Superbad turned ten years old yesterday, and to help all us McLovin-lovers celebrate the occasion, Seth Rogen answered a bunch of questions on Twitter.
The one question that we always wanted to know was asked and answered pretty swiftly. One Twitter user asked Seth whether they were ever sober on set, to which Seth replied:
No

Somehow I have a feeling that it wasn’t only alcohol that they were getting wasted on.
Seth actually sent out a fair few tweets with trivia about the film for all its super fans.
It’s testament to how good this film is that ten years on, audiences are still interested in learning more about the processes that went into its production.

Seth signed off with this message:
Anyway, if you dig Superbad, thanks for digging it. I wrote it with my best friend in high school and we still write together. It’s lovely.
What a fucking chill guy. Not all of the tweets were quite as sentimental, and some were actually quite revealing.
For example, did you know that Seth’s mum came up with the joke about McLovin being arrested for statutory rape at the end of the film?
My mother came up with the joke that Mclovin gets arrested for statutory rape at the end of Superbad.

Well, it happened.
It seems like it was a proper family affair on this set, as Seth’s mum wasn’t the only relative involved in the process.
The vital job of dick drawing went to…
Evan Goldberg's brother Dave drew all the dick drawings in Superbad.

THE most iconic dick drawings in the history of cinema?
Seth’s series of tweets are full of little nuggets that just make you want to watch the film for the 500th time so we’re just going to leave these here for you to read over before you watch it this weekend. Enjoy!

Almost all the names in Superbad are people we went to high school with and lots of the stuff in the movie really happened to us.

The period blood on the leg scene in Superbad actually happened to my friend at a high school dance and we discovered it after the dance.

Just like in Superbad, Mike Snider actually was the first guy to get a fake ID and it was awesome.

The end house party in Superbad was filmed about half a block from the OJ murder house.

The cast of Jersey Shore confirmed to me that the phrase "D.T.F" or "Down To Fuck" is from Superbad.
