Jason Segel invites entire Swell Season audience to freak him

There’s getting lucky, as anyone who snagged tix to The Swell Season in L.A. this week was, obvs. And then there’s getting lucky, as in everyone’s favorite funny dude Jason Segel coming onstage for a surprise appearance and openly inviting the entire audience to booty-call him. Doing so in song, obvs.

Instant legend has it (according to the text box accompanying this HILARIOUS VIDEO OF THE MUSICOMIC EPIC WHICH DEMANDS TO BE VIEWED RIGHT NOW) that Segel and everyone else’s favorite funny dude, Paul Rudd, happened upon Glen Hansard, Marketa Irglova & Co. (i.e., The Frames) at a restaurant. Acquaintance-making ensued, resulting in Segel being invited to perform at the show. Taking Irglova’s songwriting advice to heart — reveal something personal — the competent pianist belted out a phone number-revealing chorus, thus finally ending Tommy Tutone’s 27-year reign as the King of Sung Dialing.

There are also two fantastic penis jokes somewhere around the third or fourth verse. This is composing on a much higher caliber than the duddish “Dracula” stuff Segel did in Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

Segel’s dropped digits begin with area code 315, which is upstate New York, which is not where he’s from. Call and you’ll hear Segel politely instructing you to email what sounds like “healthtronic at gmail dot com.” I did, requesting to be sent something that has been recently touched by Jason Segel, but as of the past 20 minutes have received no reply. Then I Googled both “Healthtronics” and “Healthtronix”. Neither seems to use gmail, but both can sell you some urological or lymphonic equipment.

  • The most amusing thing about this is that there are women who have spoken to him very briefly by phone or email and are now convinced they’re one step away from a deep and meaningful relationship with him! There are two in particular who are conversing via twitter about their recent experience with Jason and you’d seriously think they were both Twihards obsessing over RPatz, it’s hilarious! If Jason was hoping for sex, he should look elsewhere – some of these women are nuts!
    Thing is, Jason was overheard talking to NPH about it on the set of HIMYM during the filming of the 100th episode. He purchased a cell phone whilst in New York, hence the area code and explained the reason he did it was because he thought it would be fun for him to hear people freak out when he answers the phone as “Hi this is Jason Segel”. So really this is all one big elaborate prank to amuse himself. As for the two women, judging from their photos (sorry girls) and fangirl tweets, I wouldn’t advise them to hold their breath for a hook up anytime soon.

  • Rose, I don’t believe his “Dracula” stuff was duddish? It was original and comical with a little bit of sincerity mixed in. Maybe because you are the “Sarah Marshall type” you didn’t enjoy it. Lord knows she didn’t. Makes me think maybe you don’t have a heart? Although i did get quite a chuckle from your Tommy Tutone reference. Maybe you do have a soft spot after all or maybe you have a weakness for all things 80’s?
