If you got some beads from the 24th float of the Tucks parade, you may have gotten them straight from Rob Corddry (“The Daily Show”), Craig Robinson (“The Office”) or Clark Duke (“Greek”), stars of the upcoming comedy “Hot Tub Time Machine.” As the celebrity guests of the parade, the guys were around to talk, mostly about titties, before they got on their tub shaped float.

arcade: So are you guys here just for the Tucks parade? Are you going to any other parades?
Clark Duke: Probably the [Endymion] parade tonight. We don’t have anything to do tonight, so we’ll just hang out.

arcade: Did you go to any of yesterday’s parades?
Duke: No, we got in at midnight.
Craig Robinson: I was thinking of starting my own parade.

arcade: What are you going to call it?
Robinson: I was thinking of, like, “The Krewe of Craig.”
Duke: I’m going to call mine “Back and Forth Between Hotel Rooms at 1 a.m.” By the way, how terrifying are the hallways in our hotel? What is going on?
Robinson: Not nearly as terrifying as our furnace.
Duke: Our room feels like it’s haunted or something. The door of my room won’t close. I went all the way down to the lobby to get my sunglasses and when I came back it was wide open. And when I tried to shut it wouldn’t go.
Rob Corddry: Room 2803 at the Westin.
Duke: Is yours gigantic? I have this gigantic suite. There’s very little in it, because it’s hard to warm it up.
Robinson: Did you have a cheese plate in there?
Duke: Yes, I had some cheese. I can’t eat any of it because it’s like 60 degrees in there.  I also had a note from the front desk for a free pay-per-view movie. I love documentaries.

arcade: In your words, what is “Hot Tub Time Machine” about?
Corddry: It’s loosely based on the French film. But mostly it’s just a good time titty romp.
Duke: That’s actually dead on. A rocking titty romp.

arcade: What exactly makes a hot tub a time machine?
Corddry: You don’t go to the movies for the physics aspect of it. If you’re looking to go to figure out the time travel aspect, don’t. Go for the titties.
Duke: Go for the titties!

arcade: Are they good titties?
Corddry: Oh, I’m not going to fucking kid you when I say: probably best breasts in American film history.
Duke: Since Heather Graham in “Boogie Nights.”
Corddry: You think so?
Duke: Yeah, they have the best form and shape.
Robinson: We could go on and on about titties.  You guys should major in titties.

arcade: I think they’re opening that school at Tulane.
Corddry: So you guys go to Tulane? Now you go to college at a time pretty much when it’s just a girl-on-girl make-out session, right? Because I went to college at a time when they first discovered AIDS. So nothing too exciting happened.

arcade: What are the plans after “Hot Tub Time Machine?”
Robinson: Well, we’re planning the sequel, “Hot Tub Time Machine 2.”
Duke: Yeah, all we need is $30 million the first weekend. If you see under $20 million, there’s no hope for a sequel.
Robinson: Oh look, eighth-grade cheerleaders…
