IM SHALL RETURN! KEEP ASKING QUESTIONS! I WILL TRY MY BEST TO ANSWER AS MANY AS I CAN!

I don't have any questions. I just wanted I let you know that I was Montez for Halloween. My three friends wanted to be Adam, Blake, and Anders and so I gladly grew my mustache out for a week and donned some glasses and made references to my wife's stingray coochie all night long
bloodwrage83 karma
For future reference, you probably shouldn't ask people on the Internet to send you pictures. It could get very penisy.
Hendoja21253 karma
Out of Anders, Adam, and Blake which one is the most like their character from the show?
Professor_Neckbeard204 karma
I have no questions, I just wanted to say your delivery has caused me to spit my drink out three separate times from laughing.
erikgriffin463 karma
Well now I know the answer if someone asks you Spit or swallow! ooooooh no he didnt!! haha jk.. thanks!
icelittle182 karma
You have any tickets? I'll give you a t-shirt.
But seriously, how is the environment working on the set, especially from the perspective as someone who's not blake/anders/adam? What has been your best memory so far on the show?
erikgriffin300 karma
Maribeth (Alice), Jillian and I have a blast! our dressing rooms are in the same area. The whole crew is great its very easy, comfortable and HELLA FUN!
AddictiveSoup175 karma
Man you're one of the best characters on the show! How much of the show is improvised versus tightly scripted?
erikgriffin315 karma
Probably 80% script. They always ask me to do the script version first, then have a little fun. But the scripts are very funny, there are a ton of laughs at the table reads.
IAmNotKevinBacon159 karma
How long did it take to grow your mustache? Also, does Blake Anderson's hair intimidate your mustache or are they allies and enjoy activities together, including but not limited to a joint time-share and jet ski outings?
erikgriffin244 karma
They have an off and on again relationship. The Stache, he likes to be called that, is a real diva!
erikgriffin326 karma
The writers work very hard, and the FANS are so supportive, its a good match, I think we have a few more years in us.
GoatmanEvil96 karma
Right on, I'm glad to hear that. Follow up question, Where do you see the show going in the coming years?
bxie126 karma
what has been your favorite episode to do? why?
Who do you think is the funniest?
madcat033122 karma
Is Blake okay? I heard he jumped off a roof and seriously injured his back...
GovernorRickPerry116 karma
is Waymond in real life anything like he is on the show? Does he ever talk?
[deleted]110 karma
You tweet fairly often about doing standup in CA. Have you ever had a chance to or have any plans to take your standup on the road? How about anyone else on the show?
erikgriffin165 karma
CHeck my website for dates, I do stand up all over the place. Thanks for asking that one! :)
woofa_q86 karma
IF THEY AIN'T NO RULES UP IN HERE, HOW WOULD THIS BE ANY DIFFERENT THAN YO BEDROOM???
Mr_Unknown78 karma
Hey Mr. Griffin, in Season 2 episode 2 "Dry Guys" the stripper with the blurred face dancing for the guys, was that Jillian?
erikgriffin140 karma
I actually dont know, you making me want to find out. I will text Jillian and find out! thanks for that.
OtherMikeP67 karma
How were you able to transition from Montez into your Character in the McDonalds commercial where you laugh at that guy whose girlfriend calls him embarrassing names?
erikgriffin214 karma
Im like Pacino on a Commercial Set, just ask me where to laugh and lean and its on!
erikgriffin130 karma
Honestly I didnt even know what that was in the script, it said, sing RnB style, "we be smackin bass"
erikgriffin208 karma
Blake' Dick? You say it like he walks around set with his dick out, and I think you mean Adam, when he did the most epic TV tuck back in history.
Eggs_Tyrone47 karma
Does anybody from the show actually drive the America car featured in 'The Ders' episode?
madcat03343 karma
How much do I have to pay you to steal the bear coat and give it to me?
Where did you guys even get that thing, and did Blake get to keep it? Does he wear it around in real life?
erikgriffin96 karma
That coat is a trip, i really wanted it! That was improv when I asked him for it.
CorporateImperialism35 karma
How many/what commercials are you in? I swear I'm always baked watchin tv and I see my main man montez
erikgriffin64 karma

erikgriffin109 karma
O M G!! i freaking hate that, its my name ya know! thanks for letting me vent!
Hobbzor29 karma
How often do they have to do retakes because someone couldn't keep themselves from laughing?
erikgriffin107 karma
The scene Adam is going crazy about getting fired, I couldnt stop laughing in one of those takes, its a scene they cut out. But that happens sometimes, especially with Jillian that lady is HILARIOUS!
Warlizard27 karma
How did you get this gig?
How much do you get paid?
What's CC like to work for?
Warlizard13 karma
Thanks. Why do you think they chose you? Did you have friends there or was your audition just so spectacular that they had no choice?
erikgriffin41 karma
They looked at a bunch of people, i just really wanted it, it clicked it worked and hear I am!
TipYourHatToMe22 karma
You can only have one. Which ever one you choose, you can do anything with...annyyythiiinnng...
Now, Bacon...or Kevin Bacon.
erikgriffin100 karma
I stopped eating meat about 8 months ago, so damn.. BRING ME SOME KEVIN!
Canuckfan00722 karma
What was the funniest moment that you had on screen? What was the funniest off screen? Also, I love the show. Seriously, Please PLEASE let's keep this ball rolling for as long as we can.
P.s Did you get to keep the America car that the guys stole?
erikgriffin60 karma
I think Sting Ray coochie was pretty funny and that car belonged to the ADs brother.
erikgriffin87 karma
If thats your dream just chase it go for it, practice your craft and NEVER GIVE UP people dont fail, they quit.
misterdirector19 karma
What kind of cameras are used to shoot the show? How long does each episode take? Will we see a full on Montez episode one day soon?
erikgriffin76 karma
I am not sure about the cameras sorry, we usually shoot tuesday - friday and we can only hope there is a full on Montez hour long brought to you by Chevy christmas episode.
Canuckfan00719 karma
Erik, I am reading your responses and seriously laughing at every single one. Will you ever be coming to Vancouver?
erikgriffin47 karma
Nope. most of the show is scripted we just add tags but the foundation of what we say is in the script. For Instance, I added, love will sustain you and Lord of the Rangs.. but most of what was said before that was all written. The staff is dope!
OscarRose5 karma
You were one of my teacher in high school. Very cool that you are now on a successful television show.
