Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka Take a Couples Quiz | GQ

- When you've been married this long- - Don't touch me. - Okay. What's one food, David, I would absolutely never eat? - [beep]. - Wow. Couples Quiz. - Couple Quiz. ♪ Couples Quiz ♪ - Hi, I'm Neil Patrick Harris. - Hi, I'm David Burtka. - And we are doing the GQ... ♪ Couples Quiz ♪ - Let's try that again. ♪ Couples Quiz ♪ [David laughs] - David, describe our first date. - Oh! - Bonus, if you can remember what I wore. - It was a long date. We first went to the coffee shop that's now at like a Chase Bank. - Yeah. - In Union Square. Then we went to a movie, "Taking Lives." - Yeah, we did. - And then we went to dinner at 44 and X and you ordered the chicken and waffles. It was like your thing to wear Abercrombie and Fitch and baggy jeans and I worked on that. - Wrong. I'm just kidding. - What is the best way to make me laugh? - To say that you are gonna only buy- - No. - Inexpensive clothes. [David laughing] What is my favorite gift you've given me? - I have to say your 40th birthday. - Go on. - His 40th birthday scavenger hunt extravaganza across America. Started with a surprise party in Los Angeles and we went cross country picking up clues and gifts and experiences to New York with another surprise birthday party. Week long, week long. - Epic. - Epic. Took me a year to produce. - And it was then I finally said I would love you. - Well, why don't you show it? - Next question. - This is easy. - Okay. - What made me want to become a chef? - The sudden passing of your mother. - That's true. - Making you realize that life is too short and you gotta do stuff that you want to do. - Yeah. - It was a great call. - Yeah. - Thanks, buddy. What's my best party trick? There's so many to choose from. - There is so many to choose from. I'd say either your bent fork, you can bend a fork with your mind. - True. - Or you can make things disappear like- - Wrong! Juggling. I can juggle. - Oh. I've never seen you juggle at a party. - It's a great party trick. You should see it sometime. Kills. [David humming circus music] See? Who can juggle? You've never seen me do this? - Not at a party. - Wait, where'd that one come... Outta my ass. Literally. - Yeah, right. On the beach. If you said it was your beach trick, but never at a party. Oh! - How am I doing? [audience applauding] Thanks. Thanks so much. - Ew! Someone's gotta clean that up. - Get to work. - What is my least favorite part of working together? - The last time we worked together was on on "Uncoupled" season one, and I would guess that the least favorite thing- - But we never had scenes together. - I would guess that the least favorite thing was that I had a big, like, giant trailer and you were given like one of the smaller ones. - We didn't even work together on that day. - So what's the answer? - Notes. You giving me notes. [Neil laughing] - I don't give you notes. - Pages. - Well... - Wrong. - Sometimes they're earned. What's one food, David, I would absolutely never eat? - Pussy. - Wow. That wasn't true. - Now! - Not a gold star. - One food that you won't eat. - What do I not like on anything? [imitates buzzer] Raw onion. - Oh, I was gonna say egg salad. - It depends on the egg salad. - In my opinion... Oh... What's the biggest dinner party faux pa? - Bringing flowers without a vase. - Ding, ding, ding, ding. Flowers without a vase. People just bring like a bouquet of flowers. Now I'm supposed to stop what I'm doing in cooking and get a vase and cut the flowers and put them out? You can't bring a vase with it? How much more time does it take just to put it in a fucking vase. - Glass half full, this one. Glass half full. - You got it. Ya got it. Ya got it. - What is a skill I wish I had but haven't learned yet? - Woodworking. - No. I know how to work with wood. [bell dings] [bubbles popping] No, I can't juggle five balls yet. - Oh, juggling again. I can juggle three. Can juggle four, no problem. [imitates air whooshes] Five to five pattern. [sighs] I can only play with so many balls. - If I could eat one thing for the rest of my life, what would it be? - Probably a pasta? - Oh! Yeah! I think that's what I'd say. - Really? - Yeah. Good job. I thought you were gonna say dick. - What is my cocktail order? - Margaritas - Ding. - Negronis - Gin Negroni. Ding. - Manhattan. Oh shit. - Rose? - Rose, all day. Ding, ding, and one more. Three outta four, considering you haven't had a drink in- - Seven years. - Seven years. I'm impressed by that. - Yeah. - Oh, but I noticed how much you drink. - Next question. - What is my favorite character you've played? When we first started dating, I did a cabaret at Studio 54 and I was the MC and I got to go around in the audience and you were sitting in one of those little cocktail tables and I got to drape myself over you and you were kind of crushing a little bit and I was a little flirty. Was that it? - Yeah. I'll give it to you. Your characters are long and extensive. - Let's go through them. - Oh God. Don't, please. - Okay. I don't wanna fight. - If I were a drag queen, what would my stage name be? Isn't it, you take your grandma's name and you put the last dessert you ate. - For you, Eleanor Donut Hole? [Dave laughing] - Okay. What would it be for real, for real, for real? - I would take Gideon's favorite drag name for you? Anita Dolla. - Anita Dala. - What is my favorite thing you cook for me? - Bolognese. - Easy. Bolognese for the win. I mean, that's all day, every day. - There wasn't even a pause. - Not even a question. This motherfucker's bolognese is off the chain. Whether you eat it fresh and it's just made, or if it's been in the fridge for a day, or if it's been frozen and reheated. By the way, you haven't made bolognese for me in like months. - I don't do enough for you, do I? Who made the first move? - I think it was me. - I think it was you too. - I think I made... I dropped you off after that first date. - No, it happened before that. - Really? - Uh-huh. - Scandalous. - There was that, like, chamber before you got to the bathroom. - [gasps] Oh yeah. I did make the first move. - If you had to describe our relationship in three words- - Oh, Jesus. - What would they be? Careful now. - Hilarious. - Yeah. - Nonstop. - Oh. Yeah. - Adventure. - I'm gonna give you those three points. [bell dings] - All right. It's time- - For the- - [Both] Lightning round! [Dave imitating lightning and thunder] - Are there graphics? [Dave shudders and groans] - Harold or Kumar? Herold. - Kumar. Coffee or Red Bull? - [Both] Coffee? - Desert island item. - Puzzles. [Neil stammers] - Oh, puzzles is a really good one. I was gonna say one of those... What are those called? Those keyboards that have a tube that you can breathe into the tube and you can play like... [Neil imitates playing a musical instrument] - Desert island item? - Yeah, they take batteries, man. Good cop or bad cop? - [Both] Good cop. - Karaoke song. - [Both] "Piano Man." - Nice. Screen or stage? Screen. - Scrane. You didn't even say a word. You just said scraen. - I can't pick one. I just can't pick one. Disneyland or Disney World? 1, 2, 3, go. - [Both] Disney World. - All day, every day. - Every day. - Disneyland is great. It's bespoke, don't get me wrong, but Disney World is like... - It's a world compared to a land. - Well, it was fun, Dave. - Yeah, that was real fun. - Who do you think won? - Probably me. I probably won. - Yep. Honey, yep. Final tally. - Final... Oh! - Oh! I'm used to dimming my light for his light. It's fine. - When I win, we both win. Right? [soft music fades]
