Whenever I watch a great spoof comedy or parody movie, the often outrageous jokes leave me wondering: What kind of conversations did they have to have about that behind the scenes about this? Often, these scenes include wild lines and silly props, and I’m sure someone had to send an email or make a request about them. So, with that in mind, I asked "Fackham Hall’s" director, Jim O’Hanlon, about the wild conversations he had while making this "Downton Abbey"-inspired comedy. In response, he revealed a scene that caused hilarious NSFW discussions…at work.

While there are plenty of moments in "Fackham Hall" that must have required bizarre conversations behind-the-scenes, Jim O’Hanlon said the song featured at one of the dinner parties featured the wildest one. Recalling the moment in question, he spoke to CinemaBlend.

00:00As a director, what was the weirdest direction or, like, request you had to make when it came to, like,
00:06playing out one of these scenes?
00:08I think the trickiest one was Burt Chester's song, which is a very funny song written by David Arnold, who
00:15wrote The Bond, several of The Bond themes.
00:18And it parodies those scenes, you get in Downton Abbey, where the kind of the distinguished guest comes and plays
00:26a little bit on the piano and everyone sort of claps politely.
00:29And our song is very, very, very, it's quite rude, but in a fun way.
00:34And again, without giving too much away, there's a big reveal at the end.
00:38And that had to be thought about quite a lot, the reveal, how much we revealed, whether you would, and
00:43this may be giving away the territory we go into, whether you would pixelate the reveal or whether you would
00:47not pixelate the reveal.
00:50So that was a discussion on set that I didn't think I would be having as a grown adult.
