  • Yeah, can you pass me that towel over there?

  • No no no, here.

  • Thanks.

  • Got some blood on the counter, too.

  • Oh no, don't worry, here.

  • Okay.

  • Shoot! Spill the pepper.

  • Do you mind handing me that trash can over there?

  • Where do you keep getting those shirts from...

  • Look! I don't know how you're doing that shirt magic but the bleeding is not stopping.

  • So can you just call an ambulance or something?

  • Oh yeah, sure!

  • You don't need to take your shirt off. Just to call the...

  • Hi yeah, you guys have any more shirts?

  • I'm running low.

  • She's silly, she's clumsy.

  • She puts her pants on one leg at a time, just like everybody else after they take nudes.

  • too far? - you're okay.

  • Hey Jenn, do you think you can put that fork down?

  • Why? Were you calling me fat?

  • What does it even matter how much I weigh?

  • I don't want little girls watching this and see Katniss as this anorexic supermodel character.

  • You don't have to be that skinny and beautiful.

  • Just to be a really strong, independent woman.

  • Okay, that's fine.

  • But this is Hunger Games. You supposed to be starving in the scene, not eating.

  • Oh my god. I'm so embarrassed.

  • I'm so sorry guys. I am only human after all.

  • It's okay.

  • Here, I'll go put this over here.

  • (Matthew McConaughey)

  • All you have to do is to talk like you're in very deep thought all the time.

  • so that everything you say, even if it doesn't make sense, sounds like it's very deep and dramatic.

  • Sometimes you gotta go back to actually move forward.

  • I don't mean that like some fancy metaphor. I mean literally.

  • When you crash into one of those big old green tube things in Mario Kart, gotta press B and reverse a little.

  • And then you can keep going.

  • Even though I know all that, still have so many unanswered questions, like

  • Did they name the tree after the palm,

  • Or the palm after the tree? Did Delilah ever tell that guy what it was like in New York City?

  • Of course the greatest question of all

  • What is the meaning of life?

  • Cereal.

  • And now I'm asking you one last time, Mr. Cruz.

  • What is in your wallet?

  • What?

  • You got a hear problem, Mr. Cruz?

  • I said what is in your wallet!

  • I don't know. Cash?

  • Well guess, Mr. Cruz. That's a hundred more pushups.

  • I got pictures?

  • Let's make that a thousand.

  • Some gum?

  • Ten thousand pushups, Mr. Cruz.

  • Cards! I have credit cards.

  • Okay, what kind of card is that?

  • It ain't that hard, Mr. Cruz.

  • I..I..

  • What kind of card do you have, Mr. Cruz? What is in your wallet?

  • Visa?

  • Get your way as back on the ground and give me a hundred thousand!

  • A hundred thousand with Capital One!

  • Capital One, the xxxx in your own wallet!

  • (Leonardo DiCaprio)

  • Acting like Leonardo DiCaprio is really difficult because of all the different characters he plays.

  • However, there's one similar role that he plays every single year.

  • And in order to act like that, all you have to do is to start nodding your head, press your lips together and begin clapping.

  • And the Oscar for the Best Actor goes to Matthew McConaughey.

  • (Every Horror Movie)

  • Normally when you're scared of or frightened of something, you move really quickly.

  • But every horror movie actor knows that it's the complete opposite of what you wanna do.

  • In order to act like a horror movie actor, all you have to do is to move in slow motion when something frightens you.

  • It's just you, Marley.

  • It's just shoes

  • Oh my god, I'm just gonna go kill someone else already.

  • You're so damn slow! God!

  • (Every drama movie actor)

  • Every drama movie actor knows that if you wanna look really sad, look out a window.

  • (Every sci-fi movie actor)

  • You don't actually have to know anything for this one.

  • You don't even need to know your lines.

  • Just come up with the combination of the scariest and the most dangerous things you can think of.

  • And then have an editor put it in for you with really good effects.

  • So you're saying that the machine fell in mount volcano, and it's gonna erupt at any second?

  • Yes. I'm afraid this time it's not just gonna be molten lava erupting.

  • What else is there?

  • Lasers

  • Laser Volcano only on sci-fi.

  • So you're saying all the animals...they've been sucked into the sky?

  • Yes. And I'm afraid this time when storm hits, it's not just gonna be rain.

  • What do you mean?

  • It's literally gonna rain....cats and dogs.

  • The Reign of Cats and Dogs only on sci-fi.

  • So you're saying a tornado that's forming in the ocean is heading towards us?

  • Yes. I'm afraid this tornado is so big that it's gonna suck up man-eating sharks.

  • It's not gonna just be a normal tornado.

  • It's gonna be.... a "sharknado".

  • Wait, if a tornado is forming in the ocean, isn't that just a hurricane?

  • No I mean, tornadoes can form over water too, right?

  • Not sure. I know hurricanes do.

  • Then should we just call it "Shark Hurricane"?

  • Yeah, but that doesn't sound as good as Sharknado.

  • Yah, but I mean just to be safe.

  • I think we're thinking too much into this.

  • Yah, this is the sci-fi network.

  • We don't have to know real science for this, right?

  • Sci-fi Network.

  • Our science may not be accurate but at least we have good effects.

  • So I know what you're thinking.

  • That was nothing like how those actors act.

  • In fact, that wasn't even good acting.

  • That's because you used to see these people in movies.

  • And if we would put all these stuff you just saw in the form of a movie, see how perfect the acting actually was.

  • Sometimes you gotta go back to actually move forward.

  • Even though I know all that, still have so many unanswered questions.

  • What does it even matter?

  • I don't know, okay? Why don't you ask the monkey over here?

  • What?

  • You got a hear problem, Mr. Cruz?

  • Yes, coach.

  • Oh my god, it's terrible.

  • It's like a drug to me.

  • What do you mean?

  • It's like a drug to me.

  • What else is there?

  • shining, shimmering, splendid

  • Listen to me! You have to get out of here!

  • Get down!

  • Get your way back on the ground

  • Cuz life is still surreal.

  • Okay, yeah, that still sucks.

  • So thank you guys again so much for watching.
