    At a concert in Adelaide AU he stopped midway through a song and told the audience he had a funny thought "A dyslexic devil worshipper sold his soul to Santa", and just picked up and continued where they left off.

    I love how he wants to be funny and silly but he's so generally anxious that he always just ditches and goes back to being straight faced. It's hard to articulate but as someone with a similar disposition its very easy to notice.

      Yes i think so too. People might label as thats just how he chooses to present himself, but honestly it just comes down to being awkward. But its very refreshing to see that from someone who is supposed to be a cocky rockstar

      I've been scrolling through the comments hoping that someone would mention what it is. It's amazing and weird and I'd love to see more of it if I knew what it is.

    How the fuck did Robert make it through the interview with the Greek presenter at around 7:00 to 8:00. It would have been excruciating. But he somehow nailed it. I think Robert likes a drink, and it helps.
