Montez! You kick ass. What is Alice like outside of the show? She plays a bitch way too well
Alex4G12325 karma
How often do the guys smoke weed off camera? Have you ever partaken with them?
erikgriffin58 karma
we NEVER smoke weed. I never have, and I cant speak for them, but it NEVER happens on set. Its not a documentary the show isnt real. sorry to disappoint you.
iamnotdanethomas24 karma
You should come to Oklahoma and get drunk with me. That would be pretty cool.
iamnotdanethomas27 karma
If shit goes down, I will get my ass kicked for you. Also, I won't do anything to you while you sleep unless its agreed upon beforehand.
pton1623 karma

Blake Ders Adam

Well the line was really PUSSY, but.. you know cant say that on basic cable.
cobaltcollapse18 karma
Does Comedy Central getting rid of Futurama make you feel any uneasiness with your show?
milhouseuz17 karma
Why'd you get so upset over the cream cheese? It wasn't even good cream cheese. That honey walnut is where it's at....
LessThanLaura17 karma
I saw you live in Portland! Are we going to get more Montez in the next season? You're one of my favorite characters!
lfisher2k16 karma
If you could go back in time to karaoke with any former American President, who would it be?
lfisher2k10 karma
He'd be OK. I would chose James Buchanon. He would be able to provide the bass to my falsetto
CGRampage13 karma
I don't have a question, I just want to say that you're awesome! Thanks for all the laughs!
mameinhisname8 karma
Hi mr griffin! Huge fan. What has been your favorite episode of the series so far? Do you plan on doing Stand up in Philly any time soon?
Big_Rig888 karma
Sup Erik. Just out of curiosity I'm actually from rancho cucamonga,ca. How did that end up being the citys name for the show?
wombraider58 karma
Erik! What do you think of this season compared to the previous? Thanks for the AMA!
erikgriffin6 karma
It suppose to be PUSSY, but they wouldn't allow that on comedy central.
txjdiesel7 karma
Is Salmon Cream Cheese really good enough to slap someone over? Also, I'm definitely watching your special tonight with my coochie mold.
erikgriffin12 karma
You have no idea, I ruin a lot of takes laughing. Adam is tooooo funny
Wishywashy24246 karma
Hey! I met you in indianapolis in Feburary. At the show where those lesbians got kicked out. How do you feel when stuff like that happens during your stand up shows?
cargoman895 karma
Big fan of the show. How much of Montez is you just being you, and how much is the writers coming up with ideas/your persona?
erikgriffin11 karma
Montez is total character i am not really like that, maybe a small inner freak, but thats mostly just what they come up with and my take on it.
SylvesterLundgren5 karma
WE BE SMACKIN BASSSSS!!! Erik Griffin i just wanted to say your hilarious, i love you in workaholics and your new comedy album is hilarious, i wish i coulda seen your comedy central in BOS but i unfortunately missed it. My question...you get any of that sting ray coochie on set?
erikgriffin11 karma
On set? haha I wish. But daddy is taking care of business on the road :)
aworford3 karma
Do you feel it's better to get your stand-up shown later at night on Comedy Central, so they don't bleep the crap out of it (not just you per se, but comedians in general)?
Always excited to see hilarious comedians on Comedy Central, but when the premiere is on at 8PM, I know that I'm going to lose some of what I came for... midnight is what I'm all about!
ForGoodnessJake3 karma
ERIK GRIFFIN! How do you calm your nerves before you go on stage? I've always been told im a funny guy, but I just can't get myself on stage! Also, any comments on Amanda Bynes new haircut?
erikgriffin9 karma
Amanda Bynes is my girl, she just doesn't know it yet. You just gotta get up there and face your fear.
LIFEOFFUCKS3 karma
Erik, first I want to say thanks for the pussy...t-shirt. My friend works at the Comedy Club in Madison, WI and he brought you by the pizza place down the street, you gave me a shirt and apologized that you only brought a large, not knowing how short I was.
I'm just going to be corny and ask, What was your favorite part about Madison?
Damnskipp3 karma
Hey Erik, quick question. Did you actually have to see Blake's junk in that episode of Workaholics (forget what its called)? Thank you for your time!
Loweded3 karma
I am a huge workaholics fan and when I say huge I mean like I've seen every episode at least 5 times.
My question is What has been the most memorable moment as a part of the Workaholics crew?
erikgriffin8 karma
It was COOOOOLD! And I love walking around the mall and meeting people.
lolnotacop4202 karma
You're fuckin great in the show man. I seen em all but one that sicks out is the hovercraft one man shit had me fuckin LOLin and it takes alot for me to laugh at a show. Waymond ratted you out bra. Do you improvise alot or is it mostly scripted? I feel you all probably improv ALOT
erikgriffin6 karma
I know Waymond is the worst! He is a boss on set though, I love Waymond.
erikgriffin5 karma
Montez, with out question. but thats because i dont have a long list of characters haha
billtaft2 karma
Erik, my girlfriend went to your standup show in Madison, WI where she took a picture with you and told you about my fandom. When she wasn't sure if she should buy your vagina shirt for me you told her "JUST DO IT, HOW WON"T HE LOVE THIS?!" Just wanted you to know you were correct, even if i'm not sure where i'm allowed to wear it...
My question- how much input do you have on the dialouge of Montez, and are you involved in the writing of the show? Or does MOC take care of most of that?
erikgriffin5 karma
I sometimes improv but its mostly scripted. I don't write, I wish i did. :) Its a hilarious show.
twentysomethinger2 karma
Erik, what was your first stand-up gig, and how did it go? Favorite joke of the set, and one that you'd rather forget?
erikgriffin5 karma
It was at the Comedy Store in Los Angeles, the graduation of a comedy class. My favorite joke was about my big nose.
lbeast322 karma
In your opinion who or what in particular is the biggest cancer to the comedy world? Other than the FCC.
I vote hipster comedians who talk about how they can't talk to girls.
erikgriffin16 karma
white Liberals who get offend for OTHER people. Get the stick out of your ass!
maxman30002 karma
I've heard that a good amount of Workaholics is improvised. Is it just the boys or do the other actors have that kind of freedom? Any improv gems you care to share?
erikgriffin4 karma
Its mostly scripted. I have improvised a few lines, like Lord of the Rings, repregnatized.. but its based off the script, the guys do a great job.
pnoystonr2 karma
Your fucken hillarious,
is it true that most of the scenes in Workaholics are improvised?
erikgriffin6 karma
The show is 100% scripted, we improvise on some takes but its based off the script.
ravensfan68892 karma

pnoystonr1 karma
