An interesting tidbit from the con . . .

feliciakwSo. I'm in the office by myself today, and I've been watching con clips while I'm writing up the minutes from last week's meeting. And I found this particular clip to hold an interesting tidbit of information. The section timestamped 0:45 - 2:00.
I found it very interesting (and somewhat encouraging, though I know that sounds silly) that all three guys--Jensen, Jared, and Misha--resisted the whoopee cushion gag in "I Believe the Children . . ." I love that they were approaching it from a scene dynamic POV, as actors who know what they're doing would do. I love that they're invested in the scene and know their stuff and their characters and are willing to call Kripke and basically say, "Dude. This isn't gonna work." And it stands to reason that they'd be professional enough to do as they're told once they've spoken their piece. (I've been in that same situation, but that's a completely different story.)
I'm also not surprised that Kripke insisted on keeping it, and that once they guys started shooting it, they had trouble because they were laughing so much. It's such a juvenile, "guy" gag. I'd be surprised if something from shooting that scene didn't make it into the gag reel next year.
