Best of Werner Herzog

- Be aware, there is an essential truth and beauty in all things. From the death throes of a speared gazelle to the damaged smile of a freeway homeless. But that does not mean that the invisibility of something implies its lack of being. Though simpleton babies foolishly believe the person before them vanishes when they cover their eyes during a hateful game of peek-a-boo, this is a fallacy. And so it is that the unseen dusty build up that accumulates behind the DVD shelves in the rumpus room exists also. This is unacceptable.

There is something unendingly satisfying about Herzog making Elon Musk confused and uncomfortable by just brazenly declaring he would go to Mars, and "wouldn't have a problem" with it.
I think he pleased him. Elon was confused at first, yes, but then he realized he was being complimented :)
> stage interview
> say you wouldn't have a problem on mars
> refuse to elaborate
@@MrGrace Werner Herzog is hardly a Musk fan so I doubt it.

@American Hero Well, Putin is somewhat less insufferable than the self congratulatory tech bro culture.
"It's something very exhilarating for a man to be shot at with little success"
I can't even 😂
Well, what else would you call that one scene in breaking bad?
@@ironwraith852 Yeah, but this is real life. And Werner Herzog is an absolute legend larger than life.
@@Pfromm007 Yeah, I hadn't gotten to that point in the video at that time. Really gotta stop doing that.
That interview is available on TH-cam. When at the hospital/closest shelter, this gem of a conversation takes place:
Interviewer: You have a bullet in your stomach!
Werner: That is insignificant.
hey isnt that a churchill quote? "Nothing in life is so exhilarating as to be shot at without result." wich actually just means that the sound of bullets passing overhead is terrifing
I will put all of my funds towards paying Werner Herzog to narrate my funeral. No script, just riff and depress the guests
I think that stupidity speech about chickens will do for my funeral. I'll just let them leave my eyes open or have some huge picture of me so that they can look straight into my eyes.
“Here lies John Doe, who in life is overwhelmingly fornicated by the vicissitudes of fate, as though he is but a cog in this meaningless ruse, clinging on to this hapless farce which he had toiled in vain to imbue with meaning. I will miss him dearly.”
These comments are gold!
He did a funeral speech for Les Blank which was anything but depressing. It's on youtube.
is this my favourite comment all time on this webcite?
yeehah .
If you say "impending doom" three times, Werner Herzog appears.
I summoned Werner Herzog at 3am. I need help. Dude wouldn't even let me eat a banana without going wax lyrical about the pointlessness of pleasure.
“Try to look a chicken in the eye with great intensity”
As someone who's raised chickens, he ain't wrong.
@@christopherhelton6999they wouldn’t take it as a threat? I’ve encountered roosters that really didn’t appreciate my presence
Literally anything this guy says is gold.
Only Werner Herzog would approach getting shot with all the frustration of someone who stepped on a Lego
That's some Theodore Roosevelt tier constitution..
just part of the folklore here
"It was not a serious bullet."
The human experience is a spectrum. Some people take 13 9 mm to the chest and keep walking. I’ve never seen anyone step on a Lego and not immediately restrain themselves from demolishing the nearest piece of drywall
It was a .177 pellet, I removed one from the corner of my eye.
Herzog...
Sees a bear: *Has an existential crisis*
Gets shot: Hahahahaha
😂😂😂😂😂
Sees a chicken: *Goes insane*
Werner Herzog is proof that the intrusive thoughts winning doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing.
This is something Werner himself would have said. Well done.
I feel that Wener intrudes on his own intrusive thoughts, and claimed them as his internalized and formed thoughts, as the words and thoughts pass by him.
“It’s a grotesque parody of the Bazaar at Marekesh. As if dumb animals had been granted only the amount of sentience required to mock humanity.” - Yelp review from Werner
Written by a comedian doing an impression of him but it’s perfect
That entire podcast is unbelievably funny.
Holy fuck that is an exquisite sentence.
Sir, this is a Taco Bell.
@@Bloodletter8 lol

“This is not a serious bullet.”
The bullet is not made in German 😆
A man who is no doubt dissapointed that his predictions for society were so accurate
We are all penguins walking towards death
@@jordanlewis4983 Well, yes-that’s unavoidable. We’re all moving towards death from the moment we’re born.
Not only society, life itself.
@@lothar3610 Just because we are aware of the chaos around us doesn't mean we have to surrender to it. Take stock in the good memories you have, the good moments you have had, the people who are there or gone who taught you your own personal version of happiness and beauty. Don't rely on a god or a figurehead to guide you in life, take the plunge, and realize every day is new and our time is short. We are not the center of the universe, and life is always going to have suffering, but without that suffering, we wouldn't have purpose to help and heal others in many ways, or inspire us like Herzog has to find our own meaning without the continued harm and manipulation of others to get close to what we believe we want. Don't give up on humanity, and don't give up on life, keep going, spread love in your own way without harm, and know the best or kind of us are trying to do that in their own way.
Not every famous person saying something negative is a prediction.
This man has made lots of films, he ate his shoe after losing a bet, he had a mixed working relationship with the difficult klaus kinski, he saved Joaquin Phoenix from a ca accident and got shot and carried on with an interview. What an interesting life.
He also pulled a ship over a mountain, ran into a border war in South America , walked from Munich to Paris on foot and purposely jumped into a cactus.
It was an insignificant bullet.
Imagine being Joaquin in that moment.
You're driving along and there is a bright flash as you lose control of the car... then as you come to: "und it vas zen zat young Ally virst come to realice ze zeverity of vat had uhccured in ze ztreet zat naheet"
And he’s the only director to ever film on all 7 continents
In order to get to the filmset of Aguirre, he tried hard to get a flight, but without success. The plane crashed over the jungle and except one girl all passengers died
“I would come along, I wouldn’t have a problem.” I genuinely believe Herzog when he says he’d go to Mars. Very few people I would believe, but I could see him strapped to a rocket venturing out into the void. And I would want him to be the one to film it all.
He'd just go up there and still be abundantly nihilistic... Like...
"I find the exploration of this red planet to be nothing but a pointless act in favour of man's hubris and pride as he stares into the void of his own mortality."
@@tedparkinson2033 LOL spot on!
This got me thinking. How the hell didn't he get on the crew for dearMoon?
@@tedparkinson2033 Not true. He'd be excited at the opportunity to photograph and film Mars from the surface.
I could even listen to him reading an old phonebook
He will make commentary on the phonebook. Probably on how it's like a corpse left on life support. No one uses the phonebook, but still, every year, it shows up on our doorstep.
They still make phonebooks?
@@themadplotter kid, i said an OLD phonebook...
@@psnamstutz9078 god I wish I was a kid so I thought that comment was original.
"As I browse the endless flood of numerically represented humanity on the manilla pages before me, I can only think of the horror wrought by the reptilian depths of the human brain we call the Yellow Pages. Marvel as we descend into the madness which we have created. My search for the telephone number of Tony's Pizzeria has been in vain. It is not my physical being that starves, but my very soul…"
"Have the monks stopped meditating? They all seem to be tweeting" is still my favourite quote of his, I just love the exasperated tone when he says it too! 😂❤☸
I would love to watch an interview between David Lynch and Werner Herzog, just to see who taps out first in the weird-off.
Yessss
"Overwhelming fornication" is likely a phrase never spoken before or since.
But engaged in, oh don't you half doubt it me ol' china
My favorite Werner Herzog moment is his cameo in Parks and Rec where he's the creepy landlord for the mansion Andy and April buy.
"After 47 years of living here...I decided to move to Orlando....so I can be closer to Disney World..."
"This was a doll head factory?"
"No. This was a holding cell for people who went insane on the assembly line."
Herzog is at his best when it comes to nature and animals, as the clips here show: the epic rant about the rainforest, the contempt for chickens, the unsentimental description of bears, the "insane" penguin ...
the collective harmony...of murder
that poor penguin…😢
His documentary about volcanos was very good too
Werner Herzog deserves far better than the modern Simpsons writing
Its like using silk for toilet paper. Such a waste.
yeah, he should have written his own simpsons treehouse of horror special or at least his own dialogues/monologues
Boondocks is great Herzog!
It's getting a bit tired, the whole hating on modern Simpsons cuz you think it's the cool band wagon to be on, thing.
That episode is like 11 years old
"When you were shot, did you call the police?"
"No. I've been shot at with much more serious bullets before in my life."
Even as a german i have to confess, this is a strong german accent. :D
You have to love Werner Herzog, you really have to. This world will be a lot emptier once hes gone. But i dont want to think about that. And i am sorry i brought that up.
Sounds like something Werner herzog would say
I read somewhere that Joaquin Phoenix was in a bad car wreck, and he was pulled out and looked after by Werner Herzog. Herzog tried to downplay the situation and not call attention to himself
And now phoenix is fucked right up. Moral: don’t talk to Werner Herzog if you want to not play the joker one day
@@jordanlewis4983Growing up in a cult will do that to you as well.
@@salmanedyAnd he's done quite well despite that
God I love the way he monologues
“There’s something exhilarating about a man being shot at without much success.” 🤘
He aint wrong. Ive been shot at thankfully to no success and exhilarating definitely fills one descriptor lol
@@idiotidiot5821 Lol!!!!
He would be a great Bond Villain
He played an Imperial villain in The Mandalorian.
By far, his small role was the the greatest part of that show.
He was the villain in the Jack Reacher film.
He felt like a Bond villain in that
The jungle speech sounds like a Bond villain monologue
He should be the next Bond
what would his secret master plan be????😂😂😂😂😂
I'd just love to hear Werner's voice narrate my life as it were a documentary.
Gotta get eaten by a grizzly bear then
All you need to do is use his voice for your internal monologue. I tried it once for the majority of a single daytime and it became difficult to desist. I'm fine now except that occasionally I'm prone to bouts of nihilistic ecstacy at the sight of the meaningless meanderings of the common earthworm.
I do and I want it to stop😭
"Fynn, the fox, leaves a trivial, uninspired, purposeless comment"
Once there was a generic furry. The End
3:21 is the funniest thing Ive heard in a long time
I laughed but on rewatch knowing he was the voice made it WAY funnier
Where is that line from and the context
@@nostalgiachannel318 Rick and Morty
@@KR11111 cheers
I'm weeping from laughter from it. Painfully funny.
Werner Herzog is the hero we need, not the hero we deserve.
Interviewer: How did you react when you were shot? Herzog: First time?
lol. I missed that. Of course..."which time were you referring to?"
"As always, the frisbee reflects the soul." top 5 quotes of all time
The chicken bit had me on the floor.
I feel the same about pigeons. 😂😂
Well Nikola Tesla loved pigeons more than people personally I like chickens even if they are stupid they are low maintenance and give eggs to eat.
@@annalisavajda252 I like penguins they're cute and i don't mind the noise.
I want to hear him try to tell a bedtime story, but get sidetracked by, "the cruel, and unrelenting darkness. I see no peace here. I don't see bedtime as a time of solace, it is a time of nightmares, and uncertainty. To subject a child to such pain really shows the nature of man and his cruelty. Mary had a little lamb..."
He and many others saw real horrors in Germany as Children but you can read some Brothers Grimm or Krampus stories yourself.
5:43 Ok I lost it. This is hilarious.
Extremely fucked up scene in relation to the film. so, fuck your humor, DiCaprio man
Never in my wildest dreams did I ever expect to hear a man insult chickens with such passionate ferocity. All the same NOW I have.
I will always remember Warner Herzog from the documentary of Grizzly Man. I became fascinated with his voice than because it was just so soothing I guess you call it. I'm also glad that I finally got to see what he looks like finally on the Mandalorian
Doesn't he feature in-person during Grizzly Man? It's not just a narration, if I remember.
He was also perfectly cast in Jack Reacher
Thats how I heard of him too. I love his calm, heavily accented voice combined with his philosophical and pessimistic musings on life, animals, the human condition etc. What a guy!
Then and than are different words with different meanings.
Herzog is really a great poet whose language happened to be cinema
This guy's voice oh my god
Werner Herzog is the most enlightened man on the planet.
I love how he's just like, "yeah the bullet didn't hurt that bad, so it was kind of just a fun experience for me".
"You can tell that Woody Allen has never milked a cowww"
If someone makes a documentary about my life, I want the soothing voice of Werner Herzog telling the story of my certain doom.
Oh, man, you left out my favorite quote, from the Les Blank docu about the making of Fitzcaraldo. He was talking about the "Chungle," as he did a lot, and he says it's wholesale murder, "...And the birds...they are not sing-ging from choy, they are screaming in agony!"
I would love to see Werner in the countryside getting into staring contests with chickens to see who has the greater will
How can you forget his legendary voice over ending on American Dad on Ricky Spanish
The bit about the penguin waddling off to die is too much!! 😂😂😂
I realize the chicken stare down has humbled me and left me trembling before this superior adversary.
I laughed my ass off at all of the out of context quotes, but honestly Werner blowing Henry Rollins' mind talking about getting shot like hes fucking Snoop Dogg is the best part of this
Henry Rollins is no stranger to being shot at himself...when he was younger, he and his best friend were mugged right outside of his house and the friend was shot and killed right in front of him. He talks about it on an episode of Unsolved Mysteries (the muggers were never caught)
@@strahljd I wasn't saying anything bad about either of them. I am aware of the history of violence in hardcore
@@jevinday Wasn't saying you were saying anything bad =) Just adding another layer of irony to the situation
@@strahljd gotcha haha. There's an unsolved mysteries episode about Henry Rollins?
@@jevinday Yep! More specifically it's about Joe Cole, his best friend who got shot, and Henry features on the episode talking about what happened. Can't show links here but if you google Joe Cole Unsolved Mysteries you should be able to find it
Werner Herzog arriving on Mars, building up the set, coordinating his crew "Alright, are we rolling? Okay-
Agreeing to go to Mars is by far the stupidest thing I have ever done.
In my egomaniacal delusion, to be the first one to make a film on Mars itself, I completely overlooked the fact that this is a desolate and dreary wasteland, where nothing interesting is going on, besides the fact that its surface has a hint of pinkish sheen on its hellish red and empty surface. The knowledge that the next spaceship home will arrive in another 20 years, fills me with existential dread and preemptive boredom..."
Holy shit, 70s Werner
Let's not forget he is the man that lifted a fucking ship up a mountain in an Amazonian forest.
So he says...
@@Johnconno a documentary was made about it ...
@martinmoore6168 Yeah, it's kind of hard to say otherwise. When you blatantly document the process, as an artistic statement.
I'm surprised they even second guessed you by saying, "(s)o he says".
I just can’t get enough of his voice
"A land God created in anger"
In a mad world, sanity looks like madness.
Herzog has more wisdom, insight and level-headedness than 99.99% of humans living today.
He sounds crazy because our ears are so accustomed to irrational, senseless bullshit.
Penguins...
❤ its so true…❤
Late reply, but the world has always been mad and full of bullshit
Nothing in life is so exhilarating as to be shot at without result. (Winston Churchill)
Nothing in life is so exhilarating as to be shot at without seeing other people shot. (Werner Herzog)
Loved that you ended with the Rollins bit. One of my all time favorite Herzog moments. :)
This video deserves millions of views. Brilliant
this man is an absolute enigma
What exquisite craftsmanship
Dieser Mann macht mir sogar Englisch schmackhaft... :-)
I've always wondered if a human standing by that penguin caused that penguin to do that.
Werner Herzog and Klaus Kinski, the most perfect/at odds relationship I have ever witnessed. RIP, Klaus.
his voice is so calming
I don’t know how I’m just now being introduced to this, but this is a fascinating man. I’m down the rabbit hole for sure.
0:21 "There is something looming over this city. That thing is me"
The only time I've seen him happy is when hes talking about the time he got shot.
God I love this man!
honestly the simpsons bits were the least interesting/funny
Whoever made this is a legend
Er hat gesprochen wie ein Löwe
He is 100% right about that rainforest.
I want Werner Herzog to live narrate my life.
I literally laughed through almost this entire video.
Love his dig at television.
I’ve heard Conan O’Brian talk about the Werner Herzog penguin movie before. About how he goes into a thing about the penguin and madness. I was not expecting to see this clip, but goddamn dose it deliver. 😂
Fully agree with the bit about talk shows.
I love his voice.
“Overwhelming Fornication”. It doesn’t get any better than this, does it ?
I love this man. Even Nihilists would seem like happy party people compared to some of his obversations;)
ich liebe dieses Video so sehr
Ich auch
I want this guy giving me directions on google maps and also would love to replace Alexa with him lol
Yes!!!
“Turn right after the high school, where budding minds are milked of their final expressions of zealous youthfulness to be violently hammered into cogs of shame and desperate, hollow ambition…guided aimlessly and dispassionately into the machine of lackluster society as dreams of curious creative exploration are mortally wounded to give way to the endeavor of getting laid beneath a beer pong table in a college frat house.
Rerouting.”
I found out about Werner Herzog via Clams Casino’s music video using clips from Aguirre, The Wrath of God. I watched the whole film when I was like 14-15. Didn’t really appreciate it then though now I really like Werner Herzog just for his character and all his little cameos here and there. He seems like a guy who really enjoys the craft in a completely unpretentious way.
There was a podcast where Paul F. Tompkins pretended to be Werner Herzog. They asked him what movies he’d watched recently and he said “I watch the timelapse videos of dead animals' carcasses. Have you seen the one with the raccoon? It deteriorates into *nothing* “
I would like Herzog narrated my life, he is the only person who could make it sound interesting
Herzog called it. Dead eyes and indifference. We live in the wild despite the illusion of comfort.
Most optimistic German
Werner is my happy play time hero
the penguin part is so hilarious
Il merito più grande di Herzogh è di aver fatto capire anche a chi non Sa riconoscere il talento ... Che Kinsky è stato il più magnetico inquietante intenso e geniale in assoluto...
Werner Herzog completely changed how I see chickens.
Gonna start saying “jungly” now
Werner Herzog might be the white Morgan Freeman
I mean if Freeman is God, Herzog is like Ingmar Bergman’s version of Death: scary but weirdly philosophical at the same time.
@@benwasserman8223 hmm
Legend!
Herzog is hilarious. Would love to drink pints with him.
Is he intentionally funny is the question that makes it even more funny.
His point about chickens is spot on lmao. Look a chicken in the eye and tell me you're still certain they're intelligent enough to feel pain.
We know some birds are very smart. Crows, parrots for example. I wonder if we've bred the brains out of chickens. Maybe it's just as well, for them.
@@allosaurusfragilis7782 They don't need much up there. Not really.
Owned an African grey, true intelligence, almost frightening.
Owned chickens. Frighteningly dumb, but sometimes sweet.
Chicken demonstrate cognitive skills on par with other mammals and primates. If you hide an object from a chicken, they will still know it's there - this is something even young human children aren't able to do. Even if they were uniquely dumb, it wouldn't justify the horrific things we do to them (cutting their beaks off, throwing baby chicks in blenders, feeding them until they're too obese to support their own body weight, killing and butchering them, etc.).
Werner Herzog is my spirit animal.
