Yes, he is silly, yes.
He is very, very, yes, he is very silly.
Hi!
He is very silly.
Yes, boo.
Just so damn cute.
Let me them in.
Just let me absorb their energy and their souls.
[cheering, applause]
So damn sexy!
Oh.
I'm ready now.
I have fed, I'm ready.
Tell me about this new movie, Next Goal Wins.
Tell me about it.
I'll tell you about it.
It's the true story of the worst
soccer team in the world.
And this really happened.
American Samoa had a team, and in the history of the country,
they had never won a game or scored a goal.
They still, they still hold the record for the biggest
international loss, and that was against Australia
and that was 31-zero.
Wow.
So they didn't let that deter them.
They got a new coach, played by Michael Fassbender.
He came in, turned them around, and you know,
they kind of gave each other a little something
and, you know, they both gained something
from that relationship.
And it's just a, it's an uplifting story.
Rare these days.
You know?
Where nothing bad happens to anyone,
and it's just a beautiful, uplifting story
about an underdog sports team.
Yes.
[cheering, applause]
And I know it's good.
Oh, my goodness.
Tell me, tell me, tell me how you pick projects,
because you are funny.
You know, people don't know this about Taika,
is that he's very funny.
He has a great sense of humor.
And most of his projects are really funny.
Like, what makes you pick the projects?
What do you, what is your aim when you're doing that?
I have to-- most of it is like,
I want to go to work and know that
I'm going to have a good time and that
I'm going to enjoy my day.
And you know, because I'm a filmmaker
and we get to go and do these projects.
And people still haven't figured out
it's not a real job. - Yeah.
You know?
Like, what we-- what we get to do, I mean, we should,
it's like, I'm amazed that they let us still do this stuff,
you know.
We get to go to work, put makeup
on, dress up in these things.
These aren't even my clothes, you know.
Do these things.
I got to give these back after this, you know.
And then, and they go pretend all day.
Yeah.
And then we go home and then, but a lot
of times in these industries, people
are like bitching and moaning about like,
oh, my coffee wasn't hot enough.
Yeah, yeah.
It's like, man, like, just chill out.
This is good.
So the whole film's about just chilling out, you know,
reminding people what we've got is pretty good.
Yeah.
[applause]
Wow. So--
I'm also taking this--
I'm taking this free cup.
I take it, you know, like the soup.
This will be mine, too.
Listen, oh, you guys think we're all bigwigs
and we're rolling in it.
We need, we get what we can get.
We take what we can get, right?
We'll have a whole bunch of cups for you, baby.
- Thank you. - Bag and everything.
Tell me, now you know I'm going to bring
it up, Our Flag Means Death.
Yes.
[cheering, applause]
Yes, yes, yes.
Spanish Jackie!
So, do you know what beast you was creating
when you made me Spanish Jack?
[laughter]
Do you know the trouble you started in my house?
Because I, can't nobody talk to me now.
I want 20 husbands.
I have, I have a sword.
I have a gang of outfits, you know, the princess.
So what was you thinking when you created my outfit, my--
You know what?
It's just we need powerful people on screen like that.
You know, that show is so inclusive and you know,
everyone's represented.
And it's, I mean, it's like spot the hetero in there,
and that, you know, spot the heterosexual character in
that show, which is beautiful.
It's a great thing to have.
Also, you know, we--
we just need more shows that are different
and feel like that, you know.
I mean, I don't know if you've seen all the--
the amazing fan art, which is basically just--
So, so good.
It's just--
[applause]
There are some incredible soft porn artists out there.
So seriously!
You know?
I've got, I think people are getting my face tat--
I saw, I found one, my head is Blackbeard
tattooed on the body of a dog.
But you're such a good Blackbeard.
Oh, my god.
I would watch the show even if I wasn't on it,
that's how good that show is.
Yeah, me too, me too.
It is so good.
I love the relationship of Blackbeard.
I just, it's one of my favorite things on the show,
because it shows such like vulnerability.
Yeah.
And love, and like a tough man finding his feelings.
I think it's so important to show that.
Thank you. I'm glad you said tough man.
Yeah, to show that on screen.
Do you know what I'm saying? - Yeah, no, for sure.
That tough men are supposed to have feelings, too.
It's like, the way you found your way
to love and everything.
I love everything about it.
I think, well, you know, when you look at human beings
in general, when people, you know, when tough guys say
things like, you know, never let anyone get too close,
you know, not going to--
never fall in love.
That's because they have a tendency
to let people get too close and want to get close
and are suckers for love.
Yeah.
And you--
People who say, oh, I can't get too close,
means that they-- they love getting close to people.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's something I learned about you, yeah.
Yeah!
That's something I learned about you
when I first came here.
I was like, he's just a big old softy and he just loves love.
I know you wouldn't think it.
Big old, big old love lover.
Well, OK, including me, you had some serious cameos
come on there. Minnie Driver.
Yeah.
- Bronson Pinchot. - Yep.
- Is that how you say his name? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Balki, it's Balki. - Balki.
[laughter]
Will Arnett, Fred Armisen.
Yes, yes, yes.
Like, how do you get them to come, I mean?
I mean, that's like, I would like to think it's just me,
but I think--
I think that, you know, the--
whatever the popularity of the show
was and like how people got to see some of the stuff
that we'd made in the first season,
I think that just was testament to the good job we were doing,
and people wanted to sign on to that.
And you know, I think comedians follow comedians and like,
you know, we're all friends in real life.
Everyone sort of, yeah, everyone,
it's a lot easier for us to get each other,
to convince each other.
We're also massive extroverts.
That's like--
Yes.
It's not that hard to get people to be in your show.
Yes.
Now, I'm pretty sure you get this question all the time,
but I'm going to ask it because you know I'm crazy.
Do you know you fine as hell?
[cheering]
Because it's--
[cheering]
It's-- it's, I mean, you're like you're like one
of those guys in high school that
don't know that they're cute.
Oh, I know.
[laughter]
And I knew back then, too.
So the thing is, you know, I don't
know if you get like, you know, some of you will get this.
When you walk past a shiny surface,
like a reflection and you catch a glimpse of yourself
and you're like--
Nice!
--who's that?
[laughter]
What's he doing in here?
And why is he looking at me like that?
[laughter]
I'm not going to say no.
Well, people, Next Goal Wins is in the theaters now.
Everywhere on November the 17th.
