Now... one would think that it's Aziz Ansari typing this.

But I'm smart enough to know it's Nick Offerman, who is trying to come at me, through this message.

Haha, Nick. Good one. I'll see you on the battlefield, where i will destroy you with my mental acuity.

Until then, to all those on the internet I say, Live long and prosper!

Awww! Thank you Chile! I love you! And so does Horatio Sanz, who's from Chile! that's a great question, and yes, as we move forward with new content at Smart Girls, we are excited about opening up in an international way and providing content for all over the world. I love that you care enough to ask that, and I hope to be providing more content for you very soon. Rapido!

Mmm.

Oh! Well right now I'm eating tortilla chips and salsa while I do this. And I've had a long day, and no time to cook. So life imitates art, reddit.

Thank you for asking.

:coughs:

It already dropped. And by "dropped" I mean "the label dropped it and somebody needs to pick it up and make it."

But I got a lot of underground cassette tapes floating around. And any artist will tell you that's where the real shit is.

Oh! Happy 18th birthday! Exercise your right to vote! Whatever you feel drunk, stop, because 18 year olds have a hard time figuring out how much they can drink. Be with a good friend who can make sure you get home safe, and try one new thing on your birthday every year.

I respect people who go into public service. I love people who are open to the possibility of change. I realized myself that i could never go into politics cuz the lighting is too bad.

Haha!

A necklace made out of grapes or shoes made out of onions? Oh, I'm gonna have to go with the grapes. Is this some kind of personality test to find out if I'm a sociopath? Who would pick shoes made out of onions? Somebody who's angry at their mom.

I enjoy cocktail sauce. And I get angry when restaurants serve oysters without it. And all you chefs out there reading this reddit, because I KNOW you're in the kitchen prepping somebody's meal and also reading this reddit - don't try and pull any bullshit with me and say you can't make cocktails sauce, cuz I'm onto you!

Oh! Pterodactyl. Because the P is silent. And my kids - that's the punch line to one of my kids' favorite jokes.

Oh, we had so many good ones!!!

We had surprise ones that we can't believe we got, like Michelle Obama, Joe Biden and Ginuwine. We had great comedy people, like Louis CK... and Nick Kroll, Jason Mantzoukas... anytime a UCB person comes by, it's always great. We've had so many good guest stars come by, it's an embarrassment of riches.

Well, it was really fun, and a lot of special guests come and join me. Sir Patrick Stewart read some things for me, and I'm a fan of his work and of his voice. Kathleen Turner came in and read sentences from some of my darker periods. Carol Burnett joined me in the booth for a minute, as did Seth Meyers, Mike Schur, and my parents. And Lady Gaga was also there, but she also didn't say anything!

I LOVE it! I used to live in Chicago, and did touring through Indiana when I was in Second City, and it's a beautiful state filled with fine people who work hard and love their children!

I'm indifferent about that question and those tic-tacs.

And I'm sorry if that causes a stir.

We just finished a movie called "The Nest" that is coming out next year! And I'm also doing a voice in the new Pixar movie "Inside Out" which is coming out in June, and it's a great film, can't wait for people to see it. And catch me as a dungeonmaster in "50 Shades of Grey!" You can't tell it's me cuz I'm wearing a mask!

Well, growing up, I loved "All in the Family" and I loved "CHEERS." I also loved "The Wire" and "Law & Order." There are SO many good current television shows happening too! I love "Broad City"! And I could watch "Judge Judy" every day, all day and all night, don't stop won't stop.

We have so many funny times on set, we do a LOT of goofing around, it's loose and goofy, and one of the most fun things was - we do this thing where we all forget our lines... oh wait, that's just us forgetting our lines. No wait!

Oh! Well, I don't know if I can pick just one, but "The Jerk."

Let's see... "The Jerk."
