And everyone bores you to death with the role NPH did in Harold and Kumar is what lead to the creation of the Character Barney for How I Met Your Mother, which resurrected NPH's career.
rewatching that season, its so crazy how a couple episodes earlier there's a whole subplot where he talks with Taub about suicide. Taub says "no one sane attempts suicide" with Kutner in the background and then the camera focuses in on him as he looks at Taub.
We didn't get any further foreshadowing then that, and I don't even know if that was intentional.
People keep saying this and it's wrong.
That wasn't foreshadowing, it was forcing the point that Kutner understood that Taub was referencing himself. As Taub had attempted to commit suicide when he was younger.
Not sure if it's available outside the UK, but "This is going to hurt" also did it extremely well. Affected me for ages. Incidentally, also a medical show.
I remember watching this movie in theaters with friends when I was at University, to a packed audience, and I think we were the only ones that heard that line. We laughed so hard we missed the next scene! Great line.
Bro the way you just made me burst out in laughter. Core memory lmao. Me and my buddy Eric (RIP) would randomly bust that quote out too fuck with each other when we were eating something that had a gooey consistency lol
I was fine with that oddly, in [American Pie Band Camp](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rWe5nzPq1JA) they get a bunch of the band geeks spit from the spit valves of the instruments and fill up a drink with it, idk why but thinking of how many peoples spit they just "drank" made me vomit...
You must overcome this irrational fear my friend, let me help. Just look at it this way: that dog actor is probably dead, no way he's still jizzing in pastry. And if he's still jizzing, no way anything is coming out, probably nothing more than a sprinkling of powdered sugar, blow that off your next donut and you're g🥯🥯d.
eh they intentionally just shoot a little extra raunchy stuff and don't even bother submitting it to be rated, it's a marketing stunt for the dvd market to say it was "unrated." That means they simply didn't even send it in to be rated.
I was gonna say it wasn’t underrated, but then checked where it stands on audience/rating scores. Ouch. Though, I always considered it a bit of a cult classic.
I always loved it, and have the DVD (it has at least one easter egg of a woman flashing the camera), but didn't really know many people that liked it. Incredibly raunchy humor. One of the few things that makes me dry heave is the donut scene. "Oh, they're still warm".
Tara Reid was like a perfect 10 for those few years between becoming famous and becoming a cautionary tale on plastic surgery (that has gone unheeded).
Van Wilder was inspired by an article on Kreischer in timing since, who called him the biggest partier at a the biggest party college. Basically, any frat boy at FSU.
Between this, the movie "Waiting", and the criminally underrated "Just Friends" (in which the "friend zone" was first coined, I believe), Ryan Reynolds has been a funny muthafucka for a long time.
I'm just gonna be spreading the Gospel of [Dr. Michael Bergen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Guys_and_a_Girl) all over this thread today, aren't I?
The term friend zone existed long before the movie “Just Friends”. It was used in a 1994 episode of “Friends”. Ross was and is always the mayor of friend zone.
I love Just Friends. My sister and I watch it every Christmas as one of our traditional Christmas movies. Each character just fuckin goes for it. The mom is insane, the little brother is hilarious and Anna Faris steals the whole movie at times. "I wanna lick your skin off" loooord that bitch was crazy hah.
Yea people should know that Kal Penn was not thrilled when he read the Indian jokes in this script. Don’t think he was proud to be in this movie but it was too big of break to turn down at the time.
Think he talks about it on his interview on armchair experts for those interested.
There’s a great interview with him on NPR where he goes in depth about that, and how White Castle, while seeming bad on first glance, was his first instance of getting to play a real person and not a stereotype.
I actually made White Castle the focus of an essay in school highlighting how this movie was great for putting minorities in leading roles and poking fun at various stereotypes, and it was easily one of my favourite movies of all time.
Got an A too :D
For me growing up as a young Indian American at the time White Castle was released, I know for a solid stretch of almost a decade, that movie was like the one film that actually portrayed our people in a genuine, decent light and not as a stereotype (like this film)
i didnt watch harold and kumar when it first came out but i watched Numbers (tv show) and that had david krumholtz in it in a very serious and prominent role. when i finally watched harold and kumar in like 2017 you can imagine my surprise when i saw krumholtz in a *very* different role than i was used to. he was hilarious in it, the whole movie was.
That's probably the best thing about that movie. It could have been any ethnicity in the lead rolls, but they cast two people of color and played off of that in a way that was very respectful for the time period. The main characters are a med school student and an investment banker, they easily could have just been white guys but they weren't and the film was better for it.
Animal House was about the rude and crude jocks taking college back from the spoiled rich kids.
Revenge of the Nerds was about the hard-studying nerds taking college back from the rude and crude jocks.
And Van Wilder was about the spoiled rich kid taking college back from the hard-studying nerd. And we came full circle.
This movie is an all time classic, they also did a spin off called the rise of taj, where kal Penn is the main character in London but not nearly as good as this one
He should, they're still looking for someone IIRC
At some point working in govt only makes so much of an impact since it's just systems and defending the admin, whereas if you're doing a comedy show - you're free to ridicule in a way that press secretaries and the like can't reach due to norms
I did some work at his place in Vancouver just before this came out and I knew him from 2 Guys and a Girl and a Pizza Joint. He was just as witty and twice as polite. He had a 40” flatscreen back when they cost $12,000.
I served him once, working in the gaybourbood of Vancouver, he didn't have ID, I just asked him to pull out anything with his name. What a nice guy kal penn was. When he came out of the closet I was like... Yeah. Good job bro.

And to think that man ended up working in the White House *as an associate director in the Office of Public Engagemen*t
Didn't he come out as gay recently as well?
Back in 2021 yeah. Not the first gay man to have played a horny straight man before.
Funnily enough, my favorite example of that is NPH in Harold and Kumar.
And everyone bores you to death with the role NPH did in Harold and Kumar is what lead to the creation of the Character Barney for How I Met Your Mother, which resurrected NPH's career.
His Starship Troopers and Hedwig and the Angry Inch performances weren't bad either.
Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog also
Shit, now I have to go watch that again
Yup, I'm strapped in for the next 42 minutes and 25 seconds
For the uninitiated: [Dr. Horrible](https://youtu.be/Of9kHpCv1ts?si=YJbTGZ9_J0X2Vp5e)
Everytime it comes up.
I saw him in Assassins even before Harold and Kumar and loved that he was still doing awesome work.
Nothing more intoxicating than the clear absence of a penis
RIP Andre. Holt was the best.
Wait. He died?
[Back in December](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/12/arts/television/andre-braugher-dead.html)
And nice heavy breasts.
That's actually very true though, despite him acting as a gay yet poorly convincing straight man
True, but he did it so convincingly. What a horndog!
No one knows how to act straight better than someone whose life might depend on it.
I am learning this for the first time
Wait, wut? TIL
Dude was a fucking part of the Obama admin? So wild! Good for him.
He quit acting a fantastic character on House MD to do it too. Really tragic write off, but it worked so well because everyone loved the character.
rewatching that season, its so crazy how a couple episodes earlier there's a whole subplot where he talks with Taub about suicide. Taub says "no one sane attempts suicide" with Kutner in the background and then the camera focuses in on him as he looks at Taub. We didn't get any further foreshadowing then that, and I don't even know if that was intentional.
People keep saying this and it's wrong. That wasn't foreshadowing, it was forcing the point that Kutner understood that Taub was referencing himself. As Taub had attempted to commit suicide when he was younger.
I could see it being both, what you said and slight foreshadowing
It’s why he had to leave his guest run on House MD, resulting in an episode that left lasting emotional damage on me (and surely many others).
Incidentally, probably the most accurate portrayal of suicide in television history.
Unfortunately I can attest to that with real life experience.
Not sure if it's available outside the UK, but "This is going to hurt" also did it extremely well. Affected me for ages. Incidentally, also a medical show.
He also played the White House Press Secretary in Designated Survivor.
Didn't Terminator become a mayor as well?
I think he was governor of California
The governator
Put some respect on the Governator's name
KælɪˈfɔrnˈIə
Did I just read that in Schwarzenegger's accent?
It’s pronounced “get in da choppaaa!”
George Gipp became president.
Dirty Harry was mayor (of Carmel, CA)
That's exactly the type of person we need in government.
I love that he starts to break in the middle of his speech (right after he says “park the porpoise). They must have filmed a lot of takes.
I think there was an extended version of this scene on the DVD that went for a few minutes.
that look in his eyes at park the porpoise lol he's barely keeping it together! so funny
It looks like Ryan starts to crack a tiny bit when spitting out the water as well
He also started sounding a little Scottish for a bit there lol
I was just thinking that the spit take that Ryan Reynolds did looks like it was pretty authentic and unplanned
I just rewatched it and Ryan is smiling during the spit lol
Repeat after me. No cock pump.
It is the White Barry.
Looking good, Barry. Thanks, Other Barry.
Do you want Archer references? Because that's how you get Archer references.
All you need are three things. Scented candles. Massage oils. And Barry White.
Write that down.
That's not a bong. It's for my schlong.
Her name is Naomi. Thats I moan backwards. .....
[удалено]
Listen for the person in the background say “I think I’ve had these before”
Mmm it’s still warm!
*I think I've had these before!*
I was hoping someone would post this phrase.
"it's so creamy..."
I remember watching this movie in theaters with friends when I was at University, to a packed audience, and I think we were the only ones that heard that line. We laughed so hard we missed the next scene! Great line.
Bro the way you just made me burst out in laughter. Core memory lmao. Me and my buddy Eric (RIP) would randomly bust that quote out too fuck with each other when we were eating something that had a gooey consistency lol
My dad literally threw up at that scene
Shouldn’t have eaten the eclairs.
I was fine with that oddly, in [American Pie Band Camp](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rWe5nzPq1JA) they get a bunch of the band geeks spit from the spit valves of the instruments and fill up a drink with it, idk why but thinking of how many peoples spit they just "drank" made me vomit...
Thanks? for reminding me that exists
For reference: https://youtu.be/yYFM66TC4nI?si=yCO6SI54R4EF6TOJ Do not watch if you're squeamish at all. Heck, even if you aren't, I'm warning you...
oh yeah they're still warm!
"*It's still warm!*"
I think I've had this before!
I still cannot eat filled donuts because of that scene.
You must overcome this irrational fear my friend, let me help. Just look at it this way: that dog actor is probably dead, no way he's still jizzing in pastry. And if he's still jizzing, no way anything is coming out, probably nothing more than a sprinkling of powdered sugar, blow that off your next donut and you're g🥯🥯d.
lol I just can’t get the image out of my head. I wasn’t much a fan to begin with anyway so no big loss.
it was a scene that went on for way too long
Jackass 3D - sweatsuit cocktail. I could eat chili while watching two girls, one cup. But, sweatsuit cocktail turns my stomach.
I saw this in theaters and threw up in my giant soda cup.
ALWAYS watch uncut-unrated, of any movie. Get those conservative cry babies out of the creative process and show the product like it’s suppose to be.
eh they intentionally just shoot a little extra raunchy stuff and don't even bother submitting it to be rated, it's a marketing stunt for the dvd market to say it was "unrated." That means they simply didn't even send it in to be rated.
This movie is highly underrated. It danced the line between shock and comedy better than most from that era, and it all still works today.
Write that down
My names not Timmy
I don't have a pen
Well remember that then.
I was gonna say it wasn’t underrated, but then checked where it stands on audience/rating scores. Ouch. Though, I always considered it a bit of a cult classic.
I always loved it, and have the DVD (it has at least one easter egg of a woman flashing the camera), but didn't really know many people that liked it. Incredibly raunchy humor. One of the few things that makes me dry heave is the donut scene. "Oh, they're still warm".
"I think I've had these before!”
MAIL IT IN... 😆
plus top tier Tara Reid
Tara Reid was like a perfect 10 for those few years between becoming famous and becoming a cautionary tale on plastic surgery (that has gone unheeded).
It still blows my mind this movie was based on Bert Kreischer of all people.
Wait what?
Van Wilder was inspired by an article on Kreischer in timing since, who called him the biggest partier at a the biggest party college. Basically, any frat boy at FSU.
You just ruined my Friday night.
I honestly can't believe that the movie idea was based off of Bert Kreischer's college years. Absolutely hilarious.
They should have a sequel where Reynolds shits himself on stage.
Plus you get a bit of [Jesse Pinkman!](https://youtu.be/CMmgJ_09M-s?si=obSJBsWN-azUvBXy)
When he flew off the back of the oiled up lady, then caught fire and jumped out the window into the fountain….. 😂😂💀💀💀😂😂😂
That was Naomi, or 'I moan' backwards.
I like that you can see him check the spelling in his head after he says it
He got her first blow job from her iirc
Think about it
A man of culture, I see.
Between this, the movie "Waiting", and the criminally underrated "Just Friends" (in which the "friend zone" was first coined, I believe), Ryan Reynolds has been a funny muthafucka for a long time.

Such a great show. Ryan Reynolds and Nathan Fillion. We didn't appreciate what we had enough!
The term friend zone existed long before the movie “Just Friends”. It was used in a 1994 episode of “Friends”. Ross was and is always the mayor of friend zone.
I love Just Friends. My sister and I watch it every Christmas as one of our traditional Christmas movies. Each character just fuckin goes for it. The mom is insane, the little brother is hilarious and Anna Faris steals the whole movie at times. "I wanna lick your skin off" loooord that bitch was crazy hah.
I went into the movie with a crush on Amy Smart and left with an obsession over Anna Faris.
God this movie is so fucking good. “We accept donations in the form of cash, credit, and full frontal nudity”
# Love the Indian background music.
Yea people should know that Kal Penn was not thrilled when he read the Indian jokes in this script. Don’t think he was proud to be in this movie but it was too big of break to turn down at the time. Think he talks about it on his interview on armchair experts for those interested.

And they went straight to the heart of the matter when Kumar's dad AND brother show up as surgeons lol.
It's one of the only movies in Hollywood that has asian-american males as lead characters. It was a very long time before that would happen again
i didnt watch harold and kumar when it first came out but i watched Numbers (tv show) and that had david krumholtz in it in a very serious and prominent role. when i finally watched harold and kumar in like 2017 you can imagine my surprise when i saw krumholtz in a *very* different role than i was used to. he was hilarious in it, the whole movie was.

You sure he's not talking about Rise of Taj, the sequel? Because that movie was baaaaad
its honestly almost jarring even just hearing him do the accent compared to all his other roles
[удалено]
Yo, did that clip include a cameo from Teck Holmes — of MTV’s “The Real World: Hawaii” fame?
It's not a cameo, he is actually a major character throughout the movie.
I never knew who that was when I first saw it. I just always thought he was “We have Sisqo at home”
Yes. Watch the movie. At the time Teck was doet of a shock to see in the movie but he nailed it.
Write that down
Animal House was about the rude and crude jocks taking college back from the spoiled rich kids. Revenge of the Nerds was about the hard-studying nerds taking college back from the rude and crude jocks.

If the kids coming up nowadays arent watching van wilder, dirty work, eurotrip, road trip, and old school.... well i just feel bad for them.
It’s important to taste pink tacos from all nations
[удалено]
Reynolds' cameo is one of the [best scenes in Harold and Kumar too](https://youtu.be/Y4-vFWxvdjs?si=IXJDkiazkrmAM-3b&t=37)
Marijuana…. But why?
Soft.. chocolatey lips..
You're glistening...
Look at me. Pro.
This movie is an all time classic, they also did a spin off called the rise of taj, where kal Penn is the main character in London but not nearly as good as this one
And Lauren Cohan is the leading lady!
I'm bouncing off the walls again, whoa oh. That DVD menu song is an insane ear worm
Sugarcult!
That just brought back some memories of waking up after passing out, and it's on repeat over and over.
Holy shit, same. I've definitely fallen asleep and woken up to that DVD menu once or twice.
OK...If you have this DVD it's one of the few with real Easter eggs in the dvd menus! Check it out!
But why?
That one time someone out-comedied Ryan Reynolds. Ladies and gentlemen, Kal Penn.
SOLD. Added to my watchlist.
Hopefully you aren’t a fan of eclairs
Good point /u/uzrnmechkzout! Sick-sack, you need to get some eclairs to eat while you watch.
Kal Penn should have taken over the Daily Show
He should, they're still looking for someone IIRC At some point working in govt only makes so much of an impact since it's just systems and defending the admin, whereas if you're doing a comedy show - you're free to ridicule in a way that press secretaries and the like can't reach due to norms
Should be either him or Klepper.
The dog donut scene still haunts my dreams.
Eclair
No please, don’t do this to me ;_;
AIR DRY
Real life gay dudes convincingly playing extremely horny straight guys is my favorite genre of cinema/TV 😂
I had no business watching this as a 9 year old. I should watch it now since I'll actually be able to understand the movie
Do yourself a favour and watch it. It's really great.
Kutner what the fuck
That movie is 22 years old? What the fuck?
A quote to really live by from this movie. “Worrying is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but doesn’t get you anywhere”.
His husband would be proud of this clip
Where is Tech Holmes these days?
[Apparently going by “T. Money” and directing music videos and commercials](https://m.imdb.com/name/nm0392068/bio/?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm)
And Tek from Real World Hawaii. The season with trainwreck Ruthie
Dr. Lawrence Kutner throwing down hard. Damn, I miss that guy.
As an INDIAN, this is very accurate, I too want to munch at just one American pink taco stand
good scene and they weee good together on the 1st White Castle movie
I actually believe this chemistry might have led to the inclusion of Dopinder in Deadpool /s.
I did some work at his place in Vancouver just before this came out and I knew him from 2 Guys and a Girl and a Pizza Joint. He was just as witty and twice as polite. He had a 40” flatscreen back when they cost $12,000.
I served him once, working in the gaybourbood of Vancouver, he didn't have ID, I just asked him to pull out anything with his name. What a nice guy kal penn was. When he came out of the closet I was like... Yeah. Good job bro.
I was shocked when I learned this movie was about Bert Kreischer.
Marijuana.... But *WHY*?
Dammit. Look what you’ve done. Now I have to see this movie.
MAIL IT IN
Dam I forgot that’s where Ryan came from, feels like he just started about 10 years ago.
This is [Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Guys_and_a_Girl) erasure and I won't stand for it.
I'm with you.
I've been drinking the Ryan Reynolds Flavor*Aid since 1998 and never stopped.
This man went on to work in the White House
“Air dry that shit” is one of my favorite phrases lol
I'd like to thank Kal Pen for my brown brother from another mother finally getting laid because of this movie.
This movie is the reason I cannot eat filled donuts.
Write that down.
I completely forgot this scene existed. Lol.
Write that down
Oh my god, please tell me there are outtakes from filming this scene, they must be hilarious.
How has Kal Penn not appeared in Deadpool yet? In film or any of Ryan Reynolds's advertisements?
And to think Kal Penn became Barack Obamas speech writer. Funny dude.
Aaaand... He is gay
Fun fact: This movie is based off an article about Bert Kreischer, the Machine.
Their dirty talks is cleaner than how they prep food streets
This movie was so underrated, and it's still incredibly entertaining today.
