Earlier tonight, the Broken Lizard celebrated Super Troopers 2‘s phenomenal fundraising success by live tweeting Super Troopers on Comedy Central. The film aired from 6:50 to 9 p.m. (ET), rendering half of the network’s audience ridiculously excited. The other half wondered if they’d smoked themselves back in time to 2001.

Here’s some of the best moments from the live tweet, which was meant to draw more attention to the group’s Indiegogo campaign. Steve Lemme immediately shared some trivia about the opening scene:

They didn’t deviate that much from the script, but when they did it was gold:
