The first film wasn’t short on “did they just do that?” moments, with the faux-masturbating baby one of the more memorably crude moments. However, Phillips is determined that none of that shock-value should be diluted for the sequel, and argues that studios now know what they’re going to get when they hire him.

“I don’t have to argue with Warner Brothers about an R-rating (any more),” said Phillips to Collider. “I don’t have to argue about putting in a masturbating dog or whatever. The Hangover has a lot of those fights for you, so in a weird way it’s alleviated so much pressure.”

So there will be plenty more gross-out gags to come, then? It certainly sounds like it.

“You know, I’m like a 14-year old,” continues Phillips, “I just think (that stuff) is funny. I have a problem. I’m a moron. I am, and it’s embarrassing to like talk about it in an adult way because I know what you’re thinking. I think I’m a moron, too.”

We certainly don’t think so, although when we heard about who Phillips had lined up to cameo, we had our doubts…
