Thursday was the 10 year anniversary of the movie Superbad.
The classic graduation movie was the "Dazed and Confused" of its generation and helped launch a number of Hollywood careers.
The movie was written by high school pals Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg while they attended Point Grey Secondary School in Vancouver.
References to Steven Glansberg eating alone or Mike Snider being the first to get a fake ID aren’t made up tales, but rather well known facts in Vancouver’s Kerrisdale neighbourhood.
To celebrate the anniversary on Thursday, Rogen took to Twitter to share a number of lesser known facts about the film.
Superbad turns 10 today, which makes Mclovin 35 I think.

Who drew all the penises? Did Jersey Shore get the phrase “D.T.F.” from the movie? How did they come up with the title?
All that and plenty more is answered by Rogen, who also did a question and answer for further inquiries from fans, which you can read all of here.
Here are all of the fun facts that Rogen revealed on Thursday (some foul language included):
Danny Mcbride is an extra in the background of the first party scene in Superbad.

Almost all the names in Superbad are people we went to high school with and lots of the stuff in the movie really happened to us.

Just like in Superbad, Mike Snider actually was the first guy to get a fake ID and it was awesome.

Anyway, if you dig Superbad, thanks for digging it. I wrote it with my best friend in high school and we still write together. It's lovely.
