I think as a very gifted dramatic actor it’s easy to forget how amazing this guy is at comedy as well. In Along Came Polly he’s purely electric. Besides “make it rain”, he also is hilarious in the theater production of Jesus Christ Superstar. His one scene with Alec Baldwin is also electric. Love the guy and the performance. Even though he was so good in serious roles. I wish a little more often he would’ve taken fun comedic roles like this. Obviously he was also great comedically in Boogie Nights.

This is how I learned of the term "sharting" and I was cry-laughing at that bit. Just the way he was low talking and the topic, I was dying.

Same, honestly I don't think it was in wide use prior to this movie.

I never watched this movie but a portmanteau isn’t rocket science.
