The Pub Crawl Five

By Dustin Rowles | Posted Under Comment Diversions | Comments (97)



ben-affleck-et-matt-damon.jpg

In honor of the news that Marty Scorsese is going to make a Frank Sinatra biopic, Spender’s evening comment diversion suggestion seemed appropriate. He writes:

Howzabout a list of those whom you’d most like to hang with on a good, old-fashioned pub crawl? Y’know, not a night out trying to score or be ultra-cool but a night of drinking, laughing and talking while hopping/walking/staggering from bar to bar over the course of an evening. I’ve already mentioned Hugh Laurie and Emma Thompson, but I’m curious as to who Pajibans might want to hang with for something like this.

By my way of thinking, you probably want a group of folks that can drink, are interesting, and would be fun to hang out with as a group, which is to say: It’d be nice if they already knew each other, which would save us from the awkward initial introductory moments. So, I’m going to go with a randomly connected five: Kevin Smith, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Rosario Dawson, and Alanis Morissette. I bet there’s a lot of scurrilous shit I could weasel out of them if they were drunk enough.

How about yourselves?

Dre and Snoop. Just think of it. We'd be rollin' down the street smokin endo, sippin' on gin and juice. And you just know if anyone fucked with you, it'd be like "rat-tat-tat-tat like that!"

God, I'm white.

Posted by: superasente at May 14, 2009 9:04 PM

Lenny, Squiggy, Laverne, Shirley and Carmine

Posted by: Jere at May 14, 2009 9:08 PM

1. The Rock
2. Taylor Kitsch
3. Pharrell
4. Justin Baldoni (google image search, you won't regret it)
5. Zachary Quinto and or Chris Pine depending on my mood or scheduling conflicts.

I figure if I go drinking with five hot guys I'd more than happily ride like a rented mule, I'm probably gonna get with at least one of them. I like those odds.

Robbie Williams
Philip Seymore Hoffmann
Natalie Portman
Lindsey Lohan
Amdy Samberg

Robbie & Lindsey for guaranteed craziness and boozing
Hoffmann & Samberg for witty banter and fun
Natalie - for the drunken snogging in the late hours

Posted by: John W at May 14, 2009 9:24 PM

These are actors I would like to be friends with: Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Natalie Portman, Andy Samberg, Casey Affleck.

Posted by: Ariel at May 14, 2009 9:29 PM

Donald Faison
Mos Def
Ron White
Bill Simmons
Paul Rudd

Faison because hes turk, Mos Def because I love anything he does ever, Ron White because I find him amusing and I know he substance abuses with the best of them, Bill Simmons because when I get drunk I talk sports, and Paul Rudd because I cling helplessly to the belief that he behaves in the same way in real life as he does in his movies.

Posted by: Braski at May 14, 2009 9:33 PM

If they all have to know each other/be connected:

1. Ian McShane
2. Timothy Olyphant
3. Molly Parker
4. Paula Malcolmson
5. David Milch

If they were a totally random all-star collection:

1. George Carlin
2. Thomas Pynchon
3. Kevin Smith
4. RZA
5. David Cross

Posted by: Benny at May 14, 2009 9:38 PM

This is way harder to narrow down than I thought it'd be.

Posted by: Benny at May 14, 2009 9:42 PM

Serenity's crew. Any combination of five would do, but Nathan Fillian would have to be one of them.

Posted by: Alexandra at May 14, 2009 9:43 PM

I'd totally pub crawl with Rachel Maddow.

Posted by: Kevin at May 14, 2009 9:50 PM

Ewan MacGregor - for motorcycle rides & can you say karaoke!?

Benicio Del Toro - cause you know he crazy and I'd have so much fun drunkenly try to sort out his 'Usual Suspects' schtick.

Brad Pitt - because he's fun and you wouldn't have to dress to impress too much (he's got the Jolie at home, no need to try hard, just hang around and tell honeybear bong stories and whatnot).

Maybe Jennifer Garner - I don't know why really as I'm not that interested in her, but we could talk mommying and she seems really nice and grounded and would probably hit the dance floor with you,

and Bill Murray so he could make fun of me all night while I fawn at him.

I'd also say Jeff Goldblum, but I'd jump his bones in a flat minute, so he's out. Don't want to be rude to the other guests...

Posted by: replica at May 14, 2009 9:51 PM

Clooney, Springsteen, Charles Barkley, Tiger Woods, and.....Bill Clinton.

Posted by: ed newman at May 14, 2009 9:55 PM

1. George Carlin
2. Marylin Monroe
3. Jimi Hendrix
4. Metallica, especially the reincarnated corpse of Cliff Burton
5. Every Single Cast Member of Monty Python

And of course...

6. Guess Whookie

Posted by: George at May 14, 2009 10:01 PM

Rufus Sewell, Stephen Fry, Ian McKellan, Eileen Atkins and Joanna Lumley. All in one of my favorite movies ever and an awesome combo of hotness, crazy funny and just plain crazy.

Posted by: Anne (in Reno) at May 14, 2009 10:11 PM

Tina Fey
Paul Rudd
Michael Palin (I'm reading his diaries and I bet he'd have some good Monty Python stories)
Colin Meloy (of the Decemberists)
Stephen Colbert

Posted by: Melissa at May 14, 2009 10:15 PM

Hmmm... celebrities that I think would qualify as 'fun' drunks...
Elizabeth Banks- she just seems cool as hell.
Amy Sedaris- I think she could handle her liquor. A major consideration, one does not want to end the night early due to weak livered compatriots.
Ewan MacGregor- previously mentioned karaoke skills. A must.
Nathan Fillion- Again, seems like a fun dude. Tells good stories.
Emma Thompson- Tells good stories, interesting person, can most likely hold her booze.

Posted by: battgirl at May 14, 2009 10:16 PM

William Shatner, James Spader, George Takei, Howard Stern and David Letterman.

Posted by: Cindy at May 14, 2009 10:24 PM

Mine would be:

Ricky Gervais- having a laugh, he would sing me songs like Marge despite my much less impressive hair.

David Cross- he would be really bitchy and easily irritated. Which is fun to exacerbate in folks.

Cat Power- Lived in bars, danced on tables, word.

Adam Richman- I want to watch him eat large foodstuffs and touch his wavy hair. I know. I'm inexplicable.

Sinead O'Connor- seriously. She's unstoppable and real.


Posted by: Stacy D at May 14, 2009 10:40 PM

Joss Whedon so I may enjoy the things he has done that has meant so much to me and to loathe and yell at him for the horrible things he has done.

Neil Patrick Harris. Because he may not be Barney Stinson...but damn he would be fun to hang out with. And the banter would be worth.

Robert Downey Junior. Because if I am going to party hard and make a night of it...I want Tony Fucking Stark hanging with me.

Kevin Smith. Because here is my Geek Badge...i need to say no more.

And Simon Pegg...because he would be fun as hell to hang with and when the Zombie outbreak starts, he can handle a mean cricket bat.

Geek night out....And the drink of choice would be Guiness..mmmmm...

Posted by: AdamX74 at May 14, 2009 10:40 PM

Paul Rudd, Steve Carrel, Kate Winslet, George Clooney, Dennis Leary. A completely motley crew, but I think it'd yield some seriously good times.

Posted by: Sapphiar at May 14, 2009 10:41 PM

Hey I wanted to say I finally saw the comment diversion I suggested (slapping myself on the forehead) and did comment. But it's about to fall off the front page, I just wanted to say thanks to everyone! Great suggestions and we haven't seen a lot of them!

Posted by: Snuggiepants the Deathbringer at May 14, 2009 10:41 PM

Ah, dag, Adam--that's a balls-out awesome list, too. Shit.

Posted by: Sapphiar at May 14, 2009 10:42 PM

Sports: Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Charles Barkley, Roger Federer, Magic Johnson

Comedy: Pryor, Carlin, Kinison, Dangerfield, and Gene Wilder...think of all the dead jokes.

Politics/Philosophy: Cornel West, Howard Zinn, William Appleman Williams, George Kennan, Henry Kissinger

Actors: Rickman, Russell Crowe, Denzel, Hanks, Kevin Bacon.

Music: David Gilmour, Neal Peart,Gary Moore, Eddie Van Halen, Peter Buck, Paul Westerberg and Derek W. Dick (Fish) I know it is 7 but I needed two singers and a drummer.

Posted by: richmac at May 14, 2009 10:42 PM

Oooo I like this one! Here's my five:

1. Ewan McGregor

2. Ardal O'Hanlon

3. Pauline McLynn

4. Johnny Lee Miller

5. Jennifer Saunders

Apparently I'm doing a British/Irish/Scottish thing.

Posted by: Snuggiepants the Deathbringer at May 14, 2009 10:46 PM

I've got a couple,

1.- The Montey Python crew. Could you funing imagine?

2.- Paul Rudd, Steve Carell John Stewart, Stephen Colbert and Ricky Gervais.

3. - The Eloquents, all of em', at the same time. Fuck Hollywood, if the apocolypse is going to come anyways, we might as well just do it ourselves.

4. - Nostrodamus, Godtopus, The Dark Lord, Hitler and Sigmund Freud. Oh the fuckery that would occur!

Posted by: admin at May 14, 2009 10:48 PM

Well I'd say Kevin Smith but I think real fanboys know he doesn't really drink. (Yes. This is my nerd gauntlet, I am throwing it down)
So I'm going to say
1. Jason Segel. We'll talk Muppets and Similar Nerd Speak.
2. Conan O'Brien. C'mon, do I need to explain it?
3. I'm agreeing with Battgirl and saying Nathan Fillion, the man is a theater nerd at heart and weirdly loves iPhone apps.
4. Ooooh Joss Whedon. I'm going for the wacky here. I think he'd fit nicely.
5. Paul Rudd. I just watched Role Models 3 times and I think he's the greatest.
Sadly, Craig Ferguson couldn't come since he doesn't do the drinky anymore. I'd hate to see the man relapse.
And I guess I couldn't come either, unless the bouncer is a fan of one of these folks.

Posted by: Optimus Rhyme at May 14, 2009 10:50 PM

Jonny Lee.....aaaahhhh NICE.

But how will you resist the burning lady urge to pet his lovely furry arms? He's two-legged ignition, I say! He would make me spill my purse with clumsies.

Posted by: Stacy D at May 14, 2009 10:52 PM

WEIRD...we were just having a very similar conversation at home...

My five to get drunk and stupid with:

1. Tina Fey
2. Ellen Degeneres
3. Kathy Griffin
4. Paul Rudd
5. Stacey London (from "What Not to Wear")

What?!? I like to laugh. And have sex with Paul Rudd.

Posted by: The Pink Hulk at May 14, 2009 11:13 PM

5a. Jesus (we'll never run out of wine)

Posted by: , (the commenter formerly known as bucdaddy) at May 15, 2009 12:08 AM

1 - Bill Simmons (with his buddies from the podcasts)
2 - Jon Hamm & NPH - both in suits but not in character
3 - Tina Fey
4 - Matt Damon & Clooney
5 - Dennis Leary because someone will need to get into fights

Dustin - hate to say it but Kevin Smith doesn't drink (so he has said in Smodcasts). Now if your pub crawl was in Amsterdam it would be a different story.

Posted by: Brian at May 15, 2009 12:09 AM

1. Albert Finney - He'll clean up after we're done being "cunty-covered lollipops".
2. James Franco - He seems like the most laid back dude ever.
3. Dave Eggers - If he speaks like he writes, we'll all get along just fine.
4. Bill Simmons - Blogger for ESPN.com. He once did a series of Vegas articles for god's sakes.
5. Steve Spencer - THE funniest person I have ever known. He is working as a screenwriter in Chicago and it will be a fucking travesty if the world is deprived of his wit. Just. Fucking. Brilliant.

5a. George Carlin - RIP. His spirit can hang around and lay down a beautiful rant whenever. My dad introduced me to Carlin at 9 years old. There my worship began.

Brian: *Casual Low Five*
Fucking Sports Guy.

Posted by: Kballs at May 15, 2009 12:13 AM

Good to see another Smodder, Brian. Nothing makes me crack up as consistently. I made the error of listening to part of one on the way to class and was stifling giggles the whole way there. And then I kept thinking about it in class and would make horrible noises in attempting to keep the laughter down. I think it was the Smod when they were talking about Hitler killing Santa Claus, but they did it in British accents and Scott had to bust out his "Guy from Survivor" Cockney Accent.
Gets me every time.

Posted by: Optimus Rhyme at May 15, 2009 12:28 AM

Oh, and apparent Megs does too if she included Scott Mosier. I love that dude.

Posted by: Optimus Rhyme at May 15, 2009 12:30 AM

Gah! Let to the party, as usual! And so many great suggestions so far, some of which I'm totally stealing.

Okay, aside from you magnificent motherfuckers:

1-Neil Gaiman: Because he's fucking Neil Gaiman
2-David Eggars: Because from what I've seen in interviews, he does talk like he writes, plus, he comes off as amazingly friendly and caring.
3-Nathan Fillion: He's a fellow Lit and Theater nerd, so we'd have endless things to talk about.
4-Jason Segel: Muppets. Musical Theater. And I bet he would not be shy about singing karaoke duets with me. Plus, if he's even half as sweet as he seems, I'm sure I'd love him madly.
5-Joss Whedon: Because unapologetic feminists are a rarity out here in Hollywood. (As a friend put it, "You'd think it was 1955 out there!") Also, because whenever I see him in interviews, he reminds me strongly of awesome guys I'm already close friends with, so I feel confident we'd get along swimmingly.

...So who's going to make this happen?
*folds arms, waits patiently*

Posted by: shinykate at May 15, 2009 12:40 AM

1. Paul Rudd (I would hope all night that he would bust out his awesome Daily Show white boy dance moves)
2. Jason Segel. He seems oh so down to earth and fun.
3. Lauren Graham
4. Meryl Streep (I always enjoy her on talk shows. Seems very witty and sincere)
5. Natalie Portman

Runners-up: Colin Firth, Cillian Murphy, Taylor Kitsch, Glen Hansard, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Zadie Smith....wow, I could just keep going

Posted by: ami at May 15, 2009 12:46 AM

Umm, don't watch the movie, ami.
shinykate,
Neil Gaiman? Nice choice, I guess. If you like talking to fantastic writers. Great storyteller. Great.
OK. Eggers and Gaiman will arm wrestle for my #3 spot.

Is this even a question? Sure we'd end up bloodied and under arrest, but Jack Bauer would be great to get shithoused drunk with. I need someone with rage problems and a long history of drunken shenanigans... other than myself. Where are the cannisters?!

We go to MacLarens and buy a comically large bottle of champagne and then compare and contrast our favorite bars by means of a pie chart.

Posted by: SadieRue at May 15, 2009 2:37 AM

I know I cheated by including You Know Whookie, but it was too awesome to resist, and I sort of missed the point of the rules.

Also, I've been wondering what it would be like if the spambots were real people, and what it would be like to pubcrawl with them.

Posted by: George at May 15, 2009 2:37 AM

Jon Stewart - He'd mock everyone around and I would pee myself laughing.
Paul Rudd - Funny and hot.
Janeane Garofalo - the Reality Bites version.
Rachel Maddow - Imagine her and Jon Stewart drunk together.
Chris Cornell - I don't care what he does all night, as long as I get to look at him.

Posted by: Soda at May 15, 2009 4:01 AM

Paul Rudd - I know someone who knows him and says he's really down to earth & awesome
Tina Fey - so she could make fun of other people at the bar
Anthony Bourdain - cause he's the fucking man
Matt Damon - seems like he knows how to have a good time and we could talk about our times growing up in Boston
Simon Pegg or Nick Frost - just 'cause they're hilarious

Ricky Gervais would be funny but embarrassing and he always comes across as someone that would cock-block you.

If they have to be related:

Tina Fey
Amy Poehler
Will Arnett
Will Ferrell
Danny McBride

Posted by: Mook at May 15, 2009 4:37 AM

*Disclaimer- requirements for pub include:
1. Excellent beer list
2. Quiet enough for conversation when appropriate
3. Smoking allowed if not downright encouraged
4. Awesome juke box including Nina Simone, Stevie Wonder, and Chet Baker for the early evening convo and pub quiz and Duran Duran, the Smiths, Michael Jackson, and New Order for inevitable late night drunk dancing.

Here's my list -

Lili Taylor
Tina Fey
Eddie Izzard
Rik Mayall
Stephen Fry

Me for teh win.

I have this annoying thing where I'd rather actually choose the fictional characters to go out and get drunk with than real people. Clearly, I'm doomed to a life of drinking at home with my cat...but seriously, who wouldn't want to go on a bender with Bernard Black?

Posted by: rach at May 15, 2009 9:20 AM

I like the fictional twist.

I'd go with characters from Cronenberg movies. Maybe then, I'd figure out what his brain must be like.

Ok, I've assemble the ultimate crew... My criteria were simple- they have to know how to party, be entertaining/interesting, and not be too handsome, so I stand out more to the ladies... because really, when does a man go out with no desire to get laid? Here we go:

1. Chris Farley
2. Steve Buscemi
3. John Belushi
4. Dean Martin (maybe too handsome, but worth it)
5. Danny McBride

Posted by: logar at May 15, 2009 10:08 AM

1) Gordon Ramsay - guaranteed to get into fights, plus he'll cook breakfast in the morning.
2) Leonardo DiCaprio - I feel like he'd be incredible when he's drunk. In many ways. I'll stop now.
3) Zachary Quinto - but only in Spock costume.
4) Helen Mirren - to keep things classy, although I think she'd probably have the dirtiest mouth out of the bunch.
5) Kate Winslet - because I want to be her best friend, and getting drunk together always fosters a sense of closeness.

Am I trying to have intellectual fun, get utterly wasted with a bunch of partyers that can hold their liquor and your hair back effectively, or end up in a sixsome? I need to know before I go any further.

Posted by: Sweetie Dahling at May 15, 2009 12:23 PM

Damn, what great choices you've all made! Intellectual drunkards who like to have a good larf... yep, that sums up a true Pajiban.
That said, Sweetie Dahling, the answer to your query is "All Of The Above".

Posted by: Spender at May 15, 2009 12:36 PM

Oops... I meant to write "Seckseh Intellectual Drunkards".

Posted by: Spender at May 15, 2009 12:37 PM

Stacey D Well, between Ewan and Johnny Lee, my hot pocket will probably spontaneously combust and I will have to explain that all the bits of tissue flying around in a fine mist in the air WAS my vagina.

That or it'll just melt and then land on the floor and that will probably be even more awkward.

I'll take your scenario of getting the clumsies with my purse over what would probably happen to me.

Posted by: Snuggiepants the Deathbringer at May 15, 2009 1:12 PM

UK edition: Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, Emma Thompson, Ricky Gervais, Billy Connolly, Mark Sheppard, John Barrowman, Russell T Davies.
I'm sure I don't need to explain why I chose any of these! I think I'd want this pub-crawl to last many days, and possibly cross county lines.

The rest: Nathan Fillion, Zac Levi, Alan Tudyk, Felicia Day, Joss Whedon, Christian Kane (I happen to know he sings well even when he's very drunk, which could be handy), Aldis Hodge, Katee Sackhoff, Barack Obama and Adam Baldwin (to take care of both sides of the inevitable drunken political argument).

Posted by: Tarn at May 15, 2009 1:41 PM

.... yes I know that's more than five people. I'm planning to be drunk, hence I'm not counting heads - or drinks.

Posted by: Tarn at May 15, 2009 1:44 PM

Amazing that a Republican would be the only one to want to drink with Cornel West and Howard Zinn. The reason it is amazing, the rest of you choose wannabes like Maher, Maddow, and Olberman and it some how certifies you liberal view. Try the ones that actually live it versus sell it, and you may actuall learn something from it.

Posted by: richmac at May 15, 2009 2:14 PM

Snuggie,

Your material is always delightful!

"Spilling the Purse" is based in reality. Once in the coffee shop a hot Adam Horovitz lookalike in a sharp suit and yarmulke said to me, "I love your shoes." (I wear a lot of heels).

And I was so shocked I spilled my purse, scooped it all up and ran away.

ALL DORK, honey. All dork.

I don't drink with Republicans because they get louty without their OxyContin.

Stephen Fry
Hugh Laurie
Nick Frost
Simon Pegg
and Emma Thompson, she's beautiful enough to make up for the four nerds.

Hugh Laurie and Emma Thompson because Laurie looks like too much fun and I have always had a mad crush on Emma.
John Irving because I want to know what he's really like. Anyone with as black a sense of humor as he has would have to be great to talk with.
Rachel Maddow... because I adore her and it will turn to politics, eventually.
Buddy Guy because you just know we'll hit a place with live music and by that time, Buddy and Hugh will be just juiced enough for an impromptu jam session.

@ rach-

How about we kidnap Bernard Black and get drunk with him? No Manny, just Bernard. Okay, maybe a little bit of Manny, just to lighten the mood occasionally.

I can handle the red wine if you can...

As long as it is the Pope's...

George Clooney. I might look really good to him while he's wearing his beer goggles.

Al Pacino. Bitch is crazy sober. Can you imagine him drunk?

Snoop Dogg. No explanation required.

Dame Judi Dench. Seriously.

Gordon Ramsey. Will he be nicer? Or nastier?

Ok, if we can just go with fictional characters for a second, I got two words: THE DUDE! Or hell, I would take the whole cast of that movie. Can you imagine?!

Couldn't pass up commenting on this one:

Emma Thompson
Hugh Laurie
Alan Rickman
Stephen Fry
And for awkwardness sake, Daniel Radcliffe.

Imagine the stories those first four would have about each other. Then imagine Harry Potter sitting awkwardly to the side knowing he could never match their amazingness.

Bruce Campbell. I don't need 5 people, he is 5 people. In the beginning he would be bruce, then he would get drunk: out would come Ash to tell tales of fighting evil in evil dead 1, 2, and army of darkness. By the end of the night he would be so drunk that he would have to morph into bubba-ho-tep,

Not at all connected, but-

George W. Bush - who doesn't want to have a beer with that fucking guy? At least I can say I'd be laughing my ass off.

Vinnie Jones - badass soccer player, badass actor, and I think he could probably drink a pint with gusto.

Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden from MGMT

Maddox from "The Best Page in the Universe"

Helena Bonham Carter
