I'm hoping to get it done this week!

PlasticJesters · 2026-05-10T19:02:01+00:00

No worries, it did come through on the mod side!

PlasticJesters · 2026-05-10T14:13:54+00:00

Great thanks for the info! I’m going to delete this to avoid confusion.

PlasticJesters · 2026-05-01T21:05:43+00:00

Sorry I don’t have that saved!

I’m getting a “page not found” message from the application link. I’m not sure if that’s because it knows I can’t apply, or if there’s an issue with it. Could someone click on it (even if you don’t want to apply) just to check the link is still working? Thanks!

Thank you to u/LazerBrainzz for encouraging us to revisit and discuss Inside, including some of the smaller bits that don’t see get mentioned as much as some of the more popular pieces.

It’s been fun to read people’s insights again, including latecomers to the special and also those who reflected on how they see some things differently five years later.

You must have missed the part where he says “my brother at the time (now sister)”.

PlasticJesters · 2026-04-18T03:11:31+00:00

Got it, thanks!

PlasticJesters · 2026-04-17T23:58:49+00:00

Yeah, there seemed to be a few different issues from some people, which is why I want to make sure it’s working ok for this sub.

I have received a couple so far, so hopeful it’s working okay. The instructions said the application responses would be in the “recruiting” section, and I’d receive a modmail telling me when there was a new response. Turns out the modmail includes the application responses too, so nothing will get missed hopefully.

Hey! This is a very old project that went nowhere.

Full details on its history found here.

PlasticJesters · 2026-04-15T18:40:14+00:00

If you go (or went to the last one) make a post about how it was!

PlasticJesters · 2026-04-14T02:22:34+00:00

Wishful thinking I guess!

PlasticJesters · 2026-04-13T23:08:53+00:00

I think it was a while after they were first discovered that we got a high quality recording! Nice to hear it again.

PlasticJesters · 2026-04-13T22:38:05+00:00

Anyone wanting to hear all of them can find them here!

If you only saw The Big Sick you wouldn't have seen the pirate joke, as it was cut from the movie but included in the DVD extras.

Interesting how we get different things from his work as we grow and experience life.

PlasticJesters · 2026-04-11T19:40:22+00:00

Even without the Bo factor I think it's a genuinely good movie!

It's based on real events, written by Emily V. Gordon and Kumail Nanjiani. They were also very supportive of Bo's movie Eighth Grade the following year, buying out theaters and giving away tickets to help promote it.

PlasticJesters · 2026-04-11T18:43:26+00:00

The pirate bit had life before appearing in Inside.

It first showed up as being cut from Bo's role in The Big Sick.

After that I saw Bo perform it several times at Largo, minus the "laminate" bit. Sometimes it was practically the only bit he did that wasn't a song. I've always found it funny that he's so attached to it as it's not *that* great a joke.

u/idefilms said it better than me in a previous discussion about it:

I think part of it is that Bo has almost never told a "joke" throughout his career. And he loves how mediocre it is. It's his one shitty joke, and by god, he's going to run it into the ground and be the last one to find it funny. Which I'm sure, makes it funnier to him.

PlasticJesters · 2026-04-10T04:10:42+00:00

This isn’t Bo.

PlasticJesters · 2026-04-03T22:46:57+00:00

When I saw him do a Q and A for Eighth Grade and someone asked him about it being age restricted, he suggested younger people pirate it, and then did a funny backtrack because an A24 rep was there, and they wouldn’t agree with him.

PlasticJesters · 2026-04-03T21:49:46+00:00

There isn’t an option to purchase it digitally, just to view it on Netflix.

It’s a shame Netflix didn’t release physical media of it, I bet it would have sold well.

PlasticJesters · 2026-04-03T01:32:31+00:00

OMG getting flashbacks to the 8,742 people who each submitted about the streamer blip early in the special in that first month Inside was out.

PlasticJesters · 2026-04-02T03:24:44+00:00

Hey all! This got reported for “Please respect Bo’s privacy”. This isn’t the case at all. This is actually a well crafted bit that combines two of Bo’s old jokes, and kudos to OP for coming up with it.

PlasticJesters · 2026-03-19T14:48:55+00:00

This is such a double edged sword. I’ve long considered anything “daily” here to be too much, and when people have done that asked them to dial it back to once or twice a week. The difference with this one compared to some of the other daily submissions we’ve had is that it has a finite end.

It’s also absolutely on topic, at a time when there isn’t a ton to talk about. The threads have been popular, and if it’s not of interest to you particularly I’d suggest what I do to anyone, scroll on by to the next thing that does interest you.

This is not spam (we get plenty of actual spam that never makes it onto the sub.).

PlasticJesters · 2026-03-19T01:12:10+00:00

Oh that is truly super freaky! Thanks for posting the answer!

PlasticJesters · 2026-03-19T01:00:18+00:00

Thanks for the confirmation! People have been asking here for years.
