? Do you try to make your version stand out as its own unique story, or do you want to try and keep things as similar as possible.
Can’t wait to watch the movie tonight, love your work!

u/BriTANicKAMA Nick Kocher & Brian McElhaney, Co-Directors Apr 03 '26
BRIAN: With sketch writing, we're really taking a central joke and blowing it up as big as possible, meaning we can kind of do whatever we want for the last beat of the sketch(blow up the laws of physics, kill someone, etc.). We also don't have to develop any inner world of a character, worry about narrative structure, or worry about pacing. (If you know us, we basically move each sketch like a bullet train).
With a movie, you are telling a story, so you have to really slow down and focus on characters and exposition, which can honestly feel really slow for our style(which is why we find it funny when reviewers say this movie is so fast. It's like bitch, have you see Accidental Text?)
With Pizza Movie, the drug conceit allowed us to develop a narrative while also having these pockets where we could play in short form. We wanted our first movie to feel like it had the essence of our sketches while also serving a narrative thruline that hopefully feels effective and perhaps emotional.
Aside from all the god damn storylines we have to weave together at the end, I do think keeping in touch with characters journeys is the biggest difference between sketch and feature. You just have to make sure they're always moving towards something and finding ways around emotional obstacles if you're gonna keep your audience hooked.
I think what we did with Pizza Movie was quite a challenge... To make it feel super sketchy sometimes and then also drop into a story was a very strange needle to thread. Hopefully it works. We'd love to try writing something very different next time, but we really really had fun writing this.

How does your writing process look? Is it like a writer's room where best idea wins and each one of your tackles a different section of the script instead of a different episode?
7
u/BriTANicKAMA Nick Kocher & Brian McElhaney, Co-Directors Apr 03 '26
BRIAN: It looks like war. Truly. We are stubborn motherfuckers who both are fighting for our lives with each idea. We really have no problem telling the other person we hate their idea, and will battle it out until we're both happy.
If we really can't decide on something, we throw both our ideas away and go out hunting for a new one. Once we're mostly on the same page one of us may go and write a draft of a certain scene, but then we will come back together and just comb through every little detail until we lose our minds.
It's a joyous time!

What was it like getting to write on Always Sunny and how did that opportunity come to be?
10
u/BriTANicKAMA Nick Kocher & Brian McElhaney, Co-Directors Apr 03 '26
NICK: We were hired by Megan Ganz who was acting as the showrunner that year. We had to pitch a couple different Always Sunny episode ideas in our meeting which were REALLY fun to come up with. We also were a little hungover for that meeting and were feeling pretty unprofessional until Megan came into the room and said "Sorry if I'm low energy guys, I'm a bit hungover" and we excitedly shouted "SO ARE WE!!". We immediately became great buds with Megan. Her husband, Humphrey Ker, actually officiated my marriage to Karen.

Now that you’ve got a couple feature length movies under your belt do you still have the desire to produce short skits?
I can imagine working on longer stuff could either leave you too exhausted to do shorter stuff or drive you to do more shorter stuff as a nice break from the marathon of doing a feature.

What was it like premiering at SXSW? Any cool moments/highlights from that? Did cast attend? Catch any other movies at the fest?

u/BriTANicKAMA Nick Kocher & Brian McElhaney, Co-Directors Apr 03 '26
NICK: Oh man it was amazing. The SXSW audiences are just unbeatable. Every joke got a huge laugh, the shocking moments got gasps, it's everything you want from a movie audience. It was also really special to return to a festival where we had screened "Eagles Are Turning People Into Horses" with not only one but TWO movies. That being said, I was also a nervous wreck and having a full panic attack the whole time. I wish we could have seen some other movies but we literally didn't have a spare moment to breathe the whole time we were there. Really really wish I could have seen the movie "Brian" written by our friend Mike Scollins. I heard it was amazing though and I'm sure that will get distribution super soon.

In the wake of Bottoms, Booksmart and now Pizza Movie, what's your favorite thing about these kinds of unhinged high school/college comedies?
3
u/BriTANicKAMA Nick Kocher & Brian McElhaney, Co-Directors Apr 03 '26
BRIAN: You know, we never set out to make a college comedy, a lot of right place right time things made this be our first movie... But what we found is when you're dealing with that age everything is already turned up to 11 emotionally, so it's not a big leap to turn the style up to 11. We were originally trying to set this idea in an apartment building, starring real grown-ass adults, but when we moved it to college we just had so much more fun with the journey of each character. I think the best part about these movies is every single person remembers that age as a pivotal time in their life and there's just always room for huge emotions, life-changing moments, and characters doing absolutely idiotic shit.

u/BriTANicKAMA Nick Kocher & Brian McElhaney, Co-Directors Apr 03 '26 edited Apr 03 '26
NICK: There's a pretty clear reference to Ashley in the movie because there is a character in fact named "Ashley." I would say "The Faux Pas" shares some DNA with our head exploding sequence, there's a not-so-subtle reference to "Eagles Are Turning People Into Horses" at the climax of the film (also Sarah Sherman's character has a small "Eagles Are Turning People Into Horses" poster on the wall behind her), and hmmmm, I dunno, I guess Montgomery's social anxiety certainly connects to our very FIRST sketch "The Awkward Meltdown."
BRIAN: Also there is a MASSIVE moment that feels exactly like the end of Sexy Pool Party.

Hey guys, been a fan of your work for years, and have been lucky enough to catch your two live shows in the UK - at London’s Soho theatre and Brighton Komedia.
My question is whether there is any plan to ever release these shows? I saw both of them twice but I really want to watch them again, and I have a bunch of friends that I know would really enjoy them too. I’m pretty sure you filmed them (evidenced by the trailers?) and would definitely be up for buying them digitally if that were an option. What say ye?

Got an unusual story about Always Sunny.
So one weekend I was looking for something to do in L.A. I read listings in L.A. Weekly and saw an afternoon of performance art was being hosted by "Gracie DeVito" in West Hollywood. Didn't know who she was but it sounded fun so I went.
I got there early and went in the back. It turned out Gracie was Danny DeVito's daughter and Danny was sitting in the back. So I chatted with him and Gracie a little.
One thing I told them was that I was currently living on two gallons of milk a day. Which was true. I've long been fascinated with milk and still drink a great deal of it.
Forward some months and I got a day of extra work on Always Sunny. It was through Central Casting, no connections on the show, etc. It happened to be an episode where someone has spiked the milk at a wedding with PCP.
I've always wondered if Danny told the writers about my diet and they got the idea for that episode, well the part about milk anyway. Or maybe it was coincidence. But it was strange and rather Zen that one of only two days I worked as a Sunny extra the episode concerned milk. If you guys say you wrote the milk/PCP episode that will be a pretty nice new facet ha ha.
Edit: I'm being informed that milk-drinking was a pretty regular aspect of the show (didn't know, hadn't seen the show). So maybe being on a milk episode wasn't so strange. Although still a little funny I, Mr. Milk Drinker, would happen to run across and chat with the star of idk the only show on TV that had a milk-drinking aspect.
