"Bottoms" is already funny enough, but the corn dog clip may help cement it as one of the most well-crafted comedies ever. While fans would love to hear what that extra is saying, they've also pointed out that the scene is just one of many in the film that uses background actors to elevate the movie's overall comedy, rewarding those who take a closer look.
Regarding the corn dog extra, @AlanaDrives pointed out, "The fact that background actors aren't allowed to speak, so he was just back there in silence doing that." Meanwhile, @__bulll__ gave some practical insight into the corn dog shenanigans, saying, "When I used to be an extra, we would get thrown off set for doing s**t like this. [It] makes me think one of the ADs told them to do that." Another extra, @Blm_jt, also said an assistant director must have told them to use the corn dog that way, making the entire scene much better.
@Ashkcalvert wrote, "The background jokes were the best part of the movie, IMO," while @AmeliaStuart18 praised "Bottoms" for its background details, saying, "The extras are always doing something visually interesting." Another user showcased the inexplicable hilarity found in the background of "Bottoms," pointing out, "There's nonsense happening in the background of every scene it's so funny, like the one dude in [a] cage in class." @Cjfeisty said there are practically entire storylines in some scenes' background. Much like @LaNoireDe stated, fans should rewatch "Bottoms" and only pay attention to the nonsense the extras are up to.
