: I believe it was shot in the summer of 2000, and was edited very quickly after that (there aren't many special effects, and Bob and David have said post production went very very quickly. Point being, it's been done for a long time.
Check the link below; they were still shooting as of the beginning of December 2000. The fact is, they only started the test screening proccess around May or June, and even that was (obviously) not a final cut.
: The problem with the delay is that, while I think it will be hilarious whenever it comes out, the longer the delay, the more dated the material becomes, and that hurts the film in my opinion.
That's definitely true. If there's one thing about great comedy, it's that it doesn't age well. Just look at "Monty Python & The Holy Grail"! I mean, seriously, it's set somewhere in the 1200s! sooooo dated.
