Making something together.' The camera then zooms out and includes the entire cast and crew together. “If we ended on an episode all about me, that would kind of miss the point, wouldn’t it?” he says, talking to viewers. 'I thought the show was supposed to be about community.” Segel agrees. “The last episode was rather self-centered,' remarks Janice (Field). In the final act, the main four characters/actors are in a field and following along. The end.” Then asked if he thinks he can pull this off, he replies, “No. I think that maybe underneath all our stuff maybe we just aren’t as different as we choose to believe. And I just think it might be helpful to anybody who is as confused as I was. Also, I just think the whole thing is fun, and weird and dark and hilarious, and I want it to be all those things - because I am all those things. I don’t know if I found myself again or if this is something new, but I know that I want to write about it. 'So I went on this search, and I didn’t always know what I was looking for, or even why exactly. “I used to think that I could do anything, and then I lost that part of myself,' further explains Segel. Benjamin (as Fredwynn?) understands the ' Fight Club on acid, written by someone who likes life' concept. “I know it’s a lot to digest, you probably want me to explain more of what’s going on in the show,' he says, talking to Andre Benjamin, but also clearly the audience. If you need to write another Muppets movie, I’ll be back.” But it’s a start.” He leaves with one last message: “Time to grow up. “So I was a selfish, self-centered, entitled, spoiled guy who lost his way, no victim, no villain, just me and my choices,' admits Segel, to which The Boy responds, “You’re a goddamn mess. Own it, dude.” The Boy turns on the TV, and the shots from The Boy struggling with his fame earlier are revealed to be of Segel, whether it be drinking in his trailer or selling out for money.

And then instead of letting your freak flag fly, you filled your fat face with cake and whiskey and tried to stay famous. You’re a weird dude, you made a Dracula puppet musical. You got drunk, you got rich, and you stopped being you. 'And you are not a goddamn boy, you’re a 40-year-old adult and this manchild victim s- has got to end. “I want you to grow the f- up…I’m not a boy, I’m you, and that’s the problem,' he says. It's The Boy, and he reads Segel the riot act. He's really proud of it, until Simone tells him that the parts about himself are 'lacking any personal responsibility' and that he has to 'own your own s-.' With his rewrite attempts not going well, he has a giant bowl of cereal (another Sarah Marshall callback), before hearing 'release me' coming from another room. Perfect.”įour months later, Jason has written a script for Dispatches From Elsewhere.

'But not because you are unique, you’re special because you’re exactly like everyone else. “As hard as it is to believe, you are special,' she says. She explains to him that the game is about all of us and that pain isn't unique. This brings out Sally Field, who doesn't seem to be playing Sally Field. He eventually makes it to the roof of a building and finds a Dispatches From Elsewhere video game, which asks him various questions, soon causing him to freak out. She gives him a postcard for Elsewhere.' We jump ahead to him beginning the game, which finds him running around Philadelphia, and not even stopping when one fan yells at him, 'Jason Segel show us your d-,' referencing his famous Forgetting Sarah Marshall scene. Following the meeting, he meets Simone, who takes him to 'The Barn of Beautiful Things,' where she works and lives. 'And now I don’t even know what I’m supposed to do next…For the past 20 years, I would make a bunch of jokes and make you all like me, but I don’t think anything is funny right now, and I don’t like myself.' And then came the twist: This isn't 'Peter,' this is Jason Segel. 'I used to think I could do anything, and I sort of did,' he shares. Then, after a disastrous performance (surely aided by his abuse of chocolate milk), the action cuts to modern day and an AA meeting with Peter.
