id rather eat at taco bell

[Nomen Nescio]

Now that's some freaky hijiki.

Its cool that Ben Stiller and his gorgeous wife chill with Mike D. It sucks though that those kids have to eat veggie burgers. Call me old fashioned, but kids should eat meat!

[DJ Pioneer]

Good stuff! With a wife like that, Mike D must eat like a king!

[jennyb]

I would picture Ben Stiller to be a Beastie freak and geeking out all over Mike. Ya know like the character types he usually plays. Hehe.

[CHECKHEAD2004]

THIS IS TOO FUNNY. Ben is a huge Beastie Fan. Way too funny. What a life..." while it was cooking in the oven, I practiced some yoga"......
What a dream....

Hello Nasty poster appears in Meet the Parents

Stiller introduced the Beasties on some MTV award show around the HN days. He said something like...Here's the coolest band in the world!!! I think this is the performance where they did 3MCs and Intergalactic.

Klepto...you gotta link of the intro?

[Jmoney77]

very cool

Hello Nasty poster appears in Meet the Parents

FACT: I was in the test audience for a screening of Meet the Parents. On the form to review the film I put "LOVE the Hello Nasty Poster on Denny's wall!"

I don't know if this applies... but I went to see LeTigre perform at the El Rey Theater in Los Angeles. Out front I saw Ben Stiller after the show gettin into his car. I'm sure he enjoys LeTigre and all but I'm also sure he was motivated to go to the show for similar reasons a Beastie dork like myself would go. Mhm. Yep.

[YoungRemy]

here's an abscure one:

Alfredo Ortiz plays in a Mariachi Band in the film Along Came Polly

[b-grrrlie]

He's in the audience in AIFST.

[Laver1969]

The Beasties reference Ben Stiller's movie character Zoolander in In A World Gone Mad.

George Bush your're looking like Zoolander
Trying to play tough for the camera

[Kid Presentable]

Does world gone mad exist? Is it canon?

Warning: Nerd Alert

He actually said something more along the lines of:

"Two dreams I've had in show business were getting out of my father's shadow and introducing this band!"

Correct! This was the performance where MMM messed up...at least I think he did. I remember MCA came in on the 3rd verse, the time was messed up, and Mike D had to repeat his lines to let the beat catch up...

[Laver1969]

It looks like Ben Stiller got his wife hooked on the Beasties as well... (http://www.contactmusic.com/new/xmlfeed.nsf/mndwebpages/stiller.s%20wife%20obsessed%20with%20beastie%20boy s)

Yeah, not mmm, but Yauch who screwed up a bit. He came in early on "from the family tree of old school hip hop" verse. Then Mike had to say, "I am known to do the wop" 3 times! Good performance though. Very exciting.

Never a fan now obsessed with TT5B? He didn't teach her PB? They'd tear her to shreds on these boards. :p

(y) yes! (y)

the judges will accept a Zoolander reference from World Gone Mad.

they would also accept a Cable Guy reference from Ch-Check it Out (Stiller directed and briefly appears)

[Laver1969]

I'd like to submit the following for the judges review:

From Putting Shame in Your Game

You be like hello nasty where you BEN
It's time you brought the grimy beats out the dungeon

[Laver1969]

*Bumpty

With Tropic Thunder on the horizon...will there be any Beastie reference connections.
