While Danny McBride couldn’t make yesterday’s 30 Minutes or Less panel at Comic-Con because he was busy filming Eastbound & Down, the actor did send a personalized video message. And not just the standard, “Sorry I couldn’t be there” business but a hilariously profane shout-out during which he ridiculed his cast and crew, praised his own performance and shocked the families sitting inside Hall H with some Kenny Powers-style language. Take a look at the transcript below.
“Hi, I’m Danny McBride. If you are viewing this, it mean the apes have won and mankind as we know it ceases to exist. No, that is not the case. This is just another one of those half-assed ‘I’m sorry I couldn’t be there videos’ from a celebrity with too much shit on their plate. Seriously, I wish I was there, hanging out with you guys in San Diego for this awesome panel for an even awesomer movie, 30 Minutes or Less, but I’ll have to leave that to the soft, overly Purell-ed hands of the gentleman you see before you [director Ruben Fleischer] and the cast of this kickass movie who, individually, are a bunch of selfish, super assholes who, even as I say this, are beyond pissed that I am getting all of your attention right now. You should know a little something about the film. It stars me and I’m pretty goddamn incredible in it. If you watch it, you will be hearing the phrase “McBride, Oscar caliber.” It’s about a regular guy who gets locked in a bomb vest and is forced to rob a bank or he and everything he loved will die. That’s how you tell a captivating story, Reuben. Face.”
