FuegsterMcCallister124 karma

I know you're a huge Minnesota sports guy, and as an LA Clippers fan, I'm also an alcoholic. So my question for you is what's the best way to numb the pain?

realnickswardson83 karma

I like the Clippers. Bummed Redick is gone.

Memuggin105 karma

How is Gay Robot doing these days?

realnickswardson182 karma

He's surviving. Bless his metal gay heart.

Beardman9580 karma

What is the most fucked up thing that a fan has done/tried to do to you?

realnickswardson181 karma

Someone sent me a Barbie doll once that had my head on it.

dewrecked78 karma

What's the favorite thing you have done so far in your career?

realnickswardson266 karma

Grandma's Boy and Bucky Larson. But I'm proud of all of it. Zero regrets in roles.

benagain163 karma

Hey Nick! Thanks for doing this. You've worked a lot with Adam Sandler over the years. There's a lot of critics who haven't been so kind to his films from the last decade or so. Do you think they're being unfair, or maybe missing out on what he's going for? Also, what do you enjoy about working with him?

realnickswardson266 karma

Critics attack him. Makes no sense. He truly makes movies that make him laugh and that he knows his fans will like. He's genuine guy. He's a legend. You look at his body of work. Albums, SNL, all the movies. Annoys me when people shit on him. Everyone has an opinion but comedy is subjective. If you don't like him, move on. Critics like to feel like they've accomplished something taking shots at him.

bbllaakkee46 karma

just was listening to you on Joe Rogan's podcast!

Please come to NC or SC on your tour soon, would love to check you out.

any plans for a Grandma's Boy 2?

realnickswardson110 karma

No GB2. We just don't want to taint the first one and I might be in SC soon. My boy Danny McBride just moved there.

LammergeierAteMyBone44 karma

I love you Nick Swardson. I sent you a pint of my blood. Did you get my blood?

realnickswardson95 karma

Copy that. Got it right here. Chugging it.

MunificentDouglas42 karma

Are you as miserable as your voice makes you sound?

realnickswardson114 karma

Ha. Amazing question. My voice has cause problems cause girls always think I'm being sarcastic. Everyone thinks I'm annoyed or bored all the time but it's just how I talk. Oh, and all of those things are true.

jzhoodie39 karma

Can the Vikings be the first team in NFL history to win a Super Bowl in their home stadium this year? Is Bradford or Bridgewater the future of the Vikings?

realnickswardson52 karma

Ugh, that's tough. We could be a sleeper this year. It's all O line. And we'll see about Teddy's knee. I like him a lot but that injury was horrendous.

KoolGMatt37 karma

Have you ever eaten corn?

PRYHMZ25 karma

Hey nick! Big fan of your tv show Pretend Time. Sad it was cancelled. So, my question would be: What is your daily morning routine? And, am i still creepy?

realnickswardson41 karma

Depends. I tour a lot. Write every day. Try to work out. Some weeks I'll just get hammered. Depends on my mood and whether I have to fart.

monkeyclawattack24 karma

Wanna get black out drunk and ask chicks to read us the time on our watches?

thomRe8819 karma

Nick when is the last time you farted?

realnickswardson52 karma

Haven't yet today. Might start to worry.

ranchdepressing17 karma

I saw you at my school years ago. A girl in the back kept screaming "take off your pants." You compared her to a pterodactyl and told her not to have children until she is elderly. Do you remember this?

Also, which side character of yours from an Adam Sandler movie most deserves a spinoff?

realnickswardson27 karma

Haha. Sounds about right. And Billy Madison or Wedding Singer.

kokes8816 karma

realnickswardson32 karma

Bless your heart.

COM98useracct14 karma

Do you think Adam Sandler should keep making movies?

busch_commanderT211 karma

On a scale of 1 to Norovirus diarrhea, how high was Rogan during the podcast?

realnickswardson28 karma

Haha. He smoked the fires of Mordor (spelling)

Frank-9311 karma

Whats your favorite Sandler memory?

realnickswardson30 karma

Fuck. too many. He's hilarious. We always laugh a lot. I've truly never gotten a long with anyone so well.

magnagan10 karma

Grandma's boy is in my top 5 fave comedy flicks of all time! my question is: is there plans for a blu-ray release? My DVD looks like poop on my nice tv.

Wholeskin9 karma

Whats the worst poop you ever took? Please specify the reason for the disaster poop and location of deification.

realnickswardson23 karma

I took a shit in Vegas that looked like green alien barf. It's amazing what drinking a lot does to your body. So bad for you but still sweet. In moderation.

Eticket159 karma

Any advice for new comedians?

realnickswardson24 karma

Write every day. Be original. Find your voice, that'll take years. Commit your life to it with no guarantees and smile through bombing.

nick_good8 karma

Going straight to the butt stuff. Finger in the butt during a bj, yay or nay???

realnickswardson15 karma

Hooray. Duh.

AskAboutMyDumbSite8 karma

Dear Nick, can you guess my favorite joke? If you guessed "I have this cat and it's puking every where. So I took it to the vet, and I was like, hey my cat wont stop puking. So the vet asked me what I was feeding it, and I was all "puke..." you'd be right.

realnickswardson8 karma

But it's not puke

MnKarmaTrain17 karma

Hi Nick,

Love your shit. Did God ever end up blessing vodka?

realnickswardson12 karma

Yes, of course. ha. Still laughing that I said that on air. Josh was like "what the fuck"

AlexDaGrate4207 karma

At what age did you start comedy? And As a stand up comedian how long was it in your career before you could call yourself successful?

realnickswardson29 karma

Started at 19 and success is subjective. Maybe 23 years old I started to feel confident about not sleeping in an alley.

busch_commanderT27 karma

What's your favorite bar in MN and why?

realnickswardson13 karma

Green Mill uptown closed. Sad. That was my jam. I like a place with good bar food and TV's. I have to have sports on or I panic.

No. But I'll change that.

contactlite6 karma

What should I eat tonight?

realnickswardson18 karma

Food. Cat food?

carru0366 karma

Hey Nick, have a similar problem of being sick way too much. Heard you mention cutting out all Dairy on Rogan's podcast and it working wonders. That's pretty fucking awesome, how long did it take for that to start working and how often do you get sick now that you've completely cut it out?

realnickswardson17 karma

Cut out dairy and sugar. It's immediately feeling better. Do it.

realnickswardson17 karma

I don't smoke pot. Everyone thinks I do.

kieltacular6 karma

ostat105 karma

Who is your favorite celeb/friend to go to twins or Vikings games with?

realnickswardson17 karma

If you have creative control!!

-WhistleWhileYouLurk3 karma

How will you find meaning in life, without Chris Hardwick yelling "points" to let you know something you've done was worthwhile?

Also, I'll promise you unlimited points for life if you can talk Hardwick or Lennon in to giving me a shot at hosting @midnight, instead of canceling it.

Wholeskin3 karma

If you wernt an actor what job do u think youd have/want?

realnickswardson18 karma

School teacher. Grade school. I like making kids laugh and I'm not that smart so I could teach easy shit and look like a genius. And they'd be as immature as I am. I'd teach fart noises.

Hey Nick! Thanks for doing this!

So I was able to go to your show at UCF (which was fucking hilarious I might add), and wanted to ask:

  1. What did you think of the whole Orlando area?

  2. Would you consider going back to perform at UCF?

Thanks again for doing this!

realnickswardson12 karma

Yes I would, I like Orlando. I'm a rare person that likes Florida. A lot of people hate on it but I like that it's rogue as shit. And I like the weather. All my Florida shows have been great. They show me a lot of love.
