What is the most fucked up thing that a fan has done/tried to do to you?
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?
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.
CloudyDaze0933 karma
Hiiii Nick, how are you? A+ hopefully. My question is, will there be a Meatsward Day 3? Bummed I didn't get to see you guys this year but when you're when with a big star like Meatsauce I get it.
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?
BurtMacklin522 karma
Are you gonna do another stand up special anytime soon? I loved your last one, and Seriously, Who Farted? is one of my favorites ever. Would love to see you get a Netflix special!
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?
kokes8816 karma
Am I out of line when i say the vikes are going 16-0 this year? cuz i dont think so. Im ready to skol my dick off this season
realnickswardson54 karma
Yes of course. I love Adam. People hate on him and it's like "if you don't like him than don't watch his movies" but he's funny and great.
ald4311 karma
Do you see yourself making another movie with the guys that made "grandmas boy" again? Also....nobody can obsess like I can obsess Jimmy.....
realnickswardson37 karma
Yes, me and the director of Grandma's Boy developing a couple new movies.
busch_commanderT211 karma
On a scale of 1 to Norovirus diarrhea, how high was Rogan during the podcast?
sharkytacos11 karma
There have been some regulars you work with, like Sandler and Spade. Who is most enjoyable to work with?
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.
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.
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.
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.
nick_good8 karma
Going straight to the butt stuff. Finger in the butt during a bj, yay or nay???
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.
realnickswardson12 karma
Yes, of course. ha. Still laughing that I said that on air. Josh was like "what the fuck"
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.
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?
luckylungs6786 karma
How much pot do you smoke? What's a funny memory you have from filming grandmas boy? Do you do any charity work? Loved you in grandmas boy- one of my classic go to stoner films. I just learned about your show via this AMA so I'll be sure to check it out!
realnickswardson19 karma
I actually don't smoke weed. Haven't for maybe 25 years. Everyone thinks I do even though I've said I don't on specials.
rambow135 karma
Your MN stand up shows always sell out so quickly, any thoughts on a longer stay in the future?
realnickswardson17 karma
I don't even know who I'm with at the games. I'm always shit faced and screaming. I could have gone to a game with Abe Lincoln and I'd have no idea.
Ghost4344 karma
So do you remember taking this photo after you performed at Cal U of PA back in September 2013? http://imgur.com/a/4dXii
realnickswardson13 karma
That's all I had. No other dream. Truly. When I was a child I wanted to be an architect cause of the movie Three Men and a Baby.
realnickswardson14 karma
Yes for sure. I will at some point if the lord doesn't decide to 86 me from earth.
realnickswardson18 karma
Just keep creating. New show and more movies. But I'd like to travel the world more and help out more. Help drunk people walk home in other countries. Train squirrels to give rim jobs. Typical dreams.
Newdeegurl643 karma
Happy to see you back on CC, man. Will you and Rogan really do a companion podcast soon and watch Laserblast?
Burritobabyy3 karma
Who do you like to collaborate with the most? Also, when are you going to do another stand up special?
realnickswardson9 karma
I'd love to do some on camera stuff with Stiller. New special next year. Netflix.
realnickswardson7 karma
Yeah, really funny. Original and brilliant. Inspiring when new stuff comes out.
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.
realnickswardson10 karma
haven't seen anyone in a while. I've been doing this 21 years. The last thing I do is watch stand up.
Mackaii3 karma
What's one of the best things about filming a TV Show/Movie in your opinion?
Skooter_McGaven3 karma
If you could work with anyone who has passed that you never got a chance to, who would it be?
Brostarr3 karma
I'm gonna see your standup at the Chumash casino in December we're gonna drink beers after right?!?
-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.
realnickswardson3 karma
Bummed out. that show was so fun. Daniel Day Lewis is hosting now. Way different vibe.
HuntBrianJ2 karma
Some would describe your clothing as young & reckless, what clothing line would describe your naked body?
alohaknown2 karma
Whats up Nick! Big fan, been going through some tough times and just started watching Typical Rick and all i can say is your awesome and thank you for the laughs! Hope you make it back to the islands as I was working during your last visit.
Who the hell thought of Alligator Repair Dick lol?
realnickswardson3 karma
Hang in there bro. And I thought of alligator repair dick ha. And I'll be back on the islands this fall just chilling. No shows. Oahu. Aloha.
FletchedUp2 karma
Can you tell us about your STD from the silent film era?
For real though, whats your favorite pizza topping?
TheAwes0meFish2 karma
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:
What did you think of the whole Orlando area?
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.
Le_kabob2 karma
Hi Nick, big fan. If you were going to build a desk out of wood, how would you go about constructing it?
realnickswardson4 karma
Tooooo many greats. Impossible. In Hiding is one of my fav PJ songs.
realnickswardson3 karma
Great. Working out a ton. Gained weight for TR2 so now losing that. Been eating vegan to try something new.
matty_a71 karma
Have you been up to Duluth?
And
Do you want the TWolves to trade Wiggins for Kyrie?
realnickswardson2 karma
Yes, a long time ago. And don't want to trade Wiggins. Love Kyrie. I want to see this squad play together. Kyrie feels like he'll be coming in rogue.
SymphonyInPeril1 karma
Hey, Nick! Thanks for doing this.
Have you considered/will you PLEASE start doing a podcast?
I've been hearing you on a few lately and they've been unreal funny.
Edit: also, my friends and I still quote the Mr. Creepy skit.
realnickswardson6 karma
Not going to do a podcast. I like doing other peoples. and Mr. Creepy was the best. So disturbing.
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?
