Nardwuar interviews Fred Armisen at SXSW 2013 in Austin, Texas ! Thanks to Tyler Williams for the filming , John Biehler for the photos & Chic-A-Go-Go for the extra footage! / nardwuar
Nardwaur is seriously the coolest person i messaged him on facebook asking if he would do the Doot Doola Doot Doo thing with me he messaged me back saying Doot Doo and keep on rawking in the free world.
I think it was a bit weird for Fred at first, too. Then Fred just decided that he couldn't play that game, and decided to give Nard the minimum polite participation.
No surprises that the only piece of incredibly personal information that impressed Fred, was Nardwaur name dropping some wildly obscure Chicago punk from the 80s
elisia jenkins It does seem that way however...Fred was on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee with Jerry Seinfeld and his demeanor was exactly the same. I think that’s just him.
The guy gives a lot and is under constant media scrutiny. If I were in his position, I wouldn't let them see my real personality. You need to have something that is yours that won't be picked apart by journalists and assholes in the comments section.
Nardwuar is a legendary interviewer. He lives to surprise these people who have been asked the same questions for years on end. It takes a lot of work but he must get a kick out of it. That's his whole angle; doing the research and the mastery of finding exclusive archives.
Fred is one of those great comedic actors i always miss on "the greats" tier list, and as soon as i remember i go through their portfolio and comment on videos from 10 year ago.
It's so great that Nardwuar can just go online instead of having to exist on local-access tv and hard-to-find videotapes like when I first heard of him.
I recently had a coworker that looked exactly like Fred Armisen only with slightly darker skin, and he was a goofball with a sense of humor from hell, he was hilarious just like Fred, I wonder if they were related.
For the record I believe there is a reason Nardwuar titles his videos with himself vs. whomever, Nadwuar is an ultimate troll (and I mean this in the best context) His tenacity as a journalist goes above and beyond finding facts about the people he interviews, almost to the point where it puts him at odds with them. With that being said I respect any man with such resilience to his craft. #salute Nardwuar
Nardwuar is a character that Fred would play
@Comrade Kong He who?
Narduwar is every character Fred is trying to play
He def missed this opportunity on SNL. He could’ve done Nards justice.
Lmmfao thats dirty lol
And he'd play him well.
"People are never disappointed about anything".
4orkast It's a technique to completely kill a joke/line they dont like.
Irony of ironies. Is Fred on a fruitarian diet?
elnubnub eeeeeeeyyyy FREDDAYYYYY
@@IYPITWL Right. I was laughing when he said that.
Alot of tension
the seriousness he kept when he said "people are never dissapointed about anything" im
fucking dying
Nardwaur is seriously the coolest person i messaged him on facebook asking if he would do the Doot Doola Doot Doo thing with me he messaged me back saying Doot Doo and keep on rawking in the free world.
Its like fred is threatened by nardwuars more hipster or indy than he is
fred is just smart enough to not give a shit about nardwuar's lame shtick
extreme versions of the same person
how DARE you
He is more hipster and indie. No one should be that hipster or indie.
lolol
I always find it disappointing when Nardwuar isn’t thanked for his gifts.
It's weird seeing Fred be the straight man in this video and not the one doing a bit! :)
Yeah well sexual preference isn't always based on how someone acts. Dick^
brandon idgaf Hmmm
Yeah I thought this video might help me understand him better but it didn't really... He's... aloof?
I think it was a bit weird for Fred at first, too. Then Fred just decided that he couldn't play that game, and decided to give Nard the minimum polite participation.
@@johnmcclane2768 He's so utterly clearly blindingly undeniably gay that you sound stupid pretending otherwise
It's like Fred is staring right into one of his characters
they should get him on portlandia and start the sketch with them unfreezing
Genius
IMAFUGYOSHIZUP excellent.
IMAFUGYOSHIZUP you. I like you.
it should also include in some way, janet from sleater kinney returning the jumper she borrowed and has yet to give back. ha.
Howling.
"People are never disappointed about anything"
-Fred Armisen
Fred is a professional, I've never seen anyone else handle the freeze frame as well.
I'm dying to know who broke away first 😄
@@thomaslucignano5188 I was wondering as well. I’m leaning towards Fred held it longer or else they’d show it lol
Just thinking the same. Only guy I’ve seen hold it
I have to know
who moved first...
5:39 "People are never disappointed about anything" with a straight face hahahaha
J P He’s kind of an asshole
@@nathanpenick959 Nope.
That dude went from pissed to impressed in seconds with the next question!
“You’re like the most versatile person out there Fred!”
Fred: 😳
Rumour has it they are still frozen in Austin, Texas to this day.
bill mullarky still??
Still?
Still?
They will melt come August.
bill mullarky I just checked.
They are still there.
Fred is casual as fuck
People are never disappointed about anything.
Best ending. You think Fred doesn't get it with the doo doo part, then he freezes perfectly.
I think Nardwuar and Fred is the same person but the only differences is that Nard is hyper-extroverted and Fred collects antique coins or whatever
Fred looks younger now than back in the fericito days.
No surprises that the only piece of incredibly personal information that impressed Fred, was Nardwaur name dropping some wildly obscure Chicago punk from the 80s
Nardwaur the best misspelled interviews ever with the best digging underground shyte ever
Holy Shit!!!! Fred nailed that interview!
I feel like I am watching a portlandia skit haha
"but then again I can believe it..."
Imagine if everyone had a Nardwuar in their life...
One of my all time favorites. Thank you
im underwhelmed, which makes me overwhelmed of disappointment that two of my favorite people have no chemistry
elisia jenkins It does seem that way however...Fred was on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee with Jerry Seinfeld and his demeanor was exactly the same. I think that’s just him.
Implying it's possible to have chemistry with a serviette.
How is Fred one of your favorite people and you don't know that's just how he is? lol
People are never disappointed tho
He might just not be "on" here. I think he's being polite and so forth here
Fred is a fucking legend. seriously underrated comedian.
This is so interesting! I loved it!
I love the pause fo the Fericito skit! It's great to be the viewer and be able to experience it .
He seems like the best guy. Met him a bunch of times here in town and he's super chill.
That is some of the best double acting I’ve ever seen! The sync-up is flawless.
I think fred seems “out of his element” because he takes music very seriously. I bet if these two got together for a sketch they’d be great together
the perfect encounter!
I never know if Fred is acting or being normal.
Who's the real Fred ?
TheAgentAssassin the celeb|problem
Fred iz fred ya dig
He's a dick in real life
The guy gives a lot and is under constant media scrutiny. If I were in his position, I wouldn't let them see my real personality. You need to have something that is yours that won't be picked apart by journalists and assholes in the comments section.
William Epperson My friend met him a couple of months ago and told me nothing but nice things about him?
That David Cross looks more like Tropic Thunder Tom Cruise
Fericito is a whole vibe
Nardwuar’s weirdness is just another sketch for fred. He vibed with it easy.
This was great, especially the outro.
He did shit with Dinosaur Jr? Holy fuck.
separated at birth
One of the best ones, man.
Funny thing is Fred used to pull this same shit on sxsw bands back in the day
YES I'm so glad someone mentioned it because if nobody did I was going to 🤣
whats that?
@@rohsei1721 it’s on TH-cam here somewhere...
Wow that bobblehead doesn't look like David Cross
one of the best ones imo, wish I could see the full vid of his chik a gogo episode
That looks nothing at all like David Cross.
***** Well it is a bobblehead, so there's that.

This maybe my favorite interview yet
HOW the FUCK did they get a DVD of their guest's appearance on an old local tv show!?!?!?
thanks for the link nards!
Great Interview Nardwuar. Awesome!
That David Cross bobble head is horrendous.
You replied to your own comment. That's awesome.
Nardwwuar is like the best geeky friend you can't get rid of. And I mean that in an emotionally healthy way.
It's so great that Nardwuar can just go online instead of having to exist on local-access tv and hard-to-find videotapes like when I first heard of him.
This shouldn’t be possible
It’s interesting that they were probably in the same areas in the early 90s
fred is so chill
5:30 is fucking tense holy shit
Saw Trenchmouth at a bar in St. Cloud, MN in 1996....I feel old.
Ahh husker duu is a thing. I had coworker named Heather Dew and I'd ways refer to her as Husker Dew , but I didn't know what that was at the time.
I love Fred so much for this.
Huh, weird. Two people behind character walls, trying to stay ahead of the other.
That would be so amazing!
Awesome interview
How have I not seen this before? Awesome combo here.
upvoted for whistles and mouth noises
That’s the first time I’ve seen someone stay frozen with the Nard the whole time at the end. Fred is the best!
fred armisen looks like logic if he was 30 years older
Fred Green he looks biracial?
Coleman Trebor Logic is biracial?
@@javierechevarria3081 Well, he is biracial.
@@sonikku956 like 0.5%, lmao.
@@sonikku956 more like multiracial
It’s Ian Rubbish of the Bizarros.
THAT FREEZE FRAME!
How he starts grooming the bobblehead is hilarious.
Noooo the end fuckin killed me with his sound effects n weirdness. Then he kept still just like nardwuar! He pulled a nardwuar on nardwuar whaaaa
Nardwuar is legit a Portlandia character.
Nardwuar: I have a gift for you
Gift: immediate existential dread
The ending brought tears to my eyes.
oh fuck yeah!
Love it all, but holy shit, the last twenty seconds. Brill-o-al-en-te!!
He’s associated with punk because he said so. He was in a prog band once.
Love the fericito clip!
Theremin impression second to none.
Nobody out awkwards the Nardwuar.
I recently had a coworker that looked exactly like Fred Armisen only with slightly darker skin, and he was a goofball with a sense of humor from hell, he was hilarious just like Fred, I wonder if they were related.
you have to drop his instagram lol
Great interview nardwuar!
Fred just give a fucking smile mate
That turned out better than I thought it would.
The freeze was hilarious
why do i find it so much funnier when they freeze with him
They seem to mesh well together as I know that Nardwuar can freak guests out with his knowledge. Yet I feel that Armisen has that same vibe.
cut from the same cloth
I don't know why but i figured this was going to be the best interview in the history of interviews
Aww this is my favorite episode
"These are wrapped in towels thats the fun of it" It's a serviette ya punk
People who are punk enthusiasts are like people who are really into jazz. Not a bad thing but, "just sayin."
we need a nardwuar vs deathgrips, Stan Lee, and MF Doom
Rip MF Doom
Came here to politely request you upload the Needle Drop interview... seems he has more love than I thought. Go Fantano!
Such a sweet pair of guys....this could have been an hour long and I would have watched.
For the record I believe there is a reason Nardwuar titles his videos with himself vs. whomever, Nadwuar is an ultimate troll (and I mean this in the best context) His tenacity as a journalist goes above and beyond finding facts about the people he interviews, almost to the point where it puts him at odds with them.

Also why, when someone gets a comeback or whanot, or rolls well with the punches, Nardwuar goes 'ba-boom'. He knows it's a battle.
