- Would you rather get McLovin tattooed
on your forehead or on your penis?
- Oh, god.
(Josh laughs)
(lively rock music)
- Hey, guys, welcome to "Stir Crazy."
You know my guest today from "Superbad,"
"How to Train Your Dragon,"
and the Comedy Central series "Blark and Son."
He's even got a hyphen in his name.
It's Christopher Mintz-Plasse.
- Am I the first person on the show
with a hyphen in their last name?
- You know what, it took a while, but we got there.
This was the goal of the show.
Congratulations on the show "Blark and Son."
- Thanks, man.
- I am a new, I'm a Blarky, I'm a Blarkhead.
What do we call ourselves, the fans?
Is there a name for this group?
- A Blarkhead is great, a Blarklord, yeah, Blarkies,
all perfect. - Blarklord.
The puppets are kinda hypnotic.
We're not talking Mister Rogers puppets here.
- They're nightmare fuel.
You're being very polite.
They are terrifying to look at,
but I think, once you get past the initial,
like, what am I looking at?
You kinda, like, empathize,
and get to know these characters, and love them,
but they are terrifying, and they don't blink,
so maybe we'll add some eyelids for the next season.
- It's like, I'm not even sure
what is disturbing me here.
I feel like Blark is-
- He's got a Mel Gibson vibe, doesn't he?
- It does, it looks like if, like,
a witch put a curse on Mel Gibson.
- Yeah, and he just did cocaine
for, like, two weeks straight
with no sleeping, and just, the skin is dehydrated.
- Right, right.
- So sunburn.
- If Mel ever did that, 'cause he would never do that.
- Yeah, exactly, he's a saint, he's a saint.
(Josh laughs)
- And then Son, I mean, it's a little Chernobyl-y.
It's a little Chernobyl heady.
Like, what happened to Son?
- Kinda looks like me
if I got radiation at Chernobyl, for sure.
Like, that's kind of why,
he, like, kinda looks like me,
which is, I'm kinda pissed about that.
- So, Son, we can take it off the screen
'cause I don't want a curse put on me.
Yes, thank you.
(Christopher laughs)
A little goes a long way.
Let's play a classy game
of fuck, marry, kill with famous puppets.
You ready?
- Whew.
(lively rock music)
- Let's do Grogu, A.K.A. Baby Yoda,
Elmo, and Alf.
Who do you wanna have relations with,
who do you wanna marry, who do you wanna murder?
- All right, well, Baby Yoda's a baby.
I'm getting red, so I'm not fucking Baby Yoda.
- For the record, okay.
- Trying to cancel me right now, I get it.
- No.
- I know what you wanna do.
- You might've already done that yourself.
(Christopher laughs)
- I will marry Baby Yoda.
- Okay. - 'Cause he's adorable.
I'll fuck Alf.
You know Alf knows how to fuck.
- Okay, Alf you're gonna fuck.
- Alf I'm gonna have sex with.
(Josh laughs)
- You're not gonna fuck, you're gonna make love to Alf.
It's gonna be sweet, beautiful love.
- He's gonna make love to me.
That guy is suave.
He knows what he's doing.
I think he's a guy, I'm not quite sure.
- Hey, whatever works, doesn't matter.
- I was never an Elmo guy, so it's perfect.
We're fucking killing that, we're killing him.
- Yeah, you've been dreaming
of murdering Elmo for years.
- Yeah. - This is perfect.
(Josh laughs)
- He's out.
- So I would think, okay,
it's obviously been an insane past year for all of us.
One of the tiny, tiny, tiny upsides, maybe,
is that you've probably been called McLovin
a little bit less in your day-to-day life,
'cause you're seeing less people, fair to say?
- Definitely.
I have actually had that thought.
(Christopher laughs)
I was doing press for "Blark and Son,"
they're like, what's the one positive?
I'm like, I guess I haven't been called McLovin in a year.
I kinda miss it now.
My ego kinda needs it.
- Don't say that.
(Josh laughs)
- I've grown to appreciate it.
I saw you a lot in my early 20s
when I was, you know, "Superbad," "Role Models,"
"Kick-Ass," so I was getting it a lot then,
and, you know, I was young,
and I'm like, I'm an artist,
and I'm not just McLovin,
and I can do more, but now, you know,
I think it's a sense of endearment.
Like, it's cool that, if I were to walk outside,
and someone said it, it's cool that they remember it
14 years later, and still wanna talk about it.
- Who has the fake ID?
Is it in the Smithsonian?
Is it somewhere?
- Maybe it deserves to be.
I don't have it.
I think, man, I'd love to ask Seth or Evan,
if one of them took it,
but, you know, I don't think anybody knew
how memorable that thing was gonna be,
so, like, it could've just been sent back with the props.
I never, ever found out what happened to it.
- Do you know how easy they are to come by?
Literally, I got, like, dozens of these.
- How?
- They're, like, 40 cents each.
You can get a bulk package of 50
for, like, $6.
- Did you get that for this interview?
Or did you already have them?
- I'm not that crazy.
I mean, come on.
(Josh laughs)
We bought them, but yeah, go on Amazon,
they're just there.
- Wow, that's wild,
and I am making nothing off it.
(Josh laughs)
- I'll send you five bucks.
Son is not your voice exactly.
How would you describe the voice that you do for Son?
- I have to, like, yodel every time I start doing a session.
I have to go, like, ah.
Okay, all right, I'm there, I'm in, let's go.
Like, I have to get myself,
it starts at the chin,
but it's super fun.
- You've done a lot of voiceover work in recent years.
You had a very successful, like, career
in these animated projects,
but I wanna expand your range even further.
We have some potential characters for you.
This is gonna be your voiceover audition mixtape.
(lively rock music)
Let's take a look at the interpretation
of a character we call Baby Dom.
Take a look.
- I fill my diaper a quarter mile at a time.
Nothing else matters, not my nap time,
not my binky, not my mommy and her bullshit.
While I'm making a boom boom, I am free.
(Josh laughs)
- Amazing, sold.
Next one we are calling Prickly Pete.
He's a gassy cactus with a heart of gold.
- Yes, okay, so I have a scene for this,
and if you don't mind, Josh,
when I point at you, can you make fart noises?
- That's my default, perfect, yeah.
- Yee-haw, this here's the sharpest varmint in the west,
Prickly Pete, and if you're fixin'
to hear some tall tales from the American frontier,
then pull up a boulder, and.
(Josh imitates farts)
Oh, god, I'm so sorry.
That was really rude of me.
I'm just gonna go back to the top
and do that again.
(Christopher clears throat)
Prickly Pete's the name, and succulent tales
of the wild west history are my game.
(Josh imitates fart)
Oh, god.
I just shit my pants.
(Josh imitates fart)
That's it.
(both laugh)
You gotta end the scene on shitting your pants,
and then we're good.
- This is Son of Bane.
This is a crossover between "Blark and Son"
and Bane, of course, Son of Bane.
- Dad, Dad, I don't wanna hear again
how you broke the Batman.
And for the record, I know you love telling me,
aw, nobody cared who I was
before I put on the mask,
but trust me, Dad, nobody gives a wet, squeaky fart
who you are now either.
And that's that.
(Josh claps)
- No one has put in this much effort into the show,
not me, not the writers, not the producers.
You are the new soul of "Stir Crazy."
You're hired. - Gosh,
everything is an audition,
everything's an audition.
You gotta bring your A game to everything, you know?
- I don't know if you caught this,
there was a bit of a "Kick-Ass" reference
in a recent "WandaVision" episode.
- I did see that.
- So, does this mean that Red Mist is part of the MCU?
Are you, like, kind of a?
- I would kill, would kill for that.
That's where you make the money, man.
Not the McLovin ID.
You get in the MCU universe, you're good.
No word yet, no word yet,
still waiting on the call.
- I've got some would you rather questions.
Will you indulge me?
You ready?
- Yes, of course.
(lively rock music)
- Would you rather have Blark as your dad
or Son as your son?
- I'm not ready to be a father yet.
I'll go Blark as my dad.
I do not want the responsibilities of a kid.
I like my life.
- Fair enough.
Would you rather only use Blark as an expletive,
or only be able to speak like a pirate?
- Oh my god, pirate, pirate.
- You need your potty mouth?
- I mean, I've probably dropped the F bomb
40 times in this interview already.
- It's true. - Apologies.
Yeah, it is.
- Okay, I'm growing up right here.
Would you rather train a dragon
or wear your Red Mist costume for the rest of your life?
- Oh my god, I guess the Red Mist costume
because I'm gonna die if I try to train a dragon.
- Yeah, odds are, right? - I'm done.
These are miserable.
These are miserable would you rathers.
- That's the whole idea.
You think that was miserable,
get ready for this.
Would you rather get McLovin tattooed
on your forehead or on your penis?
- Oh, god.
(Josh laughs)
Whoever saw my penis would think
I'm the most self-centered, egotistical,
full of himself guy in the world.
If I was like, hey, baby,
it's the thing I'm known for my whole life on my dick.
- In case you didn't know, check it out.
(Josh laughs)
- Oh, man.
I guess I would do that one, right?
I guess I would do that one
because, having it on my forehead,
everybody and their mothers would see it
for the rest of my life.
I guess I'm tattooing my dick.
- Yeah, yeah, well,
it adds to the tattoos that are already there.
It's perfect.
You've got it all.
- Oh my body, or already on my dick?
- No, on the penis, on the penis.
We know it's all covered, yeah, yeah.
We ask this question of every guest.
Dakota Johnson proposed it to me on a previous episode.
Would you rather have a mouthful of bees,
or one bee in your butt?
- Fuck.
- Yeah.
- One bee in your butt, one bee in your butt.
I do a lot of glute workouts, you know?
Just, like, tighten it, and crush him in there,
kill that motherfucker.
- Wow, aggression.
- I know.
- Bring this up with your therapist next time you see him.
- That's you, man, you're my therapist now.
This is gonna be a weekly thing.
- Oh my god, any time, buddy.
Christopher, congratulations on the new season
of "Blark and Son."
Thank you for the nightmare fuel.
I'm gonna try to get to bed tonight,
but no promises, I don't know.
- Thank you, man.
It's great to see you.
It's great to see you. - It's good to see you.
I've gotta get to the bar.
I got my fake ID, woo.
- I'm never talking to you again.
