People Just Do Nothing stars on the scene that had them all cracking up on the set of their new movie

Fans of bloopers will defo want to check this out.

As much as we all love a great comedy, there are certain types of funny movies that are likely to have everyone involved in making them absolutely cracking up on the set.

Certain actors are incredible at coming up with ad-libs or unique line deliveries in the moment, and the comedic timing of it can be so spot on that it completely destroys their co-stars ability to keep a straight face.

Movies like Liar Liar and Anchorman 2 have had literally millions of people checking out their bloopers reels on YouTube in the years since they were released, and the same could soon be said for People Just Do Nothing: Big In Japan.

We caught up with MC Grindah (Allan Mustafa) and DJ Beats (Hugo Chegwin) ahead of the release of the movie, and you can check out that full interview right here:

During the course of the chat, which includes the guys revealing their favourite comedy movies, and what real event in Japan actually made it into a scene in the finished movie, we asked them if there were any particular moments during the filming that were particularly difficult to film because they couldn’t keep a straight face?

Mustafa: “There is a bit that made the cut!”

Chegwin: “Yeah, there is a bit in the karaoke scene where my head is on the window, but I know, because it’s me, that I’m laughing.”

Mustafa: “When Steve [Stamp] is singing ‘Dry Your Eyes Mate’ in the high pitch, you can see [Chegwin’s] top lip tremble a little bit.”

Chegwin: “Yeah, that is me laughing, but I guess only I would see that. I think I am the worst [for laughing on set.]”

Mustafa: “That is because he’s usually acting against me and I’m hilarious.”

Chegwin: “Yeah, that is very difficult.”

People Just Do Nothing: Big In Japan arrives in Irish cinemas on Friday 20 August. Check out the trailer right here…
