Lem & Phil Answer Your Questions! [Official]

Watch the 'Phil & Lem' answer your questions here!

This is the official response post from Malcolm Barrett & Jonathan Slavin (Phil & Lem from Better Off Ted.) We had some slip ups with verification so the AMA & responses basically didn't get the attention they deserved but you can check out the questions we did manage to get here.

The last thing I am is a karma whore but please don't recklessly downvote this because we posted this to r/videos on Monday. **Thanks to everyone who did upvote, as a sign of my gratitude, I'll be sharing the responses to this IAmA post with Malcolm directly. **

Man that was hilarious. Those two work so well off of eachother, they should have a weekly segment just talking.

I finished it on Netflix last week and am in the same boat. :'( So sad to find there was no season 3.

As did I, it ended quite abruptly and was actually funny.

I watched it while it was on TV and tried to get everyone to watch it, was sad when it got canceled.

Better of Ted is another awesome show that got cancelled far to early.

Thanks for doing this. You guys are amazing. Glad to see you're hilarious in person, too. I've introduced a lot of people to Better Off Ted and have yet to meet someone who hasn't liked the show and loved you guys.

Best wishes for the future!

No questions from me. I just want to say that I remember Malcolm from Stuy ('99 alum here), and that I've heard of his progress through Burcu ('99) and Aaron ('98) over the years. I'm really happy that his hard work has paid off, and I very much hope he's happy with what he's accomplished since leaving high school.

May he have more and greater success in the years to come!

To everybody that sees this: Go watch Andy Richter Controls The Universe. It was made by the same person, Phil (Jonathan Slavin) is in it, and he plays a character a lot like Phil, and it's just as funny as BOT. In a way, it's Better Off Ted before Better Off Ted, and it was cancelled in the same light.

Anyhoo, that's all. This show is beyond beyond beyond underrated, and I figured every BOT fan would love the hell out of it. Sad I missed the AMA, but glad Malcolm & Jonathan did it. Love those guys.

I wouldn't call you a karma whore. Whores get paid for the services. I think you're more of a karma slut.

I believe you don't even get karma from an IAmA but what the hell do I know lol.

Well I'll just give you a little comment karma instead.

You guys are the best and Better Off Ted was a show more people needed to watch. Along with Portia, you guys made me laugh the hardest. Thanks for all the fun times :)

If both Malcolm Barrett & Jonathan Slavin still want to, what do they think the probability that they could get a spin off show? 2%?

more seriously, what are all the main actors/actresses in the show doing now?

LNMagic•

I think they mentioned that the show wasn't popular enough to be able to sell a spin-off. Not that they lacked the talent, just needed a little push to get recognized.
