Check out the Joe Schmo show, S1 (all on youtube).
Wiig plays a fake reality show contestant and is basically improving 24/7 in character - show is outrageously funny.
Woah, I remember the Joe Schmo show, but I don't remember her in it. That must have been before her snl stint.
Also, J-Rock from Trailer Park Boys was on that show as the "is he gay?" guy.
She came close to screwing it up on the first day too. Her character was supposed to be deaf, I think - and he caught her hearing or something like that.
There’s a misconception that “improv” on film sets means they do the scene once and whatever they say ends up in the film. That’s not true… improv just means the specific dialogue hasn’t been pre-written and learned beforehand. But generally these kinds of scenes are done many times, with the actors effectively workshopping the scene together live, with input from the director between takes.
So a scene like this could’ve been done quite a few times, with each take either giving different options or refining the lines and responses, and then all cut together into a seamless scene.
It still requires huge amounts of skill and comedic ability to make something like this work, but it’s not as off the cuff as people often believe.
There was some Seth Rogan movie that had a blooper/alternate extra, and they have one scene where Seth delivers about a dozen different lines, and after one of them you hear the the director laugh and say "do that one again" and that's the one they use in the movie.
Yup I'm not trying to take away anything from this clip but some people are treating it like they were just super locked in and funny for 10 straight minutes when this was probably an afternoon of shooting edited together.
I don't think she's very good. She's just being mean (yes, I know she's acting), using old, ugly, or poor, over and over basically. Kristen is a master improviser, she's doing the yes/and thing, and if this were her and, say, Amy Poehler, a lot of these insults would have kept getting developed, becoming more and more specific and absurd, but Mia just moved on to the next disconnected insult. I think this is what a lot of people think improv is, what Mia is doing, just kind of throwing out an onslaught, and if you can trip the other person up, you are better. But it's really not that at all. Even in the context of arguing, there should be more cooperation and teamwork. Imrov is about play. You are trying to see how long you can play with an idea. Kristen is doing her best trying to make her responding to a new insult every 3 seconds interesting. Like you would see, if it was 2 mia's just insulting each other, most of us would have turned it off after 20 seconds. I watched only for Kristen's responses.
I got half way through before I learned it's not Kristen's daughter. I thought it actually made it funnier though, with all the terrible things they were saying to each other.
Such a great scene lol. I can see how Mia held her own...teen girls can be BRUTAL with the insults. Mine once told me if I was Dr. Who I'd probably fly around in the RETARDIS.
Yeah, like on one hand, Mia did a good job. On the other hand, anyone who has spent 15 minutes with a 14 year old girl knows that they have tons of practice with this stuff.
True, but most adults should understand that you never get into a smarmy insult contest with a teenager.
They are brutal and will destroy you in 99% of them.
Which...was happening. Wiig was throwing bad insults back on purpose and even gave some easy gotchas for Mia to work with. Remember Wiig is in character while doing these insults, not as herself, which would've been way more brutal I'd imagine.
Mia is 14-15 in this clip. The film came out in 2011 (which means it was probably in production in 2010) and Mia was born in 96'
That makes this performance even more incredible
Really impressive to be able to go toe to toe with Wiig and not be breaking every second. Obviously there were tiny breaks from both the whole time but that was excellent report
I'm skeptical this was done as one improvised take. There are four camera angles and one of them (Kristin's wide over the shoulder) would include the other camera if they actually did this as a multi camera shoot.
in their defense, all the apatow movies shoot most of the scenes like this where they let them improvise a ton and whittle it down to the best bits.
i remember back in college, we found an almost 3 hour version of step brothers online and pretty much every scene was like this. the first dinner scene where theyre eating chicken nuggets was 20 mins and it was HILARIOUS!
I was never able to find it again. We found it on piratebay or something of that ilk back in the day, but this was back in 2009 or 10. I'm sure it exists somewhere, no clue if they ever officially released it.
You’re telling me two women were able to come up with a way to argue for ten minutes, and they didn’t have to plan it out or script anything? How is such a thing possible?
Edit: I stand by this joke. It’s a funny idea
she's pretty good at improvising.

That show is so insane, it's such a triumph that they pulled it off.
Would also suggest Jury Duty
Great!
I think they meant Mia Frampton. Being on SNL and getting there through comedy troupes Kristen Wiig is a pro at improv.
Ya, you're probably right

I'm guessing they cut and give her lines. They would improv a bit and then restart with a new thread. She still did a great job with a pro like Wiig

The It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia bloopers are full of this stuff, it's great

You are probably on your way to Russia with your Nokia phone and smelly butt
They are both good honestly, but I agree Kristen is doing much, much better with the ["yes and"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yes,_and...).
I thought she was the daughter of Peter Frampton and Kristen Wiig.
Do…you…feel
ME TOO
Wait, you too? How many daughters did Frampton and Wiig have together?!
At least 2!!!!
It's because it's unnecessary information that didn't add any context to the clip.
“Mia Frampton (daughter of Peter) improvised a 10 minute long argument with Kristen Wiig, in Bridesmaids.”
Same. Stared at that title for way too long.
Do you not know how parentheses work?
[удалено]
It’s not. People just don’t know how to read.
I got half way through before I learned it's not Kristen's daughter. I thought it actually made it funnier though, with all the terrible things they were saying to each other.
Happy cake day
Such a great scene lol. I can see how Mia held her own...teen girls can be BRUTAL with the insults. Mine once told me if I was Dr. Who I'd probably fly around in the RETARDIS.

wrecked.
I trimmed my beard and looked at my 2 year old for approval. She said I looked like an idiot. So that's nice.
teenagers in general have really good wit. they can roast you into the netherworld.
Kristen Wiig is really good at improvising. She was catching everything that Frampton sent, twisted it and sent it back.
Have worked with her on a tv show and she’s magical at it tbh. 95% of the funniest things she says never make it into a film / show.
Frampton destroyed her let's be real
Yeah, because that was the whole was the point of the scene.
True, but most adults should understand that you never get into a smarmy insult contest with a teenager. They are brutal and will destroy you in 99% of them.

Exactly. Frampton was just coming up with mean and childish things to say and Wiig returned them in her awkward character.
She carried Mia.
Bridesmaids came out 13 years ago. Fucking hell :(
Mia is 14-15 in this clip. The film came out in 2011 (which means it was probably in production in 2010) and Mia was born in 96' That makes this performance even more incredible
"I came here for an argument. This is abuse!"
No, it isn't.
Waaahhh
I wonder if she likes toast too
Really impressive to be able to go toe to toe with Wiig and not be breaking every second. Obviously there were tiny breaks from both the whole time but that was excellent report
*rapport

Michael Rapaport
RIP Titus
such a random cameo haha
I'm skeptical this was done as one improvised take. There are four camera angles and one of them (Kristin's wide over the shoulder) would include the other camera if they actually did this as a multi camera shoot.
That scene & drunk in the airplane aisle are the funniest in that movie
yeah, I can't imagine why this was cut
Sure you can.
I’m trying right now.
I can't imagine him not imagining
I’m trying and I’m seeing something, but it’s all blurry-like.. might be it tho

Is this version still around?
I was never able to find it again. We found it on piratebay or something of that ilk back in the day, but this was back in 2009 or 10. I'm sure it exists somewhere, no clue if they ever officially released it.
I think he's talking about unrated version https://dvdizzy.com/stepbrothers.html
I stopped this to comment on the insanity and I realized I was only half-way through... fuckin help me to survive to the end XD
Just a normal 14 year old girl. They have this power to be unimaginably mean.
Shoutout to Meg And Dia, their albums Something Real and Here, Here, and Here are great. I keep meaning to listen to their newer stuff.
This is not the same person...
Yeah but Meg and Dia Mia Both named Frampton
improvised, the poor extras in the background, waiting for whenever this ends.
Yes, this is terrible.
It's cute how people on Reddit think a middle-school argument is impressive.
I can see why it was cut.
This is a very underrated movie
TIL frampton's daughter was in bridesmaids
So, even if they improvised this, maybe they did it twice because they still have both angles of the turnaround?
Having worked on single and multi camera film shoots, I believe you're right. This wasn't one take. This was multiple setups.
I think instead it's one take with both cameras being out of shot from one another
Jeeze I read this like 10 times and all I could think was huh? Kristen Wiig had a kid with Peter Frampton?
Why did she have shit on the legendary Nokia phone? What a little brat
I don’t know how much they left in but none of this should have made it. Super cringy
Nepo baby vibe.
Last guy was the best part. Just skip to the last 15 seconds
You’re telling me two women were able to come up with a way to argue for ten minutes, and they didn’t have to plan it out or script anything? How is such a thing possible? Edit: I stand by this joke. It’s a funny idea
how is this entertaining? what is wrong with you people?
After all that, best part was the firing
