Did you know

• Lewis Black's character says the word "fuck" twice, but one was literally bleeped out in order to make the movie PG-13.

• A lot of the movie was improvised, and a lot of the gags were pitched by the actors on the day of shooting.

• As part of the promotion for the movie at the Comicon in San Diego, promoters threw a huge "Welcome" party open to the public, with barbecue, beer, skateboarding demos, and a wall where people could write "subjects" they'd like to study. Justin Long and other cast members mixed in with the crowd, to the point that you couldn't pick them out.
