All I know of this movie was in the early 2000s I was at my friends house and we asked his Dad, who is a very quiet person, what is his favourite film. And after a long pause he said “Good Burger”.

Good Burger 2 is the film that dares to answer the question “Are we still all dudes?”

What I really like about Pineapple Express is that the characters get along when they're high but really dislike each other during the brief moments that they sober up. 

This was an all-timer. The new additions to the cast certainly pulls their weight. And despite “the drug episode” usually being antithetical to comedy (sorry camp 1ers), this was played believably well. Didn’t resort to any druggy visual gags either which I appreciated. So many spit take one liners!

It probably helps that they were hella baked when they filmed that one

Agreed. The best recent comedy that pulls off “believably stoned” I can think of is Pineapple Express. I will defend that movie for that reason. The lack of attention span, the under-reacting/overreacting to stressful scenarios at the perfect time, the mood swings. There are subtleties to it

Acting “believably” drunk is tough, and I imagine it’s even harder to dial in the tone with other drugs where people’s reactions are even more variable. So it’s not surprising people often play it super-broad and it falls flat.

Catering in NYC was always a blast. Got to meet a bunch of stars and celebrities. Watching so called “fancy” people act like trashy pigs and getting to gorge myself on decadent food was fun. Wait staff hustling old people out of money, coke snorts under the table, and lacivious cougars tipping hundreds just to touch…

Getting some real Charlie Kelly vibes here. 

Based on where they stuck it I’m glad there was no mop head.

Was the surprise really just the handle, or the manner in which they presented it?

WHY

I recently found out that I like virgin mojitos because I asked a bartender, “Do you guys have any mocktails?” She said they didn’t, but could make me one and asked, “Do you like mint?” I said yes and she made it. When I complimented her on the drink she told me what it was.

But I didn’t just say, “Make me a drink and…

“Surprise me.”
“OK. On today’s menu we have...”

I never ask for someone to “Suprise Me”, a better statement, and one that I use regularly, “What is your favorite item/drink/meal?”  This seems like a much better version of the “Surprise Me”.

Which is the LEAST thrilling of the series since Cocaine Bear has meth mouth and can’t bite anyone anymore LOL. That and he is pissed all his bear friends call him Gummy Bear.

Last time I said “surprise me” I was served a mop handle.

I do this sometimes at a bar that has good bartenders. You give them an idea of your favorite base liquor(s) and general flavor profile (sweet/not sweet, fruity, sour, whatever) and then they use their expertise to give you something from their knowledge base. First time I tried Red Breast was similar thing and now…

I’ll grant that a bit of this was alluded to in the article, but back when I was a barista, I definitely enjoyed experimenting with a few regulars who would ask me to just make something up. That said, I definitely wouldn’t have been as comfortable doing it for someone I didn’t see often and know a bit about their…

Are there really just those 2 kinds of people?
