Not sure about that scene but he ad-libed this whole scene.



They don't make this level of talent at his age anymore.



Eddie Murphy improvised much of his comic lines, as did John Ashton and Judge Reinhold. Literally hundreds of takes were ruined by cast members or actors or the director himself, who were unable to stop laughing during shooting because of this. "During the "super-cops" monologue, John Ashton (John Taggart) is pinching his face hard and looking down in apparent frustration. If you look closely, you can see that he is actually laughing. Reinhold put his hand in his pocket and pinched his thigh really hard to prevent himself from laughing." /IMDB Trivia

lol @ 0.54 he is cracking up lol

Superbad was mostly ad-lib.
Yeah most of the Apatow movies are adlibs because he's such a shytty director, by his own admission :mjlol:. If you look at the DVD extras a bunch of scenes have TONS of distinct takes.

Iron-Man 1 was heavily adlibbed too. They couldn't finish the script in time so they just said fukk it and wrote loose outlines of the scenes instead.
