Student busted for McLovin ID
One of the most iconic scenes in the film is when an underaged character named Fogell (played by Christopher Mintz-Plasse) devises a scheme to buy alcohol using a fake ID from Hawaii he obtained with the name ‘McLovin’ on it.
A twenty-year old man from Iowa actually tried to pull this off in real life, according to WSVN 7 News. After police were called, officers reportedly asked the student for his ID, to which he responded he didn’t have one. However, when his wallet was searched, police said they discovered a “fake Hawaii ID with the name ‘McLovin DOB 06/03/1981″, the outlet reported.
Replying to the news story on Twitter, writer and actor in Superbad, Seth Rogen, gave the perfect response.
“My work here is done,” he said, which sent his followers into a frenzy as many found the moment to be hilarious.
