Dan Harmon’s Harmontown Tour came to Brooklyn last night, and to appease the DIRTY HIPSTERS who attended, which would have included me if I had finished my handmade odd-like-me 5,085 piece Maude puzzle in time, the Community creator had something special in store. Jason Sudeikis was there, without Olivia Wilde, but invited guest Chevy Chase was a no-show. He and Sudeikis needed to know why, so they called Chase up mid-show.
Harmon recounted Chase’s confusing response to Harmon’s invite. “I texted him, ‘I’m doing my show in Brooklyn tomorrow night; are you in New York?’ and three hours later, he texted back the word country.”
The group then tried to figure out what this could mean. Asked Sudeikis, “How did he spell it? Was it two words or one word? Was he calling you a name?” (Via)
Obviously, Chase was saying he was “in the country,” but didn’t feel like typing two extra words. Harmon pressed on.
To solve the mystery, Harmon dialed Chevy on speakerphone and put his mike to it. Alas, the call went to voice mail. As Chase’s voice played, Harmon urged Sudeikis to leave a message as Vice-President Joe Biden, one of his staple SNL impressions. “Hey, Chevy, it’s Joe Biden,” said Sudeikis. “I just want to say we thank you for being a great patriot, and have fun in the country. We hope the country you always want to go back to is America.”
Harmon hung up and conceded, “It’s a pretty low-stakes prank. We’re not exactly the Jerky Boys.” They then parsed the many flaws in this punking. One, as Sudeikis pointed out, he actually sounds nothing like Joe Biden. And two, Chase’s phone clearly identified Harmon as the caller. Or, as Harmon pointed out, he may be listed in Chase’s contacts as “Fat, drunk asshole.” (Via)
One of these days, Chase is going to snap (again), and get his revenge on Harmon. It won’t be pretty. He seems like the kind of guy who knows how to play sick mind games, like becoming friendly with Bill Murray again just so he can convince him to call Harmon and tell him that “I’ve always hated Community and think you’re a reeking heap of barbershop hair held together with bourbon and misery,” or maybe just burn down Harmon’s house.
Either one, really.
Dan Harmon never wanted to meet Bill Murray. He only wanted a picture. You can’t disappoint a picture.
*sobbing*…when there’s something strange…in the…neighborhood…*Bursts out crying*
Set containment unit to love me! *sobbing*
Dan Harmon has a REALLY punchable face.
agreed
Not as much as Sudekis’s, though. No matter what role he is in (be it Hall Pass or Horrible Bosses, which are all his roles, right?), I always kind of feel like his character is supposed to be a lot more cool and likeable than they end up being.
Maybe it just takes forever for Chevy to send a text, so he has to shorthand everything.
You know, because he’s old.
Chevy Chase probably forgot who Dan Harmon even was, your memory tends to go at that age.
There’s No Country for Old Chase
Excuse me for a moment as I temporarily abandon the term “lurker”.
A couple quick photos and notes I took at last night’s show: [tinahenry.tumblr.com]
He can barely send a text, he’ll never hear that voicemail.
Just a whole lot of scratching at the face of his phone, followed by a grumble and a nap.
He was in the country… filming Funny Farm 2.
We can only dream…
Where is the sign up sheet for tickets?
Funny Farm 2: Yellow Dog’s Tale (harf harf harf)
Country must be where goes to film all those Old Navy commercials. He’s streets ahead of the game.
Aren’t harmon and his ex show dirty hipsters?
Don’t fuck with Chevy. He’ll crash through Harmontown like Godzilla.
I wouldn’t piss on Joe Biden if he was on fire.
I would spray lighter fluid on Chevy Chase and toss him on top of flaming Joe.
Both should be in the Asshole HOF.
