Matt and Trey made Matt Damon's puppet only say "Matt Damon" because the puppet's face came out looking stupid. They went on record as saying that their original vision for Matt's puppet was someone who spoke very intelligently and eloquently. Mostly because Matt Damon is one of the only actors whom Matt and Trey actually like and respect.
I doubt that. It was most likely a story to cover their butts. Actions speak louder than words, so If they truly believed that then they would not have done an patronising joke like that.
No no no, Mark Wahlberg + Leonardo DiCaprio + twisted mad scientist + failed genetic transmogrification = "IM MAATT DAMONNNHHH 😆 I feel like he is making a joke. He has to get that they were just roasting.
Me: "Hey Matt, should I get into the porn industry?" Matt: "Absolutely not, it's a terrible idea don't do it" 20 years later... ...PornStar. Thank you Matt Damon for telling me 'no'.
I think the reason Matt And Trey made the Matt Damon puppet like that was because the head didn't come out the way they had wanted. It ended up looking kinda dopey, so they just made Matt dopey.
This is what I have heard as well... they even had lines and all for him but scraped it because they felt his puppet looked stupid. Wouldn't shock me at all knowing those two!
About Robin Williams, he launched into comedy because the energy, the fun, was leaving the room, and for someone who's depressed, that's close to death, immmediately everything sux, you have no will to live, it's just one major drag. So you go nuts and basically do anything, and he had the great gift of comedy, improvisation, the man was outright brilliant, on Einsteins level, but with comedy. But he HAS to do it as soon as any moment dies off. Check ANY interview he has, as soon as there is just a sliver of silence, even in a serious conversation, you see his face, you see it's not happy, and he launches off into the comedic stratosphere, just to pick himself up, and he happens to take people with him. It's a constant case of putting tiny tiny bandages on that giant gaping wound.
Have you ever like, been eating spaghetti and you take a little too much, so when you bite down you're only getting like half of it and the rest of it falls onto your new white shirt. So you kind of try and play it off like no big deal but everyone can see that you have a huge red stain on your shirt?
Once Paul Greengrass asked him to do it he was in. Though they didn't have a story, and then, they skipped that part and made the movie without a story. Brave film making!
I have a friend who stayed in the same hotel as the cast of Ocean's 11 for a work thing and kept randomly running into Matt Damon, even though she kept hoping for George Clooney. On the third encounter the elevator doors opened and there's Matt Damon, and she said to him, "you have to stop this" and he laughed. She said he's really nice.
4:55 "we try to think up ways to incorporate that fun fighting style where Bourne is finding found objects and defending himself with them." I think this is really cool, but you have to give credit where credit is due. Jackie Chan has been doing this in blockbuster movies for a long time. And to be clear, I'm not saying Matt Damon was insinuating that they invented this, but rather using this as an opportunity to highlight a great talent in a similar genre. I love the Bourne movies.
I think Matt is one of the nicest people I've ever seen in show business. I don't know--- Matt Damon vs Jimmy Stewart? That's a tough one! ... One of my favorite videos of him outside of a role was at a teacher's conference outdoors with his Mom. He just exuded integrity, as he always does, especially when this super uninformed person from REASON MAG tried to rile him up with a question, and he just would have none of it. He says here he's only a good boxer in films, but had this gone on much further, somebody might have gotten punched. Not really of course because he's super nice guy Matt Damon. But he stood up for teachers, he stood up for his Mom, and when the cameraman started throwing shit about "teachers who are unqualified", Matt says well how do you know, I mean you could be a shitty cameraman, so...." ... And the qualities he shows here--- Always game for anything. Jimmy Kimmel could probably talk Matt into doing anything for a gag-- he's so humorous, and loves funny shit the way we all do, and cares not one bit to mock his own talents if it's helping the gag. I think we can all agree that besides his matthew mcconaughey imitations, which are hilarious, his best to date is his song with Sarah Silverman "I'm fucking Matt Damon". A superb human being and a great actor too!
Matt, I loved you in that movie. Between We Bought a Zoo and your work in Team America we’re some of your best, but you proved to why you were parodied in it.
the story i heard behind the team america matt damon is that they originally had real dialogue for the character, but then the puppet was left in the sun and got warped a little bit. instead of remaking the puppet, they decided to roll with it and make him "special," much like timmy from south park.
I really like Matt Damon. Although his britches are a gazillion times bigger than those worn by us common folk, he still comes off very down-to-earth. Even more, he is often using his fame to fight the institutions that try to deceive and rob the masses...risking his reputation. Love this guy. Now, if I could just get his input on his alluding to Beethoven/Mozart in Goodwill Hunting, I'd be a completely satisfied man.
That's crazy that people told him not to be an actor but he still did it.. People told me I couldn't get out of me wheelchair and I did it. It all depends on what you are willing to do and how bad you want it
4:08 No, all those celebrities got parodied because they acted like they knew better than everyone else. Which that last comment basically proves _"history is on my side, not theirs"_ lol
All plots in films with Matt Damon: "I am smarter than the rest of you and here's why..." Every interview with Matt Damon: "I am smarter than the rest of you and here's why..." Me: "Screw him and his potatoes..."
He shouldn't feel bad about Team America. Matt Stone and Trey Parker has said in interviews that the only reason Matt Damon in the movie is like that is because they couldn't come up with anything bad about him. Out of all spoofed actors in Team America they actually like him the most.
these are nice but i feel they would be better if the actors also read the questions. if i am multi tasking and i have this playing and listening to it i have to pause and read the question

he found it out later, but question was what was his First thought
I doubt that. It was most likely a story to cover their butts. Actions speak louder than words, so If they truly believed that then they would not have done an patronising joke like that.
i wouldn't go so for as to assume that of the creators of none other than southpark.
Hernandez Alfredo if they are silly in their show, doesn't mean they are silly in real life
*Every* puppet was pretty dumb in that movie, so wth.
He opened his mouth but all I could hear was "MYATTT DAYMIN!"
Definitely
His comments about Robin gave me goosebumps and made me teary eyed. That amazing man changed a lot of lives for the better. Rest in peace.
Why does he just keep saying "MATT DAMON!"

Now you can watch a youtube video about reddit made by reddit on reddit
Yo dawg, I heard you like Reddit...
Holy shit dude you did it.
TH-cam have a Reddit channel!
"History's on my side, not theirs." Lol, it's obvious that he didn't see the movie, since they make fun of both sides.
The first bit of the video when he's talking about being an actor or not was genius!!!!!!!
: )

Yeah, I heard them say that in an interview at some point
Yeah, they just couldn't get the puppet to look right. I love how it ended up hahaha
So Mark Watney is doing well I see, that's great.
He's lost some of that humor since returning to earth.
*Mark Wahlberg
no question about The Martian. I was kind of disapoint
And I He/She is talking about his character from the Martians not mark wahlberg
SectorYT Nah
i love that he talks about hot dogs exactly the same way as about his acting career
Jason Bourne plays a good Matt Damon.
TBz LOL

Trying to get him to answer my post on that day was the most stressful memory ever
Did he answer it?
Nope. That made it even more stressful lol
I Animate Things What was it though
A Canadian Something about why he got involved with that Arthur TV show cameo and why his design was terrifying
I loved that interview. very personal and honest felt like I was in the room
That hot dog question.....riveting....RIP Robin Williams
"MATT DAMON" - Matt Damon
That hotdog sandwich, really deep stuff.
He has really awesome looking eyes
you have an awesome looking profile pic
Funny, I was just wondering about his eyes...one seems to protrude more..wonder if it's Graves Disease.
fuckin GAAYYAYAAYAYAYAYAYAYYHARAMABEAEAEAEAE'
May Robin Williams rest in peace.. He was an amazing actor.. God save his soul, Matt talking about Robin made me tear up

crushin hard ... loved you since Will Hunting .. easily one of my fave films of all time

Don't fuck with me. Don't fuck with me Sean, not you!
It's not your fault.
Like him so much. He's in my top 10 best/favourite actors. 😊

Good will hunting is my favourite film still
Great AMA! I wish reddit did another series like the "Formative Moments" ones...production quality was absolutely phenomenal!
Thank god he answered the hot dog sandwich question. That's what I was waiting for the entire time.
The lighting in this video makes it look like Matt Damon is aging faster than he did in the last scene of Saving Private Ryan.
I was pretty blown away just by that first question. Great answer!

Team America hands down his best performance. ""Matt Daymon"
Matt, I loved you in that movie. Between We Bought a Zoo and your work in Team America we’re some of your best, but you proved to why you were parodied in it.
7:55
he answered that Question more seriously than the others lol
Jesus Christ it's Jason Bourne

Who is that?!?! Its Jason Bourne! So that is Jason Bourn?

I'm glad they asked him about the hotdog, not like there's anything else worth finding out.
Maht Deymonn
with Trey and Matt being the geniuses they are, i think they knew that simply having him say " meyyaattt deyminn" was just because its funny as hell.
Jason bourne was so good. Hope you guys make another one
Okay, he's probably my favourite actor now.... Definitely.
I really like Matt Damon. Although his britches are a gazillion times bigger than those worn by us common folk, he still comes off very down-to-earth.

That's crazy that people told him not to be an actor but he still did it.. People told me I couldn't get out of me wheelchair and I did it. It all depends on what you are willing to do and how bad you want it
his laugh and facial expression alway remind me of when he played tom ripley
Team America voice. "Matt Damon! Derka Derka"
Down to earth and he admires the creators of South Park.. I like this guy :)
I really hope that we never hear about a bunch of scandals involving Matt Damon because he seems like one of the nicest guys.
What a class act. Oh, and them great movies to boot.
Here for 3:15 but boy the rest is awesome. Matt Damon is phenomenal
only clicked on this in hopes that some one asked about team america....... I am pleased
he has the best attitude towards the "Matt damon" south park thing hahaha good on ya mate ;)
4:08 No, all those celebrities got parodied because they acted like they knew better than everyone else.
Which that last comment basically proves _"history is on my side, not theirs"_ lol
Gotta love that background music. Nice job reddit 👌

Wow, he is way more eloquent than he seems in talk shows.
Such an intelligent person
such a humble man
Matt Damon: is asked if a hot dog is a sandwich and uses the words "ostensibly" and "classify" in his response
Matt Damon is freaking awesome!
Matt You make movie number 6 of the jason Bourne series
The reason the team america thing was so funny was cos he has such a clean personna. It's basically trolling.
Loved the movie Matt, can't wait for more.
Adore matt! This was great 😊 his eyes are phenomenal 😍
Mett Dayymein!!!
who else was bought you by Matt Damon team America? 😂
This video was really good.
Points to Matt Damon for not sheading tears when talking about Robin Williams, even though you can clearly see that he's moved by it..
The 3:05 answer is the best part of this whole video 😂
I love these videos!
I really want to see a Jason Bourne vs James Bond movie.
-originally heard this proposed on Screen Junkies Moviefights.
I really hoped he'd do the "Matt Damon..." thing himself.
I'd have been able to die after that.
"Just do your work kid" Looks like Bill Belichick was doing some acting classes on the side
Great advice from an amazing actor 👍🏻
He's a realy well spoken gentleman
Good Will Hunting is a true Masterpiece!!!

My favourite actor by a country mile
