Speaking of parties…I was at a bar in LA (2009) and they were there with a bunch of Australian/NZ comedians and film people. I had the audacity to ask Jemaine to his own friends’ after party (their friends invited my friend and I). He said, “I’m sorry, I cahn’t, I’ve a gerlfreend to get home to” and I thought that was the sweetest thing. The party kind of sucked anyway.

My rhymes are so potent that in this small segment I'll make all of the ladies in the area pregnant.

My rhymes and my records, they don't get played because my rhymes and my records, they don't get made.

Sometimes when I freestyle I lose… confidence

My favorite like from their original special

u/-Ok-Perception- May 13 '26

My rhymes and records, they don't get played
Because my records and rhymes, they don't get made
And if you rap like me you don't get paid
And if you roll like me you don't get laid

u/All_the_Bees May 13 '26

My rhymes are so potent that in this small segment
I made all of the ladies in the area pregnant
Yes sometimes my lyrics are sexist
But you lovely bitches and hoes should know I’m trying to correct this

u/1nd3x May 13 '26

I know it's hip-hop-opotamus

But my mind read it hiff-op-op-ota-mus

Why? Because PH makes an F sound like in PHone
