Doug Benson Still Likes Weed

April 21, 2008 AT 03:22PM | Comments (0)

Bensonsuperhigh A few months ago, we showed you the trailer for Doug Benson's potumentary Super High Me. The movie will be out on DVD in June, and to promote its release, Best Week Ever has an interview with Benson today:

BWE: Well then, this is as good a time as any to ask you about your new documentary, "Super High Me" - which is basically you partaking in another self-indulgent activity.

DB: Yes, it’s basically a rip-off of "Supersize Me," but with pot instead of McDonalds. I was high all day every day for 30 days. But to make the movie fair and balanced - Fox News style - I abstained from smoking pot for 30 days.

BWE: Wow, that’s just like Fox News.  So…what did you learn from this experiment?

DB: Not much actually. I thought going into it that I would be sick of weed after a month of constant use. But I still like it. Kids, don’t do drugs.

BWE: Is there anything that you would be sick of after a month of constant use?

DB: I wouldn’t want to do anything besides smoke pot for a whole month. Variety is the spice of life. That, and paprika.

For the complete interview, head over to Best Week Ever and read Getting Super High with Doug Benson. Meanwhile, to see Doug Benson talking about pot in his Comedy Central Presents, click past the jump.

Comedians Make New Year's Resolutions Too

December 21, 2007 AT 01:13PM | Comments (1)

S78635153 Punchline did a fun thing. They asked a bunch of standups for their New Years resolutions. They posted the results today and there are more than a few bona fide humdingers. I LOL'd at Doug Benson's:

I resolve not to believe everything I read. Because I saw a dog in a cage that had a sign on it that said, "I bite." And I was like, that is good to know, doggie. But you should make a sign that says, "I make signs."

Maria Bamford's is funny too:

My New Year's resolution is to master and defeat death— and drink more water.

For the whole list, check out PunchlineMagazine.com's Comedian Resolutions '08.

Interview: Doug Benson is the Sixth Funniest Comedian in the World

August 24, 2007 AT 01:14PM | Comments (1)

Bensond_m4 In light of his elimination from Last Comic Standing, Doug Benson is featured in a new interview at BuddyTV. Here's a little:

Doug, how are you?

Pretty good. Eliminated is a little scary, strange to hear before my name. Even though they knocked me out, I still am the sixth funniest comedian in the world. You could’ve introduced me that way.


I’ll introduce you that way from now on, that’s a better title.

Yeah, sixth funniest.

To read the rest of the interview or to listen to audio of it, head to BuddyTV.
