Ask Adam Scott (me) anything.
Thanks for all the great questions! This was so fun, can't wait to do it again--Go check out ACOD is you're so inclined...GOODBYE.
Adam
AMA.
POP_THAT_ZIT979 karma
Dear Adam,
I'm a big fan. I just had a couple of questions for you:
What's the status of the Party Down movie?
If you had Ron Swanson's mustache, would you gel it up like you do with your hair? Something like this.
Thanks!

How many takes did the "is she going to powder her vagina" scene in Parks and Rec take?
Starts around 3:05: http://www.spoilertv.com/2012/09/parks-and-recreation-season-4-bloopers.html

How bummed were you when Frankie and Joey the Rat told you they didn't want to be your lackies no more?
jsto34735 karma
Adam, Step Brothers is one of my favorite movies. I saw it 9 times in theaters. My favorite scene in the entire film was when you and your family did the a capella version of ‘Sweet Child of Mine’. How long did that take? Also, you play the perfect douchebag. PS, It’s the fuckin’ Catalina Wine Mixer.
_AdamScott761 karma
I think it took all day. I did not sing at all. Everyone else in car was singing live. Which is better.
Fart-sniffer727 karma
Serious question. Aziz, like Tom, is a bit of a food connoisseur, so I imagine he must pass gas on set from time to time. What do his farts smell like?
starthirteen653 karma
Shouldn't you be at work at the lumber yard? Those pinewood derby cars aren't going to stack themselves.
bookish-malarkey552 karma
Are you as big of a fan of Game of Thrones as Ben is? Anyone in particular you're rooting for to win the Iron Throne? (Also, thanks for doing this AMA and for being awesome.)

I saw you in line once at a Starbucks in Studio City and I wanted to say hi but you looked like you didn't want to be bothered.
Hi.
lamelamblamp359 karma
Hey Adam! Just wanted to say I'm a big fan of your work, especially Party Down and Parks and Rec. All I want to know if I have your permission to use Ben's Low-Cal Calzone Zone as the name of my calzone shop, if I ever decide to open one that is.
And also, today is my birthday and life would pretty damn stellar if you happened to acknowledge my existence. Thanks for being you!
_AdamScott747 karma
Happy birthday and go ahead, you have my permission. Though NBC my sue the shit out of you.
BMan84313 karma
Hey Adam. You seem like a wise man of wisdom. My ex wants to get back together. Should I?
gosmj312 karma
Hi Adam. I read on here that you hate to eat barf. Do you REALLY hate to eat barf, or were you just saying that?
damienbREC302 karma
When exactly did the following movies release? Remember hearing on Fallon that you're really good at this. Airplane. Return of the Jedi. Dumb and Dumber.
_AdamScott510 karma
Kristen Bell last night was great. Billy Eichner coming up is so funny
stolarz88251 karma
Adam, I do not have question, please respond accordingly.
Sincerely, bored working peasant.

I loved your appearance on Talking Bad a few weeks ago. Were you satisfied with Breaking Bad's ending?
kissograms207 karma
Jesse Pinkman moves to Pawnee post-Breaking Bad, what do you think happens? Go!

How is it working with aubrey plaza? is she almost the same as her character April?
mkwierman187 karma
What's it like having two first names?
Seriously, what movie have you seen the most? Not necessarily favorite or best. Just the most. How do you feel about it?
Keep up the great work on Parks and Rec. I'll keep watching.
freakethanolindustry163 karma
Mr. Scott,
What is your favorite joke of all time?
Keep up the awesome work, sir! Thank you for countless laughs.
_AdamScott677 karma
whyd the monkey fall out of the tree? It was dead. favorite in the 2nd grade, holds up
JuggaloRando152 karma
I watched The Vicious Kind a few years back, and I enjoyed it, but what made you take the part? It was such a twisted movie and so different from what I usually see you in. Also, huge fan since Party Down.
TellThemIHateThem133 karma
Adam I'm in my mid twenties and balding. I love you and you hair. Will you donate some of your hair to me so that I can have hair and also a part of you with me always.
RodCannon2127 karma
What was it like to work with Amy Poehler in such a different capacity in ACOD as opposed to Parks and Rec?
TheRiverFox90 karma
How do I convince my friends to see ACOD with me? I have a few Parks & Rec fans in the mix but most are not really familiar with yours and Amys hilarity
_AdamScott444 karma
Tell them you'll live forever if you see the film, then when you arrive at the theatre break the news to them that it isn't true and you don't want to be friends w anyone how'd believe something so stupid.
TheDuskDragon85 karma
Do you ever plan on taking the lead role of a movie? What would that movie be called?
GrandfatherJesus82 karma
Adam,
When was the last time you guys went on a super long walk through a city and just to the outskirts where it turns into either the woods, the desert, or just like walking right into the ocean just depending on where the city is?
peterlew80 karma
Mr. Scott, you are so funny and have a great subtle acting ability. I will usually watch anything to see you in it.
What's your favorite album right now?
tylerdurden0379 karma
To whom it may concern (Adam):
If you were to open Ben's Low-Cal Calzone Zone, who would you rather manage it: Jean Ralphio or Jerry.
P.s. Choosing Jean Ralphio also means Mona Lisa as assistant Manager.
ganja_is_ganja75 karma
Hello Mr. Scott,
I have a couple of questions. What was it like to work with Will Ferrell? What is your favorite scene you've ever shot?
Lastly, any advice for someone that wants to get into acting one day?
Thanks for doing this!
_AdamScott115 karma
I'd say stick with it, don't stop--all I had on the others I started with is I never left, stuck around.
RodCannon271 karma
Hey Adam, big fan, what was it like to film the birthing scene in Knocked Up for you?
Butterasafood67 karma
What is your favorite TV shipper pairing? (Excluding Ben and Leslie and Ben and Andy)
Cinemaphreak44 karma
The "Hart to Hart" and "Simon & Simon" odes were hilariously random vids to stumble upon. Any more coming up?
MissAutonomy42 karma
COULD YOU grow Ron Swanson facial hair if you didn't shave and rubbed Olive Oil and Almond Oil into the roots to promote hair growth?
At a movie theater which arm rest is yours?
Also your a great actor and I love your work

If I'm presented with the opportunity can I give you a helicopter hug? (That's when I pick you up and spin around once while going "WHEEEEEEEEEEEE!")
EarthboundCory39 karma
Hey! I've been a fan of yours since Boy Meets World and Party of Five (yes, an adult male who has watched Party of Five), and I'll gladly watch anything you're in.
My question: How did you get involved with Friends with Kids? Your scene with Jon Hamm (and the rest of the cast) at the dinner table in the cabin was incredibly awkward and tense, and it stands out as one of my favorite scenes from a movie in the last few years.
A.C.O.D. looks great, along with having a pretty great cast. Keep up the good work!
_AdamScott61 karma
thank you, friends with Jon and Jen, they asked. Not sure why but glad they did.
AnkleFarm39 karma
I'm a big fan of your comedy work but I also really liked you in The Vicious Kind. Any more dramatic independent films coming soon?
Ashley004236 karma
I'm super excited for A.C.O.D., but with the limited release I'm not able to see it (I would have to go to San Francisco to see it). Do you know if it's going to open up to more theaters? If so, when?
_AdamScott219 karma
It will spread in the coming weeks. Throughout the nation, like a charming disease.

What/who were your biggest comedic influences growing up? What's your advice for people trying to write comedy?

Hey Adam! Last year, you came to Winnipeg Comic Con with Billy Dee Williams. (You made fun of me for wearing a Starfleet Uniform to the Q&A session) Why where you there with Billy Dee?

Hi Adam
Love your work.
Do you have any unusual tastes in food or any food combinations you suggest others try?
_AdamScott27 karma
twice, both times preventable by me if I kept my mouth shut. Lesson learned?

Have you come to appreciate the majestically beautiful tragedy that was Li'l Sebastian? Massive fan of you and the rest of the cast of Parks & Recreation by the way
