The woman laughingly saying "you're afraid of him, aren't ya?" Uh, yeah. He just smashed a window in order to get close enough to attack a random person. Chimps are one of the few animals that are intelligent enough to be capable of cruelty, and if you've ever seen the results of a chimp attack, it is absolutely brutal.
The worst thing is that chimps are very unlikely to harm you if you're actually in their habitat as a human. If you watch that Chimp netflix documentary and interviews with scientists and producers who made it, it shows they'll pretty much ignore you if you're in their habitat. Take them out of it and keep them confined and they're very different. Moral of the story, let them be what they are and they're fine. But that leads back to their intelligence, they fully understand keeping them captive is wrong. They fully understand if you're in their environment and mean no harm, they'll ignore you.
Yup, I'm a researcher in animal behaviour and welfare and Chimps are what scare me. I would rather be in a small room with a rhino, snakes.... alligator you name it... than a male adolescent chimp
I hear the story about chimps.. the one chimp used to have an owner. .. the owner would come give him birthday cakes and not get one for all the other chimps. One day the other chimps, saw the cake that wasn't for them, got jealous and fucked the chimp and the guy up I believe. Chimps are capable of some pretty intricate emotions, violence and reason for said violence.
Louis Theroux is such a good interviewer and how he stays so calm is incredible. He also points out the flaws in the arguments of small minded people so easily and is so polite even when being put in danger and being told terrifying things. He approached things open minded and you can tell he genuinely tries to understand and not mock people, even when they are disrespectful to him and hold questionable beliefs, to say the least.
Totally agree. He remains neutral up until the point he needs to ask the brutal questions, even if he knows it will make himself uncomfortable asking them. It's what journalism about I suppose.
Louis is a clever interviewer, he'll often asks questions that seem stupid but he does it to provoke some kind of a reaction. He'll also often not say anything in response to his questions, so that the person he's interviewing feels compelled to keep talking and possibly reveal stuff they wouldn't ordinarily say. The clever part is knowing when to use these tactics.
Add that Louis looks like an innocent nerd & the people he interviews automatically think they are smarter. . & they stuff up. Kudos Louis, love your work. 👍🇦🇺
@@Aivottaja you can call it that, but in all louis doc/interviews you're waiting for him to get to the hard biting questions. He builds up his questions, probably purposefully naively. If he drops in the big knee jerk reaction questions too early it would scare off the interviewee to answer more.
Hes funny and entertaining, but he’s not a serious journalist. He’s based his career on making fun of Americans to the delight of boring Britian. And while he never befriended Americans who showed him love, like the monster truck people he did a piece on, he did befriend the pedo rapist Jimmy Saville, because that was one of the only British people he did an episode on.
I love Louis Theroux to bits. He puts himself into life-threatening situations that make you wonder whether he is a slave to entertaining his viewers - or whether he truly has a death wish? He never shows he's scared of any of the crazy places he visits (Johannesburg - jeezus?!!!) and he is so polite and self-deprecating he doesn't really upset anyone, not even that crazy Wesboro' "church" mob who invited him back three times. It's hard not to be impressed by this lovely man.
@@suzawilo Whoa! Easy, big fella! Relax a bit. Unclench your anus. I do not think that what she meant by the term 'slave' is we are all 'slaves' to money and our government. Or being owned by someone and you are forced to work for next to nothing daily (That still actually sounds the same as being owned by our government and being slaves for them to take our money) I think she was using the word slave as a term more like 'he is a slave to entertain people who watch his documentaries' or a slave to the rush/high/excitement one might get out of being in a dangerous situation for his job.' No need to roll your eyes and get so uptight.
Trying to find a clip of Louis visit to the brothel. It was one of the best episodes because of the friendship he developed with Hayley. When she came back after being fired, he literally said to her " it was quiet without you here" in other words he missed her. And she really liked him 😊 it was sweet. I hope he kept in contact with her.
He tried to get back in touch with her. He did a book years later that revisited a lot of people involved with his weird weekend interviews, especially in the states. Its called 'The Call of the Weird' as he felt drawn to go back and revisit these people (especially as it would make a good book). He asked around a few brothels (as you do) and I think he just missed her at one by a week or so. She was getting thrown out of them for getting drunk or high and being rude to clients and pissing off all the other workers. She did not seem like she was well liked amongst her peers or employers (especially when off her face). Her and Luis did seem to have rapport and chemistry (who know what Luis might have done in the name of research if he didnt have a GF at the time) but she wasn't a nice person from the sounds of it from other people's accounts of events.
Louis is one of those sorts of interviewers who will go to the situation and ask "tell me why you feel this way", putting across a more empathetic style as opposed to so many who would want to be confrontational.
Louis really reminds me of my brother (also a journalist). He's super disarming and has a way of coming off as naive and innocent when he's interviewing people that just catches them off guard and makes them open up even on difficult topics. He's nothing like that in reality, he's a very normal and goofy person lol, but he has the technique for interviewing people and getting their real selves to come out. It takes real talent and intellect to be able to turn that on and off.

So in this case "spoken like a true pimp" "spoken by a real pimp" is more like to say that, that kind of behavior fits a pimp to a T
In that Pedophile episode, Louis found that one of the pedo's had a picture of a young male dancer in tights on his wall and pointed it out to the staff. The pedo said: "I just like the shape of the dancer" or something like that. Yeah right... So Louis brought it up to the staff and the staff all of a sudden decided it was inappropriate and they decided to take it down. Yeah, no sh!t it's inappropriate. That whole episode was an uncomfortable watch, but that stuck with me as it showed how something can seem right from the people inside a situation and then an outside person gives a completely different perspective on how wrong something actually is.
@@blastofoJimmy Saville was NEVER his friend and in the episode he filmed with him, Louis directly asks him about the allegations (rumours) at the time & stated he didn't believe Saville as well as Saville making him feel very uncomfortable- get your story correct you idiot
The key to Theroux's journalism is his calm openness. He talks to aggressive and hostile people, who have the ability to work *themselves* up into fight mode. But he just doesn't bite. And they drop their guard, and give more because of that.
Because he exposes evil for what it is and his camera is his shield & sword Notice how the cowards won’t do a thing if they know they are being watched? But Prisoners, those situations could have been more dangerous since many may feel they have “nothing to lose” and attack regardless of the camera
@@soeffingwhat …….I feel you missed my point? I know both he and his cameraman are putting themselves at risk, but my point was that if they weren’t filming and/or had lawful evidence, some of the people being filmed may have been more aggressive?
So true. Louis is so clever. He is Mr Mild Man on the outside with balls of steel on the inside. His mild-mannered "wimp" exterior gets him everywhere he needs to go. He's brilliant IMHO.
As an avid self-proclaimed Documentary Geek, Louis is one of my favourite documentary makers. He rarely goes in with the killer questions although sometimes, he has no other option, taking the 'Are you a p....' question he asked Savile as a prime example. He generally always goes in with a softly softly approach, allowing people to feel comfortable with the conversation whilst gradually giving the more and more rope on which they inevitably hang themselves with. Likewise, if he's covering topics such as Mental Health or Mothers who struggle to bond with their children, his level of empathy without being either patronising or judgemental is joy to watch. I call him a fence sitter and that's how all good Documentary makers should be, leave your own opinions and judgements at home, no matter how strongly you feel about the subject and allow them to take the narrative in their direction. I did shake my head however when he did the Documentary on Scientology. I've seen 100's on that cult and every one turns out the same; Scientology just put up a brick wall and no matter what, no one can even ask intelligent questions let alone get a vaguely intelligent answer from them. They cost John Sweeney, an equally fantastic Documentary maker/Investigative Reporter his career on the BBC in the early 2000's. he self funds a lot of his work now and is doing some great work.
scientology like Mormonism are cults , therefore are no good . latest discoveries show they are deeply into satanism. as for mormons well a mormon admitted herself they believe that Jesus christ and satan ( his ennemy) are in fact...BROTHERS. satan is also revered in thst religion of fake !
You may want to check out some of Stacey Dooley's Doco's. She started out on Blood, Sweat & T-Shirts; showing teens how fashion is made in poor countries. And was proper affected. She's gone on to do some hard-hitting stuff, feat. Thailand, Republic of Congo, Cambodia. Some of her Investigations stayed with me 😢 💔
@@LilyGothI tried but she's a ridiculous documentary maker in my opinion. The prime example would be when she interviewed little Tommy ten names and all she did is shout over him for being a racist, which he is but as I said in my previous comment, ask the right questions, keep calm and he definitely would've hung himself. She only got that interview because they went to school together but she made herself look a bigger idiot than he did! Most of her other documentaries all she ever does is repeat what people are saying back to them, there's no substance or intelligence to anything she does.
Louis is a bloody hero. To be visibly so scared, and who can blame him, in these situations yet still crack on and play the scenes out shows amazing courage.
I don’t know if it’s still there or not but a few years ago I watched a good few of Louis’s documentaries on Netflix and tbh I don’t know how he’s still going
It’s almost amusing to see the way Louise Theroux appears to quietly bait some of the people he is interviewing.He many times however asks pertinent questions, and unfortunately that’s when many of the wrong doers start to get agitated,and threaten to turn hostile.A good compilation of Louise work.
I would smash a few windows too if I were a chimp forced to live in Someone's home. Don't get me started on that Lion hunting..... That said, I love Louis!
I live in Sydney, Oz, and I have friends from Jo'burg. They were car-jacked at gun point the last time they went home for a visit. That was almost 20 years ago and they say they will never go back. I'm an expat Brit/Londoner and I can't imagine being too frightened to go home for a visit.
Oops. We moved to Johannesburg three years ago. The Westrand, known as the Woesrand. But we travel all over Joburg, and make sure to try not to travel at night after 10. Having lived in " safer" places, Cape Town and the Garden Route, we've adapted very quickly. I think I would be more scared to stay in some American cities, where the gangs, religious fanatics and neo Nazis are. Also, we have fallen asleep here, forgetting to lock the back and front doors, the first time we forgot to lock our balcony door in Lakeside, Cape Town, an intruder came in over an 8 foot wall with glass embedded in it - luckily one of my daxies who was sleeping in the bed woke up and set the others off, and I think the intruder should have applied to the Olympics, because he cleared that wall in one giant leap!
Louis to me is like a Forest Gump, but walking into dangerous situations. He always seems surprised to the questions like " you kill people?" Answer "yes!". Louis you clearly put yourself there, so don't be shocked or surprised at the environment, you clearly put yourself in!!😅😅😅
That is so true and yet while we all know what Louis is thinking, he never seems to seriously upset anyone. I mean, that loopy Wesboro Baptist Church mob invited him back 3 times unaware that he was totally grossed out by their beliefs. Love Louis to bits. He's a star. xxx
@@SuzyQ334 Don't forget the nazi family who accused him of "being a jew" because of their hatred. They're disgusting like the Westboro..anyone who doesn't align with them is assumed to be the enemy. So insecure, deranged, and despicable. Glad Louis stood his ground and told them it doesn't matter if he's jewish or not.
@@shaunosmorrison8385 honestly when I made this comment I thought Louis theroux just happened to look like the guy who rapped that song…I did a quick google search after and realized he IS in fact the guy who raps that song.
For me the most terrifying/hilariously inappropriate moment was in A place for Pedophiles. There’s a moment when the inmates are setting up for a Halloween party and there’s some of the inmates around a piano singing The Addams Family’s theme tune, the line that stands out is “we’re creepy and we’re kooky”
For me the most terrifying thing that he did was meet the gangster malaven in joburg. If genuinely believe if that was not a public place, he would have tried to kill them and take their stuff
Louis is a brave guy with big balls. A real journalist that goes out and discovers real stories and shows them unbiased. These journalists are becoming extinct as many just work from home, spreading fake news on the internet they've read and dont get off thier asses. Louis, your a star. He should be recognised by magnum agency for his videography work.
8:27 - "it's no little known fact," so, it is a well known fact? Or did you mean "it's a little known fact" lol 🤔 They mean totally opposite things, got my head spinning lol 😆
Just confirms what I have always believed, if you kick rocks over you are going to often find creepy things. Most of the people he interviews are so horrendously damaged, there is little to be learnt from them other than as cautionary tales.
His documentary on Scientology is nothing short of genius. He turned all their ridiculous tactics around on them. He clearly had done his homework on their methods - even if that was just watching the failed BBC documentary - and he came out on top. It was a pleasure to watch.
I remember I watched one of his documentary on BBC i think, and I forgot about what. And I fell in love with him after even though I haven't watched any of his documentaries or interviews after that.

@ David Z3I cannot find any full length docus from Louis Theroux😢
Maybe britbox would have them. There’s a free one as well as the one you can pay for if you Google it
3 Documentaries? he just loves those people!
@@captainpinky8307 They're very entertaining!
All the clips from the Scientology movie are priceless and filled with shenanigans. Not scary, though!
Of all these places; Johannesburg would absolutely be the most scary place to be.
I live in Sydney, Oz, and I have friends from Jo'burg. They were car-jacked at gun point the last time they went home for a visit. That was almost 20 years ago and they say they will never go back. I'm an expat Brit/Londoner and I can't imagine being too frightened to go home for a visit.
Oops. We moved to Johannesburg three years ago. The Westrand, known as the Woesrand. But we travel all over Joburg, and make sure to try not to travel at night after 10. Having lived in " safer" places, Cape Town and the Garden Route, we've adapted very quickly. I think I would be more scared to stay in some American cities, where the gangs, religious fanatics and neo Nazis are.
Also, we have fallen asleep here, forgetting to lock the back and front doors, the first time we forgot to lock our balcony door in Lakeside, Cape Town, an intruder came in over an 8 foot wall with glass embedded in it - luckily one of my daxies who was sleeping in the bed woke up and set the others off, and I think the intruder should have applied to the Olympics, because he cleared that wall in one giant leap!
@@CandyGirl44 neo nazis 😮
Louis to me is like a Forest Gump, but walking into dangerous situations. He always seems surprised to the questions like " you kill people?" Answer "yes!". Louis you clearly put yourself there, so don't be shocked or surprised at the environment, you clearly put yourself in!!😅😅😅
I love Louis, he's such a great guy. I've seen all his documentaries, and Mojo is right, he's met some pretty despicable characters
he was in the royal box at wimbledon the other day with the duke of kent ...thats pretty despicable character !
@@krishnan-resurrection714 ?
I know nothing about that lol
That is so true and yet while we all know what Louis is thinking, he never seems to seriously upset anyone. I mean, that loopy Wesboro Baptist Church mob invited him back 3 times unaware that he was totally grossed out by their beliefs. Love Louis to bits. He's a star. xxx
@@SuzyQ334 Don't forget the nazi family who accused him of "being a jew" because of their hatred. They're disgusting like the Westboro..anyone who doesn't align with them is assumed to be the enemy. So insecure, deranged, and despicable. Glad Louis stood his ground and told them it doesn't matter if he's jewish or not.
@@krishnan-resurrection714 why is Duke of Kent despicable?
this guy has a set of grade A brass ones
I love Louis Theroux 💎 he is such a good interviewer, has a sense of humour, and is very courageous
Nicely put.
@@SuzyQ334 Thank you!
@@braxfan683 You're welcome. 😅
Louis is a legend of the screen. Similar league to that of David Attenborough.
Louis has been in some weird situations!
Top 10 WTF Louis Theroux Moments
th-cam.com/video/Q2LWaOTiuDg/w-d-xo.html
Savile was not convicted of any crimes
A few Weird Weekends
I like him better when he’s rapping “my money don’t jiggle jiggle”
I've heard that song a few times but never realized he was in it lol
@@shaunosmorrison8385 honestly when I made this comment I thought Louis theroux just happened to look like the guy who rapped that song…I did a quick google search after and realized he IS in fact the guy who raps that song.
@@GhostOfJohnLennon😂🙈
“It folds”
Lol, the dude's a national treasure!😂👍
Louis Theroux and Ross kemp are fearless badasses
Louis treats humans as humans no matter what and its amazing.
For me the most terrifying/hilariously inappropriate moment was in A place for Pedophiles. There’s a moment when the inmates are setting up for a Halloween party and there’s some of the inmates around a piano singing The Addams Family’s theme tune, the line that stands out is “we’re creepy and we’re kooky”
Louis a LEG, Superb journalist
Re. Johannesburg: Maybe they quickly turn into riots because the police keep firing rubber bullets at them?
Love this guy. He’s got quite a set on him too !
For me the most terrifying thing that he did was meet the gangster malaven in joburg. If genuinely believe if that was not a public place, he would have tried to kill them and take their stuff
Louis is a brave guy with big balls. A real journalist that goes out and discovers real stories and shows them unbiased. These journalists are becoming extinct as many just work from home, spreading fake news on the internet they've read and dont get off thier asses. Louis, your a star. He should be recognised by magnum agency for his videography work.
It was scary in the Baptist Westboro script.
8:27 - "it's no little known fact," so, it is a well known fact? Or did you mean "it's a little known fact" lol 🤔
They mean totally opposite things, got my head spinning lol 😆
1:55 wrestler being the tough guys until mma fighters came along 😂
Why is he looking at us like that? He thinks you're a plate of food 😂
'How much?'
'Nothin."
'Sir, do you know how yes/no questions work?'
Gee I wonder why he felt no love from the loins that he's breading into slavery just to " hunted"...smh
Broken Humans
We all love Louis
How about LT’s rap? You dropped the ball right there WM
The only time Scientology gives up is when they talk to Louis
I would put the interview with Eugene Terreblanche and the meeting with Maleven in South Africa in the top 20.
I love this guy! I would like to see the docu when he lived with Saville. But I think because of who Saville was!
I have that interview, send me an email if you want. Hopwe I can help.
6:52 - South Africa has 3 capitals and Johannesburg isn't even one of them.
Cape Town, Pretoria, and Bloemfontein.
Just confirms what I have always believed, if you kick rocks over you are going to often find creepy things. Most of the people he interviews are so horrendously damaged, there is little to be learnt from them other than as cautionary tales.
That's not true. There's a lot to learn.
Know thy enemy.
His documentary on Scientology is nothing short of genius. He turned all their ridiculous tactics around on them. He clearly had done his homework on their methods - even if that was just watching the failed BBC documentary - and he came out on top. It was a pleasure to watch.
He’s a good bloke he has to ask the dumb questions for the viewers
Never ever heard him ask a dumb question tbh
Alot of journalist could learn alot from Louies non biased approach to his interviews a true proffessional at his craft
The best journalist in the world, non stop
I grew up on watchmojo and just clocked the smiley face
11:02 i don't know why but the speed which he opens his tent cracks me up, he just appears like a zombie 😂
That first clip made me laugh when he said about giving her money back with a dead pan face
Johannesburg makes Los Angeles look peaceful
I came to this video because of the Tom Cardy song "Get Louis Theroux It".
The background music is painful
all i know is this dudes money doesnt jiggle jiggle, but rather it tends to fold.
Some of those inmates should come with subtitles
04:24 ....Who farted??!!😂
Wonderful journalist for decades now.
Love this guy
You talk over the best parts
You know a guy is serious when even in prison he has to disguise himself. 3:12
“Are you so stoopid”. To a Cambridge graduate. 😂
How in the world was Huntington rated as more dangerous than a chimpanzee??? Or even Johannesburg, or the potential riot in Nigeria???
When you owe £0.00 in tax and you still have to fill in a form for HMRC 1:37
The two guys in the South Africa episode who say "We put your baby in the oven, then you know we want money" should be number 1.
I remember I watched one of his documentary on BBC i think, and I forgot about what. And I fell in love with him after even though I haven't watched any of his documentaries or interviews after that.
Louis is a legend.
"lions dont love us so I'm gonna kill them" is a wild yet honest take
What compels people to keep chimps as dangerous pets? Louis looks into America's..." Hold it right there. That's your answer.
That background music is bloody annoying,, can´t bear to watch to finish
Lol at the dood hiding his face with a tattoo on his hand 3:09
The Jimmy Savile doc was interesting
