@GalacticBloopy It's a common British phrase meaning to mock/joke about oneself (or others).

"takes the piss out of himself"? That's a phrase I've never heard before.

@GalacticBloopy so did I when I heard him on the directors commentary of Mallrats & Chasing Amy, where he takes the piss out of himself.

I have a new respect for Ben Affleck now. Didn't know he liked Pete so much.
