  • The first 32 minutes are called unassailable: everything during the day is rewatchable until they get in the car with the guy who hits Jonah Hill and the movie shifts to night.
  • The opening phone call is smart and well crafted; Michael finishes the call five feet away before getting in the car, classic best-friend stuff from the call-only era before texting.
  • The Vagtastic Voyage debuts here, with a co-host joked to be its patient-zero, platinum-club subscriber.
  • Planning which porn site to subscribe to once he gets to college, including the line about who directs the porn he watches, is singled out as funny.
  • The mom cameo and the tits/teeth exchange are called very high-schooly.
  • A favorite comedy mode, traced to Chevy Chase, is someone doing something inappropriate behind a person who does not know; Jonah's home ec monologue about never needing to make tiramisu is the example.
  • The dick-drawings confession goes all in; Evan Goldberg's brother drew hundreds of them, and the Ghostbusters lunchbox treasure chest is a classic.
  • The driver's license scene unleashing McLovin is so funny; it was also the screen-test scene on YouTube, and Jonah's anger ("between that and Muhammad") makes it.
  • A Ringer piece says Jonah was mad at Mintz-Plasse, who did not care and stepped on his lines.
  • Seth telling Evan he got invited to the party has the most great Jonah Hill lines in two minutes: calm down Greg it's soccer, iron chef of pounding vag, Seth's own dressing, DTF.
  • Worked-up Jonah is compared to Chris Farley's energy; he could have done 20 more years of it and does some in Funny People.
  • The whole liquor store sequence could go in; the Seth dream sequence buying vodka is proposed, and at the party Seth coins the verb "perioded."
  • A favorite Hader scene is his bar explanation of his marriage and group sex on the wedding night, guessed to be ad-libbed; McLovin getting cockblocked by the cops, the cops generally, and the ending are also praised.
  • The Coke party with Kevin Corrigan's brother-from-Scottsdale speech is called the most rewatchable scene, better than Boogie Nights, with Cera singing These Eyes compared to Damian Lillard in a fourth quarter.
  • After an invitation to Sean, the dream sequence is chosen for Jonah's line readings such as "That would be lovely."
  • The stretch of McLovin buying booze, the robbery, Michaels and Slater interviewing Mindy and McLovin, the Seth-Evan lube fight and Joe Lo Truglio hitting Seth is called a favorite 15-minute stint.
  • The following party scene captures the high school feeling of being somewhere with older kids where you are not supposed to be.
  • Agreement on the 15-minute stretch, adding the breast-reduction and "warlocks" riff and the plan to go down on her for several hours.
