He seems like a fairly cerebral and clever guy in his music, and then he doesn't like comedy but is into fart jokes. I actually didn't see this coming...
+badarts im sorry, I can't understand your poor terming. does that mean you're claiming not to be part of grampa mu by liking meme grips, or or you're mocking meme grips as if that makes you cool? either one is pretty lame tbh.
For not enjoying humor, I think he’s pretty funny. He’s so dry I wonder whether he even knows he is. Jim Carrey: I think he’s been a bad influence... on children.
I totally get what he means about the negative influence of Jim Carrey. It's easy to tell that a lot of the most obnoxious Vine comedians (mainly I'm thinking of Marcus Johns) were heavily influenced by the guy.
This is a really dope TH-cam channel thanks for sharing it. It was a pleasure watching and learning how the big boys do it at ACL. I'll see you next year your pal the double fist ter
+Matt Jarvie No they couldn't but the interesting thing is i always walk away from these feeling like I understand these people more. We shouldn't underestimate what we can learn from someone by simply asking them what they think of the weather.
I don't think this was a good idea. Not the kind of guy you interview hoping for a sequence of chuckle-worthy but digestible idiosyncrasies. The dude obviously doesn't bear a tolerance of whimsy and absurdity, which I don't condemn, it's just a very esoteric outlook. Not the best Over/Under, to say the least.
Daniel Rauch Do you actually speak like this? Or did you have to pull out a dictionary to write this comment? Because everything you said here could have easily been put into more digestible terms. You could have a future writing for Pitchfork, they love this style - increasing the ego of the writer while conveying little to the reader. Not standing up for Mr. Destroyer here, he seems like a stuck up bore.
I do try to speak in a more verbose manner in person but for the most part I'm a condescending pseudo-intellectual putting on airs to feel superior. Not joking, I'll own up to it. Glad somebody calls me out on my bullshit lol
Man, this dude is so cool that he doesn´t even get the pop culture references in order to get ironic or sarcastic at all like it usually happens with the other videos in this series
wow. At the risk of sounding like an internet troll, this guy is completely insufferable. Jim Carrey is a bad influence on kids? I never thought i would hear anyone under the age of 200 say that with a straight face.
You can tell he's kind of fucking around, and perhaps it's a darker humor, but he's a charismatic guy. I wouldn't be too literal with what he said about not being into comedy. Maybe not in the film or stand up sense. But his own world views and outlook are quirky to the point of comic, and I think Canadian culture itself is steeped in an ironic sense of humor. Think Kids in the Hall or SATV versus SNL or John Stewart. Different ways into comedy, but comedy just the same. ...ryan
Disapproves of Jim Carrey because of his negative effect on children. Approves of beauty pageants, even when acknowledging they're a negative part of society and argues they're underrated specifically because of that. So this guy was talking out his ass this loud as a joke, right?
Well, he didn't approve of them. Since they're more or less a figure of the past, but still persist in different ways today, he thought they were underrated.
Love some of the music but I would never want to hangout with Dan Bejar. He is further proof that for the most part, modern day "indie" rock is mostly comprised of cranky assholes.
+boogerkingcrown I always sort of thought that he fancied himself as some kind of Canadian version of Bill Callahan/Smog- except Bill Callahan doesn't write such pretentious songs that he has to sing them out of the corner of his mouth... also, that Dream Love song is a total Lou Reed rip-off... just sayin'...
🌓🌓🌓 This guy SCREAMS...."I WILL SAY ANYTHING TO MAKE ME SEEM "COMPLICATED" & "DIFFERENT"... He ain't fooling me & I ain't buying it! He is a Simple Man with not much substance to him!
Definitely talking out his ass to occupy some "standout" persona. A lot of his answers are contradictory, and having to fake a moment of silence while thinking of reasons why Jim Carrey's free expression of self is negative.
@@sentienthotdog2353 If you re-read those carefully, you'll notice they were all along the same vein of Destroyer being a pretentious dillhole. Just giving further record of his doucheyness for the people, since they hadn't seen him intimately live like I had in 2011. Good thing I did; I totally forgot how lame Bejar was acting that night and all about this interview!
"Against Comedy" ? Jesus! I lost respect for him when I saw Destroyer live on the Kaputt tour and he was reading lyrics off a piece of paper while singing. This seals the deal. Jim Carrey is a genius, he is an actor, a painter and a DMT activist. Damn, this guy is a downer.
Just saw "Destroyer" (just what does he destroy? art? music? intellect? fashion?) open for Neko Case at The Sierra Nevada Big Room. His set was painful to hear and observe. His guitar playing was mediocre with compulsively repetitive strumming that begged for a change of pace or style. His singing was alternatively mumbly then loud and shrieking. After each song he took a huge bow as if he had done something great. He had not. I've since spoken with many people who also saw the show -- one out of 20 enjoyed his set, the rest mostly just shook their heads and frowned. Now, here he is looking like he just rolled out of bed and sounding as if he can't formulate coherent thoughts.
Something between a philosopher and a soccer mom
"I'm not really into funny shit"
"I love fart jokes"
Oh, dan behar
If you put Wayne Coyne and Mark Ruffalo in a supercollider, Dan Bejar is the result
this is the type of guy that reads books.
Way to generalize billions
How do you function on a day-to-day? Every joke must confuse the fuck out of you
I understand, as he made that abundantly clear. I am not stupid. I READ BOOKS.
+Will Greene I am both a Phd student and a lover of internet memes
and whys that
Even if you hated Ace Ventura, you still can't deny Carey's performance in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
+Stuie Malan This is true, that was a great one.
and it gave us jay electronica's classic
true

+Stuie Malan and the Number 23. I think Carey is overrated as a comedic actor, underrated as a dramatic one.
lol what a strange guy
@@Soundofsilver2007 of course
I want to read "against comedy"
I love Dan Bejar's music, but holy shit does he come off as a major buzzkill.
I saw him in a 3 part interview so I knew kinda what to expect, this is one of the memorable over unders for me
do you live in the suburbs
He's like bob dylan, people get annoyed cause they cant get into his head. Also makes great music,
Dan Bejar is bigger than the internet.
+lalala good comment he also seems to be over most of the internet
He seems like a fairly cerebral and clever guy in his music, and then he doesn't like comedy but is into fart jokes. I actually didn't see this coming...
+Leemor I'm pretty sure he was fucking around. I don't know how else you are expected to react to such stupid questions.
Hes something between a philosopher and a soccer mom
@@eduardlazarus4935 He just did.
One who watches 'punks kicking balls' is probably a soccer mom.
Thoroughly enjoyed this.
this roll is so fucking loud
+KindSteve I think that drumrolls are underrated.

… just like on every single destroyer record.
*fuck off back to dadrock mu

For not enjoying humor, I think he’s pretty funny. He’s so dry I wonder whether he even knows he is.
Jim Carrey: I think he’s been a bad influence... on children.
Exactly, I was cracking up this whole video
He's a combination of Bill Wurtz and Aubrey Plaza and I can't describe why
why is this accurate
This interview changed my life.
+hot god dinosaur jr rock
How can you say you're against comedy when you write a lyric "I've been around the world, I've seen a million girls..I've seen bangkok"
been waiting for this one
Dan. Funny as shit in this one
I totally get what he means about the negative influence of Jim Carrey. It's easy to tell that a lot of the most obnoxious Vine comedians (mainly I'm thinking of Marcus Johns) were heavily influenced by the guy.
I wanna have a beer and just chat with this guy
I'm here because it's his birthday. I've watched a couple of these overrated/underrated videos, and this one was expectedly odd. I loved it.
I love Dan Bejar and everything, but I'm gonna go watch Danny Brown's Over/Under like 4 more times.
HE IS TROLLING
Is there a way to get this video on a T-shirt? I'd like to wear it to a job interview.
This is a really dope TH-cam channel thanks for sharing it. It was a pleasure watching and learning how the big boys do it at ACL. I'll see you next year your pal the double fist ter
I think I am like him. That scares me.
strange answers.
Could they think of more idiotic questions to ask?
+Matt Jarvie No they couldn't but the interesting thing is i always walk away from these feeling like I understand these people more. We shouldn't underestimate what we can learn from someone by simply asking them what they think of the weather.
Bejar is a fucking genius!!!! PLEASE do not waste his and our time by asking him ridiculous questions!!!

i like him

wow KEXP just uploaded this guys full performance today too, what a coincidence. not sure what to think of this guys personality though..
He kinda looks like Robert Smith...
Man, I love Danny and all he does but this is a shade above the one you guys did with riff raff
Wonder how many people are gonna take this seriously, haha.
Dan Bejar is a funny guy. Who knew?
I'm so confused... What is happening..
One for the ages.

I get it
major bummer
oh this is why mikal cronen hates him
this dude is a bummer lol
If you didn't explicitly state that this guy was from Destroyer, I would assume what I was viewing was an interview of a random homeless person.

Anto comedy? oh yea? weird since the last album was a fucking joke.
Dan Bejar: OVERRATED

Dan Bejar is the most underrated guy out there in music.
@@manrodoornail Then go find some hack garbage that speaks to you, peasant.
what a hipster
Jim Carrey Ace ventura is not for Kids and overrated, but Fart jokes are moral and good. Hmm! We have a dork here!

All of a sudden his feud with Taylor Swift make full sense

PS I saw him live, he was a drunk asscrack who just wanted his money and to get off stage. Butthurt about getting the small stage secondary to Devo
