Well, you don’t need to be a crime solving robot with a miniature pilot in its derrière to keep track of this bit whereas for ratatouille you’d have to be a man wearing a hat hiding the rat controlling you to keep up with it
Clapton being in Tool is such a great bit. "I know the pieces fit bc I saw them up your ass." were some of Eric's original concepts before Maynard Keenan stepped in.
I remember, uh... during my initial jam sessions with the band... umm, they told me they had been working on this new song called "Schism" which... uh.... was based on this compound drum pattern. And, uh.... Maynard asked me to come up with some sort of, uh... looping riff in a 5/8th time signature, and I told him, uh, "No, mate. That's fucking gay." and I was fired the next morning.

“This was the greatest tragedy in my life. Probably the worst thing that’s ever happened to me was being rejected by Tool and having them steal my idea for this sick alien” -Eric Clapton Knowing the context of that joke, that’s so goddamn funny lol
@whatsursource In 1991, Eric Clapton's four year old son Conor fell to his death from the open bedroom window of his mother's friend's apartment on the 53rd floor of a Manhattan building. His song "Tears in Heaven" is about this.
Clapton is just about the most overrated musician there ever was. I don't know how people can listen to his guitar teacher level skill and think he's a musical genius.
My favorite Eric Clapton movie is “Knight Rider,” where David Hasselhoff lives inside the ass of a Trans Am, and controls it with a bunch of buttons and levers.
There's actually enormous nuance on display here. Consider, for instance, whether the tiny man is indeed puppeteering the large man using levers and buttons, or whether the large man has been shrunk so small as to fit inside the small man's ass, employing size 0 pvc piping to achieve his aims? This erudite discussion of Clapton's work prompts us to question our own positionality- is Eric, man who has forgotten his own accent, a genius or a consumate regard? Where is the line between them? Is there such a line? Or is it we, the audience, who are the true regards in Clapton's interviews and performances?

Pls just upload the whole episode. There’s still so many funny Clapton bits missing from this. Him being abused in the bathroom, the bastard of buildings, etc.
I was at secondary school in London in the late '70s, and let me tell you this - you remember where you were when Eric Clapton debuted *"Shrink You Down And Live Inside My Ass"* on Top Of The Pops. From that moment on it was like, musically, you were either a Rolling Stones kid or you were into living inside asses and controlling them like a gundam. Not to be confused with a gungan.

They fail to appreciate his genius.

"This is when he was pretending to be straight."
"This was when he was pretending to be a kitten"
Hands down favorite part of the bit
“straight then cat then gay” for some reason just gets me
I love stav being so dumb, he says he loves the song Cocaine to immediately start doing the riff to Layla.
Probably the worst thing that's ever happened to me was being rejected by Tool and then having them steal my idea about the sick alien.
No JR or JRE bit could never. Ever. Touch this.
Because he's not a comedian.
2:18 dude he really does the same speech mannerisms. Best Clapton impression ive heard. Might be the only Clapton impression ive heard
Stav's constant attempts to end the bit and Nick just keeps ploughing through.
"wow, thank you eric"
“it was a dream I had after eating a lot of bananas”
"you'd have to control me with wires and buttons" i think i might have permanently damaged an organ after hearing that

The comedy formula is so simplistic...yet they squeeze 20 minutes out of it.
There's actually enormous nuance on display here. Consider, for instance, whether the tiny man is indeed puppeteering the large man using levers and buttons, or whether the large man has been shrunk so small as to fit inside the small man's ass, employing size 0 pvc piping to achieve his aims?
