Name three things that are better than underpants.
Glazed doughnuts. I think that the World Health Organization is probably better. I don’t even know what they do, but I’m sure they’re more productive than underpants. And I would say that overpants are better than underpants.
If we made a movie about your life, but the only people you were allowed to cast would be former ’80S sit-com stars, who would play you, and who would play your love interest?
I would want Justine Bateman to play me, because I had a huge crush on her when she was on TV. So there’s something about her playing me that would be the ultimate contact. What a turn-on. And I don’t want a guy who plays me to have sex with her. There wouldn’t be a love interest. It would be like a dog or a monkey like in a Tom Hanks movie.
The New York Times just published a piece on “luxury dairy products” and the farms that produce them, which include a place in Seattle called the Pike Place Market Creamery that’s owned and operated by a woman named Nancy Nipples. Two–part question: what do you predict will be the next stupid food trend, and who will be the aptly named forerunner of that trend?
This is a tough one. Dairy is such a basic product that there might be a fetishist thing. Nipples are one of the only body parts that food comes out of. I’m going to say it’s going to be chocolate milk, and that it will be a guy named Malcolm P. Nipples III. I think it’s gonna stay “Nipples.”
What do you think Dennis Kucinich is doing right now?
Let’s see, it’s nine in the morning on the East Coast, he’s in Ohio. You know what? Same thing as everyone else is doing right now: jerking off to Internet porn. It’s the same thing he’d be doing as president, and the same thing the president is currently doing.

"I'm pasty, pale, overweight and I have red hair. I see that Coldstone Creamery and I want to crawl inside and hide," Louis C.K. responded when I asked if he recalled just how disgustingly hot and muggy Rhode Island could be during his 4th of July headlining set at the Newport Yachting Center.

Daryl, we don’t think your younger half-brother, Dane Cook, is funny, either. But hell, we show our displeasure by simply refusing to buy tickets to his Garden frat-fests. You, on the other hand — having also been Dane’s boss at Burger King before he got famous — went a tad further, embezzling millions from your polarizing, overshadowing little brah. As pathetic as this story is, we feel even sadder for Louis C.K., who has now technically been robbed twice.
