BRETT GELMAN IS HERE TO CHANGE YOU!

When is the iBrain coming out?

Very soon.

Are you and Hot Saucerman still feuding?

Not right now, but given our history a conflict is always right around the corner I fear.

Any plans for an upcoming Brett Gelman & Tim Heidecker have lunch?

We want to do more, but we've both been very busy, but that could happen soon.

Is Gelmania ever coming back?

yes! We're going to start recording again next week!

When are Messmore and Buford coming back to Comedy Bang Bang Halloween?

Probably next Halloween.

Brett, how much of the Brett & Tim Go To Lunch sketches were improv? Tim always seems like such a normal guy when he's by himself in interviews, does he turn into a nut when he's around other people like you or Eric?

Tim is a very well adjusted guy. He plays nuts. He's a great actor, he is not nuts.

The lunches have a bit of an outline, but they are mostly improv.

Eagleheart is one of the funniest shows I've ever seen and I think it's a damn shame that more people didn't latch onto it like my friends and I did. It was especially frustrating to see "Too Many Cooks" become such a gigantic viral sensation because I felt it had a very similar sensibility - I was surprised to find out Woliner wasn't involved in the making of it, honestly.

But what if Eagleheart were to experience a similar sudden surge interest, belated though it would be? If a shitload of people suddenly started getting into the show due to some random clip going viral, do you think there'd be a chance of you guys getting the band back together for a fourth season?

Also, I enjoyed your last special and I'm super stoked to see the new one tonight. Do you and Jason have plans to make more stuff like this? More specials or maybe even a new series of some kind?

Unfortunately I think that Eagleheart is done. It is a shame that it didn't latch on in its own time, but that's what happens to a lot of great work. However Eagleheart is not my call. If Jason, Michael, and Andrew asked me to do more, I would do it. However the 3rd season ended the series in such a beautiful way, I don't know how they'd do that.
Jason and I plan to do more of these specials, and also are going to try and make a movie together. But it'll be independent, so we have a road ahead of us. Hopefully not too long.

If I was wearing clown makeup, would you funny fuck me?

I feel like this is a trap. Regardless, NO WAY!

If Zachary Quinto slapped your child would you slap his child back?

What would you do?

Sorry, dumb question. For tv: I'd slap him. For real life: I'd ask everyone around if it's okay to slap him. No need to get the cops involved.

I wouldn't slap his kid, but I'd probably beat the shit out of him.

And by HIM I mean Zachary, not his kid.

Who (actors, comedians, directors, artists) would you most like to work with that you haven't already? You're grounded in comedy but I could see you doing some Marina Abramović type of work.

Thank you so much. There are so many people that are on that list, I don't even know where to begin. For starters Woody Allen, The Cohn Brothers, Kate Blanchett, Tilda Swinton, Kanye West...

What's it like to work with Jason Woliner? He seems to lay low but is hilarious. Does he ever raise his voice?

Jason Woliner is a complete monster! Does he raise his voice? Does a bear shit in the woods and wipes his ass with tree bark? Jason is one of my best friends, and we are always on the same page creatively. But we are like brothers and can some times drive each other nuts.

mustard:pro or con? ketchup:pro or con?

PRO! I'm a Jew! A Jew who does not like mustard is not a Jew!

Why are all the best comedians Jewish?

Because they've been put down all their life.

I think that's part of it. Most Jews are born in houses where there's not a lot of holding back. So you grow up putting yourself out there, and mostly being shot down. So that builds a courage and a low self esteem which helps to create the Jewish sense of humor.

Change me? What if I like myself the way that I am?

Then you are ahead of the game! Kudos to you!

Have you ever met anyone actually called Christineth?

No. Have you?

What was it like working with Matthew Perry ?

Amazing! Matthew had my back, and I learned a lot from him. A true professional. He could have been the type of guy to try and not let me be funny, but instead totally made sure that I got to shine in the show.

Where is the captiol of Gelmania? Is King Cyrus the King of Gelmania? When can your adoring fans expect the release of "Crack Sabbath"?

Earth is the capitol. Cyrus is one king, and I am the other. We are going to start recording again next week.

Is there an idea you've had that you consider too fucked up to create? Where there things that you had to cut from either of your adult swim specials because they were too weird to air?

I don't think anything is fucked up as long as it's coming from a real genuine place and not just to shock. I don't think anything is too fucked up unless it's hurting someone.

Who would you most like to make uncomfortable?

Republicans and apathetic white liberals who think they are any different from the racist right wing people they complain about.

Who's approval do you strive for the most?

What's for dinner?

My fiance's. There is no one's taste and opinion I trust more than her's. If she likes it, everyone else can hate it and I don't care.

Are there any shows you can recommend to someone who enjoys "Louie" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm"?

Besides my Speicial, which I'm promoting right now. I'd check out the FX show I'm on "Married." Also "The Comback," "Getting On," "Enlightened," and "Transparent."

I am a "new" Brett Gelman fan - seen 'lunch' and looking forward to 'dinner' w/ brett gelman. Any plans for 'breakfast', or have I missed it?

the lunch and dinner are unrelated. Maybe one day there'll be something related to breakfast, but I think I have to stick with just these 2 meals for the time being.

how long do i cook popcorn in my iCrowave oven?

2 seconds.

Hey Brett I just listened to you on How Did This Get Made, I would love to see you Paul and Jason write a reboot to Zardoz! But the most important question to me is which of you would play Zed if Sean Connery didn't reprise the role?

I would of course!

How does Highland Park in Los Angeles compare to Highland Park, IL?

Highland Park in LA beats the shit out of IL HP. Basically all the kids I grew up with were, for the most part, Jewish versions of a John Hughes villain.

I'm getting some head shots done today. Fedora or no fedora?

FEDORA!

are you and tim heidecker ever gonna do lunch again?

I think so. We just have to carve out a time to do it. We're both very busy.

What was it like to be in an episode of the office?  I'm sorry that Jim and Pam abused you.  Also,  have you by any chance ever been into magic? 

I loved magic as a kid. I thought about getting into it for a second, and then I realized that I would definitely be terrible at it. Doing the Office was great! The most amazing part about it was to meet James Spader, and eat lunch with my buddy Craig Robinson.

Any funny stories working with Tim and Eric? Also your beard is great. From, another beard guy.

I love T & E. There are no distinct funny stories. But Tim and I always like to talk about having sex with each other at parties, and it can really freak people out.

how did you and your girlfriend meet and how did you decide to work together? I have nightmares about my neighbor abducting me out of sheer loneliness

We met in NY on a commercial shoot for the NY Lotto. We decided to work togethe because she asked me to, and I can never turn down a genius. That is a worthy nightmare to have!

Does Doug really love movies?

No.

Will things get better for A.J. in season 2 of Married?

gosh I hope so.

Do you think a Klumps style World War 2 thriller starring just you is a good idea? Also when's the last time you cried laughing?

I think that's a great idea. The last time I cried laughing? I think it was Billy Eichner.

Yooooooooo Brett you guy.

Whats the last movie you watched and did you like it?

Hmmmmm? New movie?

Any new collabos with Tim Hiedecker in the near future? Maybe dinner?

We will collaborate. It won't be dinner. That would be repeating myself.

your character on Happy Endings was so funny, how much of that did you improvise?

I think a bit. I don't totally remember to be honest.

Do you enjoy more working on the adult swim type of productions or the bigger projects?

As long as the project is good, it doesn't matter what the size.

How do you produce so much great content? What's your favorite content you've ever produced? How do I produce great content?

I love everything I've produced. I think the biggest tool that you need to make things good is to be honest with yourself when it's bad.

What was it like shooting this skit with Tim? This was how my wife and I became Gelmanites.

Here's a gif of my favorite moment. Hope you like it! :) http://i.imgur.com/Vl6CL.gif

Gelmanites... I like that :-D

I love that! And it's GELMANIAC! YOU ARE GELMANIACS!

Shooting with Tim is always fun!

When's the Eagleheart reunion special?

Hopefully some day.

what's your favourite cereal? and why?

I'm not a cereal guy.

I miss Go On, Mr. Gelman. You were the funniest bloke on there as well. Who made you laugh the most on set?

Matthew Perry.

can i trouble you for an Arnie Palmie?

always!

What is your favorite kind of ice cream?

I think chocolate chip. But there are so many wonderful flavors. At 31.

What kind of music are you into?

Great music. But nothing lifts me up more than 90's hip hop.

Shabbat Shalom and Happy Friday the 13th!

Why so many references to your name in your special, is there something from your childhood that you would like to share?

Hahahaha. You have no idea what I have to share in this. Watch if you dare. Why my name so many times? That's simple! I'm a narcissist, and I'm also THE BEST!

Is Tim and Gelman Have Lunch a reference of some sort to Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee?

Hahahaha. No. We did that before I was aware of Mr. Seinfeld's series. But I am a fan of all things Jerry.

How did you feel about Death By Roo Roo ending?

Sad. I was sad I couldn't be there. We were actually filming this special during the final show. But Roo Roo ended for me a couple years ago. And nothing lasts forever.

Is it pronounced "Gehl-man" or "Jell-man". Also, do you like socks?

You can do better than that.

Do you want to see something nasty?

no

what the fuck dude.

I am not going to watch this. Judging by the above reaction I shouldn't. Just so you know, there is no way I'm watching this clip.
