+Joe Blow Very much genius. And to boot, Guest is just making his lines up as he carries on too. They all do. There is absolutely no script. No rehearsal. There's just a general idea what the movie is about and how each scene is supposed to go. That's it. 100% genius. I imagine Chris Guest and Jamie Lee Curtis have very talented kids ;)
+Joe Blow absolutely! i majored in drama education (en route to a teaching credential in english). i really liked improv classes cuz they required very quick thinking. the actors really didn't like them at all. Guest, McKean et al. are all brilliant. they also use improv to best effect... building on what's gone on before them in adding to the inanities. you can't do that unless you have razor sharp minds.
I like how Chris sped up Nigel’s usual slow thoughtful delivery. Like he is so passionate about Stonehenge that his excitement has exponentially increased
Never seen this one. Lol moments galore. As usual Nigel is hilarious, but it’s the “acting is reacting” from the interviewer that really takes this from a 10 out of 10, and turns it up to 11.
Lol, Nigel (Christopher Guest) is absolutely hilarious in every interview, far better than the other members of the "band", not to say the others are "bad" it's just his delivery and his absolute sincerity in what he says and his comedic timing is just fantastic! If you didn't know this was a character you might actually believe he was a real rock star and he was really this umm "naive" lol. Why didn't aliens build stonehenge? Nigel's answer? The weather lol.
That's Jim Piddock interviewing, right? Can't tell without the accent. These guys (Guest, Levy, McKean, O'hara, Shearer etc) are so exceptionally brilliant. To improvise all these scenes in all these films... on top of being so musically talented is almost an impossible act to follow.
Also, Lisa Coolidge. I may have her first name wrong. But I'll never forget her line in a Guest movie saying, "The Latin people" while sipping wine through a straw.
Never seen this before! Do the other parts exist? "it's the first thing you learn in school... drool, peat, rain.. stone. yeah" hahaha classic Tufnel knowledge!
Well it's obvious isn't it? Where do rocks come from? Small stones which grow. So they only had to put small rocks there. Back before the dawn of history. Where do you think beach pebbles come from? Grown from sand! It's all taught at school.
@@Surv1ve_Thrive The big school word for it is accretion. So, its possible but I have seen the petrified forest (in pictures obvs) so I am going with wood to stone conversion.
@6669990 It was in the newspapers there is a new archaeological survey and they found evidence that the inner circle, the older part was originally wooden before being replaced by Welsh blue stone. From what they can tell it was wooden for over 100 years.
Most of the "Nigel" appearances aren't very good when the rest of "Spinal Tap" isn't there, he works best when he has someone to play off. But this interviewer actually did a really good job as the setup man.
I should be able to help I have been to the visitor centre at Stonehenge 25 times and always listen to the audio guide headphones so I know quite a bit. They only ever have the Japanese language headphones when I am there though. I dont speak any Japanese unfortunately. But what he said seems to chime pretty well from what I can understand of that Japanese commentary. It dovetails. So I think Nigel is on the right track.
This reminds me of the infamous Tom Cruise, Matt Lauer interview where Tom Cruise is explaining his views on medication and how "Matt doesn't know the history of psychology," but Tom does. The sad thing is that Tom Cruise was not acting stupid for laughs. If you haven't seen it, watch it right after this video. The similarities are hilarious.

Nigel is so logical.
It's like, how much more logical could this be?
And the answer is none. None more logical.
I understood that reference.
his logic goes to 11, innit?
The Pentagon has confirmed UAPs built Stonehenge.
Logic worthy of Doctor Spock, playing trivial pursuits and listening to The Eagles.
@@kcuhc84 Doctor Spock was a real person who never flew on The Enterprise.
"They built the pyramids for sure, but they had nothing to do with Stonehenge." Genius.
Amazing...I can still hear the sustain.
It's still ringing in 2017. You have to ask yourself, just how much more sustain can there be? The answer is none. None more sustain.
That's because it's in Dobly
It was a pretty nice Les Paul.
Wahhhhhh!
Don't. Don't even listen. Don't even listen to it.
Nigel's IQ goes up to 11
Killin it
Just barely though.
10 means the maximum
all the way up
And can only go up to 11.
You might not think it, but it takes someone fairly intelligent to play someone so hilariously stupid. This guy is a genius.

Sorry, but no kids, they adopted instead. Oh, well.
What do you mean by "to play someone"??? I see no reason to insult Nigel!
He is and he has been for years check out his debut at the end of death wish.
"I had no intention of saying UFO." "You just did!"
Walk right into his trap
"Can I ask you a question?"
I like how Chris sped up Nigel’s usual slow thoughtful delivery. Like he is so passionate about Stonehenge that his excitement has exponentially increased
He’s been doing him for well over half his life. Who’s to say where Chris ends and Nigel begins anymore? Hell, I wonder if he dreams in Nigel.
@@averyellis i think he dreams in Doubly
"Aliens had nothing to do with Stonehenge...but they built the pyramids for sure"
Haha :-)
"I don't think so, it's a little chilly"
story of my life
Never seen this one. Lol moments galore.
As usual Nigel is hilarious, but it’s the “acting is reacting” from the interviewer that really takes this from a 10 out of 10, and turns it up to 11.
"It’s the first thing you learn at school". Well, that shows again what kind of shoddy school I had to attend...
Without this kind of logic where can you go? Nowhere, exactly
Exactly & how would your gps work in nowhere?
Poor Nigel - these days flat earthers are out-Nigeling Nigel. Nigel is a voice of sanity by comparison!
And Republicans 🙄
the raised eye brows at 1:01 is absolutely brilliant!
I love the way he slips in "they built the pyramids for sure". I thought it was strange that he was actually making sense, knew it couldn't last long.
Lol, Nigel (Christopher Guest) is absolutely hilarious in every interview, far better than the other members of the "band", not to say the others are "bad" it's just his delivery and his absolute sincerity in what he says and his comedic timing is just fantastic!

Makes sense when you think about it
Christopher Guest had to work at this stagecraft. For Jeff Beck it came naturally LOL.
the first time I watched an actual interview with Mr Guest I was so impressed at how well he embodies dumb British rock star
That's Jim Piddock interviewing, right? Can't tell without the accent.

OMG. Nigel's thought perception is truly beyond human comprehension.
Never seen this before! Do the other parts exist?
"it's the first thing you learn in school... drool, peat, rain.. stone. yeah" hahaha classic Tufnel knowledge!
First thing you learnt at school: Drool, peat, rain, stone. Obvious when you think about it.
Have you noticed that if you take the top stone off each of the Stonehenge tryptics, what do you get?
Eleven, eleven, eleven....
TomthatiscalledTom - LMAO! Can totally hear Nigel's voice saying that too. Then David St. Hubbins chips in - _"Rock and more rock."_
😦
That's why drummers keep combusting...
...when both sticks go up...
Whoa...
Yes, you get 11, but what happened to the henge? To this day henge is a lost word. Or did ancient visitors steal iT as a souvenir.
But what about the Druids?! Could it be that they were able to transform into dinosaurs, just to drool all over Stonehenge?
Diego Mattos the druids put the wood up.
The Angles were later invaders. It was definitely drooling dinosaur druids what built stone ‘enge.
But flour is white. I’m confused. Almost as confused as Nigel. But not quite.
@Diego M. The Droolids?
Well duh. The dinosaurs were the druids animal companion of course.
The thing is, the sight had structures made of wood built on it before the stones were placed there, so....he’s not completely wrong.
And before that, it was a manicured row of bushes. Hedgehenge.
KIng Aurthur hauled those stones up there for the Knights Who Say Nee. It's all right there in the movie, really.
Well it's obvious isn't it? Where do rocks come from? Small stones which grow. So they only had to put small rocks there. Back before the dawn of history. Where do you think beach pebbles come from? Grown from sand! It's all taught at school.
@@Surv1ve_Thrive Small stones that grow? So they really could have started out being 18" tall?
@@Surv1ve_Thrive The big school word for it is accretion. So, its possible but I have seen the petrified forest (in pictures obvs) so I am going with wood to stone conversion.
Nigel is just brilliant, love him❤
That's incredibly funny! Nigel has an amazing sense of humor
The trouble is ; he's not trying to be funny
@@daneenmurf1043 He's trolling - lol. He seriously is.
This was no. 5 of a 42-part interview that took 7 years to complete.
Is that the periodic table of elements on his shirt? That's gold!
Gold and ten other elements.
(The table goes to 11, my friend)
👾🥇🔺👽‼️🤔😎
No we're not gonna do bloody Stonehenge!!!
sublime as always.
Drooling all over the place got me laughing.
such a great improviser!
This should be in the history books.
He says it so convincingly that I have to wonder.
I honestly think he's on to something.
Drool + peat + rain = Stonehenge.
Makes perfect sense.
The Stonehenge Effect.. goes eleven.
You can say saliva, but where does come from? HELLO. DINOSAURS!
Nigel is just auditioning to be the host of literally any “History” Channel series.
Guess what, they found a wooden version under the stones. Nigel was right!
How have I gone all my life never seeing this?! Brilliant.
he's so wise
Haha, it's the first thing you learn in school!
Spinal Tap had Stone Henge built... I saw it in a documentary. Tufnel's trying to pull a fast one...
Thank goodness for model Stonehenge, otherwise they never would have gotten the idea for big Stonehenge.
@6669990 It was in the newspapers there is a new archaeological survey and they found evidence that the inner circle, the older part was originally wooden before being replaced by Welsh blue stone. From what they can tell it was wooden for over 100 years.
Every time he says saliva, I laugh out loud.
this helped me with my project :D thx
That accent is something else Nigel is a legend
This is the most logical thing I have seen.
"and, don't say. "aliens." "No. I wasn't even going to suggest. aliens." "there. ya are...ya just did..."
just realized the interviewer is the same actor as Fred Ward’s co-commentator in Best in Show 😂
I always had lot of trouble learning to rain when I was in school.
The whole operation was quite likely managed by the pterodactyls, flying overhead overhead and barking out instructions!
MORE NIGEL PLEASE 🙏🏻
There’s something missing… something missing….his inflections are brilliant!
Most of the "Nigel" appearances aren't very good when the rest of "Spinal Tap" isn't there, he works best when he has someone to play off. But this interviewer actually did a really good job as the setup man.
they've often worked together in other projects of Guest's.
He was perfect. iT were as iF he was the reflection of one of the henges.
Not only was the Stonehenge chilly it was full of dinosaurs.
Laughed out loud for the first time since the first film
Need to get out more

Genius.
OMG, I have Nigel's exact same t-shirt! I knew we were soulmates!
Fascinating
Nigel is right on Stonehenge.
This interview is part two of a four part trilogy. Let's see the rest, please
The eleven part trilogy is Nigel's trademark.
Guests comedic timing is unreal
Hes right about it being cold where stonehenge is. When i went it was the coldest ive ever experienced in my life.
The lit-ooh pee pull of Stone Hendge built Stone Hendge!!!
wow this guy is funny.
1:20 = hilarity
You can laugh but he's right about the aliens finding Salisbury too chilly
This reminds me of the infamous Tom Cruise, Matt Lauer interview where Tom Cruise is explaining his views on medication and how "Matt doesn't know the history of psychology," but Tom does. The sad thing is that Tom Cruise was not acting stupid for laughs. If you haven't seen it, watch it right after this video. The similarities are hilarious.
It is eerie!
tom cruise is a scary goof that's why I don't want to know him
Well, Tom knows that Scientology is real!
... he read the pamphlet and was immediately convinced =)
Hard to argue with the logic.
It's quite easy to argue with the logic. It's just hard to argue with Nigel :)
It's a fine line between cleaver and stupid, Nigel is firmly on one side of that line!
This guy is an entertainer. To someone.
I would love to hear Nigel explains Corona. Maybe his theory would be close to some conspiracy guys.
As soon as he said rain, peat and saliva my first thought was "peat!?"
Can I raise a practical question at this point?
Are we doing Stone'enge tomorrow?
you can't argue with that
Aliens build the pyramids but they had nothing to do with Stonehenge lol
Don't know what he's taking but I want some. Looks like a trip
Nigel Tufnel needs to be interviewed by Philomena Cunk.
They really put Stonehenge on the map.
Well, I asked the fairies at the bottom of my garden and they said he is right, that's good enough for me!
Heroin has really taken its toll on Nigel.
The real Stonehenge is much smaller than the one in Salisbury. In fact, it's about 1/10th the size
Nigel is in reality Paul Simon with a wig.
Stone Henge! Where the daemons dwell, where the banshees live and they do live well
"There was a very real possibility of it being crushed by a DWARF!"
when the dwarves emerge and start dancing is still one of my all-time favourite moments
Where a man's a man and the children dance to the pipes of pan...
I love the "& they do live well"..🤔🤣😆😂😅
Very clever something you don't hear to often comedy that's actually funny.
This is exactly what rock fans think.
wood, peat, saliva . . . rock. Brilliant, in'iT?
Salisbury really is a bit chilly for aliens.
I’m convinced that Philomena Cunk is Nigel Tufnel’s love child. It must have been on Shark Sandwich tour.
< < < Our silly band loves you Nigel!
This is exactly why the aliens are not behind Thor's hammer, Ragnarok or Yggdrasil. Even more chilly.
I'm convinced.
Reminds me of Jack Nicholson telling ( stoned) Dennis Hopper about space aliens in the movie “ EASYRIDER,”
Complicated Artist 😮
Ok, but why is Nigel interviewed by Leonard Crabbe (Mickey's husband)?
Ring ring ring. Hello? It's for you Christopher Guest. It's Michael Caine on the line. He wants his voice back...
Hahahaha!!!! Soooo brilliant
Of course!
I should have known before!
lmao at the national geographic logo in the corner
Tyler Durden This actually was from National Geographic. They made these vids to promote a Stonehenge special they had coming up.
It makes as much sense as anything else.
