9. Cop Improv - Superbad
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-Y3-7Iybwk&t=2m50s Superbad is a film that's already completely packed with hilarious banter, but Greg Mottola could have gone even further with it, indicated by these uproarious free-riffing moments that weren't included in the film, where Bill Hader and Seth Rogen, playing the film's hapless police officers, just let loose on McLovin with some drunken ramblings about "handskis" among other things. Hader's character also expands slightly on the assertion that his wife is, as he says in the film, "an actual whore", so there's obviously some crucial character development there that hardcore Superbad fans just wouldn't want to be without. We can understand why it was cut - it goes on a bit, and the film is already fairly long for a comedy - but it had us laughing uncontrollably, so we can't help but think it would have been worth making the film a few minutes longer for (if they could find a way to edit around all that out of character laughter).
