We're Kevin Heffernan, You Know The One, and Steve Lemme, That Steve, from Broken Lizard- Ask Us Anything Your Funny and Twisted Minds Can Throw At Us
Kevin and Steve here from Broken Lizard (you know the list; Super Troopers, Beerfest, SLAMMIN' SALMON- we went there, etc), you guys always prove to be a lot more fun than the people we typically answer questions from, so lay them on us. Anything, any where, any hole.
We've got a new comedy special on Netflix this month, Fat Man Little Boy. Watch it, you'll love it, MAKE love to it.

Lemme here. Kevin has stepped away. - You're welcome. From time to time people tell us a story about one of our movies having special significance to them. It's always great to hear.
essextwo27 karma
I've been dying to ask this for years. In EVERY movie you guys do including the standup special you recently added to netflix... one of you always says "WHATS UP SOBEY" or something similar. Its usually kind of hidden in your other movies and I believe it started in puddle cruiser. Whats the story behind it? Thanks.
RealKevinHeffernan61 karma
Yeah. It's "what's up Soapy?" Soapy was a friend of ours from college. We gave him the nickname Soapy and he hated it so much we vowed to put it every movie we ever do.
RealKevinHeffernan21 karma
Plan is to shoot this year. Still negotiating with Studio but script is written. I think Steve wrote "I need wood." Which he does.
ram_it_VA18 karma
Have you ever stopped having sex in the middle of it? If so what was the reason.
DatKaz14 karma
Will we ever see the use of Erik's prosthetic leg in a Broken Lizard movie?
JoyceBanicheque14 karma
I grew up in Hamilton, NY, any chance you guys will do any filming there for other movies?
RealKevinHeffernan23 karma
The man was awesome. I miss him. A scaaaary dude but a very funny dude. We didn't know it but he was a great improvisor.
Hybeltiger12 karma
Who is your guys favorite comidian, and what is your favorite comedy movie or series?
grrrtotes11 karma
I said this in your last (group) AMA, but Slammin' Salmon was a tight flick, and I'll cock-slap anyone that says otherwise.
RealKevinHeffernan11 karma
Okay everyone! Sorry about the delay. We'll try to do another, more organized one. Thanks to everyone who participated though.
Remember to watch our new comedy special "FAT MAN LITTLE BOY" now available on Netflix.
And we are launching our new podcast "CHEWIN' IT WITH KEVIN AND STEVE" tomorrow, March 6 on Nerdist.com.
See you soon!

Slammin Salmon is one of the most underrated comedies EVER! So Super Troopers 2 is a go? Are you two still working with the other three? Jay, Paul, and Erik?
RealKevinHeffernan8 karma
Hells yeah. We're all linked at the hip. 5 man bicycle and all. Love the Salmon. Would like more people to see it!
TheTeamCubed6 karma
Two questions: how the hell did you guys get Juergen Prochnow to be in Beerfest? And what was his reaction to having to do the requisite submarine scene/Das Boot jokes?
Can't wait for ST2!
RealKevinHeffernan10 karma
We sailed him over from Germany on a uboat and wined and dined him with Schnitzel und Becks. He was a great sport. Everyone likes to take the piss out of themselves!
ellafitz6 karma
Forwarded from your original post:
Hi guys! My boyfriend and I caught your show at the San Jose Improv a few month ago. You guys were awesome! Steve, you wrote "Matt, I need weed" on the poster we got. He went back to the car and brought you guys a little gift. That was one of his proudest moments.
When do we get to hear more about Super Troopers 2?
RealKevinHeffernan13 karma
Plan is to shoot this year. Still negotiating with Studio but script is written. I think Steve wrote "I need wood." Which he does.
Predicts_Circlejerk4 karma
Are you aware that Kevin James is most famous for playing a character called Doug Heffernan? You guys are basically the same person.
RealKevinHeffernan5 karma
Lemme here. Kevin has stepped away. - And his first name is Kevin. It's weird. Kevin hates him because of it. But he also hated Jim Gaffigan and then Gaffigan was in ST and now they are friends. So there is hope.
RealKevinHeffernan6 karma
Lemme here. Kevin has stepped away. - I just told Kevin what you said. He's crying tears of joy.
combing_kansas4 karma
what was your guys favorite movie to work on...as far as best cast and crew behind the scenes
RealKevinHeffernan19 karma
Behind the scenes, best movie was Club Dread. Just for the setting. Tropical resort for 2 months! Can't beat it!
RealKevinHeffernan10 karma
No. There are kids in third world countries who never get oreos.
RusJ2 karma
I think it's time to start #OperationOreo for the kids who never get to experience the fantastic pleasure of cookies with a creme filling.
RealKevinHeffernan6 karma
Lemme here: it's a good idea but apparently Nabisco is being investigated for misappropriation of oreos.
RusJ3 karma
Dang. I knew Nabisco was up to shady business when the regular stuffed are the same price as double stuffed. They must still be using them in terrorist negotiations.
PaulKelly12343 karma
Irish fan here, huge fan of everything you guys have done. Thanks for the Ireland mention in Beerfest! What's the weirdest country you've heard of having a fan base in?
RealKevinHeffernan14 karma
Kevin: North Korea. Rodman is a big fan. Steve: Antarctica bc they dont need to use fans there.
ellafitz3 karma
How did your parents feel about your nude scene in ST?
I bet they were proud
RealKevinHeffernan20 karma
Lemme here. Kevin has stepped away. - Kevin's parents could not have been proud for people to see that little tuna can dick of his.
My parents were very excited to see my taut behind. As were millions of screaming teenagers.
LulaWho132 karma
Are you aware that many moons ago your crazy fan base had a large gathering in the Mid-West, where we chugged syrup, made t-shirts, and drank so much my liver is still recovering? What I'm trying to say is, IF WE DO IT AGAIN WILL YOU COME?!
Edit- LizardPalooza was in 2004 - was anyone else on here there?
RealKevinHeffernan7 karma
Only if you remove the syrup. We now cant go within 50 yds of syrup.
LulaWho132 karma
Also, thanks for always being so goddamn awesome. Back when the old website was up and you guys personally answered/responded things (as you still obviously do), I seriously made life-long friends from those message boards.
(Lemme is my P. Swayze)
RealKevinHeffernan4 karma
Lemme here. Kevin has stepped away. - I just saw a Lizardpalooza t-shirt. I might tweet it. I heard it was a very sexual weekend.
RealKevinHeffernan18 karma
Always. We love to give something back to the ladies. Esp as we get older.
rhalifax2 karma
You guys are the best! Can't wait for Super Troopers 2! Is Potfest still going to be made?
RealKevinHeffernan20 karma
Yes. We keep getting distracted while doing our research but ST2 first.
javert012 karma
Hey guys, my friend and I saw you live when you all did the Broken Lizard tour and stopped in Raleigh. We absolutely loved that you ended with a Beerfest homage and challenged members of the audience to a Beer Race. If anyone has ever wondered if they really did the drinking in Beerfest, I can definitely attest that they are the real deal.
Speaking of Beerfest, how is Potfest coming along?
RealKevinHeffernan2 karma
Check out our stand up special bitches! On Netfilx. Fat Man Little Boy. Also have a podcast launching on Nerdist.com TOMORROW!!!
RealKevinHeffernan2 karma
Chewin' it w/ Kevin & Steve. Nerdist.com or on itunes. Every Wednesday!
WoodFloorLicker1 karma
Speaking of podcasts, I heard that you guys are doing the super cool and awesome podcast known as The Radio Freaks tomorrow night at 9pm ET. Is that true? What's the name of your podcast?
jdi_nit2 karma
When you guys are writing your movies do you kinda have it laid out as to who's going to be what character or do you figure that out after the writing process is over? Also, how do you decide who is who?
Thanks, you guys are awesome!!!!
RealKevinHeffernan3 karma
We've done it a bunch of ways. For ST we wrote it first and then auditioned. For Club Dread, we had more of an idea ahead of time. Cool to not know then everyone writes jokes for everyone.
gtrmu232 karma
You answered my chickenfucker question in the last AMA you did with Jay (thank you for that so much by the way. It made my day). So, I have to ask, do you plan on bringing that line back for Super Troopers 2?
bo-badrinath2 karma
Is it intentional that Heffernan often plays the guy who "saves the day"??
RealKevinHeffernan4 karma
Lemme here: what has he saved the day in? let's start with that.
RealKevinHeffernan5 karma
Best present we ever got? After shaking hands with everyone in the crowd one night, a girl gave us a case of Purell. So thoughtful
RusJ1 karma
How high are your expectations going into this film? Also do you guys keep a lot of the improved material in the final cut of the film?
fap-on-fap-off1 karma
What was the suckiest line from one of your own films that you used more successfully in another context, and what was it?
RealKevinHeffernan2 karma
We don't have sucky lines. But one that I use all the time is from Slammin Salmon. Vivica Fox has the line re: her character "Nutella is hungry." I say that all the time when... I'm hungry.
iamaredditer1 karma
What movie are you the proudest to have made? Do you ever find yourself just laughing your ass off at some of your scenes even though you know what is going to happen?
RealKevinHeffernan4 karma
Kevin: Slammin Salmon bc I was lucky enough to direct. Steve: Hot Black Buns 8
Kevin: I dont have an ass.
LulaWho131 karma
Hey guys! Huge fan and former stalker from the old website days - Was wondering if there are any plans for the whole of Broken Lizard to do a tour? Also, you two, come to NW Arkansas, we need some good comedy. (Thank you for doing Doug Loves Movies, too! Again please!)
RealKevinHeffernan2 karma
Oh you're the stalker. No plans rt now for BL tour. Guys doing their own thing. But will happen again at some time. Probably around next movie. Doug Benson is cool. Go razorbacks!
WoodFloorLicker1 karma
Do you guys get tired of people quoting lines from your movies to you? How often do they get them misquote them and get them wrong?
RealKevinHeffernan5 karma
I always take great pleasure in correcting them. I like when they quote Heffernan's lines at Lemme.
kuhndog51 karma
Thanks a lot for answering my questions! My best friend is a film guy (Super Troopers is what made him do film, his favorite movie ever). He is working on a stop motion animated show about dolls running a porn shop. If you guys wanted to check it out, would be absolutely amazing when you have the time. The pilot is on the site http://gihoesworld.com/
RealKevinHeffernan2 karma
We've often been described as heavenly. Come back down bro. We'll talk you thru it.
revolut1onname39 karma
Just wanted to say thank you for Super Troopers, I still remember the day I saw it for the first time as one of the best days of my life, and it's also a film I've never tired of introducing others to.
So, thanks!
