You go to the grocery store and buy a milk gallon and dump it out and then write PCP on the side!
shadymcdonalds662 karma
I read somewhere that you were originally cast as Sawyer on lost but left to direct First Daughter, do you ever regret this decision?
Oh...shit. Sorry...
I thought you were Forest Whitaker.
Edit: obligatory thanks for the gold, stranger!
GatsbyKanye573 karma
Were you guys nervous about getting any backlash for the grapist sketch? Side note that's one of my all time favorite comedy sketches.
TrevorMooreWKUK702 karma
Not really. We, stupidly, didn't think it was that controversial. We just thought it was silly
TrevorMooreWKUK1349 karma
If it was supposed to be an attractive girl: Darren. If it was supposed to be a monster: Sam If it was supposed to be a middle aged housewife: Timmy
shadymcdonalds463 karma
Space Potatoes is one of WKUK's most underrated sketches in my opinion. It walks the line of clever and stupid so well. Who's idea was this sketch and what was the initial reaction?
Also, do you have any advice for young aspiring comedians/actors?
TrevorMooreWKUK421 karma
I think it was mine. We used to do it live and it was just a mess. When we went to Fuse, they built us this awesome rocket ship set where we were all suspended 10 feet in the air to get the effect. it was a crazy way to shoot a sketch. We only had 1 take to do it in because it would ruin the set.
js9980405 karma
Hey Trevor! I've been wondering this for a while. How much backlash (if any) did WKUK receive for the "I want to kill the POTUS" sketch?
TrevorMooreWKUK671 karma
A good amount. I had to talk to the ACLU to see if it was technically legal before we put it on the air. There's actually a huge Supreme Court Case involving it right now. Where a guy copied the words from it but substituted his ex-gf for the president and he got arrested. It's crazy
TragicallyCute341 karma
Where did you guys get the theme song for WKUK from? My husband and I used it instead of the typical wedding march because it was a lot more fun!
TrevorMooreWKUK361 karma
No way!!! That's crazy!! We used to always open our live shows with the 'Beach Boys' Little Pad. So we wanted soemthing that had that sort of vibe and feel to it.
Rei_Areaaaaaaa320 karma
Sorry I didn't understand your post. Can you say that with your mouth more open and wider and with a higher pitch?
TrevorMooreWKUK412 karma
Aiiiiiiieeeeeeee yaaaahhheeeeieiiiiiieieieeeeeeee aiiiiieaAIiIIIIIEEEEEEEE YAAHAHHHIEIIEEEE!
CBreezy13305 karma
Hey Trevor, my question is how can any of you guys keep a straight face while looking at Timmy?
a_falling_brick272 karma
Hi Trevor!
- What's the story of how the WKUK got their name?
- What was the first sketch the WKUK performed together?
TrevorMooreWKUK435 karma
We were free-style rapping on the subway and one of our friends said that we were the 'whitest kids he knew'. And it stuck. The first sketch we wrote together was about the TV show Survivor. And it was terrible.
TrevorMooreWKUK386 karma
Soon. We get the rights to all of our stuff next year. So we'll probably put it out then!
calehartmann268 karma
Hey, Trevor. Big fan. Did I leave my phone charger in your car? I can't find it and it's not at Sam's.
JimLahey330237 karma
I went to one of your shows in Cleveland and at the end, we all sang Wonderwall. Zach walked around and filmed it. Did you guys ever make a video compilation of the audience singing Wonderwall?
TrevorMooreWKUK438 karma
I have all the footage but I never edited it. Youjust reminded me. i have to do that
mattakasturty212 karma
Hi Trevor! Big time fan. Just a couple of questions for you.
What would you say is your favorite skit from WKUK? Funniest, most fun to make, or one that you can’t believe made it on the show?
I see your tweets sometimes about you and some of the gang doing a show together. How often do all 5 of you get together?
My roommate does not think you’re material is funny. What do you have to say to Collin?
TrevorMooreWKUK539 karma
Favorite would be Hippo In The City or Clint Webb or Poop Office Meeting. Zach, Sam and I hang out regularly because we live in the same city. We write all the time and are developing some things. Darren goes on tour with me a lot. Timmy lives in South Dakota so I dont see him much. But every now and then we'll do a WKUK show somewhere and I'll see him then. Eat shit Collin.
raygungoespew209 karma
I wore my "FUCK THIS JOB AND FUCK BRIAN" shirt to work yesterday. Brian wasn't there and it wasn't casual Friday. Since I'm supposed to ask a question, what do you think about that?
TrevorMooreWKUK187 karma
I think that's awesome. I was over at Zach's the other day and he found the original old shirt. He'd kept it.
Heromedic18175 karma
Me and my younger sister have memorized the "Joining The Army" sketch. We recreate it every time we hear words like "Crowbar" or "Air Force". Who came up with that sketch and why was it your best one?
TrevorMooreWKUK133 karma
hahahaha! Not sure who came up with it. Probably either Zach or I since we were in it. That was a fun one to shoot!
Stonefingas133 karma
Hey Trevor! Longtime fan.
Your stand-up bit on This is Not Happening was awesome. High in Church seems to be more musical comedy though. Will you be doing more stand-up in the future or is High in Church a hybrid between music and stand-up?
Either way, can't wait for later tonight!
P.S. If you decide to tour, please come to the Southeast, preferably around Knoxville, TN. We aren't all bad, promise.
TrevorMooreWKUK118 karma
I'd love to play Knoxville! The special has me telling some stories between the songs, at least the extended cut does. When I tour it's a mix of stand up-ish kind of things, sketches and music
davec79132 karma
During your experiment, how much whiskey did you consume, and how great is Goodbye Yellow Brick Road?
TrevorMooreWKUK208 karma
SO GREAT! one of best songs ever! I drank too much during the filming of that and the rest of the guys made me switch to ice tea for the rest of the shoot because I was getting snippy
Snooterbaggs125 karma
I heard you got pretty sick on a ramen diet a while back. Do you still eat ramen?
TrevorMooreWKUK223 karma
Yeah, I literally almost died. I ate nothing but ramen for a year and my triglycerides (sp?) went through the roof!
PHDeez_Nuts115 karma
Can't believe noone's mentioned the "Slow Jerk" skit yet. How did the idea for this skit realize itself? It's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen.
TrevorMooreWKUK199 karma
We used to do this sketch live and it was never anything special. We were really surprised when the show aired and that was the first one to take off. In fact, the first time I got recognized from the show was a day or two after it aired, some guy at the end of the bar just started doing the 'slow jerk motion' and pointing at me. And I was confused - because I really didn't think much of that sketch at all. it took me a while to realize that that was in the episode that had just aired and he was referencing it - and not asking if I wanted to go to the bathroom with him or something.
foxgotyourbong113 karma
Which sketch did you face the most resistance for (by executives or producers) in putting it on air? Also do squirrels frequently enter the car when you are blazing with friends?
TrevorMooreWKUK266 karma
Hippo In the City was supposed to have 2 or 3 more minutes of trumpet solo at the end and it was a big fight. i lost :(
KingMaxx112 karma
Hi Trevor, thanks for doing this!
I remember watching WKUK all through high school with my best friend. Our favorite bit was always "People like YOU I think that the devil..." It just seemed so much more out there than anything else. So with that out of the way I have 2 questions.
How did you guys come up with that skit?
And can we expect anything from WKUK in the near future?
TrevorMooreWKUK100 karma
Thanks! That sketch was this really weird, long thing that we used to do live. And it would change. At one point the devil and Buddah got into a fight on stilts in the middle of the club. I don't remember where the elements that ended up being on the show came from though
pistachiopaul90 karma
Is there any WKUK sketch that you think is really underrated--one that really cracked you up, that you were surprised didn't become one of your big, well-known bits? Also, sic semper tyrannis.
TrevorMooreWKUK169 karma
Barf Museum always made me laugh because of how dark the ending is. Same with 'Hunting Accident'
emshedoesit87 karma
Hi Trevor! "Songs from Olden Times" is one of my favorite skits of all time. What was the catalyst to coming up with that? Which one of those songs was your favorite?
TrevorMooreWKUK125 karma
We were shooting in a house that had a framed picture of a little girl in a wedding dress and i thought it was the funniest thing. So I made up that song and was singing it all day annoying the crew and everyone. But it stuck in my head so i pitched it as a sketch the next season
StephenLH82 karma
A movie that I'm fairly sure never existed used to show up on your IMDB filmography called "Pilot Season" it said it was written and directed by you and Kevin Smith... do you have any idea what the hell that's about? It's been driving me nuts for years.
geozzii74 karma
Did Timmy actually create that one cowboy sketch, or do you guys just like to fuck with him that much?
taylortob71 karma
Hi Trevor! Big fan of the show, and I have practically seen every sketch you and the crew made! I have a question for you.. if I'm making a TV show that aired during the day, can one of my actors or crew members say "you're gay" on live TV?
UselessPieceofJunk67 karma
Hello, Trevor!
I’m a huge fan and I’m really excited about this AMA!
I know that you are a fan of Monty Python. On that note, which sketch (or sketches) would you say is your favourite? Which was most influential for you?
Thank you in advance!
P.S. Any thoughts on touring in Canada?
TrevorMooreWKUK67 karma
The architect sketch was always my favorite. And all of 'Life Of Brian' Architect Sketch was probably most influential
HerbieHendrix63 karma
Hey Trevor been watching your videos for years.
Do you stand up to wipe your butt after a deuce or stay in a crouched position? I've been trying to develop a consensus.
JackJDF63 karma
Hey Trevor, first of all let me say I'm really excited for the special. How often do you keep in touch with the other members of WKUK?
P.s. when are you and Nelly Frutado finally going to tie the knot?
TrevorMooreWKUK92 karma
She has blocked me i think. She never responds to my tweets. I see the WKUK guys often. Sam, Zach and Darren all the time. Timmy a little less because he lives in South Dakota!
SirIsaacBacon57 karma
Hey Trevor!
Kitty History is one of my favorite songs of yours! Do you prefer making songs or do you like skits better?
TrevorMooreWKUK66 karma
I like both. But lately I've been favoring music. SOme of the most fun ones are the ones that start as music and then break into a sketch. There are a couple like that on the new album/special
MacAndCrees57 karma
Hi Trevor I'm a huge fan and I've already bugged you about civil war on drugs, which is the best thing I've seen over 100 times in my life. I was just wondering if you have any idea when it will be available other than soon?
TrevorMooreWKUK83 karma
We get the rights to all of our stuff next year. So we'll probably put out an entire collection!
glitzyjan53 karma
Hi Trevor, I'm a huge fan. What's it like working with the people in the cameos? Any funny stories to tell?
TrevorMooreWKUK104 karma
Well I was super nervous to meet Dave Foley because he was a hero of mine. He was super nice. Then when he was leaving I went to give him a hug instead of a handshake and I felt stupid. He was awesome though!
BroSciencePhD50 karma
What was it like being an NBC page? Would you recommend it for someone who wants to work in entertainment?
More pressing question: What do you need in terms of resources or logistical support to make "Cat Congress" a reality?
TrevorMooreWKUK57 karma
It was great! A lot of fun and you learn a lot! My friend group is still a lot of people that I met there. It's also where I met my wife.
TrevorMooreWKUK104 karma
Ehhhhhhhhhhhh .... ok. Meet me in the CVS parking lot at Sunset and Beaudry in 5 min.
bluntman_designs38 karma
Do you still have copies of The Trevor Moore show? I've caught skits here and there but I've never seen the whole thing up anywhere..
TrevorMooreWKUK74 karma
I do. I'm embarrassed by them. I'm 16 and my sketches are kind of weak
Rainingmadness36 karma
Thank you and your friends for Whitest Kids You Know and Miss March. Hosedick.mpeg is the greatest character name ever!
You know how people get excited when they meet a celebrity? Did you ever have a moment when a celebrity got excited meeting you?
TrevorMooreWKUK39 karma
Hahahah! People don't usually talk about that one! Glad you liked it! In the group we've discussed who we think is the asshole in that situation. I think my guy is in the right
KorovaMilk11331 karma
For the John Cleese sketch was that an actual letter you received back from him or was it all A BIG FAT LIE!!??
TrevorMooreWKUK61 karma
It was a big fat lie. It was just a sketch we wrote. We never sent a letter. I'm sorry to have deceived you.
Pharaoh1031 karma
Hey Trevor, I've been a fan for years. Thanks for all the laughs.
What's it like transitioning from sketch comedy, with several other comedians, to working primarily by yourself? How have the WKUK guys influenced your writing?
TrevorMooreWKUK56 karma
It's fun. But it's also scary because you're kind of out there by yourself. If something bombs in a group - you can kind of be like 'Well, that sucks that people didn't like US' with solo stuff it's like 'It sucks that people dont like ME' I still use Sam as a sounding board for a lot of my solo stuff.
TrevorMooreWKUK62 karma
I got to smash a guitar in 'God Wants You To Wear A Hat' which was fun. I also got to film all day with a monkey in a sketch from tongihts special. 'Submarine Sandwich' was fun too
Armsdale26 karma
What do your parents and the Covenant crowd think of High in Church considering your upbringing?
Full disclosure: lived in C-ville for 9 years, watched the public access show, made a terrible rip off as a 10 year old.
TrevorMooreWKUK39 karma
My parents don't like most of my stuff. ALthough they did call me last night to tell me they did like Billy John. That's awesome that you did a c-vill public access show too!!
lolfartsdotcom26 karma
Hey trevor buddy sir, I don't know how hiring comedians works but the casino I work at wants to book you how would they go about doing that? Also you're awesome and stay golden.
killer201524 karma
If you had to make out with one of your cast members from Whitest Kids You Know, who would it be?
ryandangersims24 karma
Any advice for comics that are trying to "break into the business" (as a writer or stand up)?
TrevorMooreWKUK59 karma
Just write as much as you can. If you want to be a stand up - go to every open mic you can find. If you want to do sketch, put up a video every week if you can. It's impossible to predict what will be a hit so just try as much stuff as you can
warpg822 karma
Trevor! Thanks for doing the AMA. I took a piss next to you in a bar in Seattle after a show at the Neptune and purposely called Darren "Derek" to fuck with him... Thanks for the memories!
Two questions:
Are you guys looking to do any kind of skit comedy where the content is available on the web either for free or as a package with some content service (HBO Go or Netflix)?
When are you coming back to the Pacific northwest?
Nnnnaaaaiiiiilllll guuunnnn!
TrevorMooreWKUK19 karma
We've talked a little bit about releasing sketches that way. We're thinking about it. I'm going to be up in the northwest in early april for a couple shows. I'll put tour dates up soon!
TrevorMooreWKUK142 karma
Sour Patch Kids. But the ones that are shaped like watermelons. Not the ones shaped like the kids
TrevorMooreWKUK49 karma
Yeah. I'm going crazy. but fuck it. im going to try and stay in here till the special airs. maybe ill break a record or something. You guys want to talk about space? Or are we even real? What if this is all just in your head and you're just projecting us?
kevecca19 karma
Sup, Trevor. I've always wondered why you guys were filming this particular smoke sesh? Don't tell me if it ruins the magic [6]
Neifers19 karma
Hi Trevor, long time fan. My question is what would the first thing you would do if you were the Pope?
kylejs249019 karma
Hey Trevor! Big fan since I stumbled across WKUK on IFC way back when. What do you think makes for a more interesting experience, getting high in church? Or getting high with dinosaurs?
TrevorMooreWKUK54 karma
Getting high with dinosaurs is way more pleasant. Although, in retrospect, they were total dicks in that situation
TrevorMooreWKUK36 karma
The Little Rascals bit where I had to be on Sam's shoulders for the whole sketch
ilikemustard18 karma
Hey Trevor! Huge fan. I have a couple questions:
How'd you get your start in comedy? Was it an improv troupe, writing, stand-up, or what?
Any advice for someone looking to get into comedy?
And finally, do you and the WKUK guys have anything that you're working on together currently? I loved the show and was really bummed when it ended.
Anyways, thanks for doing this! Have a nice day!
TrevorMooreWKUK27 karma
Thanks!! I had a public access show when I was a kid. That kind of got me started writing sketches and stuff. My advice would be just do as much of it as you can as often as you can. WKUK used to do a brand new hour long show eery week for 2 years at a bar and having that kind of deadline is what made us kind of figure out what we 'sounded like' as a troupe
TooOld2DieYoung15 karma
Street Peter! Street Peter! Would I get into heaven if I killed a guy? But what if that guy was about to kill someone? And what if the guy he was gonna kill was bad? But what if THAT guy...saved a wolf? I go into tears everytime I even think about that sketch so thanks for everything.
Anyway real question, what was the story behind the hotdog Timmy sketch? My friends and I probably quote that daily. "Well it's not good..."
TrevorMooreWKUK23 karma
HOLY SHIT! That's an old old sketch! Where did you even see that? I was living in LA and driving around and I just started thinking about Timmy at the doctor and the doctor grilling him on how many hotdogs he eats. It was making me laugh out loud as I was driving around by myself. So I had to call Timmy and figure out a way to gently pitch that idea to him. But he had no problem with it. He knows he's fat.
TrevorMooreWKUK35 karma
Warren Zevon, Gerry Rafferty, The Who, Lynrd Skynrd, Funkadelic, Pixies, Nirvana, etc
GalactusHelmet14 karma
Curious: You seem like you'd be a great fit for SNL have you ever auditioned, do you have an interest?
Beer_lips14 karma
I drunkenly tattooed "Sexing up your town" from the sex robot sketch on my leg. What do I win?
DrGonzo1413 karma
I remember once on a commentary or something you talking about a thrown out sketch about A Dog that would go bust Pedophiles because it was way to edgy, do you think Comedy Central would ever let you do that? Also if you could elaborate on what the sketch even was, I just remember it sounding hilarious.
TrevorMooreWKUK13 karma
It was called 'McGriff the Crime Dog' I doubt anyone will air it. But I show it at my live shows
FriendFoundAccount13 karma
You Darren Sam Timmy and Zach are trapped on a desert island with no food.
Who do you eat first and why is it Timmy?
RobosaurusRex200012 karma
Hi Trevor, how are you so goddamn funny on twitter literally all the time? I've favorites more of your tweets than anyone else. Always leavin me laugh so hard I need new intestines
erycstrife12 karma
Hey Trevor! Hope all is well! What's your favorite color? I loved Miss March. Make more movies damnit! <3
Rei_Areaaaaaaa11 karma
Who's idea was it for the "Slow Jerk" sketch? That was first skit I ever watched of WKUK, and I've been a fan ever since.
TrevorMooreWKUK15 karma
i don't remember. it must of been mine or Darrens. I say somewhere else in here, that is a sketch that we really never gave a whole lot of mind to. We were really surprised when that was the first thing to take off from the show
butthead11 karma
Did you ever get a visit from the secret service after making that one sketch where you repeatedly said that one phrase?
TrevorMooreWKUK22 karma
Nope. Checked with the ACLU before it aired. But, interstingly enough that sketch is part of a huge Supreme Court Case right now Read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elonis_v._United_States
zbenink11 karma
The nail gun skit has always been one of my favorites, but I've always wondered what "sockhop" means. Is it hell speak or an actual nickname for fathers?
TrevorMooreWKUK20 karma
It's an old 50's term. 'Sock Hop's' were these really lame school dances
sh1poftheseus10 karma
Hey Trevor Can't wait to see you special. Saw you and the other WKUK last year live in Alfred and you guys killed it! Just wondering when we could expect the WKUK movie?
TrevorMooreWKUK11 karma
We keep getting side-tracked. We all did a pilot together last year so that took up most of our time. And we're working on another thing now. We're making progress it's just slow.
ManWith_MovieCamera8 karma
Where did the concept for the civil war on drugs come from / did you use the real stuff while shooting??
TrevorMooreWKUK19 karma
We came up with that idea in college and always wanted to do it. So when we decided season 5 was our last season - we decided now or never! No, we had to smoke catnip
TheGreatPastaWars7 karma
Can you describe your creative process? With as much stuff as you've done/written, how do you come up with material?
Also, can I write a brilliant sketch for you that you are required to perform on your next special?
TrevorMooreWKUK17 karma
I write the best in the shower. So if I have a deadline. i'll take a bunch of showers. Then go write everything down
Missguided916 karma
Hey Trevor! Congratulations on the special. I'm so excited to see it. I've been entertained by your sophisticated brand of humor for years having first stumbled upon the genius of the WKUK "Fart Dinner" sketch on IFC, and nearly stroking out from laughing so hard. So- questions!
1- If you could collaborate with any other artists (comedians, musicians, actors), dead or alive, who would they be?
2-On your last AMA you shared that you've struggled with OCD in the past. It resonated with a lot of us. Have you found it easier or harder to deal with it as you acquire more success? Does it inspire any of your material?
3- Why… why Paddington Bear?
TrevorMooreWKUK6 karma
- It was kind of a dream come true to have Dave Foley do a cameo in the Special. I'd love to do stuff with the other Kids In the Hall guys. Or any of the Monty python guys. Those were the dudes I looked up to.
- Yeah, a lot of my stuff comes from ocd. I find that ocd has actually gotten stronger as i've gotten older but i think i'm also more used to it, so hopefully i'm better at dealing with it.
- He's awesome
TrevorMooreWKUK26 karma
I went to a really conservative private school I hung out with a bunch of kids that would all sit in the back of class and make fun of everything and get bad grades.
EducatedCitizen5 karma
Trevor, would you rather fight 100 duck sized horses, or one horse sized duck?
danvondandy5 karma
I had a dream about you last night. You were pinching my cheeks. Weird that you'd do an AMA the day after, now I'm rewatching your Season 1 Commentary!
Anyway, was there any moment on tour where you legitimately thought (through a stunt or whatever) that you were gonna get seriously and permanently hurt? What about some of your wildest tour stories?
Thanks for being awesome, man! I hope I'll be able to see you guys one day.
TrevorMooreWKUK21 karma
I hurt myself in the Bigfoot Gravedigger sketch. Sam broke his arm in the "American Suicide Sketch", Darren broke his arm when we were doing "Astronaut Mess" live. The best tour moment for me was when we were in Conway, Arkansas a year or two ago. We did a show at a college and about 1,000 kids showed up. They were such a cool crowd that after the show I announced that after the show, we'd all be hanging out at this bar that we'd seen earlier. So hundreds of kids showed up to this bar and it was awesome. Eventually the owner heard that there were a ton of people at his bar so he came from his house to see what was going on. We told him we were doing a show in town and had some drinks with him. Then when it was closing time, he gave us the keys to the rollerskating rink in town (I think he owned that too.) So us and all these kids went to the roller rink and drank, played music and skated till 6 in the morning, when we had to get in the van and head to the next city. It was the best!
MrFurrypants5 karma
Trevor, I once got in a lot of trouble for posting "Get a new Daddy" on a message board full of old women. My question is, do you think it would help if I showed them a picture of a stegosaurus?
HelloMyNameIsChivers5 karma
Hi, Trevor! I'm a huge fan! Did you guys ever have trouble filming sketches because you couldn't keep a straight face? If so, which one was the hardest?
TrevorMooreWKUK9 karma
I had the hardest time keeping a straigh face in this sketch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeNntxkM_dw
When Sam does that song at the end, I kept laughing in every take. We had to do like 17.
PapShmear5 karma
You're one of my favorite comedians, and I can't get enough of the specials you've put out, along with WKUK obviously. You're a genius. I admire you to the fullest extent, and you've made me popular with anyone I have the chance to show The Civil War On Drugs to. Anyway, enough of the flattery. Can we be expecting more sketches and specials from you in the very near future? I need new content of yours to keep me going through my last semester of college. So I hope your answer is yes. Please just say yes, damn it.
TrevorMooreWKUK6 karma
Thanks so much! We'll see! Hopefully if this album and special do well, then I'll get to make another one!
TrevorMooreWKUK11 karma
No, he's cool! I've known him for a while. It's a really fun show to do! I'm also friends with Nick and Heather so I was glad they were the other contestants!
xxruruxx4 karma
You guys came to my college on my 21st birthday. You asked me if I was going to go bar hopping after the show but I was too shy to say that I was already drunk.
Just wanted to say thanks for making my birthday awesome! I wouldn't have had it any other way. I'd been a fan since early high school so it's like I grew up with wkuk. Thanks!
PyroNecrophile4 karma
Oh wait! Now I have a real question. Last summer you tweeted about doing a super secret special show at the Creek, and you were doing something super secret and special that you couldn't talk about. And I didn't see the tweet until too late. WHAT WAS THE GODDAMN SECRET??!
TrevorMooreWKUK4 karma
We filmed a pilot but we wanted to do a live reading of the script in front of the audience before we filmed. So that's what it was. But it didn't get picked up to series.
JewMeat054 karma
You seem to keep in touch with all of the WKUK guys, and that is awesome! Do you guys still collaborate as much as you guys seem to, or is it more so cameo stuff?
Always love what you guys do, but I still long for more WKUK sketches.
TrevorMooreWKUK6 karma
We're still working on some things together. Sam and Zach and I are working on a thing right now.
KobainStain4 karma
Seasons 1 and 2 of WKUK were my life when they first came out. Thank you so much for the laughs.
My question is: how do I get in touch with Weird the Stripper?
JeppyBass4 karma
How does one go from being an NBC page to a star of a TV Show? How were you recognized by "the industry"?
TrevorMooreWKUK8 karma
We did a weekly live show at a bar in NYC for years and someone from Time Out NY wrote a really nice article on us. From then on, our shows were packed. Then we got into the Aspen Comedy Festival and we won that and then got a show!

Hey Trevor thanks for all of the laughs! How has your OCD affected your creativity? Has it helped/hurt your process of writing music/skits?
Also where would be the best place to start a race war? You know... for science...

I've had OCD since about the age of 12 so it's hard to tell how it's affected my writing because I've pretty much had it the entire time i've done comedy. It does make me get hung up on certain things and re-work and re-work them. Especially with the albums. So, for better or worse, it makes me do several drafts of things

I have to say, my favorite sketch of all is the Shark attack sketch. The moment the camera continued past your head I couldn't stop laughing. I honestly didn't notice the girl with her legs spread up until that point. You had me completely enthralled. Are most people who see that sketch completely surprised?
TrevorMooreWKUK4 karma
Yeah! That was one of our favorites too. I remember that was one of the fastest sketches we've ever written because I was saying I wanted to do a sketch that was basically that monologue scene from jaws. And sam just quickly said "the camera should just zoom in on someone's panties' and that was it.

Other than your special and the WKUK movie, do you have any other projects planned with the kids?
TrevorMooreWKUK8 karma
We did a pilot last year but it didn't get picked up to series. We're working on something now. might do another WKUK album too
TrevorMooreWKUK4 karma

Will you and the gang reunite again? Maybe for a movie? WKUK is the only show that makes me keel over laughing.
EDIT: Just realized everyone and their mom asked my question.
EDIT2: How long did it take you to film Super Size Me with Whiskey?
TrevorMooreWKUK4 karma
Don't know. I know you can download a full deluxe version with the album and extra sketches from Comedy Central

Hey Trevor! If you felt like you could ever change a sketch or add a sequel to one, which one would it be?

I'd like to do a follow up on 'Clint Webb' and I think Hippo In the City should have been 3 minutes longer

Hi Trevor! I love the wkuk! I told you this the other day in another thread but I really admire your style of comedy. http://imgur.com/sc10nZ5 Also this is my profile picture for my Skype account. Me and my brother have bonded over your sketches since I was ten years old.
Anyway, I've always wondered if the daughter from the hot daughter sketch was actually a girl or if it was one of you guys, since it never really shows her face. This is one of my favorite sketches, by the way. Here it is: http://youtu.be/oaNRhtip6S4
Lastly, you talk about conspiracy theories in a few of your sketches, I was just wondering if you actually believe in the ones you've talked about?
Sorry for making this kind of long, but you're probably my favorite comedian/ celebrity so I'm really hoping you read this.
Thanks for doing this AMA!

Thanks! THe daughter in 'Hot Daugher' was an actress who was in a lot of our sketches. She was also in Courtroom Stripper. I believe some of them. Some I don't . I think Kitty History is pretty right on.

How does one acquire a gallon of PCP? I'm asking for a friend.
