So, david, I've always wanted to ask you [tranquil music.]
- Oh, this interview seemed to be going Just like the thing jack and jill Went up that ol' hill to draw from: Well.
But just then, scott reared back And asked a question with all his might.
- Do you find it hard to juggle work and family? - Oh, not really - David answered.
- I don't have kids - David continued.
- And in between projects, I have a lot of free time.
- Marvelous.
- Okay.
- So you were in eternal sunshine of the spotless mind.
- Oh, my god, what, do you go on imdb and just-- - When you read that script, did you say, Finally, there's a movie that's as demented And whacked out as my own mind? - Yeah, I said it repeatedly, uh, to anybody That would listen.
- How'd that go over? - Most people were annoyed.
- Hmm.
- You know.
But I kept pressing them, like, "no, you gotta read this.
"finally, a movie as whacked out and demented As what goes on in here.
" [cuckoos.]
And I would stand next to, you know, On street corners, those, uh, The poles where you push the button, and it's-- They have the noise.
And then I'd stand there and go like this, While the noise was going, so it'd be-- - And point at your head? - [cuckoos.]
And roll my eyes.
- Mm-hmm.
- But I wouldn't have to make the sound with my mouth.
- Sure.
- I'm making it now so that-- - I can make it right now if you like so-- - All right, go.

I'm getting a bit off topic.
I meant to tell you about scott's adventure.
Well, after that break, scott and his guest decided To continue their riveting repartee.
[chuckles.]
- Hey, welcome back.
We're here with david cross.
And senatorial candidate felix dewhurst Will be out in a moment.
And, david, boy.
Good interview, huh? - Oh, delicious.

It won't come true.
- I guess I'll never know.
Both: [chuckle.]
- [gasps.]
[giggling.]
- All right, well [glass shatters.]
We here at comedy bang! Bang! Obviously love to joke, But we do know that the best jokes Come from real life.
For instance, reggie, Think of the worst date you've ever been on.
Yeah, see what I mean? So we're about to send you folks On a real-life date-zaster.
[heavy metal music.]
This is julie.
Her friends alerted us to julie's profile On an online dating site.
She's about to go on a blind date.
But not just any blind date.
This one's going to go wrong In all the right ways.
This is michael, the young man who asked julie out On the date.
Michael is actually with us.
He's an actor who we asked to create A fake profile on the dating site.
Michael and our hidden cameras are going to ensure That this date-zaster becomes a true date-astrophe.
The big night.
I took my position in the control room And waited for the sparks to fly.
But to really ensure that this becomes A true date-zaster, We also hired another actor to play the waiter.
This waiter is going to act rude, Crude - [farts loudly.]
- And totally lewd.
Boing! And to make totally sure That no one in the restaurant has julie's back, We replaced all of the normal dinner patrons With paid extras.
But to make sure we really get the reactions we want, We replaced julie with a paid actress, sarah.
This is gonna be awesome.
[laughs.]
These two date-zaster victims are getting ready For the worst night of their lives.
And since the restaurant is located Next to a noisy construction site, We built a bistro in our own studio, Free of any sound problems.
And to make sure the dialogue is as funny As humanly possible, We hired some of hollywood's top gag writers.
And to make sure we get the best performances possible, We hired a director to work with the actors Before we shoot the scene.
- You feel in a scene! You don't think! - Well, don't you think I want this?! - You want it too much! That's the problem! - To top it all off, We replaced the house musician With none other than hollywood funny man Weird al yankovic.
Okay, everything's set.
Now it's time for this real-life date-zaster To unfold.
Action! - You look very beautiful tonight.
- Oh, and you look very handsome.
- Duh, welcome.
Our special is boogers.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah! - Well, I never! [humorous trombone slide.]
- How dare you? I am the mayor, and this is my wife! - [giggling.]
- duh, I'm cooking with gas.
[farts loudly.]
- oh! - [chortling.]
[cartoonish music.]
All: Check, plea - [plays finale.]
just eat it [laughter.]
- A true slice of life.
All right, we'll be right back with more david cross And senatorial candidate felix dewhurst.
[pop rock synthesizer beat.]
- As the segment came to a close, The camera dollied back from a two-shot To a wide shot of scott and david, And the director remarked, "cut to commercial.
" And so they did.
[chuckles.]
- [rapping on synthesizer.]
- Hey there.
Welcome back to the show.
We're here with david s and, well [tranquil music.]
- right about now, Old scott was more wound up Than a yo-yo on a tilt-a-whirl.
And he was angrier than a bull in a red room Full of matadors.
I should mention that I'm just guessing here.
You know, I can't hear scott's thoughts Or see into the future, And from where I'm standing, 'cause the lights are so dark, I can barely see his face.
[chuckles.]
anyway, It was time for scott to welcome his next guest.
- Anyway, it's time for me to welcome my next guest-- - Who? - I'm about to tell you and everyone.
He's actually a candidate for senate-- - What's his name? - His name's felix dewhurst.
[upbeat music.]
Hi.
- How are you? - Good evening.
- Hi, david cross.
- It's great to meet you.
- All right.
Hi, welcome to the show.
- Hi.
Thank you very much.
It's so great to be here.
- What do I call you? Do I call you senator Or senator-to-be or-- - You can just call me felix right now.
I'm running for the office of senate - Oh, okay.
- But I am not there yet.
- Well, good luck.
When is the vote coming? - Uh, the vote is coming, well, in November.
We're gonna be rocking the vote.
- Ah, good luck to you.
- Thank you.
- Why are you on the show, if I may ask? - Well, that's a great question.
I'm here because I feel That there is far too much dishonesty in politics.
And I want to come clean about a few things.
- Okay, well, great.
So what's the thing You want to get off your chest first? - Scott I am not proud of this.
But back in college, I experimented with marijuana.
- Okay, well, that's not so bad.
I mean, david, that's-- I mean, a lot of politicians-- - I did it on a major scale.
- How big? - 10,000 times.
After college, I stopped using as frequently.
- Oh, you--you still use? - I still use.
Nowhere near the amount that I did Back in college.
- Okay.
- Back in college, I was just a fuzz head.
- Are you high right now? - Yes.
- So, senator, that's okay, though.
I mean, pot is really not that big of a deal anymore.
I mean, you know, everyone kind of is coming clean About that, so it's-- it's no big deal.
But I'm glad that you got it out here.
More politicians should be honest.
- There's more.
- Okay, sure, I mean-- - I'm not gonna say that I'm gonna blow your mind, But I am going to Make a statement that is Somewhat controversial, That, yes, I go to yoga, And the reason I go to yoga is 'cause I like to stare at people's sweaty butts.
I'm an unapologetic butt man.
- Just butts in general, that's your thing? - I could give a rat's buns About the front side, But that backside, I-- - Yeah.
- [chuckles.]
What is that song? I like big butts, and I cannot lie.
- Uh, senator-to-be, I just don't think that that's anything The public necessarily needs to know because-- - It's not your position to tell me what's right And what's wrong.
- [whistles.]
- okay.
I-I'm-- - You know what else I did? - Please.
You don't need to confess to anything else.
- I Am a very rich man, And I made my fortune by making and selling Videotapes of bum fights.
- Oh! - Bums that we found on the street, And we just got them to fight each other.
- Why? - We told this guy, "hey, that guy's talking mess about you.
" And then we would tell this guy, "hey, that guy, He just criticized your family.
" And they would just--bam! And we'd videotape it, and then we'd just send it off To some place.
- That's terrible! - They'd make massive amounts of videotapes, And people are just like, "aaagh, bums fighting!" - That's reprehensible.
That is awful.
- Millions of dollars.
- You're a terrible person.
- Shut up.
You know what else I did? - Oh, god.
- I performed An elaborate, uh, museum heist, Uh, just so I could steal a little-- One of those child mummies And have sex with it.
- Ugh.
- I mean, it's not that big of a deal.
- It's not? You--it's necrophilia.
Do you know what that word means? - It is necrophilia, yeah, having sex with a dead person.
I'm a necrophiliac.
Necrophiliacs know what necrophilia is.
- These are terrible admissions.
It's illegal.
- I got to have sex with something very young But very old at the same time.
- It's kind of like having sex with emmanuel lewis.
- Scott, that is disgusting.
- Look, uh, senator-to-be, You're not the senator to be.
I don't think anyone should vote for you.
Please don't vote for this man.
- [laughing.]
ohh! Guess what.
- You've ruined your chances.
- I've ruined my chances? - No one's gonna vote for you.
- Guess what.
- What? - There is no way That I am gonna lose Because I am in the pockets of the special interests.
- Oh! - Scott aukerman is a small, little man! [america the beautiful playing.]
'cause he believes that this country is One man, one vote, but I'll tell you what.
In reality, this country is one man, one vote, One politician having sex with a child mummy.
We'll be back to you after this commercial break.
- Hey, that's my line.
- Ah.
- Ow! You wanna stick around? - Yeah, I'd love to.
Thank you.
[funky synthesizer music.]
[hip-hop synthesizer music.]
- Great story.
- As he came back from commercials, Scott reflected on the most important moments Of his life-- When he welcomed david cross, When he caused a date-zaster.
But there was one last task For our host to accomplish.
- All right, I want to thank our guests.
That's been our show.
David cross, thank you so much.
- Thank you, reggie.
- Felix dewhurst.
Please don't run for senate, okay? - Okay.
- All right.
- And so scott thanked his guests, Kind soul that he is, And he said good night.
And with that, your humble narrator Brings the greatest story ever told To its conclusion.
Oh, you're probably still wondering About how I find myself involved in this story.
Well, I've always wanted to be a voiceover artist, So I got this janitor job at a tv studio.
After all, if you don't make your own breaks, who will? [chuckles.]
And remember, I do not work on weekends.
Good night.
[jazzy music.]
[engine revs, metal clangs.]
- The wolf dead.
- Absolutely.
