SERIOUS Delerium!
The next time you go out magazine shopping, or you find yourself near a newsstand with time to kill, be sure to check out the latest issue of Complex for a joint interview with Wu-Tang mastermind The RZA and all-around funny guy Seth Rogen. Complex‘s website offers a preview of the article, which is unfortunately short, but just long enough to compare Method Man’s “torture” skit from Enter The Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers to Seth and Paul Rudd’s “Know how I know you’re gay?” schtick from 40 Year Old Virgin.
Looking at it now, getting these guys together seems like a no-brainer. For those who watched 40 Year Old Virgin with a keen eye, you may have noticed Seth’s character “Cal” sporting a t-shirt with the cover to The GZA’s classic album Liquid Swords screened on the front, and if you’ve gotten around to seeing Knocked Up as well (which I suggest you do if you haven’t yet), then you surely recall what song was playing during the opening credits — something about liking things “raw” or something. Meanwhile, the Wu have often flexed their skills in the realm of comedic acting, with real-life cousins RZA and GZA proving to be quite the formidable tag-team. Below, check out their classic “Wu-Tang Financial” sketch from Chappelle’s Show, as well as their scene with Bill Murray in Coffee & Cigarettes.
