00:00What do you mean do the Simpsons count?

00:01I mean literally.

00:02Yes!

00:02It's wrong.

00:03They're a classic sitcom.

00:04What?

00:05No, I'm just kidding.

00:06God.

00:07Not if I'm on a sitcom.

00:09That's true.

00:09The other day, we were doing a scene,

00:11and they came and put food in place.

00:13I was eating.

00:14They said to Tracy,

00:15Tracy, don't eat in this take.

00:16And Tracy said, I might eat.

00:17It was gone.

00:19We were also shooting the other day.

00:21We were all sitting there.

00:22It was a break.

00:22We were in complete silence.

00:24And Tracy said, I think we should mess around

00:26and have a lasagna off next week.

00:28Yes.

00:30And I agree.

00:31You were precious.

00:32Yeah, you were precious.

00:33You were precious.

00:34You know why?

00:35He's that actor.

00:36He shows up and delivers.

00:37He eats through every scene.

00:39And also asks for a baggie for home.

00:42I actually happened to have played that character

00:45who barges in without knocking.

00:47The Max character on Living Single always never knocked.

00:49It's a great place to be,

00:51because that means that you're invited to eat,

00:53and you don't have to pay no mortgage or rent.

00:55And also a true crime figure and some string theory.

00:58Are you telling us on camera

00:59that you've murdered someone?

01:00No.

01:01In a different dimension.

01:02In a different dimension, myself

01:03has probably murdered somebody.

01:04Oh.

01:05Tracy in a different dimension is God knows what.

01:08I got murdered.

01:08I feel like a good Nickelodeon door slam.

01:11I like a nice, like, teen kid getting mad

01:14and slamming a door in a sitcom.

01:15We don't do a lot of door slamming in ours.

01:17Not on my house.

01:18You got beatin' in my house.

01:20You slam the door in my house.

01:21Right?

01:21You don't slam those doors around my house.

01:23Punish.

01:23You were on The Cosby Show.

01:25They didn't slam a lot of doors on The Cosby Show.

01:26They didn't slam no doors.

01:27No.

01:28I don't think any doors got slammed on The Cosby Show.

01:30No.

01:31No.

01:31Absolutely not.

01:32I disagree.

01:33Doesn't that mean you make a great deal of money

01:34for your pretend family?

01:35What did the Brady Bunch dad do?

01:36He was an architect.

01:37The living room was gigantic.

01:38Come on.

01:39The Cosby Show, he was a doctor.

01:41But they had a small living room.

01:42Was this regular?

01:43The Simpsons had a normal-sized living room,

01:44and Homer somehow worked at a nuclear power plant.

01:47Yeah, but it's not like a high-powered job, I feel like.

01:50What do you mean did the Simpsons count?

01:51Yes!

01:52They're drawn.

01:53Classic sitcom family.

01:54What?

01:55No, I'm just kidding.

01:56God.

01:57The Cosby's had a nice living room.

01:58They had that staircase.

01:59They all came down singing that song.

02:00I remember that episode.

02:01Yeah, it's pretty much, yeah.

02:02Who skips bloopers?

02:03I don't watch the bloopers.

02:04When you watch that movie Life,

02:06with Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence,

02:07and you look at the bloopers, it's funnier than the movie.

02:10Yeah.
