Original Table Read is the cast and crew reading the script back in 2002, but is difficult to hear due to the low quality. Next to it is the updated reading from 2006. Vag-Tastic Voyage is a one-minute in-joke only relevant to those who have seen the movie, and if you’re in that crowd, you know what it is. Loads of trailers and a commentary with the director and cast (which is a necessity after you’ve seen the movie) are also crammed on here.

Four voice mails are included from Jonah Hill to Michael Cera on their casting, their roles, and more. Snakes on Jonah has Jonah Hill being forced to deal with some freaky animals as a gag from the crew for around five minutes. TV Safe Lines is a collection of priceless edits that need to be done for the eventual TV version.

Everyone Hates Michael Cera is a variety of clips where Cera is ignored, intermixed with an interview where he praises his time spent with everyone. This one goes for a little less than seven minutes. On-set diaries cover the production from the first shot to the wrap, taking a total of 18 minutes of your time.

The Music of Superbad takes 13 minutes, rather obviously focusing on the original tracks created to set the tone of the movie. Press Junket Meltdown is a funny satire of promotional interviews for three and half minutes. Finally, three audition tapes are included with some dialogue that didn’t make it into the final cut.

To save you some time, the Blu-ray exclusive SuperMeter’s stats end up like this:

403 curse words
257 sex references
51 uses of “McLovin”
