With Situation Critical, we present people with various life situations—some joyous, some terrible, some bizarre—to find out what music they would turn to under those specific circumstances. This time, we spoke with comedian Hannibal Buress, who's currently starring in Comedy Central's great "Broad City" and has a new stand-up special, "Live From Chicago", that will air March 29 on the network. He's also will appear in the upcoming movies Neighbors with Seth Rogen and Zac Efron, and Flock of Dudes alongside Eric André and Hilary Duff. Check out Buress' current stand-up dates here.

You're in the bathroom stall in Target and there's no toilet paper...

"I'll Shit on You" by Eminem and D12. That'll give me the motivation to ask somebody outside the stall. I remember that actually happened when I was working [as a writer] at "30 Rock"—my stall was out of toilet paper, but I could hear that my boss was in there, so I had to be like, "Hey, Robert, it's Hannibal. Can I get some toilet paper, man?"

You're in the middle of a 16-hour plane ride...

I'm watching movies by then—you can't be fucking with music that long. But for the sake of the interview, I might play some shit that I don't normally play, like Uffie's "Pop the Glock".

Your girlfriend just broke up with you via Twitter...

The easy route would be to go with some Drake [laughs], I'm not going to go the Drake route. I'd do Thundercat's "Tron Song". It's about his cat, but you don't know it's about his cat.

You just got home on Friday night and you're super drunk...

Lil Wayne and Gucci Mane's "We Be Steady Mobbin'" is always hype. They played that at an afterparty for a Janelle Monàe concert in 2010, and when it came on, she was just so live. I'll never forget that, because she was still in her black-and-white tux. It stuck with me.

There's a funny video of Lil Wayne performing it at a DJ Khaled birthday party. All these people are on stage—Wiz Khalifa, Rick Ross, Wayne—and Khaled's, like, two feet away—texting. [laughs]

You got drafted into the military...

I would be pretty pissed, but I guess I'd have to get myself hyped to go over there, so I would play T.I.'s "I'm Illy".

You're headlining your biggest show ever and your name is misspelled on the marquee...

That still happens. Maybe I'd try to play something to relax, calm myself. Some smooth shit. Probably "Surfing on a Rocket" by Air.

A meteor is about to destroy Earth...

That's rough, man. Earl Sweatshirt had this weird-ass beat that kind of sounds like the end of the world on his track "Stapleton". The beat is so weird! And he just raps over it like it's regular and shit. Rappers can't break the rap fourth wall, or whatever.

Kanye West calls you on stage to perform a song with him...

What's my favorite Kanye track is that he doesn't really do live? Did you see the video of him at the Odd Future Carnival? They did "Late", and he didn't know the words because he hadn't done it in so long. "Late" is a dope track. Shit, this is tough! I have a lot of favorite Kanye songs. Goddamnit. "Stronger"! No, that's too typical. I like "Paranoid", but I wouldn't want to perform "Paranoid". Actually, "All of the Lights"! Because, on the Yeezus tour, he performed "All of the Lights" with fireworks on the mountain and everything, which was pretty crazy. So I would do that track just for the production of it.

You're performing open heart surgery...

It would be fun to do a goofy-ass song, like that mushrooms song from the first Eminem album, ["My Fault"]. Let's do that one just for fun!
