** The idea of the "dirty man competition" came from a contest Creator/SethRogen would have with writing partner Evan Goldberg. "It's basically an excuse to justify why no woman wants to talk to you," says Rogen. The rules are you can't shave or cut your hair, and whoever does first loses. This was part of Apatow's pre-production with the cast, as he asked them about "J*ckass" things they did to each other. They initially planned to put Creator/JayBaruchel in a Music/VanillaIce-like hairstyle, and the competition would have been Creator/MartinStarr having to grow his beard and Jay having to stay looking like Vanilla Ice.

According to Apatow (and the behind-the-scenes footage), Jay's panicked "IWANNAGETOFF!" that made the final cut of the film is a legitimate Jay Baruchel freak-out and not actually being in character.
