In addition, Robert Brinkmann was also the director of photography in .cite web|url=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0109658/|title=Robert Brinkmann IMDb profile|accessdate=January 23|accessyear=2007] The version seen on TV is slightly different than the one found on the DVD. Instead of "fuckin' insane," the lyric is changed to "freakin' insane" and "flippin' insane" and "completely profane." When Jack Black is kicked out of the movie theater, he tells a man to "sniff on my booty"; on the DVD Jack Black asks a man to "suck on my boney." The TV version also has a "Snakes on a Plane" poster blurred out which can just barely be seen at the end of the video. "Snakes" is another New Line Cinema film, released three months before "The Pick of Destiny".
