Making Swears
HW: Unlike your last film together this one’s R rated.
McKay: We were just tired of doing the PG-13 jump-through-the-hoops kind of thing. We just wanted to speak freely.
Reilly: And make swears. We wanted to be able to make swears.
McKay: We decided it was R even before the nutsack came into play.
Reilly: It wasn't like we were deliberately trying to be R-rated. We just didn't want to have constraints. We know how creative it gets when you start improvising and coming up with ideas. We just wanted to feel like it could be anything we wanted it to be.
McKay: Whether it was nutsacks...
Ferrell: Or the word, "fuck.” A lot.
